Peter and his wife, the assistant wardens were fabulous and more than helpful; what a shame about the actual wardens who were to say the least unhelpful and autocratic in their approach and attitude, even when indeed they had not given out the correct information and then approached and reprimanded us for not doing as we had been bidden!!!
Far more pleasant when the assistants were in charge and being more than helpful.
The site, as with previous reviews is beautiful and very good for walks straight from the site with a superb large quarry spreading out for some miles of walks.
The pitches are in places a little more than sloping. Our pitch was far too far away from the electric bollard and well over the correct cable length.(as supplied as standard with ALL caravans). This is also true of the TV booster, which we could not use, due to the length from the booster on the bollard. The club needs to provide more bollards, especially as TV reception is extremely poor on this site.
Fortunately we have our own Wi-fi hub built in so could when necessary stream programmes on 3Net or Sky Hotspot from our phones. But don't really on this facility if you do not have your own in-built Wi-fi or hotspot facility.
Some excellent pubs around, and it is worth the short drive to Cracoe to the pub in the village, which is not only dog friendly but on a Sunday brings your dog a real treat of large pieces of beef. My beef was also huge, delicious and well presented.
Worth a visit also to the Blue Bell in Kettlewell with a very friendly set of staff and good "local" beer.
Shame that the pub at Kilnsey is now closed, as the walk over from the site is really good, from past experience, and a welcomed break for a drink/bite to eat, before the return over the tops to the site.
Grassington always very busy, with some parking difficulty and especially since Covid-19 and social distancing using the pubs in the village for eating is not as pleasurable as in the past. The pub at Linton does not serve food now on several lunchtimes in the week, which is a lovely walk from the site, but the bar is still open.
