Date of Visit: September 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Gary27 5 reviews from this member

 Just returned from Thorpe Hall only our 4th camping trip but this is the best site by far. Loved the setting of the pitches in the walled area loads of space for our large tent. Toilets and shower block very clean. Plenty of sinks for washing pots. Made good use of separate games field for football and frisby with kids. Its great that they don't allow kids to play football and the like near the tents and vans. Morning papers ordered for you by Jayne the site manager. Approx. 5 miles from Bridlington so good location for coast and Morrisons supermarket in Brid. Local village pub within walking distance but didn't use it on this occasion so cannot comment. Returning shortly without kids to try out fishing lake and the local pub of course. 


Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: JonoM 2 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a great 4 night bank holiday at Thorpe Hall. We had 3 different units (trailer tent, caravan & motor home) and were made to feel very welcome by the manager.

The pitches were excellent sizes. Our trailer tent measures 4.5x7.5m with all the awnings up & we still had loads of room even with 2 cars on the pitch. The ground is all grass which was in good condition & mown frequently.

Only one toilet block with 3 showers in mens, but even on bank holiday weekend with a full site, the wait was only 5mins & then loads of hot water in very clean & well equipped showers (with shower gel in wall dispenser). The family / disabled bathroom was clean & well set out with shower & bath for disabled use. My mother in law found this ideal.

There is a small park which is mainly a wooden climbing frame but our kids aged from 2 to 8 didn't use it much. The playing field is of an excellent size and was great for kites.

Site has a shop which we used & has some nice local produce for sale. Prices are reasonable.

Overall - excellent site. Well kept. Well equipped. Quiet.

Good pub in Rudston (about 1/2 mile) does very tasty, good value meals and welcomes kids and has no mobile phone coverage.

 What a fantastic site, this was our third visit. The Manager is very helpful and friendly. Toilets and showers are spotless and modern, grounds are well kept with flowers and hanging baskets etc. Nice big games field where we flew our kite.

Our Dog went with us and there is a good walking area complete with waste bins. This is a very good site in a lovely surrounding area. We will return.

I think it would be an idea to make people aware of site rules when they arrive at the site, this would prevent families like the one opposite us who chose to BBQ and continue to shout and laugh until midnight - three nights in a row. Not the fault of the site and I know I should have told the Manager but when they went home, the site returned to it's peaceful self.

 Another fab stay at a brilliant site. Great location for the attractions on the east coast and other attractions within yorkshire.

The site itself is immaculate. Jayne is so welcoming and helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble. It was raining one day and Jayne recommended loads of places for us to visit.

The site is very well maintained, grass is cut as soon as someone leaves a pitch, toilets and showers are spotless. (Showers are very powerful and hot too which is great after a day on the beach)

Already booked for next year - can't wait!

Reviewer: Liz McC 5 reviews from this member

 The site is very nicely situated in a walled garden, and the site manager was very helpful. Having said all that I thought £27.50 per night was a bit pricey as the facilities were ok but would have expected better for the money. I know it was August and the school holidays but it felt very crowded. I can't say exactly why but it didn't suit us and it had a strange atmosphere, it may have been because there were some very big encampments over 2 or 3 pitches and lots of people staying for one night.

Its close to the east coast and some lovely walking in the wolds. We didn't try the local pub as it was hosting 'Rudstock'.

Positives - good location, lots of toilets and plenty of free hot water.

Negative - expensive, and atmosphere.

Feel at Home When You're Away in Bridlington

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

 This has got to be one of the best camps we have stayed on,the toilets&showers are first class constant hot water heated 24hrs and cleaned to a very high standard. The staff are very friendly&very helpful.If you are looking for a quiet place to rest up and recharge your batteries this the place, there is a shop on site that stocks the basic things and you can order a paper each day if you like. There is a large games field for the kids to play safely and plenty of space to walk your dog. The village is only a 10 minute walk away where you can have a quiet drink and something to eat if you like in the local pub. I would like to write something negative about this camp but I cant hope to be going back soon.

Reviewer: Millythedog 2 reviews from this member

 Small quiet & generally peaceful site, shower/toilet block very clean warm and good quality. Jayne in reception always helpful. Pitches generous no problem with our large tent. Playing field large and well kept great for all ball games. Only real disappointment were the 'play park' which really really needs updating and games room which also needs abit of an update. Don't let that put you off though it is a nice site and we would definitely go back 


Date of Visit: June 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Camperchick 9 reviews from this member

 Well at the risk of constantly repeating myself we had a wonderful weekend in June here. It was my 40th and a group of 6 families with 12 children ranging from 2 to 14 came to mark the occasion.

