Date of Visit: May 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Librasam 20 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for the Royal wedding / May Day bank holiday weekend and found it a pleasant friendly site, which improved as it became quieter.

The owners and in particular the wardens were very helpful and friendly and despite a mix-up over our booking, quickly resolved the problem without fuss and accommodated our booking.

The facilities are ideal for kids and our 9 year old made loads of friends at the play area and family room with table tennis, sofa's and television.

The office/shop is licensed and also sells homemade cakes. There are three male and female toilet / showers, as well as a disabled toilet / shower, again the cleanliness of these improved as the site became less busy. Nothing against the wardens, just a difficult task to keep up with. As stated previously there isn't a mop bucket handy and this would probably help to clean up after yourself.

We found the tent field perhaps more spacious than the caravan field; which was quite compact with units around the edge and in the centre. There is a Costcutter in Dunnington village and there is a Co-op in Stamford Bridge, although York has all the big supermarkets on the outer ring road at Monks Cross and Clifton Moor shopping centres.

 We stayed at this site for 3 nights and found it an ideal base for York and the surrounding areas. We visited the Yorkshire Wildlife park and Rail museum and both were easily accessible.

The site was great with good facilities which were well maintained and regularly cleaned. The facilities and play area are a short walk from the tent field but on the positive this meant you were away from the noise of the play area.

There were 3 showers in the ladies and 2 in the mens, each costing 20p for 5 minutes. We never had to queue for these but I would imagine they might get busy in the early morning.

The tent field was large with good sized pitches and plenty room for children to play in.

The local village has a good pub, Crosskeys, which was recommended by the owner and served home cooked food with 2 courses for 2 people for only £12.50.

When we arrived we had the tent field to ourselves but this became busier over the bank holiday with a few of the tents a little noisy at night.

Previous reviews mentioned road and animal noises but to be honest these weren't really an issue and didn't impact on our sleep, even when a hedgehog came for a night time visit just outside the tent!

All in all I would recommend this site, especially for families.

 Just returned from a weekend on this site with 2 kids and 4 adults all told and I have to say we had a great weekend,

Site clean and friendly,nice play area for kids, clean toilet and shower facilities, easy to find and I would well recommend trying this site.

We visited the windmill pub which was rather expensive for beer and if we had turned right at end of lane and gone into D
Dunnington the cross keys pub was supposed to be a lot cheaper but we know this now for our next visit.

The people who run Ashfield were very friendly and showed us everything we needed to know, and everyone who was on the site at the same time as us was chatty and friendly too.

 My husband and I have just returned from a very enjoyable 4-day stay at this campsite. The tent field is quite small but has large pitches and there is plenty of space for ballgames.

The toilet/shower block is a short walk from the site but the facilities are clean and well-maintained and, even though we were there on the bank holiday weekend and the site was full, we never had to queue for the toilet or shower!

The dishwashing room contains 3 sinks,is undercover and is situated opposite the playground, which is quite handy for parents to keep an eye on the kids.

There is a nice pub,The Windmill, about 10 min walk, which serves good food but for an exceptional meal The Cross Keys in Dunnington village is the place to go.The village is stunning.There are lots of places to visit in the area- York, Ripon, Eden Camp.

We will definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.

 Just returned from our stay at Ashfield and I was very impressed. The whole site was very clean and well maintained. The facilities were spot on.

Waking up in a morning to the sound of a nearby Cockerel was pleasant and unique to me.

The site managers are a great couple and the Owners came over for a chat too, which was a nice touch. The location was perfect for what we needed, mountain biking in Dalby and partying in York.

I liked it soo much I have booked again and taking 1st time campers in August, the pitches are also huge so I shall be breaking out the big tent. I will be able to review the child friendliness then too

 Referring to the comments by Debbie36, below:-

We had an unexplained problem in the ladies facilities in early June. This was resolved with a large dose of Domestos or three! No other post complains of the same problem, so we hope you can see that this is not the norm.

