Reviewer: 555rmb 8 reviews from this member

 Lovely, quiet well kept site with clean and good facilities. Staff very helpful and obliging. Good location nice village nearby with eateries pubs and shops.

Just one small criticism it was difficult to keep your belongings dry in the shower. The design of these made it very difficult. I suppose I should have brought a large plastic carrier bag to put things in but I didn't have one. Thanks for your help with motorhome facilities.

Reviewer: Markh1 4 reviews from this member

 This is excellent site, well located within walking distance of the pretty village of Thornton Le Dale which has shops, restaurants and pubs and even a motor museum

The site is well maintained and the owners friendly and helpful, facilities are very good and include a lending library, laundry and drying room and good tourist information

Being adult only it was quiet and the other guests we met were very friendly

Highly recommended

 What a delightful little caravan park. Upon arrival we were met by the owner who was very helpful friendly and efficient, he helped to pitch our van and gave us the necessary information about the site. The facilities are excellent and cleaned daily.

There is the village of Thonton-Le-Dale just a 10 minute walk away with a selection of good pubs small shops and lovely tea rooms and bakery. This is a very central place for visiting Whitby Scarborough and the city of York also Pickering is worth a visit. We will be returning sometime soon.

Reviewer: Geoleen 44 reviews from this member

 We stayed here in our tourer for 4 nights with our friends in their motorhome. What a lovely welcome from the owner and the visit only got better. Any other staff we encountered were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The site is lovely and peaceful (adult only) and well maintained.

The amenity block was spotless and has a free hairdryer in the ladies. The only trouble we had was with t. V. Reception, but it wasn't a major problem as our friends had good reception so we watched tv in theirs. The free wifi is a bonus.

The village of Thornton le Dale is very picturesque and about a 15 minute stroll away. It has 3 pubs that we saw, a chippie (which we didn't try) and a lovely tea rooms. There is a small convenience store, butcher, gift shops and a pharmacy. The Buck Inn at the crossroads is where we ate on the Friday night food was lovely and is reasonably priced. We were going back there on the Monday night but unfortunately my husband wasn't very well so we never made it.

Apart from that we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend this site and we will return. 


Date of Visit: September 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Nortoon Lad 9 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 2 nights. It was our 1st visit and we booked purely because of the feedback left by members who had stayed previously.

We weren't disappointed. We were shown to our pitch by Darren and he had our caravan pitched before I had got out of the car. We had a walk in to the village on the afternoon and were welcomed in the New Inn with our 2 dogs for a couple of drinks.

The site is lovely and quiet, the village of Thornton-le-Dale is beautiful.

We will definitely stay again.

Well done Darren and Natalie, you are doing a great job, keep it up!

Reviewer: Toneclaire 3 reviews from this member

 Brilliant little site. Very well kept, nothing too much trouble for the owners, who kept you in-touch of their whereabouts.

Toilets and showers top class. Very nicely positioned for exploring lots of really nice places.

Thornton le dale within 10 mins walk, lovely little village with some really nice little shops.

Dog walking off site but only 2 mins down the road and into some lovely woods or across the road for a big field.

We definitely will be back.

 Just back from a great few days at Overbrook, a lovely little site set on the edge of the beautiful village of Thornton le Dale, the site is very well kept, cleen and tidy, a credit to the keeper. No dog walking on site but plenty just off site.

Toilet and shower facilities are OK, clean and tidy, nice to have to listen to a little 70/80's music, had a little sing along one evening, just like being at home.

A good location for exploring the Dalby Forest & North Yorkshire, thank you Overbrook we will be back.

Reviewer: Gruinard 3 reviews from this member

 A lovely peaceful site in a great location and very welcoming and friendly staff.

Not having read all of the previous reviews we were disappointed with our 'non awning' pitch which was a bit tight for our motorhome. The toilets and showers, at least the gents, need a complete overhaul and an increase in the number of facilities. Other than that we would happily return to explore the surrounding area. 


Date of Visit: May 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: I8blades 63 reviews from this member

 The setting is excellent, on the edge of the village which is, taking it very easy 10 minutes walk away. There are two pubs which serve food(we didn't indulge). The drinks though were on the expensive side. I'd like to know where the locals go because there weren't many Yorkshire voices in either.

There is a chippie and a pizza/kebab shop and a few other shops selling general provisions. Nearby Pickering has more choice.

The site itself was immaculate and the owners very friendly. The toilets/showers were very clean although I think there should be a few more, 2 toilets and showers doesn't seem enough especially I should imagine in peak times.

There are plenty of walks off the site to take the dog, loads of public footpaths round and through nearby fields.

The north yorks moors and the coast are within easy reach and Pickering is the southern end of the North Yorks moors railway.

