Excellent if you want quiet but not the best all round we've been to

The main thing I can say is that this site is very quiet and peaceful with the only real background noise the birds. If you don't mind the peacock as an alarm call this it is perfect for getting away from road noise and back to nature. The railway at the bottom of the site is active very infrequently so is not a nuisance. The approach to the site is a single track road which is wider than it looks and if you take it slow there should be no problem getting even large vans into the site. However, the road around the site can be a bit narrow in places and care must be taken went turning corners. The pitches themselves are also pretty shorter. We have a 7.4m van and booked a pitch without and awning and out hitch was stuck out into the road. My advice is that if you have anything other than a 2-berth or a small motorhome then you will probably need to book a pitch with an awning to make sure you have enough space -- especially during busy times when there aren't many pitches to choose from. Toilets and showers are just a single block which can mean you have a bit of walk depending on where your pitch is. They are adequately furnished although the shower cubicles do not a have a bench inside and feel a bit cramped. They also do not have a dropped shower basin like some other sites we've stayed at so any water or dirt outside the shower basin cannot be washed away into the shower drain meaning you end up with a horrible collection of dirt outside the shower which you have to avoid stepping in while getting dressed standing up in a tight space which is not nice. This is the main factor which would make me not return to this site unfortunately but you can decide if you care or not. It is nicely placed for local amenities but the Pheasant Inn does not serve food so there is not local pub to walk to in that regard. You might want to try the Bolton Arms in Leyburn which was pricey for the standard of food. About half an hour from the Wensleydale creamery which is a good half day out and has an excellent restaurant. Co-op in Leyburn served as our local shop for supplies and there is also a house and home shop in the town which stocks some caravan supplies.
