Just had 3 nights here. A nice well kept and tidy site 4 miles from whitby. Less than 10 mins. To bus stops for whitby or Scarborough directions. Lovely views. Clean and warm shower and toilet block with large roomy shower cubicles. Hot water in shower by push botton but not a problem. £10 per night for 2 adults. E. H. U. Was by card sold at site shop and for 3 nights and two full days, with heating on. It only cost about £9.
Not bad at all because it WAS cold weather. We got a good level pitch and others looked just as good. Friendly and helpful staff.
Just 1 point, we did see a dog running loose and there was dog dirt but this may have been the fault of an inconsiderate dog owner.
Fantastic site. There is something for everyone here, statics, seasonals, tourers, hardstandings and campers.
We booked the morning of our stay, we were met at reception by friendly faces who took details and directed us to the touring area we were able to choose any vacant pitch. Here we were met by a friendly gent who filled our water tank, directed us into our chosen pitch and even inserted the prepaid electric card, so great service all round. The electric cards are a great idea as we would be happy to pay £5 a night for hook up in winter, this worked out as £5 for stay which was two nights but 3 days as we arrived at 2 on the first night and didn't leave until 11 on the last day, we had the heating on all the time we were on site so great value.
The location of the site is fantastic close to Whitby & Robin Hoods Bay, great access to the coast and the moors via footpaths too.
The toilets & showers were warm and clean.
We didn't visit the hotel as we ran out of time but we will definitely do so when we visit again, the menu was displayed outside and looked extensive.
We really like this site and use it frequently. Its set nicely on a quiet hillside with great views of the Esk valley and equi-distance between the historic town of Whitby and beautiful Robin Hoods Bay. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff here, Good facilities with friendly family bar, kids games room, outside play area, dog friendly and best of all - perfectly placed for the Cinder path cycle way from Whitby to Scarborough (a little tough in stretches but more than makes up for it with the scenery)
Just had 4 good days at this site. Lady in reception was very helpful. We were met by what I guess was the site handy man who showed us to our pitch and helped us get our caravan into place.
The bar in the hotel was nice and tidy and reasonable prices, we did eat in the restaurant one night, food was good, however they had no soup for starters and the first 2 dishes the wife wanted they had not got either. I guess we'd caught them out as it was straight after the queens jubilee weekend.
Toilet block was nice and clean.
All in all very good value for money, will return if in the area
We returned here as a large group having stayed last year for the royal jubilee. We had 4 caravans and 2 tents and all stayed in the pony field as a group booking.
Manager Steve remembered us immediately from the previous year and gave us a great welcome.
Many of us had dogs and I can honestly say I have never stayed at a site that has such great dog walking facilities. Away from the main area though if your not a dog lover!
It was good to see improved waste disposal facilities on last year which were really needed.
Our daughter who is coming up to 16 really enjoyed the large games room playing pool and generally hanging around with others of her own age.
There is also a large play area for younger kids which we did not use but looks good.
I have read the comments about the prices, they are not the cheapest or the most expensive but you will smuggle to find a team of happier or more helpful staff, whether you are on the campsite or in the hotel.
The location is beautiful with no road noise for a lovely nights sleep.
We ate as a group of 15 on the last night in the restaurant and there were no complaints from anyone. Lovely.
I again have been informed that they are awaiting planning for an updated shower block.
We enjoyed ourselves that we have added our name to their long list of people wanting a seasonal pitch here.
We would definitely return to this site. We stayed here for a long weekend and we were fortunate with the weather as it was sunny or cloudy but dry.
When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly owner. We were shown where to go and he was very helpful.
I think the facilities on this site are great for what we needed having both children and dogs. The playing field is very large and a fantastic area for families to play on. The playground area looked quite small but there was a constant flow of children using it (the swings squeaked constantly).
The games room seems quite popular and has pool tables, a ping pong table and another table game. It also has 1 fruit machine and a sweets dispensing machine.
The dog walking field is excellent for dogs. Again it is very large and well fenced in, although the entrance is open to the campsite. At the top of the field is a lovely view of the sea in the distance - very pretty. The field was quiet when we used it.
The toilet block was clean, warm and relatively modern. We did not use the showers. The water taps were close to our caravan so filling up was reasonably quick. The waste water area was a little further away.
