Flaxton Meadows Reviews

Campsite paradise

What a brilliant find. It was the friendliest campsite we've stayed in for a long time. Gavin was the perfect host, from giving us a warm welcome, to trumpeting the opening of the bar and being our barman for the evening. Facilities were excellent and pristine and our dog was made very welcome too. As nature lovers, being by an SSSI was an added bonus.

Fabulous site

Absolutely fantastic. Spotlessly clean site. Dog friendly with a lovely dog walk. Lovely bar, local takeaway that delivers to reception. Fabulous, clean toilets and showers. I wish we had booked for longer. We will definitely be back.

A quiet and relaxing stay

A really nice and quite place to stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The on-site bar has excellent prices and the facilities are nice and clean. Adults only, so it's very quiet. Will definitely be back.

Excellent

This is the best and cleanest site we have stayed at. The site is beautiful, clean and tidy. The showers and toilets were spotless and there were hot showers. The staff are all friendly and helpful but we have to say a special thanks to Gavin who couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely be returning. Thankyou!

Lovely site, lovely location

We had a lovely stay at Flaxton Meadows. The weather was quite kind to us and the site is very carefully planned to ensure a happy stay. The shower room is great, lovely and modern but for safety's sake some grab rails are essential and also a small folding seat is desirable. Currently, there is nothing whatsoever to hold on to and the floor when covered with soapy water can be slippery. Otherwise a great site with helpful friendly staff.

Site's response

Thank you Janice for your kind review and feedback. Please note that we do have a separate shower room, next to the family bathroom, which is equipped with safety handrails and a seat if needed. We hope we can welcome you back to Flaxton Meadows again very soon.

Fabulous site

We had a great stay. The showers and toilets were excellent. Free hairdryer. The staff were helpful and friendly and the bonus was the bar, where we were able to socialize with fellow campers in a great atmosphere. All clean and obviously a lot of investment has been made in the site. Would definitely return and most of the people we spoke to were return campers.

First rate campsite ideally located to explore York

1st time we've been to York since high school and only 2nd time camping, but this site puts you at ease in minutes. Great welcome from Gavin upon arrival and we got to our pitch very easily and quickly. Plenty of room for our trailer tent, gazebo and car. Serviced with electricity and fresh running water. We chose a hardstanding pitch but there are grass pitches too. Come prepared with good pegs suitable for a hard pitch. The facilities are 1st class with spotless loos and showers with underfloor heating. Laundry and washing up areas and even somewhere to rinse your dog if needed!! There's a bar with a good choice of draft beer and a good choice of wines and spirits etc. Keen prices too at £4 a pint and usual crisps and snacks. There's a local pizza place that will deliver to the site if you like, or you can drive out to a selection of local restaurants and fast food outlets. We went to York and used the local park and ride service and found this very handy, rather than battling through the traffic. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable 4 night stay and would definitely return. Very easy to get to too with no narrow roads 👍👍

Facilities at Flaxton Meadows

Site managers were excellent, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The best toilet and shower block you will see on any site, with the added bonus of a bar on site for an evening drink. Would recommend this site to anyone.

A peaceful site with plenty to offer

A perfect stay. From booking our stay to arrival, we were kept up to date with all information and any queries answered promptly, even called on the day to advise that there may be a delay with us getting on site. We were met upon arrival by Martyn and Elaine, what a great couple! They showed us to our pitch ensuring we were acquainted with location of pitch services and the surrounding facilities. Throughout our stay they always met you with a smile and when we enquired about extending our stay by one more day it was sorted within 5 minutes. The site was spotless with all facilities top notch, the bar was a bonus and a welcome retreat in the evening for those that wished to take advantage of it. We will definitely be back in the near future and would recommend this peaceful and tranquil site knowing that you are not far away from many sights and attractions.

Cracking site

Fantastic new site. Well laid out, lovely little bar and beer garden, with dog walk route. The showers and toilets are very nice and the warmest with underfloor heating, there is no shivering showers. Wash and dryer payg and dog wash. New reception being built so may be a bit noisy for the next few months. Can't wait for my next visit.

Thank you for your great review, Steve. It does mean a lot to know you enjoyed your stay with us and the facilities. We are looking forward to your next visit.

Anniversary break

Lovely and well presented site, facilities were first class :-) A well stocked bar onsite with a very nice Black Sheep Ale on draught and lovely hosts. Large hard standing fully serviced pitches - cant fault anything (even a 32 amp EHU!) Great value for money.

Site's response

Thank you for your lovely review Garri, it does mean a lot to receive. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and the Black Sheep Ale. We hope you will be able to visit again soon.

It was okay

Never read that it is next door to an army base so our first night there, all we seemed to hear was the sounds of the base. Also this was advertised as adults only, which we always prefer, and there were kids up and about, so yes, the bar and toilet block are immaculate, but when I book adults only, that's what I expect.

Site's response

Thank you for your review Gary. Please note the site is not next to an army base, but a firing range which is located 5 miles away. The firing stops at 7PM and does not continue through the night. In terms of children present on site, for clarity, the motorhome and caravan pitches are adults only and some of our log cabins allow family bookings. Thank you for your comments regarding our immaculate bar and toilet block, we do pride ourselves with our immaculate facilities. Reverend Jon Charters-Reid

Excellent

Definitely friendly staff, very quiet and clean lovely campsite.Can recommend.

Lovely site

Definitely recommend. Excellent camping facilities and extremely clean. Will return. In easy reach of York park and ride too. The touring pitch was stone, which was fine, and water on pitch. But we didn't put the awning up as we don't like awning on stone, especially pegging down into the stone, but that's a personal preference. But otherwise a lovely touring park.
