Just wanted to thank Mark at The Cud Life for such a warm and friendly welcome ๐ letting us hand feed the chickens was amazing ๐ really peaceful campsite, beautiful views, really clean facilities. Lots of extra added touches like hairdryer, walking routes printed out, even books, and GHD straighteners make your stay even more perfect ๐๐ปlocation is perfect for getting to Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripley. Bus stop about 10 minutes away. Looking forward to visiting in the summer and exploring more of the surrounding area. See u soon, luv Sarah, Nikki and Marlo ๐พ
We stayed here for the first time this weekend. We was warmly welcomed by Rachael , the site is great, well spaced pitches and all overlooking open fields. The facilities are good, clean and a great cafe onsite!. It's perfectly placed between Harrogate and Ripon. There are lots of information about walks etc in the area. We will definitely be back next year ( when its warmer weather hopefully!) For longer than a weekend. Thanks again!
We had a lovely 2 night stay here on our way back from Scotland and really wish we had stayed longer! The warm welcome and lovely special touches made us feel instantly comfortable - Rachel and Matt are friendly and approachable hosts, their two boys are also very polite and helpful. We stayed in Buttercup Byre, which has all the homely comforts you need and perfect for a relaxing holiday. It had plenty of room for 4 (plus the dog!) and as it only has a few small steps it was great for my dad who has mobility issues. The cottage is absolutely spotless, as is all the grounds. We really enjoyed our time here and would stay again.
Camping in a campervan. Small campsite, very clean toilets and showers. Close to Harrogate, 30 minutes walk and a bus journey from ripon or train journey to York, Leeds and Knaresborough. Owner/ campsite warden very friendly and helpful. Cafe on site. Toilets/ showers ( free) very clean. Hairdryer and straighteners supplied for free use. Would definitely return
The cud life is a lovely peaceful site within easy reach of Harrogate. The site is well kept with good general cleanliness throughout. The manager is a friendly approachable guy and will answer any questions that he can. There is a lovely one mile walk to the know pub where good food and ales can be found. There is a handy cafe on site and a regular bus route at the end of the drive that will take you into Harrogate, Leeds or Ripon at regular intervals. Definitely worth a visit here.
