Liked: Quiet little site. Really peaceful. Nice for walks. Deer about half a mile away roaming free. Decent pub in weldrake about 2miles away. And a couple more about 4miles. Takeaway will deliver to site. Trip to York Center only £2 on the bus very easy to do. The host Lesley was very nice and helpful.
Disliked: Local pub has closed which is a shame as it was very close to site but don’t let that put you off staying here

Liked: Quiet, friendly host, good walks from the site, and nature reserve practically next door. Reasonable weekday and Saturday bus service into York.
Disliked: It was a pity that the village pub was shut (but nothing host could do about that), and that no buses into York on a Sunday. Not a dislike, but may need a longer hose to connect to water tap.
