Reviewer: Fee_sax 1 review from this member

 We really enjoyed our visit to this site, the welcome was very friendly and helpful, there was plenty space on the family field where we pitched our tent.

There was a play area to keep the children happy, and the field was close to the path leading to Robin Hoods Bay. A short pleasant walk takes you to a variety of shops and pubs as well as a fabulous beach.

The shower block is clean and pleasant and there are laundry facilities (didn't use these so can't comment!) Overall a fantastic time was had and would definitely go back again.

 We have just returned from a week long stay at Middlewood Farm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here, we had paid a bit extra as we have a particularly large tent, I did feel like we were very fairly given the extra space we had paid for. At the start of the week it was quiet but by the end (Good Friday) the Family Field was packed and it did seem like tents were on top of each other - although it was well organised. I was very happy with the pitch but am not one for crowds so was happy to be leaving.

The site location is excellent. A 15 minute walk through the woods to Robin Hoods Bay and not long in the car to Whitby / Scarborough making Middlewood Farm an excellent base.

The Childrens play area is useful as it kept my 6 year old busy whilst we were setting up. The closeness of the tent pitching during the busier days seemed to take away the fun of having the open space to play.

Showers and toilets were clean and spacious, also washing up area sufficient and clean.

I would return to this site and happily recommend it.

We didn't try out the pubs in the village but there is a divine chocolate shop in Robin Hoods Bay for a nice treat!

 We have been visiting and returning to this site for a few years now and it is spot on. Large well managed camping field with excellent facilities. Toilet blocks and showers always clean with plenty of showers and hairdryers free of charge. Facilities to re-freeze your ice blocks if required. A very professionally run site with friendly staff. Great value for money. The location is fantastic – 10 minute walk through the field to picturesque Robin Hoods bay with its beautiful beach and many pubs and restaurants. Easy to get into Whitby on the bus (although it is expensive considering that you aren’t on the bus long!). There is also a pub in Fylingthorpe which is great and about 5 minutes from the site. Can’t rate this site highly enough.

Reviewer: Keithydee 21 reviews from this member

 This is a very large site contrary to the headlines, that said it was the beginning of the season and very quiet.

The toilets were clean, spotless in fact and there was plenty of free hotwater and showers.

The pitches we used were all level and well maintained with hedging to help protect the tents from that sea breeze.

It cost £7 per person per night and they charge from age 3 upwards.

We had a lovely stay, however, I cannot comment on how it will be in full season as there were another 2 fields which get opened up during this

There is a small playground for children (currently closed for maintenance) and its a 15 minute walk to Robin hoods bay with a small child.

I would use again out of season.

 A lovely site, with a nice welcome at reception. Although on the first morning to find icy cold showers and no hot water for washing up was a problem. It wasn't until 3 hours later that a notice was put up informing other site users of this.

Also the bins are too far from the tents in the main field, it was also very hard to see the fire points when we arrived.

Other then this though it's a lovely site, and we met some great people even the young ladies who's car me and my brother tried to fix. Also the children's play area is aimed at children over about 5 years old so the 2 we had with us where a little upset that everything was too big for them

 We visited this site with my parents to try out our new tent, for one night on a very cold and windy day! The site is situated in a nice little village, and is a nice open field. We just chose where to pitch and set about trying to pitch in the force 10 gale.

The site is really nice, has a good little children’s play ground. The toilet block is clean, well equipped and plenty of hot water.

We were there at a particularly late time of year, so we didn’t get the best weather. However, the site is really good. There is a little walk down to Robin Hood’s Bay which is great, and the village itself is really nice.

We had a meal at the Fylingdales Inn which is worth a visit.

A good site, we would return again, but earlier in the year!

Reviewer: SueEllen 2 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Middlewood Farm, 2 adults in a tent. We booked a pitch with hook up which was one of the better pitches around the edge of the main field. We wouldn't have fancied being in the middle or in the other fields, as other people have said the pitching is a bit random!

The facilities though were excellent, showers always clean and hot and also free hairdryers and sockets for your straighteners. They were no distance at all from our tent and there was plenty of pot washing sinks too (although a bin here would be useful!) Had a couple of take-aways from The Griddler van - excellent steak and chips!

We also hired frozen ice blocks from Reception for our coolbox - £1.00 deposit then 30p each block to hire. The walk to the beach through the fields is lovely to Robin Hoods Bay, a bit steep in places but only takes around 10 minutes.

Some lovely pubs and cafes here, we especial y enjoyed sitting in the garden at the Victoria at the top of the hill with a pint watching the tide! This campsite is in an excellent position for visiting Whitby (we went on the bus - £3.70 single)and Scarborough. Would certainly come again!

Reviewer: Leeguapo 6 reviews from this member

 A very nice site in a lovely location 10 mins walk to Robin Hoods Bay. Whitby is lovely and a 10 minute drive away. Good facilities when the site is quiet. I would hate to visit this site during peak times as it may be impossible to keep the facilities clean as hundreds of people are sharing 4 showers, 5 toilets and 1 bath. This is shared between 3 large fields. The family field however shares another same sized facility for only one field. I find this very weird.

Book the family field if you can as it is much nicer with adequate facilities. Owner are very polite and helpful. I don't think I would visit again as there are too many places to visit around the country.