The shop was small and could be better stocked but it had everything we wanted, which admittedly wasn't much. We ate in the hotel one night and the food was very nice. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
We didn't leave the campsite but some of our party went to Robin Hoods Bay. I agree with others that you need a car to visit places.
Overall, I found this site to be very child-friendly and dog-friendly and we felt relaxed during our stay.
Just got back from a 3 night stay at York House Hotel & Caravan park, where we took our dog and stayed in our tent, the tent pitches where very good, nice grassed area with water tap & electric hook up (if wanted & we did) which also had a light at side of pitch, quite private as well,
the area we were in had a few tents already pitched for a very hot weekend, everybody at the park are very friendly & polite, lovely views all round,
we were about 4 miles outside Whitby, 2 miles from Robin Hoods Bay & 17 miles from Scarborough, great we visited all above with the dog (he loved it on beach at Robin Hoods Bay & Scarborough, where dogs are allowed on).
The toilets & showers were clean & tidy (you had to run water in shower for a bit to get shower hot, no problem), you were provided with a code to enter the site (this also enabled you access to the shower/toilet block).
Camp shop was a bit basic & possibly could be improved with supplies.
Dog walking area supplied is brilliant a large field provided to exercise the dog (enclosed).
Children's play area, well we didn't use this, but some kids were using it (climbing frame/swings)they seemed happy.
One place we did use was the Hotel bar, what very good value for money (cheaper beer than home)polite young man & young lady behind the bar,
We sat outside with the dog (weather fantastic).
We visited the pub down the road because a review said it was dog friendly & nice (shame lad behind bar wasn't & we didn't like the pub, well that wouldn't have mattered they didn't have Carling, camp site DID).
Would we recommend this Camp site YES, YES, YES, we intend visiting it again(weather permitting).
Just got back from a Monday to Friday at a very reasonable £10 a night,
Staff are very friendly and helpful,
Toilets very clean but gents had a bit of a smell when running the taps,
The bar is ok but could be better with a bit of entertainment for the kids,
The only shop is on site or you have to travel to whitby,
The pub over the road is small but the food was really good, we went on steak night, £28 a couple and a bottle of wine, one of the biggest stakes I have had.
Overall its a good site but you do need a car to get about
Following a 5 day visit to the site, I can say I would return,
The pitch size was extra large which I was happy about as I paid extra for my tent, the ground was flattish but could be better.
The pub was good and the staff on site are extremely friendly,
The shop was poor in it's content but not an issue really,
The ladies said their toilet block was clean but the mens needed a good scrub and the toilets being located in the same room as the sinks and showers was poor in design,
Same with the washing up area, two sinks and one drain board was pretty poor.
All in all an average site which I would return to, but due to the price they charge for the pleasure, not as a first choice.
Visited for a weekend and found the staff really friendly and helpful. We were shown to our pitch which was very close to the pub on the site. The pitch was quite tight although there was plenty of room at the front of our tent which gave us a feeling of space. We did not notice the noise from the pub too much which it is open from 8am til 11pm.
The toilet block was very clean and I had no trouble getting a shower at 8am even with a very full site. We did however have to queue to use the pot washing facilities housed in the shower block between the ladies and gents. The site appears to be very well managed.
The surrounding area is fantastic with lovely views especially along the cinder track between Hawsker and Robin Hoods Bay. There is a cycle hire place close by so that you can choose between cycling or walking the track.
It is the most expensive site we have stayed at but the beautiful weather and helpfulness of the chap with the jeep (jumped started our car which had a flat battery) made up for this.
Like before us we arrived on site to discover that the £25 per night fee we had been quoted on the phone did not include electric. We had to pay an additional £5 per night. It was a very expensive five night stay, especially considering the facilities on site.
There is a small shower block which was always busy as the site was full. The chemical toilet disposal is just a man-hole cover that you lift up, very unhygienic. Very smelly and very hard as you are bending - also no proper facility to empty waste on motorhome.
There is several basic taps for filling water etc. Not enough facilities for the size of the site though. The shop stocks very basic supplies. The staff are very friendly.
There seem to be a few caravans that are on permanent pitches and were a bit intimidating when passing. Felt as though we were on their 'turf' so to speak. Not many adhered to the 10pm quiet rule and this was not policed. There were also some noisy dogs. One of which was directly opposite us and whined all the time as it did not like being tied up.
