We stayed at this campsite for four nights over Spring Bank Holiday week at the start of June. All our party absolutely loved it, despite the teething problems with the newly opened shower block.
As others have said, it's a working farm in a rural location - it's a good walk to the nearest pub and a drive to the closest shop. It's very peaceful and relaxing, set in a fold of the hills down a long lane off a quiet back road.
The non-electric hook ups were further away from the children's play areas and the shower blocks, but the site is not really big enough for anywhere to be a long walk.
The new shower blocks/toilets were lovely - a family shower/toilet plus large shower in each of the ladies and gents toilet blocks making a good addition to the three older showers. The campsite was busy but we rarely had to wait long to get a shower and never had to wait for the toilets. It was just unfortunate that our visit coincided with the opening of the new block and consequent issues with getting the constant hot water that the owners had been promised.
There are three sinks for washing up, plus microwave and fridge in the pot wash room.
The farm shop had everything we needed and the owners were extremely helpful.
Our daughter loved the idea of hunting for new laid eggs from the farmyard hens, though we were never successful - I don't think many minutes went by without there being a child desperately trying to find one :-) The playground was good for her, though as always with playgrounds, its worth bearing in mind that it attracts all ages, not just little uns like her.
The location was excellent - we were within easy striking distance of Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington and Whitby. I suspect we'll be back now we've found this little gem!
Visited Humble Bee Farm as part of a surfing weekend and the place is great. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and told if we needed anything to just ask.
There is a small shop on site which stocks the essentials. There is a play area for children, a duck pond and clearly sign-posted trails for walking, and even tell you the estimated time for the walk.
The WC/shower facilities were spotless, it was almost like being at home! The showers were power showers with constant warm flowing water. Washing machines (or dryers - not sure which now) were available too.
We stayed in the wigwams on the site, which were fantastic. Me & the missus were very comfortable in it along with our border-collie. The wigwams have fridge, kettle, microwave inside along with a picnic bench & BBQ outside and it's own outside tap.
Next to the wigwams was a portable loo which was useful as it's a 350-400 yard walk to the loos otherwise.
Tent pitches were all numbered and looked have plenty of room between pitches.
Unfortunately, the nearest pub is a good 20 min walk away, but on the return journey you have to walk up a long steep hill it's probably more like 30 mins. Thefood in the pub (situated on the main road in Flixton) looked suberb and plentiful (we'd already eaten when we got there).
The site is situated literally in the middle of nowhere (it's a working farm after all) so it's worth bearing that in mind if you want to got for a drink / meal in the evening.
Overall, I'd happily recommend Humble Bee Farm to anybody. It was a quiet place in the evenings, and would be great for families or couples. The staff were very friendly and even offered us advice on where to surf!
My only complaint was that I was told on booking that only electric hook ups available, which we took and paid for (although we don't have any equipment for electric)
The pitch was a bit small and as someone else has said, close to the children's playground. Because of the type of campsite ie quite small and friendly, other parents tended to leave their children screaming and crying all day long which for me is the only downside to my visit, if I had bee given a pitch on the non electric it probably wouldn't have put a blip on my stay. I think it would be an idea to at least make the opening time a bit later than 8am for consideration of the campers that are pitched near the playground 8am is a bit early when I'm on holiday to be woken by kids !
The people are friendly the toilet/shower/kitchen were clean although no hot water
Kitchen had a useful microwave and fridge and you could use the freezer in reception for freezer blocks
The reception are very friendly and the shop well stocked and lots of tourist info
This was our first visit and very first camping experience, there was myself, husband and two children (9 & 4yrs). It was absolutely beautiful, the site so very clean and tidy, lovely little play area for children. There was never any need to worry where they were as we could be sure they were very safe. Kids even made a few friends.
On a night it was peaceful no rowdy noise, the fire pits excellent at £8 a night it was a wonderful way to finish the evening, toasting marshmallows, lovely and a big pile of wood to put on the fire, they are delivered to your pitch and collected next day.
The owners very lovely people and so warm and friendly, their two dogs are friendly and love to have a bit of breakfast and bbq with you, so any spare sausage the dogs are more than happy to help you finish them,
Lots of animals for the kids to play with, they have pigs, ducks, chickens, & 3 pony's.
There's brand new toilet blocks which opened a few days before our visit, very clean and tidy and never had to wait to use the facilities.
We have now booked to come back for another visit in a few weeks which the kids are very excited about. I'm so pleased that I found a wonderful site.