A very enjoyable stay and we would definitely go again

Reviewer: Hulluk1 2 reviews from this member

 A great site, the toilet block/showers were extremely clean and tidy. All other facilities, such as waste disposal; grey water disposal etc were easily accessible and clean. Park itself was kept immaculate, no litter anywhere and well kept pitches. A short, walk to the pituresque village of Thornton le Dale, which had a small supermarket and a couple of pubs. The owners were friendly and very helpful but not intrusive(this was our first outing as 'vanners'!). We will definitely be returning again soon!

Date of Visit: October 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Pcb123 11 reviews from this member

 Just had our first visit to Overbrook caravan park and hopefully it will not be the last. The owners are very welcoming and helpful, the facilities are spotless and modern and the location is ideal. Just a 15-20 min walk in to the village of Thornton le Dale which has everything you need and the classic car museum is well worth the 2 pound entrance fee !. We spent 4nights on the camp and didn't need to use the van for travel as the bus service from the village is very good. Referring to other reviews about pitch size we didn't have a problem but we only have a two berth van, and the facilities are all at the entrance to the camp so depending on what pitch you are put on there could be a bit of a walk. As I said we will hopefully go back.

Reviewer: Bevlino 4 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from our second visit in the last month to this site, and we have not been disappointed with anything.

The site is beautifully kept, the owners are very friendly & polite, the facilities are very good, the ladies shower block is probably one of the best I have visited.

We was given the same pitch on both visits and we are that impressed with it we will request the same one of future visits. There has been many previous reviewers saying that the pitches are not big enough. Not sure why, we had ample room for car & caravan and can only think that people are a little bit picky!

The site location is a massive plus too, 1/2 mile from the village centre, with a great fish & chips shop, supermarket, bakery & butchers.

The pubs are all good in their own way, we ate & drank in the New Inn & The Old Hall, and was very impressed with the food, beer & hospitality. We ventured in the Buck for the quiz which was also a pleasant experience.

The area is fantastic for walks and is a short drive away from Dalby Forest.

Overall we think Overbrook is a fantastic site, in a great area, and we will definitely be returning as soon as we can! 


Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Absurdbird 10 reviews from this member

 We spent a very pleasant 5 days at this site. It is a quiet, adults only site and the facilities are very clean and modern, if a bit of a walk from some of the pitches. There is pot-washing and laundry facilities which also houses the information hut.

The owners are very friendly and efficient, they had our caravan unhitched and on the pitch before you say knife! We were allocated a pitch and told the number on arrival. There is a security barrier operated by a card which permanently closed at night. The grounds are very well tended and have lovely flower beds and the pitches are fairly flat but quite small, there is a bit of grass between pitches but as you're very close to the main route round the site, it feels a bit odd to be sitting out there. There is no dog walk on the site but there is a public footpath a few yards up the road to the right, which goes through the woods and has a poo bin at the start. However, there was evidence that many people used the grass verges to the left to empty their dogs and left it there. There are no dog poo bins on the site. Having to be off by 11am on the last day was a bit of a rush. I also have to agree with Jimbouk about the wood pigeons – they are VERY noisy. One of them left a monster splat on our car, I thought a flying cow had gone over.

The walk through the woods is very pleasant and takes about 20 minutes to get to Thornton-le-Dale which is a pretty town with plenty of shops, pubs and cafes. The New Inn is dog-friendly and the food is ok and The Village Bakery has a very nice dog-friendly garden at the back with an undercover part. There are plenty of good walks to be done in the area, lots of paths through farmland and we also walked to Pickering one day through corn fields.

We loved the area and the site was very quiet and peaceful but I don't think we'll return due to the cramped feel of the pitches.

Reviewer: DaveyDave 26 reviews from this member

 Loved this site and the lovely picturesque village. Owners were very friendly and facilities were spot on. Had a meal in The Old Hall and it was fantastic with the owner exceptionally friendly.

The only small gripe is the caravans were a bit close together. If you get a pitch to the left of the site you get a much better view from your van.

Dog walk across the road is not really adequate, you're best to walk the dog through the woods as we did. Plenty of nice walks around and motor museum in the village is definitely worth a visit.

Will definitely go again.

Reviewer: Kay lloyd 1 review from this member

 Just got back from a 9 day break and what a wonderful time we had, this park has a location at the edge of the village where there are three pubs all doing great beer and wonderful food.

The site is very clean and tidy and well laid out, one way system makes it easy access. The staff are very friendly and helpful nothing seems too much trouble for them.

Pickering steam train, Dalby Forest, Edam Camp and much more very close by.

I would definitely recommend this park and will go back in the near future.
