This has to be the best cl in the UK!

I'm serious - this has to be the best cl in the UK. Booking was easy and Ailsa was very good. We stayed in August 2021 and had exclusive use of the bathroom - WOW! Firstly, the location is incredible. It's at the end of a long, straight, ascending road leading to the farm and the cl. Consequently, there are no trains and no passing traffic. You are in the heart of the countryside. A walk of about 40 minutes takes you to some breathtaking views (and walks, I believe) of the Moors. So, it's peaceful and beautiful. The pitches are well-kept and absolutely massive. The shower room with shower, sink and WC is immaculate and was the reason for us booking. Helmsley itself is a pretty (but very busy) town and the best sausage rolls we've ever had are to be found in the market square. There are some lovely trips out, eg the museum of life in Hutton-le-Hole, Helmsley Castle and the waterfall at Goathland. Scarborough and Whitby are a 45 - 60 minute drive and Whitby was very busy during the Regatta. We tried to get into Robin Hood's Bay but couldn't find a car park space. To be honest, I think most tourist destinations were heaving in the summer of 2021! We absolutely loved driving around the Moors, stopping and drinking in the view. Pickering wasn't quite the beautiful North Yorkshire town I thought it might have been. The Sunday roast at The Owl in Hawnby was delicious. I definitely recommend the cl at Beadlam Rigg. We feel we've explored the area, but would have liked another couple of days to explore the paths from the Rigg. My family have asked if we can return next summer, so we'll see. I've just been through every cl on the Motorhome and Caravan Club website and this has reaffirmed my opinion that there is nowhere better out there.