There is also a little shop on site that sells all the basic essentials.
All in all I couldn't say anything negative about this site as there wasn't any downsides. If you want somewhere to get away from the hustle and bustle this is the place to be.
We have been coming here for about 4 years and still love it. We had our normal pitches as grandparents love it here too and they like a curtain pitch which has never been a problem.
The owners are always friendly and helpful. The new shower block had not been finished but looks like its going to be great.
We went and collected an egg each for brekkie one morning yum yum. We went and met the ponies. We suggested that they should have a competition for the kids to name the pigs. We are hopefully going to manage to get another weekend in before the end of the year.
Just arrived back from this site and so far this is the best that we have visited so far since we started camping last year. Julia and co are very friendly and so are their little dogs! We had pitches 11 and 12 right next to the park and the new shower block, it was kept very clean and our kids loved the park.
The whole site is immaculate and the surrounding area is beautiful, we went into Filey and Scarborough over the weekend. We hired one of the firepits for both the Friday and Saturday nights, came with the logs for £8.00 per night and was lovely to sit round, before the rain came anyway!
Just come back from 7 days camping at Humble Bee farm this is our 3rd year and it was as fab as ever. Me and my family love the place. My 2 kids 7 and 3 never seem to spend time in the tent with us as they is to much playing and wandering to be done.
This was our 1st time with our new much bigger tent outwell Florida 6 and still had loads of space on pitch with electric. The new shower blocks are so much better then the old porter loos in the past and is always being mopped and cleaned round by Julia. We will be booking again for next year and are thinking about having 2weeks as we love the site that much. It is family friendly for all age of kids and the peace of the area it is set in makes you feel relaxed and like you are to having a holiday, not just the kids. Me and my hubby get a fire pit, they are £8, sit out front our tent that I have fairy lights on, and feel relaxed watching the world go by
Loved It! This is one of, if not the loveliest campsite we have stayed one. The setting is lovely and the grounds are too, a lot of thought has gone into this site and the cottages look lovely too, especially the ones with the hot tubs.
Wigwams were great and a great way to get an introduction into camping. Julie and Percy could not be more helpful and was nice to see them around obviously proud of what they had. We stayed in the meadow as we do not need electricity and there was lots of room, we stayed more to the bottom as it is flatter.
New shower / toilet block is ace and showers are massive!, but do not be put off by the olds ones as they are spotless and always had plenty of hot water and never had to queue even though it was bank holiday weekend.
There little shop is useful for the things you have forgot and emergency essentials. Fire pits are a great idea to sit round on a lovely evening. All in all we had a fab time (three families and a dog) and are already booking for later in the year. Oh good tip bring some apples and carrots with you as the pony's and pigs loved them.
A great site for all the reasons listed in the previous reviews. Dont let the hill climb put you off unless you are towing a great weight. It's a long straight hill with plenty of passing places.
Staff are really helpful, we stayed in the non EHU meadow, this is pitch where you like, with plenty of space for the children to play.The EHU field seemed a little cramped to us.
After getting up the big hill with trailer, some caravans will struggle unless there's another way in,
Julia at reception was very pleasant and told us where to go to our pitch and gave us a bit of advice regarding toilet / shower block and a few animals on the farm.
We got to our pitch and was a decent size although on a bit of a slope nothing to worry about. All the pitches are not too far from the play area which looked newish and was right next to the new shower / toilets and washroom but not fully open yet but will be for last bank holiday in May 2010. The other shower / toilet is near reception and was lovely.
The showers had plenty of room with hooks to hang clothes on, we have been to some sites and you can't swing a cat but these are nice and big.
There are some pony's that come right next to tent pitches (behind a fence) and are soft and kids can feed them and stroke them which they liked (kids that is) and there are chickens roaming around and the kids liked feeding them and the ducks around the duck pond, also hunting for eggs that the chickens had laid but we only found one but it kept the kids quite every morning.
It's a very nice clean site and the toilets are kept to a nice standard, there is a dog walk up and around the fields which takes about 30 mins. The electric pitches are 16 amp. The noise level was kept down as it's family's only on site.
All in all I would recommend this site if you have younger children as ours loved the freedom with the animals and the play area and it will be even better at end of May when new shower / toilet block is opened fully.
