Just returned after a 4 night stay. Its been over 3 years since our last visit mainly because of the sites popularity and our availability. Wardens warm and friendly. First noticed the changes, the site is much more open and light. The location is great just a short walk into York even with 3 large dogs. Can also recommend the Indian Restaurant (access from rear gate) we had takeaway because of the dogs. Although many places are dog friendly (can recommend Stonegate Yard in York itself) but its hard to find somewhere that will take 2 shepherds and a ridgeback and still have space for other customers. Plenty of outside seating in York when the weather is warmer. Didn't notice any noise from the building site next door. Hopefully we will return.
