All very good.Friendly helpful staff.Cafe very good.Blue Bell excellent.Only slight negative - not very user friendly camper van waste water site.

This was my third time staying in the pods with my boys and the first time I brought friends and their kids. We all absolutely love The Alders. The pod area is a beautiful, quiet space and we were made to feel so welcome by the owners. My friends (frequent campers) couldnt believe how great the toilets and showers were, always so clean. We didn’t leave the campsite as we BBQ’d both nights and brought lots of activities for the kids to do.

We absolutely love Alders . Super friendly , perfect setting … room to pitch and play Love that everyone isn’t crammed inFriendly staff always welcoming Supper little cafe on site, best homemade sausage rolls and cake Love that there is no play park or pub Enjoy watching the cricket at a weekend Clean toilets and showers , plenty of hot water Wouldn’t change a thing about it

Every aspect of The Alders was superb.Friendly,attentive and helpful staff.Excellent,clean facilities.Great cafe.Can't wait to return.

It was absolutely amazing we had one of the larger pods, the facilities were great. Was me my partner and 2 children. But we are looking to come back just us adults

We would certainly go again to stay but if there was anything we found as a bit of a negative it was only having 10amp electric box and one of the shower blocks was in definite need of some refurbishment and possibly more toilet & shower facilities . Also may I suggest there be some floor cleaner in mop & bucket in the showers so it’s possible to mop the floor properly. Also maybe a place to put clothes & towel when showering. Just things that would have enhanced our holiday as we struggled to get in the showers when we wanted to unless we got up at the crack of dawn or had one late at night. As I say just things that we noticed that would have improved our stay but it wouldn’t stop us returning as it is a lovely sight and grounds were kept well maintained.

The pod was excellent value and the facilities were first rate. The only amenity missing was a fridge to keep milk and other perishables in. Perhaps one could be added to the laundry area? The site overall was very quiet from early evening. It seemed that many caravan campers were long-term residents. Unfortunately, I was unlucky that people in the pod next to mine used it as a party destination. People came from other parts of the camp and sat out drinking and speaking at full volume until after 11pm. As a lone traveller I didn't feel able to tackle this myself - sometimes people react negatively. I think someone going round to check noise levels in the evening would show that site owners are committed to maintaining a quiet environment for all.

Clean and well maintained site. Staff were friendly and helpful. Gorgeous coffee shop at front of site. Will be back.

Beautiful site with great facilities. We enjoyed watching the cricket on Saturday and the bar staff were super friendly at the club house. Lovely little village and bus into York perfect. Will definitely be back if we're ever in the area again.

I couldn’t fault the site, pitches were huge, staff very friendly and welcoming and we liked the fact that we were guided to our pitch, instead of having to follow instructions. The only reason we won’t return is that being in a Motorhome we tend to rely on public transport once we have set up. There was only one bus every two hours to either York or Thirsk, which was a bit limiting.