The pitches are close together we felt crowded and set on very small gravel patches, not what could be classed as proper hard-standing. Once we opened our pull out awning it was impinging on next door. If we would have been a full size closed awning we would have stepped out the door and touched the van next to us very tight fit and when the evening drew in we could hear the family in the next van chatting in their awning and hear their TV.
Dogs are allowed on site but not in the pub, there is a gazebo set up outside - not the best if it's cold or raining.
There is a wonderful pub in the village though called the Hare and Hounds, amazing place, great food and jolly staff, plus they let dogs in no problem. Book early if you want to eat in the Hare and Hounds restaurant as very busy. Fabulous food average £9 a meal but really nice atmosphere.
The site is OK if you spend your days out walking the wonderful coastal paths between Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay, and Cinder track nearby. The staff on site are the saving grace, very helpful and friendly. All in all a beautiful area but overpriced and too squashed in
Facilities good and kept clean all the time we were there and the site was very busy.
The bar had a couple of games of bingo during our stay, again we were made to feel very welcome.
Take away meals from the hotel very good quality.
Shop well stocked and it was great that you could order your morning paper for the next day.
The actual pitch we were on was a little cramped but we had good neighbours all around us so no troubles on that account.
I did think the fee was a little high and I also felt a little disappointed at having to buy an electric card for £5 but only used approx £2. 40 worth of electric during my stay.
Great dog walk field and excellent location for Whitby.
No grey water waste drain for a motorhome and the lack of a full facility to empty the chemical toilet (just an drain in a large hole under a metal cover with no flush or water supply at present) badly let the site down for us but I have been told they are in the process of installing these features. How long has this site been open though, shouldn't they have had them by now?
We will return, the staff made up for any lack of draining facilities
We've just returned from our family camping week at York House caravan park. Fantastic location
On arrival we were met by friendly staff who showed us to our pitch.
The tent area itself was split into 3 sections.
We were on the first level for electric tent pitches with the main camping field being at the top of the hill.
Facilities - the toilet block was clean, 3 toilets and 4 showers, I never had to queue. There was a laundry room with 2 sinks, a washing machine and dryer. Wi-fi is available but it's not free as stated, it costs £7. 50 per 4 nights, and the connection was not available all the time
There is a kids playground, but it was very basic There was a big field next to the playground for ball games etc. And a very good dog walking field.
The site has a shop it is very small and only sold the most basic items. There was also a games room with pool table, table tennis table and a couple of arcade games.
There was also a small bar open til 11 although to my disappointment they would not let dogs in, they did say the bar served meals but when we arrived and tried to order food we were told they did not serve food, although the hotel did we made other arrangements at the fantastic Hare and Hounds pub across the road which sold very good food, has a large beer garden and dogs are more than welcome.
Security seemed good with an electric barrier on the entry and a code for the toilet block. The staff drove round in a jeep at about 10pm as well to check on everything.
Overall, York house is one of the most expensive in the area, amenities for the tariff are very basic and should be better.
My total cost was £135. 50 for 4 days.
Would I return, No I don't think so, I would try other sites first. Despite the fantastic location
Just spent a weekend at Yorkhouse. Nice site and the staff are wonderful, very helpful and friendly. The pitch was a very poor hard standing and you are quite close to your neighbours but we didn't encounter any noise or problems for being so close, probably visa versa.
Specified barbecue points, good idea.
Didn't use the play area, but lots did and looks fun, nor the emptying points so cant comment on them. The toilet block for the ladies is very good with 6 loos and 4 showers, wish I could say the same for the gents.
Three toilets, one with a broken seat and one that filled up with water when you flushed it. There are notices up from the owner saying about refurbs so perhaps this is something that will be sorted. Also very little ventilation ie no opening windows which were dirty with cob webs and grime. Laundry come dish wash area. What can I say - two sinks and only one had a draining board. This also housed the hair dryer and the room is very small to accommodate washing machine, dryer, sinks etc, needless to say the Qs' are long.
Re electric we were given the option of paying for a pound card or all inclusive, so perhaps if you are long stay they charge you the extra inc EHU.
Never went in the pub but plenty did as we went to the Hare and Hounds 10 mins away. Could be a better site with more improvements but we still enjoyed ourselves.
