I know, I don't want much do I! 

We are looking at going away for 8 nights in August.  We have just had a very windy weekend in York and to be honest the wind would spoil a longer break for me and it seems every time I dare to mention the word "tent" a hurricane starts to brew!  We are booked in at Marfit Head Farm, but having gone for a drive up there on Sunday it didn't look particularly sheltered.  I am in two minds what to do as the reviews are fantastic for the site. 

So, we are looking to see if there are any alternatives.  A sheltered site, preferably cheap, and I mean really cheap, with EHU.  The good news is we are quite flexible about location, I would say within 2 hours drive of Huddersfield, so North Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire....

Can anybody help?

Hi

Thanks everyone, some lovely suggestions there. 

Thanks for the suggestion Sam, We have booked at Carr House Farm as although it still appears to be open to the elements for tents, I can't see it will be worse than up in the hills!  And at only £10 per night with EHU it certainly ticks the cheap box.  Although the reviews are mixed the downsides seem to be the facilities, but we take our own toilet anyway, so there is only the shower, and we will just wait until less busy times, we usually do anyway. 

Foxhill is a lovely site.  We have stayed there before and had a lovely time.  I think the problem this time was more the direction of the wind,  it was hitting our tent head on and we had no escape really.  Not the site's fault at all, Karl was saying that other sites nearer the coast had had to close because of the wind, even for caravans. 

Thanks everyone
