Peaceful site with beautiful scenery
Very peaceful site with lovely scenery. Good facilities and immaculately clean. Lots of places to visit locally and easy to get to. We stayed for five nights and really enjoyed it. We will return to this site.

Wished we could have stayed longer............
We used this CL as a stopover for two nights on our way to Cumbria/Northumberland. It was absolutely lovely. Upon returning from our holiday, both the Other Half and myself agreed that whilst all three CL sites on which we stayed were really good, this one was our favourite. As I said, we only stayed two nights, but we will be back to stay longer in the future, of that you can be sure.
One of the best
I don't really want to write this review as I don't want to find this CL fully booked the next time we want to visit! This CL is up there with the best! Spacious, welcoming, immaculately kept outside and in the facilities, plus very well priced. Amazing views (when it isn't raining!) And lots to to in the local area for families. Will not hesitate to return here.
1 of the best
This has got to be one of the best CLs we have ever stayed on and the owners are very friendly and helpful .We spent 9 nights here and the weather was perfect for most of them.The site has a couple of pitching areas either the large field or the orchard,both with hookup,we were on the large field.There is a slight slope but nothing serious and is easily sorted with ramps.There is a shower room with toilet and a separate toilet both of which are kept spotlessly clean.The view from the main field is terrific with the occasional heritage train passing the bottom of the site (only runs a couple of times a day and not every day and is normally diesel).TV reception is good as is phone reception.
The site seems very popular (not surprisingly) so booking is advisable.
peace and quiet is yours
If you want peace and quiet this is the place for you. We had a warm welcome and shown where we could pitch{there was a few places } and where all the facilities where. The ground is slightly sloping so levelling blocks where required, but with plenty of space between caravans. The toilets are cleaned daily as is the wet room, where there is also an information table. Lambs were in a field near the caravan and we spent a restful afternoon just watching them play. We toured the area around the lovely little villages and Leyburn Shawl. Another day we went to Hawes cheese factory then on over the pass to Reeth, the scenery was wonderful. Thorpe Perrow arburetium was full of bluebells and tree blossom, but a bit expensive. We will be going back another season to this wonderful area.
