 Couldn't have asked for a better place to camp as newcomers. My party along with another consisting of the same number (people, dogs and cars) had a wonderful time at this beautifully kept, idyllic little hide away. Showers, toilets and cleaning facilities where spot on (obviously you can't control other users) Staff where really friendly and helpful. Plenty of attractions to be seen and something for all in the surrounding area. Will definitely be booking up to go again.

We stayed at this site for 3 days over bank holiday for the first time. The staff are friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome from the minute you arrive.
The check-in is straight forward and the staff will show you to your pitch and give you any assistance required. The reception is also a shop selling basic foods and extras like toys to keep the kids amused while you set up. You are given a code for barrier and facilities so you can come and go from site whenever you please during your stay.
The pitches are well maintained and the upper and lower terraces private and reasonably quiet, until early morning when the many birds begin their day and havoc commences between, wood pigeons, crows and hedgerow birds! We could hear the motorbikes travelling along the main road late at night but it was intermittent and depends on wind direction as to whether you hear it.
From the upper field there are stunning views towards Whitby and sheep on the fields behind which amused some of the smaller children. There are plenty of public footpaths nearby to have a stroll or you can walk to Robin Hoods Bay, though we found it easier to drive as it's over 2 miles away, saving our energy to explore the many footpaths down to the bay. There are buses from the main road which take you to Whitby, we did not use them as we have car and found adequate parking in Whitby on the harbour side near the Co-operative food store. There is also a Sainsbury's supermarket and petrol station on the main road going into Whitby which is useful if you have family and want to cook your own meals.
The hotel bar on site is worth a visit. We enjoyed a drink in the evening on the terrace. There is plenty of seating outside some of which is under cover. Plenty of people seemed to enjoy the food available though we didn't try meals on this visit.
The play park was popular with small children and teenagers, all seemed to be having a good time. There is room for ball games and kids to run around and let off steam.
Showers were hot and toilets were clean and would have been tidy if it wasn't for some inconsiderate visitors who felt it was ok to leave their make-up, toothpaste and hair all over the facilities.
We visited Staithes, Runswick Bay and Whitby and found plenty of walks, places to eat and quiet spots to enjoy the sunshine.
We are looking forward to booking another stay at York House and have already recommended it to friends visiting Whitby next month. It is good to know that customer service prevails at this site.

Just had 3 nights here. A nice well kept and tidy site 4 miles from whitby. Less than 10 mins. To bus stops for whitby or Scarborough directions. Lovely views. Clean and warm shower and toilet block with large roomy shower cubicles. Hot water in shower by push botton but not a problem. £10 per night for 2 adults. E. H. U. Was by card sold at site shop and for 3 nights and two full days, with heating on. It only cost about £9.
Not bad at all because it WAS cold weather. We got a good level pitch and others looked just as good. Friendly and helpful staff.
Just 1 point, we did see a dog running loose and there was dog dirt but this may have been the fault of an inconsiderate dog owner.

Fantastic site. There is something for everyone here, statics, seasonals, tourers, hardstandings and campers.
We booked the morning of our stay, we were met at reception by friendly faces who took details and directed us to the touring area we were able to choose any vacant pitch. Here we were met by a friendly gent who filled our water tank, directed us into our chosen pitch and even inserted the prepaid electric card, so great service all round. The electric cards are a great idea as we would be happy to pay £5 a night for hook up in winter, this worked out as £5 for stay which was two nights but 3 days as we arrived at 2 on the first night and didn't leave until 11 on the last day, we had the heating on all the time we were on site so great value.
The location of the site is fantastic close to Whitby & Robin Hoods Bay, great access to the coast and the moors via footpaths too.
The toilets & showers were warm and clean.
We didn't visit the hotel as we ran out of time but we will definitely do so when we visit again, the menu was displayed outside and looked extensive.
We will be recommending this site.

