Date of Visit: September 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: AndrewCarmel 1 review from this member

 Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Broadings farm - very nice site with good facilities.

The showers have recently gone up to 50p but that's no problem - nice and hot water and open all the time, outside washing up facilities and of course toilets - everything you need.

When we stayed there; there were only a couple of other tents in the field so it was nice and quiet and load of room to fly my kite :).

Loads to do locally - Whitby Abbey - Whitby town - sea food restaurants - Yorkshire moors inc' Goathland - only went there for a walk we saw in a guide book did not realise it was Heartbeat town.

We also popped to York and went to the Yorvik Centre (Vikings) and York abbey - nice day out.

Great pub / restaurant just up the road - think it's called the stables.

Recommended site.

Reviewer: Hel1 3 reviews from this member

 We have just come back from this site and were disappointed with the standards.It said all caravan places were hard standing this was a handful of rubble thrown on some long grass and half of the pitches were on a slope.

The shower block was new I think but was never cleaned when we were there and the windows open full blast in a force ten gale! If you didn't freeze to death in the actual block which has no heating you will do in the showers which having paid 50p for were stone cold.It is in a nice spot and close to whitby but a bit more attention to detail would have been nice.The camping field was actually better than the caravan area.We wont be rushing back.

 I stayed at Broadings Farm in may whilst doing a solo tour around the north east coast. I was met at the door by a friendly lady who told me where to camp.I was the only one in the field that night.With my mallett & stanley knife in my hand haha!
Very nice site with wonderful views over the moors. Make sure you take good pegs because I can imagine it getting a bit wild when the wind really gets up!
The views of Whitby are lovely& the town itself is well worth a visit & full of friendly people. I paid 5 pounds to camp for me & my 2 man tent which I thought was very reasonable. A new shower block was just being completed and was very nice & clean.
When next over the east coast this would be a site I would return to without question.

Reviewer: Orchid5 7 reviews from this member

 We arrived on the friday afternoon to some beautiful weather and were taken aback with the views from the camp site, very friendly people and sheep, even the little white cat came to say hello. The campsite is basic but that is what camping is about, the shower/toilet block very clean, very quite at night thankfully. The walk into Whitby itself is around 20 minutes and the coastal walk from Whitby/Robin Hoods bay will take you around 2/3hrs. Well worth staying here £22 for two adults for two nights with showers can't beat it. Will definitely be coming back to this one.

Reviewer: ASladen 3 reviews from this member

 This site is superbly located and an absolute bargain at £5 per person. The owner was really friendly and you can't beat the views - get up at sunrise to see the sun come up over The Abbey and you'll see what we mean!

The facilities are clean and well kept and the town centre is just a good walk away - bit harder coming back as uphill but we reckon it would be cheap in a taxi. There is a fab antiques fair/car boot held right near the camp site most Sundays - a must to browse around.

My only advice is book early as we haven't managed to get in a weekend this summer yet - even with all this rain! The owner will always do her best to accommodate you but they are really popular, especially in the school holidays.

Reviewer: Jamforbrains 4 reviews from this member

 Lovely site, you pitch where you like when you arrive. Field nicely sloping and smooth, perfect for tents - we liked the way tents and caravans are kept in separate fields. It is an exposed site in the wind, pitch your tent with care - several looked pretty worse for wear after a day of strong gusts and we had to re-pitch ours, but once it was facing the wind was much better.

Toilet block is new, kept exceptionally clean and well stocked with plenty of loo roll & soap. 50p for showers good value (about 10 mins and hot), and there's a seat and plenty of hooks to hang your stuff on. Owners were friendly but generally left everyone to it which was nice - they were happy for us to leave our car on site after we packed up while we went into Whitby for the day.

As others have said, easy walk into Whitby, there's a garage 10 mins down the hill for milk and bread (and has a cash machine).

Great site, will return.

Reviewer: Cheekyboots 12 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic site. Spotless, great owners, very pleasant and helpful. Good 20 minute yomp down to Whitby, not for the faint hearted! Hills don't ya know!

Toilets, 2 showers, 50p a go. Not bad but needed to last a bit longer for the ladies! Many swear words heard upon loss of water!

Fantastic views. Pub off to the left, bout 3 minute walk, didn't try it tho.

Car boot sale on a Sunday in the next field. A real good one with many bargains!

We will most definitely be back! 


Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Alex+Siobhan 4 reviews from this member

 This was a lovely site.

Very good value for money! £12.00 for two adults and electric has been the cheapest campsite we have found.

The toilet facilities were really good - Very clean with lots of space to put your things.

Very clean site with lots of space in pitches - you don't feel crammed at all.

Showers were 50p but this lasted for ages and were very good - Lots of space in shower cubicle.

Only a 20 minute walk from Whitby but you can take the alternate route along the cliffs which takes a lot longer but is definitely worth the extra walk. (about 40-50 minutes at a slow pace!)

We will definitely be returning to this site.

