What a little gem this site is, quiet and not too big, spotless facilities, roomy pitches and plenty of walks and places to visit within the vicinity. The pub is welcoming and serves great home cooked food and serves cask ales too, we were also allowed to take our dog in to the pub which was great. The pitches are nice and level which is great for tents and are all numbered and well-spaced out. The only thing we found although a minute detail was the lack of a fridge/freezer for our freezer packs however the proprietor was happy to refreeze them for us in her freezer. Will definitely return in the future

Just returned from a 3 night stay at this site, the reviews were excellent but we picked this as we had friends staying locally. The site was in a real 'get away from it all' location. However, this also means no shops for 4 miles (pickering). Access is very tight down the side of the pub. I had to guide the husband through as there were various unnecessary hazards along the lane (that would be better removed given that it is the only access).

The shower block consists of 2 loos and 2 showers (unisex) and whilst free, they were the push button type which aren't ideal with young children. Also, if someone was in the other shower, the water stopped as 'they' pressed the button. 2 out of 3 nights we ended up washing in the sink. The block was also freezing. There were heated towel rails which were not on. If we had paid £15 per night I wouldn't have been disappointed but at £24 per night, I have to say we were.

Having a pub in front of the site was lovely, however even on a bank holiday weekend this didn't open until 6. Our overall impression was overpriced and not properly thought out or managed. We never saw any member of staff go beyond the bar of the pub during our stay.

Just spent last night there Sat29/9/12 what an excellent little site, will definitely be back for longer next time, lovley pub serving excellent

Beers & very dog friendly.

Lots of walks straight from site including a view

From the top of valley over moors and steam train track below overlooking Leversham station.

Didn't use on site facilities but was told they were very good.

Nice little village but no shops so come prepared or drive 4 miles back to Pickering.

Our second visit this year, and I'll just repeat what I said before because it doesn't come better than this glorious pub site. Flat grassy site with 6 electric hookups. Arrived late and was pointed to pitch no 1, a large pitch. Showers and toilets immaculate, modern and hot water just like last time. Owned by the pub which serves fantastic meals including Sunday carvery. We had home made steak pie (twice) big portions at sensible prices and smaller portions at low prices for those without a big appetite. Will be visiting time and time again. Nearby the North Yorks Moors Railway and the interesting town of Pickering within easy reach, also good for York and North Yorkshire coast.

The Wife and I stayed on the 2 3 and 4 September and to be honest in a good way I regret giving this review because I don't want too many people to find this Gem of a site in case it is full the next time I want to use it. It must be one of the best sites I have ever stayed on. The toilets and showers although unisex were kept immaculate and the showers weren't the usual drip drip type, but a good flow of water.

The pitches are large and the grass is kept very short in fact the landlord was out 2 of the 3 days we stayed there cutting the grass. Great food and drink in the pub and a very friendly Landlord.

There are no shops at all in the village so get stocked up before you arrive or be prepared to drive into Pickering for the nearest shops. Cannot say anything about being child friendly as it was only me and the wife and 2 dogs. There are some very good walks from the site with great views over the Moors, and not forgetting the NYMR.

Small friendly site. Lots of dog walks accessible from site. Showers were hot and clean. Pub had good food and if you booked in advance you could take your dog in with you.

Only a few electric hook ups in a well sheltered area. Lower field for tents and caravans not needing hook ups. Got very busy on the saturday, which was the day we left.

The quiet time between 10pm and 6 am was adhered to, so cannot complain about the neighbours all being up and talking noisily in their tent at one minute past 6am!
