ORCHARD VIEW, BEDALE, 2-9 August 2020 (on website not yet in directory) Lovely CL. Exceptionally well maintained and slightly sloping well drained lawned paddock. Our hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Lots of space for the five pitches and the policy of ‘park were you want within reach of your designated electric point’, was excellent. Everybody was into social distancing and respecting others space so there was loads of space for each pitch. (Only one tourer that arrived later in the week showed zero consideration in this respect and for some reason felt the need to park as close to a neighbour as he possibly could). All facilities were first class. Immaculate chemical disposal point (also used for grey water) with hand sanitiser and wipes provided. Very clean electric hook up and water tap on each pitch. There were horses, cattle, goats and pigs in adjoining paddocks. All fun to watch and all as well cared for as the site itself. The orchard produces apple juice for cider making and makes for a pleasant walk around. We also enjoyed an attractive walk to the nearby village of Pickhill, and Bedale, Thirsk and Ripon all within a short drive. The site itself was down a long, easy and well cared for private driveway and consequently was a good distance from the A1. Traffic noise varied between non existent and minimal. Absolutely no problem. Great location, nice owners. We look forward to a return visit.