As you comment we use quality Triple Velvet toilet paper, and would like to think you understand we don't try to save pennies on having no air fresheners - we do have them, they were just overpowered.

We will address comments about a mop, and money for showers, and aim to expand facilities in our closed season.

Lights in the tent field are an issue with planning, which we have little control over.

We have asked our neighbour to lock his cockerel in a dark hut until a more reasonable time.

We're sorry that you had a less than perfect stay and hope this does not affect you visiting again.

If any visitor makes us aware of problems at the time of their visit we aim to resolve them as soon as possible.

 Just returned from our first camping trip ever at this excellent site. We picked it from the reviews and it lived up to our expectations completely. We were greeted by a very jolly chap who showed us around the facilities (exactly as described) and to our pitch.

We were in the tent field and both this and the neighbouring caravan field were comfortably busy due to it being half term. It is a perfect site for a family with two young children (6 and 3) as there is a play area (conveniently situated by the washing up room) and the centre of both the camping and caravan field was left free for games. Our children had the time of their lives playing with the other children and didn't want to come home.

We would have asked if we could stay another night if Daddy hadn't managed to break his foot 2 days before our visit and was finding it a bit hard-going in a cast!

Loads to do in the area (Yorkshire Air Museum super)and all you need in the village 2 mins drive away (club, general store, pub, butchers etc). Excellent meal in the Windmill Inn on the main road too. Highly recommended and will definitely return.

 Generally a lovely site, very close to York. We were in the tent field and had ehu. The field was great, lots of room to pitch and room in the middle for the children to play. It was a fair walk to the toilet in the night and there was no lighting which as a woman I found a bit daunting.

The only thing I can fault this site on is the toilets and the showers. There were only 3 toilets and 3 showers which sometimes meant you had to wait. The loo roll was very good quality, none of that cheap stuff here! The toilets didn't smell very nice and could have done with some air fresheners. You had to pay 20p for the showers for 5 mins which I don't mind but I didn't like having to get undressed and then lean out of the door to put your money in. Also when I had finished I didn't like not being able to mop the shower out or get rid of the soap suds as there was no way of getting any water to do this.

A free microwave to use was a great idea. The kids loved the play area and the games room. The homemade cakes in the shop were delicious and the shop prices were very reasonable.

We used the park and ride into york which was great £2.30 return per adult with the kids travelling free.

If you are in the tent field, you might find some earplugs useful as you can hear all the animal noises from the adjoining field which are lovely to hear during the day/evening but at 3am when the cockerel crows and then the geese start it can be quite disturbing.

We will be returning to this site mainly due to the location for york and the fact it only took us 40 minutes from home. £20.50 per night with ehu for 2 adults and 2 children during the school hols was very good value for money.

 Site very clean and tidy, as were the toilet and shower blocks.Games room open with a table tennis table and TV.

Small shop come office which is only open two or three times through out the day. Weather was great which helped, pitches were flat and most had EHU. It is only a small site, though would definitely come back again.

Two pubs in village approx 15 mins walk away and one on the main road about 10 mins walk away.Garage five min walk away for papers.

Park and ride into York 5 mins away, which was great. Site is near the main road, which you only hear at night time, though didn't bother us.

Reviewer: Mrmotorx 89 reviews from this member

 Site location is great only 5 min from the A64.

We arrived late Friday night in the dark but was warmly greeted on site by the wardens who promptly showed us to our pitch. Our pitch was a great and a great size too plenty of room for our caravan awning and car.Fresh water was within 20 yards. Office and all other amenities was a very short walk across the field.

Once settled on site there was a very nice Chinese in the next village of Stamford bridge, plus a chip shop and pizza shop only 3.5 mile away.

Plenty to do my young son loved riding his bike around plus there is a great play area, and our 17 year old loved the free internet access.

The only bad point was there was no heating in the toilet block, usually this would not be a problem but for the time of year we felt it would benefit from a little warmth especially at night-time.

All said a very nice pleasant site, one which we will be visiting again.

P.S. The east coast was only 45 mins drive away.
