Stayed here for 3 nights. Very enjoyable (although the weather was a big help) it was too. The pitches are a good size with grass to the side of the hardstanding. The toilet block is small but adequate, 2 toilets for ladies and the same for the gents, and one unisex shower, we only used the shower once, but everything is very clean.
The Barnes Wallis pub is a 5 minute walk and the food is excellent but don't go if you have a small appetite as the portions are huge, we went on the Thursday night and then again on Saturday for lunch, as it was lunch we just ordered a sandwich which once again was a huge portion, but very enjoyable. We drove into Howden On Friday just to have a look around and get a few supplies from the Co-op, it's a very quaint town.
Back to the site, being adult only it is very peaceful apart from the nearby trains, although you don't really hear them after a short time. The shower is £1 for 7 minutes which seems expensive, but my husband and I both managed to get a good shower for £1, and as the pitch is only £15 per night it is excellent value. Highly recommend a stay here (just leave room for us!)
What a delightful site this is. The impression one gets as you pass through the gate onto the site is that it is immaculately maintained and is of a high standard, pitches being spacious with gravelled tracks round the site leading into the gravelled pitches with neat grass areas between. The deputy warden greeted us and was friendly and helpful, taking the time to show us where the facilities were and how the shower meter worked, etc. There is, as has been said, one large unisex shower flanked by separate male and female loos, two in each section. We didn't bump into anyone at shower times so never had to wait around for one. If I wanted to be extremely picky I'd wish for three more minutes for my quid, but if you don't hang about, two can shower in 7 minutes. Soap and towel provided for the loos' handbasins along with hot water, with a clean towel every day - a small detail but a nice touch. Some DVDs and books are there for you to borrow should you need a little entertainment. There is a tidy little area for rubbish and recycling, with the elsan point and grey water drain contained therein. Again, clean and tidy at all times. There are two fresh water taps, one at either end of the site. Also, there is a fantastic little old pusscat who has adopted the site and enjoys a bit of fuss of an evening. Very sweet, she is.
In the far corner of the site is a lovely little pond with dabchicks nearby, and opposite this is a dog walking area. I think there may have been one or two dogs on site when we were there but the owners kept them quiet so no annoying barking to disturb. In fact, in the three nights we were there, the site was wonderfully quiet even though there were approximately 15 units in situ. There is a little road noise especially at going to work and going home times but really, it's not at all intrusive and come nighttime it's very quiet. Besides, the song throughsh was singing his head off most evenings and easily gave the traffic a run for its money.
The pub is 5 minutes' walk down the road and although we didn't eat there (as there wasn't much choice for veggies) the landlady kept a very good pint. Howden is a well-stocked little town with independent shops as well as a reasonable sized Co-op and several restaurants and cafes. A few miles further on is Selby whose Abbey is well worth a visit. The coast is a bit of a trek but if you want candy floss and rock and all the fun of the fair, Bridlington is good fun.
All in all, it's a lovely part of the country and folk are pretty friendly. The site rounded it all off beautifully and we will definitely be back.
Booked on to Brenda House Touring Caravan site for 3 nights and ended up staying 8 nights.
What a lovely peaceful secluded site. The space between each pitch is one of the biggest we have been on. The layout of the pitches has been done in such a way as to ensure no one is overlooked. The shower is immaculate and the toilet block provides hot and cold water.
We were greeted by the friendly owners who assisted us on to our pitch and said would return in a few hours after we had got settled to explain a bit about the area and to book us in. Which they duly did. We were very grateful for the local knowledge and to be informed of the train timetable which we took advantage of having a wonderful day out in York.
The walks from the site are plentiful. You can walk over the fields into Howden itself passing 2 friendly donkeys on the way and if you are lucky as we were you will catch a glimpse of the deer and fox. Or if you prefer you can walk direct into Howden on the B1228 which has a path all the way direct from the site into Howden.
The Barnes Wallis pub is 5 minutes’ walk from the site and serves excellent food but be aware the portions are huge so don’t go for the big plates!
The only sounds we heard of an evening was the hooting of the barn owl which was lovely to see. We will certainly be back soon.
We visited this site during October and although it was nearing the end of the season we found it clean and well run.
The owners are friendly and helpful, and, will assist if you need help setting up.
The site has large pitches, all hard standing, with electric and water points conveniently positioned.
The site has separate men’s and women’s toilets with hand washing facilities in each. There is a unisex shower which runs on a meter. £1 for 7 mins. This was adequate time for both of us to get showered in.
The site is situated a few hundred yards north of Howden Railway Station, which is handy to go to places like Selby, York, Hull, Leeds, and further if you so wish. Although the railway is close by we were never disturbed during the night.
Howdens other claim to fame is that the Airship, (R100 or R101, not sure which), was built there. The pub at the railway station is named after one of the engineers Barnes Wallis. Here we got a reasonable meal but we learnt to ask for a small portion.
Neville Shute Norway (the author of A Town Like Alice) was also one of the engineers.
One thing you must not do is tow through the centre of Howden as it is made up of narrow roads. Approaching the site watch your speed, 30/40mph, police patrols.