We really like this site and use it frequently. Its set nicely on a quiet hillside with great views of the Esk valley and equi-distance between the historic town of Whitby and beautiful Robin Hoods Bay. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff here, Good facilities with friendly family bar, kids games room, outside play area, dog friendly and best of all - perfectly placed for the Cinder path cycle way from Whitby to Scarborough (a little tough in stretches but more than makes up for it with the scenery)

Just had 4 good days at this site. Lady in reception was very helpful. We were met by what I guess was the site handy man who showed us to our pitch and helped us get our caravan into place.
The bar in the hotel was nice and tidy and reasonable prices, we did eat in the restaurant one night, food was good, however they had no soup for starters and the first 2 dishes the wife wanted they had not got either. I guess we'd caught them out as it was straight after the queens jubilee weekend.
Toilet block was nice and clean.
All in all very good value for money, will return if in the area

We returned here as a large group having stayed last year for the royal jubilee. We had 4 caravans and 2 tents and all stayed in the pony field as a group booking.
Manager Steve remembered us immediately from the previous year and gave us a great welcome.
Many of us had dogs and I can honestly say I have never stayed at a site that has such great dog walking facilities. Away from the main area though if your not a dog lover!
It was good to see improved waste disposal facilities on last year which were really needed.
Our daughter who is coming up to 16 really enjoyed the large games room playing pool and generally hanging around with others of her own age.
There is also a large play area for younger kids which we did not use but looks good.
I have read the comments about the prices, they are not the cheapest or the most expensive but you will smuggle to find a team of happier or more helpful staff, whether you are on the campsite or in the hotel.
The location is beautiful with no road noise for a lovely nights sleep.
We ate as a group of 15 on the last night in the restaurant and there were no complaints from anyone. Lovely.
I again have been informed that they are awaiting planning for an updated shower block.
We enjoyed ourselves that we have added our name to their long list of people wanting a seasonal pitch here.

We would definitely return to this site. We stayed here for a long weekend and we were fortunate with the weather as it was sunny or cloudy but dry.
When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly owner. We were shown where to go and he was very helpful.
I think the facilities on this site are great for what we needed having both children and dogs. The playing field is very large and a fantastic area for families to play on. The playground area looked quite small but there was a constant flow of children using it (the swings squeaked constantly).
The games room seems quite popular and has pool tables, a ping pong table and another table game. It also has 1 fruit machine and a sweets dispensing machine.
The dog walking field is excellent for dogs. Again it is very large and well fenced in, although the entrance is open to the campsite. At the top of the field is a lovely view of the sea in the distance - very pretty. The field was quiet when we used it.
The toilet block was clean, warm and relatively modern. We did not use the showers. The water taps were close to our caravan so filling up was reasonably quick. The waste water area was a little further away.
The shop was small and could be better stocked but it had everything we wanted, which admittedly wasn't much. We ate in the hotel one night and the food was very nice. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
We didn't leave the campsite but some of our party went to Robin Hoods Bay. I agree with others that you need a car to visit places.
Overall, I found this site to be very child-friendly and dog-friendly and we felt relaxed during our stay.

Just got back from a 3 night stay at York House Hotel & Caravan park, where we took our dog and stayed in our tent, the tent pitches where very good, nice grassed area with water tap & electric hook up (if wanted & we did) which also had a light at side of pitch, quite private as well,
the area we were in had a few tents already pitched for a very hot weekend, everybody at the park are very friendly & polite, lovely views all round,
we were about 4 miles outside Whitby, 2 miles from Robin Hoods Bay & 17 miles from Scarborough, great we visited all above with the dog (he loved it on beach at Robin Hoods Bay & Scarborough, where dogs are allowed on).
The toilets & showers were clean & tidy (you had to run water in shower for a bit to get shower hot, no problem), you were provided with a code to enter the site (this also enabled you access to the shower/toilet block).
Camp shop was a bit basic & possibly could be improved with supplies.
Dog walking area supplied is brilliant a large field provided to exercise the dog (enclosed).
Children's play area, well we didn't use this, but some kids were using it (climbing frame/swings)they seemed happy.
One place we did use was the Hotel bar, what very good value for money (cheaper beer than home)polite young man & young lady behind the bar,
We sat outside with the dog (weather fantastic).
We visited the pub down the road because a review said it was dog friendly & nice (shame lad behind bar wasn't & we didn't like the pub, well that wouldn't have mattered they didn't have Carling, camp site DID).
Would we recommend this Camp site YES, YES, YES, we intend visiting it again(weather permitting).
We couldn't fault it, great camping experience.

Just got back from a Monday to Friday at a very reasonable £10 a night,
Staff are very friendly and helpful,
Toilets very clean but gents had a bit of a smell when running the taps,
The bar is ok but could be better with a bit of entertainment for the kids,
The only shop is on site or you have to travel to whitby,
The pub over the road is small but the food was really good, we went on steak night, £28 a couple and a bottle of wine, one of the biggest stakes I have had.
Overall its a good site but you do need a car to get about