 Visited Saturday 6th one night with young family, Guided to pitch in top field by warden before we could get lost.

We did feel close to other tents some being only a few yards apart, Did ask how far they wanted us way from other tent,and told to 'pitch in the gap' In fact to close for my liking.

Shower block OK but well used and needed a clean when we arrived 2pm Saturday. And did get cleaned in the afternoon.

Night time 3.30am Sunday group still partying as they did most of the night no sign of warden till first thing in the morning far to late.

Noise and being crammed in was my parting feeling

We will not be returning which is a shame as this is a nice site in a good location. 


Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Craggster 2 reviews from this member

 Went for a 2 night stay last weekend at Middlewood with my wife and 2 children. (Second time camping).

GOOD POINTS

Hot water and showers, also has 2 mains points within toilets to plug your electic items, (but could do with more) toilets, pot wash area, good central area and had a burger van on site.

BAD POINTS

Very overcrowded they crammed tents everywhere, if there was a small area of grass left they would stick a two man tent on it whether it was in front of your door way or not. They also have 3 fields available to put tents on and if every field was full there would be a queue a mile long for the 6 ladies/mens toilets and for the showers.

But apart from all this don't let it put you off, I've been to worse and would probably go back but on the electric hook up part.

 Just come back from 5 days @ Middlewood Farm with the family 4 adults and 1 child (12).

We generally enjoyed our stay, this was the first time with no hook up so we were pitched in with everyone on the top field and got used to using the grill for toast !

The Good Points

Hot showers, Helpful Staff, Nice location close to Robin Hoods Bay - agree with other person the walk gets steep on the way back so make sure you have good footware on.

Chocolate heaven was the wife and kids favourite place 'Chocolate fountain with Marshmellows and strawberrys'. Also had our Victorian styled photos shoot @ the memory box both in robin hoods bay Really Cool, not bad price also - very patient lady !

The fryer is also very good on site reasonably priced also.

The Bad

Too many tents (tightly packed in) next time would avoid weekends

Not enough shower and toilet facilities to accomodate busy periods ie 3 full fields

Too far to walk to toilets especially at night - if like me was in top field- wife wouldn't go on her own as there was no lighting until you got to the facilities !

No bins around site - you have to walk out of site to get to the main bin store for your rubbish.

We did like this site and would come back but only if we were in middle field, have hook up (close to facilities) 


Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Qwickchick 1 review from this member

 We were in pitch 8 for the tourers which was not dissimilar to camping on the A1 layby to be honest, all day and all night we had a steady stream of campers visiting the toilets, going the other way to the butty van and cars constantly in and out.

Site was clean but it seems the vast majority of children are running wild, in between caravans, knocking into cars etc. We were staying with friends who were in a tent, but while we could book in they couldn't.

Couldn't seem to get across to the office that we didn't want to make our way up there if our friends couldn't stay too - as its first come first served for the field. There was space as it turned out but not much. It left a bit of a bad taste.

Reviewer: Bermin71 1 review from this member

 The warden showed us were to pitch our tent I felt most of the tents in the top field were a bit close together. Overall really good campsite friendly staff clean toilet block good facilities.

Just a short stroll in to robin hoods bay where you can stroll along the beach and collect fossils. The bay hotel worth a visit just by the beach for a pint in the evening and the laurel inn. Lots of small shops in robin hoods bay to visit and take a stroll through the small cobble roads overall robin hoods bay gets 10/10.

Just a short drive away is whitby well worth a visit, lots to do, pier, shops, arcade, the abbey and lots and lots of fish and ship shops not too expensive. We also visited goathland not too far away the home of Heartbeat well worth a visit.

Reviewer: Markjoro 1 review from this member

 We stayed for 1 week in the family field. We were very surprised to find that the baby bathroom was a good 10 mins walk away very poor considering the had 2 private bathrooms that were unused.

The showers nearest the family field were at best luke warm but mainly cold even after several complaints were made. The great griddler served poor quality food.

The showers were cracked and dirty full of cobwebs don't go to this site expecting 5 star facilities only 9 mens showers for whole site lots of queueing. No shop on site its a 10 min walk to nearest which is excellent and has everything the owner is a really good man ask for anything he will get it.

The kids play area was too small and right next to the smelly barn no kids area in the family field for ball games. Overall very disappointed with this site should be a 3 star site at most.

Reviewer: RED4 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a 3 night stay with another family. The location of this site is really good. Only 10 minute walk into Robin Hoods Bay and really close to village of Fylingthorpe.

We were directed to our pitches on the bottom field with electric hook up and shown where to put our tents. After a couple of hours the campsite filled quite quickly and to our relief our pitches were in a good position.

We wouldn't have wanted to be in the centre of the main or top fields. Due to being very full the facilities were not adequate. The shower block in our field only had 5 showers in the ladies and 4 in the mens which did seem adequate until we went for a shower the following morning at 6.45am. It was getting busy and half an hour later and we would have been queueing out of the door. The overall cleanliness of these facilities was not the best.

People could have been more considerate and cleared their mess but we still feel the facilities should have been cleaned more often.

We would only return to this site if we didn't have to go at a peak time but due to taking children we probably won't return to the site again.