Nicely laid out site with generous hard standing pitched spaced well apart and very level.
Toilets and shower very clean but could of done with a small heater for the shower unit.
Helpful greeting from the site owners with advice about the facilities and gave a hand to manoeuvre caravan onto pitch.
Lovely town Howden just few minutes away
Good value for money site, however just a few minor points to beware of. We had booked for 3 nights and the owner was very quick to come over and take our cash, we soon found out why -
The road from 5am till around 9am was very noisy with artics belting along the straight road.
The site has no lights and we found it hard to even find the toilet block after dark. Whilst the shower was very clean and water nice and hot, we think £1 per shower is a little expensive.
Instead of camping, why not try a house for your break to the East Coast ! At this delightful family home you will be close to everything that Bridlington Old Town has to offer. If you want the roar of the sea, then you will be just a short drive or 30 minute walk to the harbour and beach. The house is fully kitted out with everything your family need for a stay away from home. Up to 4 guests - living room - kitchen - 2 bedrooms - 3 beds - 1 bathroom - good size year round garden - parking for 2 cars
So don't bring your tent, airbeds and sleeping bags, and enjoy the feeling of being home from home. Find out more here
A nice, clean, well-kept, quiet site with spacious hard-standing level pitches. The owners and on site warden were friendly & helpful. The site is a short drive from the pretty little town of Howden and not too far from Beverley. We had a very relaxing time there. The site is off the road (via a closed gate) and there is not much traffic noise. There is a working farm adjacent.
We found there were plenty of opportunities to eat out locally. Apart from the Barnes Wallis pub near the campsite and places in Howden, The Royal Oak pub on the road to Driffield (A614) provided a good menu choice with 2 excellent home cooked meals for £10 on weekdays.
The site boasts spotless facilities but only has 1 (well-sized) unisex shower which was expensive as it cost £1 for 7 minutes. The narrow gap at the top of the wall in the ladies, mentioned by a previous reviewer, would not have been a problem really but the owner had thoughtfully filled it in with opaque glass bricks to address any concerns about privacy. There are no washing up or washing facilities here other than small hand basins.
We appreciated the fact that this is an adults only site and enjoyed the peace and quiet. We would definitely like to visit it again.
Recent trip with our 31' RV plus trailer to this lovely site was an absolute pleasure. Helpful owners, large hard-stand all weather pitches and easy access made for a peaceful and relaxing week. Water tap not too far away and access to a drain for emptying our tanks.
Site is very well kept. Shower blocks are very clean and tidy. Enclosed dog walking area was very handy. Pub a short stroll down the road with the town (pretty town with an array of shops and supermarket) a longer walk or short drive away.
Stevie G's sandwich bar is recommended; lovely staff and excellent food. Railway station is near by with trains to York and Hull. Friendly people on site.
All in all an excellent well managed site and we will return.
This is probably a perfect site for caravans, but we lack facilities in our small camper van. Toilets and shower are fine, but sinks are small and not private. There were no obvious washing/cleaning facilities for plates etc.
It is very convenient for York (couple return after 09. 30 is £12. 00), and there are other places by rail (Hull, Selby). The local pub is great if you like big rather than than delicate.
First time on this site and must admit only used it because of the reviews. The site itself is immaculate, attention to detail seems to be a way of life to the owners and top marks to them for all the work they put into the site.
The local pub is a quite stroll along a grass path, we are in our 60's and it is only a five minute stroll, I have to admit some locals do use this straight bit of road as a race track, but the path is wide and we never felt threatened.
There are plenty of shops and takeaways in Howden. We had lunch in a very nice Chinese restaurant for a set price and have to admit the food was excellent and good value.
I have tried to find something negative to say about this site and have failed. This site is good value for money and has a very relaxing atmosphere. If the owners read this review I hope they keep doing what they do best for as long as they enjoy doing it.
We have only just found this website on which we found our favourite site, Brenda House. We have been going there for about 4 years. As like others we have found it to be a quiet and peaceful site with friendly owners. On reading the reviews we found a few inconsistencies from other visitors, one being the railway station being handy then complaining about the trains. Another being mooing from cows, you tend to get that in the country, along with sounds from sheep, chickens and tractors.
If you don’t want to look at the dog walking area then turn your van round to look down a well- presented site. Talking of dog walks. There are places to walk them without the use of the car down quiet lanes and across fields.
The shower is good. We’ve been on site when it’s almost full, and we have never had to queue to use it. You may have to adjust your timings but that is all, you could get that on any campsite. Concerning the gap at the top of the wall between the men’s toilet and the shower. You would need to be very athletic to see over this wall as the gap is only about 8 inches, if anyone tried they would probably hang themselves. Also not many bring ladders with them in their vans, which would be necessary to attempt this manoeuvre.
There are no local attractions except the Minster and a selection of small shops plus a good garden centre, but there are plenty just a car ride away.
We have been caravanning/motor homing for the past 35 years or so and we very rarely return regularly to the same site. This is one site that we do, and will keep doing so.
