Date of Visit: July 2014 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Monty the bongo 49 reviews from this member

 Don't let the first impression of the touring field put you off. There are lots of tatty looking long term caravans pitched around the outside of the field, but look past this and you will see a well maintained, clean and tidy site. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The cinder path footpath is a nice walk to Whitby and Robin Hood bay, both 3 miles from the site. The only thing that surprised me, when I booked the pitch I paid for a hard standing with electric, when I arrived I was informed a you pay for the electric as you used it. Despite this would happily return.

 UGH! This place is really unkempt, dirty and untidy. There are lots of static caravans on site which are well maintained and tidy. The touring part is in some dire need of TLC. There are quite a few Permanent caravans on site - some of which were very old and untidy many of them had gardens and plant pots full of dead plants around them. The pitches are not spaced out very well and the grass and weeds are taking over the hard standings on all pitches. The hedges are not trimmed and are very overgrown. It all looks very unkempt. The toilets and showers were OK but the showers were lukewarm the sink taps wouldn't stay on (push button type) and the hand dryers didn't work in the gents or the ladies. The lady who booked me in was more interested in going outside for a cigarette than in me. Electricity is not included in the price, you must buy prepaid cards to top up the hook up. There were no views at all- you were looking in next doors windows as everyone was so close together. We did not go into the on site bar so cannot comment on that. We walked over the road to the Hare & Hounds - Lovely meal and reasonably priced. The only redeeming feature of the site was its location, but we will definitely not be returning.

 Arrived Monday the site was lovely an clean, the men most helpful siting you on pitch. Not far from supermarket for provisions, read on reviews that there site shop for basics, not really true. Every one use supermarket. I loved this site quiet good dog walking area we all had a ball. Only one thing the toilets an showers could have done with a good clean, old cobwebs an spiders. Playground for kids good for if grandchildren comes. Pub was bit expensive so only went one night. We stayed 3 nights £66 then electric on top site fees bit high. But did enjoy, even the dog she usually stresses but she was fine will return !

 We stayed here for a short weekend as a party of 27, our annual 'Jamboree' which until recently has been held in Northumberland. I liked this site a lot and couldn't fault anything. The facilities were good and clean and unusually a good handful of toilets in the ladies block rather than the usual two or three! Great playing field for the children and play park. The pub was friendly and reasonably priced. The nice chap behind the bar happily put the World Cup on for us in the conservatory. I didn't try the food but some of our party had an evening meal and a breakfast and seemed content. The staff are very friendly and provided us with telephone numbers for a chippy that delivered for our annual fish and chip Friday night supper.

I would return here as it's so close to Whitby and there's lots to do near by, I will be petitioning for York House over our usual site for next year's Jamboree!

 Well what can I say about York House Caravan park. Errrrmmmm fantastic as usual, been to this site 2 or 3 times now can't fault it, friendly, good clean facilities loads of hot water for showering and in the pan wash area, dog friendly, large field to walk dogs and clean, cheap beer at the hotel bar & food ok. Fantastic views to whitby & easy access to robin hoods bay and surrounding towns.

The tent pitches are marked out so you know exactly where you are supposed to be, we took some camping virgins with there children with us and they seemed to love the area and camping experience the weather helped it was red hot. Maybe play area could do with more swings.

Go there.

 Stayed here for 5 nights, good site and well maintained, just 4 miles to Whitby and 2 miles to Robins Hood Bay. Toilets and showers clean and showers were free and always plenty hot water. There is a pub on the site selling meals which were very well priced and tasty. The staff are very friendly and spot on, and were there to help getting caravan on to our pitch. You pay for your electric by top up cards which are £1 each, we stayed 4 nights and cost us £4. Pitches are large and well spaced. If we tour in this area again we would go back no problem. 


Date of Visit: August 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Shericur 3 reviews from this member

 We visited this site for the first time with our friends and dogs in July 2013 and enjoyed it so much we returned in August.

We have just booked again to go at the end of May and I have to say it is one of my favourite sites. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The facilities are VERY good. There is an on site bar selling 'pub grub'. You aren't far from a large Sainsburys and in easy reach of Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay.

The tent pitches are in three different areas. The first being called The 'Pony Paddock', this area is for large tents with EHU and are very close to the showers and toilets. Then there are the 'tiers', where maybe 5 or 6 tents share a tier and they are very sheltered. They are further from the toilets but have a portable loo at the end of each tier. The last area is the top field (only open in peak times) which is the furthest away from the facilities but again has a portable loo BUT no EHU.

This is a very well kept site and I would recommend it for people of all ages, for children and for dogs!

Cant wait to return!

Reviewer: Bazz00 2 reviews from this member

 Recently visited this site for a 3 night stay, park is set in lovely countryside and a short distant from whitby town centre, all staff where very friendly and informative.

All facilities were clean and well maintained, pitch sizes were good and priced fairly, and all within reasonable distance from toilets and water.

Site has a nice play park for the kids and a small games room that includes a pool table, table tennis and video games, on site bar and restaurant.

All in all a lovely site and will definitely be visiting again

Reviewer: Donnyvan1 1 review from this member

 The site is located in a beautiful area with views across to Whitby. The staff are very friendly and the grassed areas well maintained.

The pitches are slightly cramped preventing us from erecting the bedroom extension to our awning. The entire site appears to be on a slight slope but nothing excessive.

We consider that the fees were too high and did not reflect the standard of the facilities offered which we found to be in need of care and attention.

We left just as the schools were breaking up so I imagine our visit was not at the busiest time. The one toilet/shower block struggled to cope at the rush hour in the morning. The gents block had maintenance issues, for example some of the toilet door locks failed to operate properly and on more than one occasion during our short visit embarrassment was caused when doors were opened on occupied cubicles.

The showers would have been fine, being the push button type but their cleanliness was below standard. The white tiled walls were in dire need of cleaning. All this could be easily rectified with a proper cleaning regime.

We found fellow guests to be largely amiable although one party did deem it ok to play loud music late into the night preventing sleep. Unfortunately this went unchecked by the staff but eventually stopped of its own accord.

We paid £24 per night which included the awning. It did not however include electricity. For this we had to purchase prepayment cards. We used only our refrigerator and a few lights and the bill for our 10 day stay came to £7.

Despite the few issues we did have a nice break, helped along by wonderful weather.
