Stayed at this lovely site for 3 nights with my 3 children to spend a weekend exploring York. Lisa was very quick to respond to my email and booking was very efficient. The site was perfect for what we needed, lovely clean toilet and shower block, washing up facilities and level hardstanding pitches. We used the park and ride which was a couple of minutes down the road from the site and so easy to hop on the bus into York city. Will definitely stay again, thank you

Just came back from a very windy and wet weekend but was a lovely chilled out break. Lisa was very quick at responding and made the process very easy, and even making sure we were okay in the stormy conditions. Unfortunately a couple of campers couldn't make it so Lisa messaged us to see if we would like to move away from the tree! Little knock on the door in the storm and Lisa had bought us a Christmas pressie which was a lovely touch. 😁 Site was clean including the showers and toilets, definitely recommend and hopefully come back to York next year, without a storm next time. 😂

Lovely 2 night stay. Clean, tranquil, fantastic facilities. Warm welcome from Lisa the lovely owner who kindly accommodated us to be sited next to family on request. Love the fact the bus stop into York is only at the top of the lane. Will definitely stay again and have already recommended to others. Thank you Lisa 😘