Reviewer: Anth69y 1 review from this member

 We visited this site for 3 nights on the first week in august. Great views from the site. Toilet block and showers are clean and tidy ,the field slopes so is good for drainage in bad weather. Touring caravans are in a separate field to tents.

Bad points (my view only)

1. Only one water tap at top of field

2. No shop on site

3.Bad smell when wind blows from bottom of field

4. When we visited thousands of flies invaded site

5. No park/swings etc for the kids to play in

Saying that this is still a nice campsite run by really nice people and situated a five minute drive from the centre of whitby

 Just returned from a fantastic weekend at Broadings Farm.

The site owners were very welcoming and friendly.

We paid £5 per night per adult and £3 per night per child.

The tent field is on a slight slope, and has breathtaking views of the Moors. We could hear the North Yorkshire Moors Railway steam trains chuffing by in the distance, which was charming.

Very friendly sheep in the field next door, which the children found very amusing!

A big tree provided an excellent climbing frame for all the boys on the camp, overall I found this to be an excellent camp for kids who played happily together in the spacious field.

Allowed to pitch where we chose, plenty of space to choose from. Most people seemed to choose the top end of the field, some campers had chosen to pitch at the bottom for added privacy.

The showers/toilets/dishwashing facilities were basic, but modern and immaculatly clean. Perfectly adequate. 50p for a shower seemed perfectly reasonable, I couldn't tell you how long it lasted as I'd always finished before it ran out!

The only thing I would have wished for that could have improved my visit would have been a facility for freezing iceblocks for my coolbox.

Whitby itself is a delight. About a twenty minute walk from the site(we've been visiting for years in bed and breakfasts). Picturesque fishing town with plenty to do whatever the weather. It's how all seaside towns should be!

We were very lucky with the weather, so spent a lot of time on the stunning beach.

We'll definitely be returning to Broadings Farm, I highly recommend it.

 Just spent a lovely weekend here with 3 other families. The site is quite large, on a slight slope and you can pitch where you like. There's no EHU for tents here but there's a plug socket in the toilet block for essentials like hair straighteners!

The toilet block has 3 loos (in the ladies!), 3 showers and 3 sinks and it was very clean with plenty of hot water. You do have to pay 50p for the showers though but they last forever!

The washing up area is outside under a shelter but only has 2 sinks and there was a queue most mornings.

The welcome we got from the owners was very warm, friendly and casual. They will freeze your ice blocks free of charge and they do 'the rounds' at about 11pm to remind you to turn your music off!

The views from this site are just lovely and it only took us about 20 minutes to walk into Whitby, downhill going but uphill coming back! Apparently there is bus but we didn't use it and the queue for a taxi was rather long!

We'd definitely camp here again as it's a great base for Whitby and there was even a car boot sale in the next field on the Sunday!

Reviewer: Grenhouse 3 reviews from this member

 Excellent site in an excellent location!

This site provided us with excellent facilities, both the toilets and showers were good quality, 50p for the showers which you can't grumble at when the site is this good value for money!

The location is brilliant being only a 25 minute walk into whitby, and giving great views of the abbey. There is a lidl close by for any necessities, but who would want to cook when you can have fish and chips every day!

Friendly people who are happy to help with anything.

Reviewer: Briandjude 3 reviews from this member

 Just had a couple of nights here. Lovely site with pretty flat hard standing and grass for your awning. Nice clean toilets,take a long hose if you have on board water tanks and a long electric cable.30 minute stroll in to Whitby down hill. Will be back. Cost £12 a night for two adults two dogs electric hook up and awning which is excellent value. This is a proper working farm so you can hear the animals in the barn. The owners are very nice and friendly. There is a garden center and pub just up the road and a car boot in the next field on certain days.

Reviewer: Drowe5 1 review from this member

 Just got back from 3 nights at Broadings Farm. This was my first ever camping trip and I loved it! The farm was spacious, clean and tidy - the showers and toilets spotless and the farmer and his family were lovely.

Highly recommend this to anyone, we will defo be going back. Only a 25 min walk into Whitby and a lovely pub up the road.

Was a little bit breezy but our tent withstood the elements fine - though a windbreak is on my shopping list for next time. I am now a camping convert and looking forward to my next trip!

Reviewer: Sethmondo 1 review from this member

 Turned up without booking and were greeted by very nice and helpful owners who charged a family of five very little for two nights.

Tent field is great with excellent views of the surrounding moors and across Whitby and with no defined pitches it was find a space time of which there was plenty.

Well tended site with basic but very nicely presented, spotlessly clean and functional facilities. Road noise mentioned in previous reviews is there but not a problem really, it didn't keep us awake. Also no noise after 10 pm was adhered to.

What I did especially like was that after we had pitched and headed off for a meal we came back and the site entrance said site full. As far as I could tell only one more small tent had arrived after us and there was still loads of space to fit more in. Quality and space over profit, fab idea.

For me the missus and three children aged 10/5 and 3 in a borrowed tent on a trial run after a long break from camping we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.