We’ve recently stayed at Humble Bee and didn’t have as good a time as we expected, based on the reviews on this website. If you are going to use this site then there are a few things to take into consideration before you book:
1) The new shower and toilet block, which also houses the pot wash area, only runs its hot water on solar power so it’s never hot. We were told this on arrival but other guests were not, and when complained about the showers were told that “It’ll help you wake up in the morning” – which wasn’t too helpful.
2) The electric pitches, as mentioned in other reviews, are very small, on slopes and crammed together. They also run alongside the only road in and out of the site so if you have small children make sure they know the green cross code.
3) The kid’s playground, which is in the middle of the electric pitches, is supposed to be open from 8 till 10. Of the 4 nights we were there only once did the owner ask the feral kids to go back to their pitches. On the other nights one of the parents staying near it went and moved them on.
4) There is nothing within walking distance to the site, unless you appreciate a long steep climb up the hill from Flixton.
Personally, my biggest disappointment was that while making my booking I was told that only the electric hook up pitches would be available and my preferred (and I’d guess cheaper) non electric pitches would not. After setting up our kit we had a look around the site, only to find that the non electric field was open with quite a few spaces available.
So to sum up this site. Its ideal if you like cold showers have a small tent and don't mind the noise of screaming kids all day and all night.
The location of this small park is lovely and there are walks you can do in the surrounding countryside (guides available in Reception). This is a working farm and there are animals, chickens and geese which younger visitors would enjoy.
There is a new shower/toilet block which wasn't quite finished when we were there but you could use the pot wash and the disabled toilet to save walking up to the older block. The older block was very clean and had everything we needed.
We were disappointed with the tent pitches which were on a slope and at £16 per night for a non-electric pitch, we felt they were too pricey for a mid-week stay. If the pitches were flat, we'd definitely go back but we had 2 nights of poor sleep due to the angle of our bed so it wasn't the restful break we were looking for which is why our overall rating is low.
We were a party of 6 adults and 1 infant using 3 tent pitches and EHU.
The site is lovely and off the beaten track in peace and tranquillity, no road noise, sirens, maybe the occasional tractor and a 'cock a doodle doo' but that's about it.
The only negative aspect was the lack of nearby toilet facilities as the new toilet block was unfinished. We were, however, permitted to use one toilet in the block, whilst the rest was being worked on. For those who didn't mind there was also a portaloo on site near the Wigwams.
The site is on a working farm and if you have children there is a children's play area, duck pond (adult supervision required), hens (one fresh egg per child) and ponies as well as pigs and the farmers dog who frequently came to see us whilst cooking bacon! We didn't mind though.
The toilet facilities near the shop and entrance were spotless, plenty of hot water and a place to wash your dishes. There is a washer and dryer as well as 3 proper shower cubicles in separate rooms.
The owners provide you with lots of information on local facilities, attractions and even the nearest Chinese takeaway, which was very nice indeed.
The wigwams looked great and we were very tempted to go and get one for the evening as temperatures fell below freezing one night!
The shop on site is well stocked selling toys, gifts, bacon, eggs, ice cream and bread as well as fresh coffee, cappuccino and hot chocolate.
As others have mentioned the site is in a dip, therefore there is no mobile signal which was great for getting away from the tests and facebook of everyday life. We used walkie talkies if we needed to speak to anyone in our party, these were particularly useful during our treasure hunt around Filey.
The weather was particularly kind to us all but on our day of departure where the heavens opened and we had to strike our tent in the rain! So we had no option but to put the tent in a bin line in the boot and attempt to dry at home.
We would certainly return to this site as it is certainly one of the better sites we have been to. The owners can't do enough to help you and always enquired whether everything was ok and if we were enjoying our stay, but no way intrusive. It is a perfect location for Filey, Flamborough, Scarborough and local supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, a car is definitely essential.
A lovely clean site and very friendly owners. Will be returning asap. As far as the bank up to the site, no problems here, as long as you're in the right gear to start with
My toddler loved the pigs and shetland pony's and the great little play area.
Just returned from this site where we stayed for the bank holiday weekend and would recommend anyone who is looking at staying in the area to definitely give it a try.
Excellent facilities on site and when the new shower block is complete at spring bank it will be even better. Owners very friendly, nice play area for the children but the best part is the farm animals.
Our Children loved going to see the Shetland ponies and collect fresh eggs from the hens each morning for breakfast. The fire pits are also a great idea to hire for the evening. We had perfect jacket potatoes followed by toasted marshmallows!
Would definitely recommend this site especially to families with young children.
