The facilities were great and my daughter loved the farm animals on site. The shop had everything you might have forgotten to pack and the onsite security was great. The pods were spotless and faultless. The night toilet was quite a walk away, eslecially in the dark/rain but aside from that everything was perfect and just what we needed! Thankyou!

We, along with another family, stayed in the pods at Alders for one night following a Race for Life Pretty Muddy event in York and we all had a fantastic stay! Wished we could’ve stayed longer! The staff were lovely and very helpful. Had a bit of an issue with our pod... We, along with another family, stayed in the pods at Alders for one night following a Race for Life Pretty Muddy event in York and we all had a fantastic stay! Wished we could’ve stayed longer! The staff were lovely and very helpful. Had a bit of an issue with our pod key and they sorted it out immediately and moved us to another pod. The pods are fantastic, just drive up, chuck your air bed and other stuff in and you’re ready to relax. Not sure I can go back to a tent after staying in one! The shower facilities at Alders are fabulous, like individual bathrooms with large shower, toilet and sink, great when you’ve got yourself and kids to get showered and changed. Lovely and warm too, just what was needed after our Pretty Muddy run! The area around the pods was perfect for playing with the kids, and the under cover barbecue area is a great addition to the area, particularly good for us as we only took the bare minimum of camping equipment as we only stayed one night. We ordered a takeaway from one of the local Indian restaurants and both families sat around the picnic benches enjoying our very tasty Indian feast! Lovely! We didn’t get chance to have a good look around the whole site and surrounding area but I believe there are some lovely walks. I don’t know if there is a children’s play area but that could be a nice addition although we took a few games and our sons bike and he was quite happy with that. It’s great that the cricket pitch is so close and you can go have a cheeky half in the clubhouse and take the kids with you! We will definitely be back! In fact I’ve already sent messages to all our other friends to kick start organising a group family weekend next year! Thanks to you all at Alder :)

Many thanks for your kind review. It sounded like a great event to be involved in. Please do come back, that would be lovely. I should have mentioned that there are some great children's play facilities in the village so if you do visit again, make sure to ask us... Many thanks for your kind review.

From the first arrival at the site, we were assured or a very friendly and assuring welcome. This was the same throughout our stay. Site was great with fantastic and well maintained facilities truly recommended to anyone.

Fantastic friendly welcome and taken to our accommodation, which was very neat and tidy. we got a visit to make sure we were okay and toilets explain during the night. Very easy booking in and out and we hope to visit again and stay longer next time.. Many thanks to...

The Alders is clean & the hosts are a lovely couple. I would recommend them to my friends & family

Stayed overnight with children as first time visitor, specifically to see NRM York. Booked pod (for first time) to save hassle of towing and setting up trailer tent for just one night. Very pleased with site: good value, clean and attractive, easy access from motorway,... Stayed overnight with children as first time visitor, specifically to see NRM York. Booked pod (for first time) to save hassle of towing and setting up trailer tent for just one night. Very pleased with site: good value, clean and attractive, easy access from motorway, ideally located for York with park and ride service. Pod essentially unfurnished, but that suited our needs better. With privacy of pods now convinced they're better and cheaper alternative to B&B. Rang site before trip regarding facilities and travel to city centre, staff very helpful with information. Also because visiting at end of season, they said they could be flexible about check in /departure times. Can't comment on children's facilities as didn't use them, and didn't stay long enough to see local village. Will definitely return, either booking pod or with trailer tent. Would strongly recommend.

The site was stunning, the setting of the site was stunning, the staff were super helpful, really lovely weekend!!! We will certainly be booking to come back to stay as soon as the sun comes back out!

Very enjoyable weekend. Excellent facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff

Brilliant experience, the park was very spacious, quiet and clean. The POD was brilliant for me and my family and will definately return. Thank you very much