Plenty of hot water, everything neat and clean, Jayne helpful and friendly as usual.

Unbeknown to us some of our children were causing a disturbance in the evening by running around the block which made the wooden ramp vibrate and disturbed campers near it (sorry campers!). This was dealt with quickly and without fuss.

We had a brilliant game of rounders on the excellent, roomy games field in the evening

We had 3 families who hadn't been to the site before and all said they can't wait to go there again.

Thank you for a lovely birthday.

 A fabulous site, the best we've stayed at! We had a tent pitch with electric hook up - excellent value for money, plenty of room between us and the neighbours. First class facilities, super clean toilets, showers and washing up area.
A very, very quiet site which was lovely but with a 5 year old we did feel like we were disturbing the peace once or twice, but the games field is a great idea - plenty of room for the little ones to run round and burn off some steam away from the main area.
Great management team on site very quick to address any issues (a broken shower in the ladies was repaired within a couple of hours). The best eggs we've eaten in a long time purchased from the shop which had all the necessities we had forgotten (washing up liquid) and some treats for the kids. All in all a lovely stay even though the weather was rubbish!

Reviewer: Simmi37 1 review from this member

 After reading the reviews for Thorpe hall on this site I felt I had to give it a try. I have to say that I am very pleased I did. From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome by Jayne.
The pitches were clearly marked and very large about 12 yards across and deeper than you need. The site was very quiet hardly any noise at all, which was what we were after, after a sleepless stay at Blue Dolphin last month.
The toilets and showers were as good as I have seen. I will definitely visit again. Will be taking my fishing kit next time, the lake was small but was quiet and had some nice little pegs, so worth a try. I will sum up by saying if you want Blackpool then this is not for you, but if rest and relaxation are more your bag then you won't be disappointed.

 Lovely stay again - this was the first time we stayed in the Paddock which is the furthest away form the facilities but it's hardly a trek - not even a minute's walk I would say.

Jayne as helpful and friendly as ever. She had to be up late one night when some rowdies pitched up and she moved them on as it is a quiet site where consideration to fellow campers is required.

All washing facilities clean, hot water plentiful.

Reviewer: Kel+Chelle 1 review from this member

 Just spent the most pleasant two days at Thorpe Hall. We found the site by chance and I'm so glad we did, I think we shall return again and again. The site comprises two parts, a tent field outside the Georgian walls and an electric hook up area within the walls.
The shower block, washing facilities (Inc laundry) were located within the walled area, but this was literally over the wall from the tent field so there was no long walks involved. We were lucky enough to be the only tent in the tent field for one night at least.
It was very peaceful, the facilities were superb, very clean and lot's of hot water! The wildlife was amazing, we awoke to a chorus of birds and frogs, heard a woodpecker and saw two weasels run over the field. Will definitely return .

Reviewer: ElizaD 10 reviews from this member

 Just got back from 2 nights at Thorpe Hall. Was very surprised how quiet it was - hardly anyone there - only us and one other tent, the rest in caravans.

Site is lovely and peaceful, even though close to road there was hardly any noise. Toilets / washing up really good, showers amazing. Everywhere really clean. Staff really friendly - would definitely go again. Saw some great wildlife including a pair of woodpeckers.

Very handy for Bridlington or Scarborough if you want the coast, or inland try Thornton-le-Dale for a lovely walk.

 What a nice site visited over Easter weekend although weather was not great and very cold. The site itself is set in an old walled garden but the tent field is outside the walls and is a distance from the toilet/shower block. The toilet/shower block were kept lovley and clean with a plenty full supply of hot water (the best showers I've been in on a site).

There is a small play area for the kids and a games room/tv which was ok.

The site manager (Jayne) was very friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble even ordering the papers for us.

In brief a wonderful site and have already booked to go again.

Reviewer: Janet Croxon 9 reviews from this member

 We have visited this site three times. It is always clean and the shower block and washing up facilities were well cared for. The caravan site looked nicer than the camping field, which can be a bit stony. We liked being in the shelter of the wall but it was a bit of a trek from there to the loo during the night.

The games room and TV room were a bit run down and the climbing frame not particularly inspiring. The TV was high on the wall and the chairs hard and uncomfortable.

On our last visit two very noisy families were talking loudly until 11.30 pm. Someone had obviously complained but the message we got was that it was OK until 11.30. If you like peace and quiet before that be warned. They were also early risers so we didn't get much sleep!

We didn't find the staff particularly helpful or friendly.

For our two small tents we had to have two pitches, whereas on some sites we have been charged for one pitch and allowed to put both tents on.

We would use the site again as it is convenient for Bridlington, but the period we wanted this year has a minimum number of nights.
