Hello Vikki4996 and welcome.

We have been to Withernsea for the "Half Day" or so whilst visiting Hornsea. I can't comment on Withernsea sands but Hornsea aint bad for stuff to interest the kids etc.

Looks like nothing has changed on the bridge prices since Tania last went over

Hi  All

We have just come back from Withernsea Sands Park Resorts site.  We spent a week there in our tourer - me, my other half and three children - ages 13, 7 and 5.  I have to say that it was the most boring holiday ever.  We had been to Ty Mawr Park Resorts site in N Wales a few weeks before and it was all hustle and bustle - the kids loved it.  Thinking we would like to visit another Park Resorts site, we chose Withernsea Sands.  The site is very small.  The toilet and shower block made me baulk every time I went in (dirty, ancient, lights on timer, showers out of order, etc.)  The ground was extremely bumpy and even sleeping in the awning on an air bed was really uncomfortable.  There is a park area but it has no swings or slides - just a few climbing frame type of things.  The swimming pool is just slightly bigger than our bath at home - with no slides or anything - just a small square really!  On-site there is a laundry, shop (not much stock and quite expensive) and the clubhouse which has a small arcade and the club, which I thought was really funny because it was the smallest club I've ever seen - no dance floor - maximum capacity approx. 50 people and the entertainment was atrocious.  The bar at the club was very expensive - £3.50 for 2 small cups juice for the kids.  Withernsea itself is nice and quaint - a small town centre and a nice beach - but after 5pm everything shuts and everyone disappears and it becomes like a ghost town.  We had to travel everyday to keep entertained - Hornsea is about an hours drive through winding, narrow, single-track country lanes, which is fine if you have your wits about you -  Scarborough is roughly 2 hours drive, but to be honest I've never done so much driving in my life!  Oh, and the farmer on the neighbouring field has a regular spray of his crops with the ole fertiliser which has everyone checking their shoes, nappies, etc. until you realise where the stench is from.

Good luck - you will need it !!
