 Little gem of a site, lovely walled garden Pitches on grass, electricity, water and Elsan point.

Fabulous beer garden behind the Pub. Gorgeous food and lovely!

Friendly hard working Hosts!

No tents, motorhomes, camper vans and caravans - ground might get a bit soft in the wetter months.

Highly recommended otherwise!

 We loved staying here. The pub food was fantastic and being able to walk straight to the large nature reserve was heaven!

The owner of the pub and her daughter were really friendly and helpful for local wildlife knowledge.

 This is a lovely quiet little site.

Good points: Great pub, and great food. Lovely people. Quiet site.

Not so Good points: truly basic. No facilities other than electric point. Fine if your in caravan but not so good for a tent. And Long grass.

It's a great spot to stop over on your way somewhere but probably not somewhere you would pitch for a week.

I think it's a work in progress as there was a huge pile of small gravel in the car-park and some along the path down. Would be an excellent little place if they could just create some basic facilities, like a toilet, and an Elsan point and maybe keep the grass cut?

We will definitely go again, (and see if anything improves?)

Reviewer: Redsue 9 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 2 nights (weekend). The pub is fantastic, food very very good and the service was excellent. Staff are very friendly. The price is reasonable, however the facilities are very basic. The grass field is very boggy on one side but this was the only side we could use as the other side seems to be taken up by permanent couple of plots. Also the grass was very long, as were the nettles around the electric boxes. I know these things grow quick, but I had booked a couple of weeks in advance so really it should have been cut back around the electric boxes so they could be easily used. There was plenty of talk in the pub about the Tour de France coming next year and the visit of plenty of visitors. I do think they need to smarten the field up a little bit first. Having said that, I did enjoy our visit to the pub, just wish the field was slightly more looked after.

 This nice little site is open all year around, we stayed for 2 nights in late February, the weather was good at first, we did a bit of walking and the beer and food in the pub was first class.

However –

We are in the camping and caravan club and regularly go on rallies and to be honest we have stayed on better fields!

On the first night we witnessed a motorhome being towed IN by a local with a big 4 X 4, and the following night another motorhome had to be pulled out by the local farmer on his tractor. The track into the site is just a mud track therefore if it’s wet its just as bad trying to get into the site as getting back out.

It took us ¾ hour to get out on the Sunday morning (it was raining) and we have a 4 x 4!

 As has been previously stated this site really is a hidden gem. Set in the walled garden at the back of the pub, no amenities at all apart from electric hook up so you need to be self sufficient with relation to sanitation etc

Owners very friendly and helpful, good location for exploring surrounding area with excellent walks from the site around the local nature reserve

Good selection of real ales in the pub which has a very welcoming atmosphere with excellent food 


Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Nikinoo 1 review from this member

 This is a little village, with a very nice little country pub. Nice beer garden to the front and the pub does really nice food.

The back garden is the camping ground, a square walled field with the very back made into an allotment patch for the villagers I think. There were a few caravans staying there who looked long term but seemed friendly and nice.

We were staying in a tent and were told upon booking that there were no facilities; however we could use the pub toilets. This was fine for us as we were only staying one night but didn't realise that when the pub was shut we had nowhere to go to use the loo. Whilst we were there the pub was open 12noon-3pm and 5pm-11pm, not good when you wake first thing in the morning desperate for the toilet!

Nice site but I think charging us £10 for the night was a bit pricey!

 Stayed one night at The Royal Oak on our way to North Yorkshire for a long weekend. Good flat walled field with a central access track from the pub's rear carpark.

No facilities apart from the pub toilets. Plenty of electric hook ups along the sides of field. Large wooden kids' climbing frame at the top of the field.

Well behaved children are welcome in the pub.

Very fine Black sheep bitter on the bar, and the food was excellent as well. I had a shrimp starter which was fantastic!

Will stop here again.

 Bit reluctant to review as this site is a little gem, and it would be a shame if it got spoiled. I want to keep it to myself!

The owners were extremely friendly, more than helpful. You can use the loos when the pub is open (very smart and clean) but you really need your own facilities. There's a nice play area, and the site is in a walled grassed area, very sheltered,a little suntrap. It was very reasonable as well. We had electric hookup.

The Royal Oak itself was a delight, with a few real ales, and the food was out of this world, they have 2 really good chefs. It was so nice we ate there twice! Booking recommended. The locals were extremely welcoming, one even gave us a lift into nearby Knaresborough.

An ideal stop-off to/from Scotland as its only about 3 miles from the busy A1, but the site, pub and village was a tranquil delight. Nearest shop probably Boroughbridge.
