Date of Visit: September 2012 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Ed786f 1 review from this member

 A well organised clean site. Toilet block clean also though grass a usual problem owing to grass cutting. Site very peaceful (in September) and well placed for Whitby and other tourist places further up the coast. Bus stop adjacent to site entrance with regular service along the coast to Middlesborough in the North and Whitby to the South. Only a small proportion of this large site is used for tourers. 


Date of Visit: August 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Bailey2006 1 review from this member

 Spent 2 weeks on this site, it is in a very good area with sea views from most pitches overlooking the golf course, the main Whitby to Sandsend road runs along in front of the site with a bus stop right outside the entrance. The site itself is quite large but it would appear that only about 20% of the pitches are true tourers the rest are seasonal residents, this is evident by the way they maintain their own pitch. The people are friendly and helpful, and stay on site, it is generally very quiet and relaxing.

The toilet/shower blocks are situated by the entrance and another in the centre of the site, these can become very messy when the weather is wet with grass because the mown grass is not collected so gets walked in. Both blocks need some upgrading/maintenance as there were some tiles missing in the showers, toilet cisterns loose from the walls and shower doors that did not open/close. The blocks are closed once a day for cleaning but this is not to a good standard, this is the only thing that lets this otherwise very good site down.

Local shops, takeaways and Whitby all within easy walking distance, making it perfect to park the car and explore, North Yorks Moors Railway goes from the town to Pickering for a day out. Whitby can be very busy at peak times so best leave the car behind. 


Date of Visit: August 2012 Unit:  Campervan
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Franbee 263 reviews from this member

 Reviewers -mature couple with campervan and bikes.

When I rang up the day before to book, the pleasant man on the phone said they were fully booked, but we were welcome to use a late arrivals pitch for the 2 nights we wanted, he explained it was a hard standing area. We willingly agreed to this.

The site is easy to find from the instructions on here. It is situated just outside the lovely town of Whitby, high above the sea, so you get sea views from many pitches. The pitches rise away from the front of the site, but appear to be flat. The site is set back from a main road which can be busy during the day, but quieter at night.

The pitch we were allocated was just past reception, on a car parking overflow area, but the pitches there are marked out and have EHU. It suited us fine, there was plenty of room to sit out at the side of the van.

We didn't walk round the rest of the site as it was completely full, my impression was of regimented rows of vans, but everyone was very friendly.

There are 2 sanitary blocks. The one near reception is older, but clean and functional. The other one is more modern, and has soap, hairdryers, hand dryers, very well appointed. The showers are controlled by the old coin box, now they are free but you need to press the button to get hot water. 1 press was just enough for a shower, hair washing took a second press. Washing up is in a separate room and has nice hot water.

If you walk across the road from the site and down the road a short way you pick up a path which takes you down to the beach. You can walk into Whitby along a promenade, or along the beach the other way.

Walking back towards town from the site you can find a Lidl and a garage with a shop.

Saw a tennis court on the site, and areas for children to play and dogs exercised, but no playground.

The price was moderately expensive, but probably what you should expect in August.

Reviewer: Maw747 2 reviews from this member

 This is an excellent site for many reasons! I would happily return here on my next visit to Whitby.

The site is large (2 fields), open (no dividing hedges between pitches) and an well maintained (clean facilities, recently painted buildings, good signage). Unfortunately there is no playground for younger children, but there is a free tennis court. The office holds some essential supplies, but lots of shops and supermarkets close by, so nobody needs to go hungry.

Fantastic access to one of the best beaches in the country, and just a pleasant stoll along the prom into the centre of Whitby!

The friendly, welcoming wardens can't do enough to help!

We were told that the 10 Amp electrics could trip, but no problems and our new caravan is kitted up with all the latest power happy equipment.

The site is very easy to find, just on the outskirts of Whitby. The excellent signage on the approach road means that you couldn't miss the entrance from either direction, and I am well known in my family for doing the 'Fly-By'!

Any areas for improvement. The site could consider upgrading the toilet/shower block. It was spotlessly clean, but it looks a bit dated.

Reviewer: Jingleberry 1 review from this member

 We have just returned from our 4th stay at sandfield house the pitches are great and shower/toilet block is good.

The dog walk area is very good all fenced in so you can let your dogs off the leads with no worries.

The walks into whitby are excellent if you can walk down hills but not very good going back up there is a lift with a small charge at west cliff.

The local shops are well stocked and only two minutes by car from the site.

The only thing that I would change about the site is the arrival times you have to be off the site by 11am which is very good but the next people coming on are also allowed on at 11am giving not one moments overlap time so the next people moving onto our pitch were shown on at 10-45am they parked right next to us got out of their car stood watching us pack our belongings away for the next 15 minutes making us feel very uncomfortable we think that the coming on time should be 12 o'clock this would also give the man cutting the grass time to cut where the van stood.

But we had a fantastic time we will be back next year and if we win the lottery we will buy a big house on west cliff

Reviewer: Emie 3 reviews from this member

 This was our 2nd visit to this park. Really friendly staff, nice and clean hot showers and toilets, perhaps not the most modern.

Lovely view of the sea and only a 10 to 15 mins walk to the gorgeous Whitby. Just 2 mins in the car down the road is a little supermarket and takeaway (though we never used the takeaway) and just five mins by car into whitby for the best fish and chips ever.

Can't wait to return very soon. 


Date of Visit: September 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Yvonne763 3 reviews from this member

 We spent a 4 night break here in our motorhome and on arrival we received a warm welcome, site map and access code for the barrier.

Our pitch was level hard standing, spacious and with ehu. There were some pitches on a slope, but we couldn't tell if these were being stored or in use. It's a big site but there is plenty of room between pitches.

The toilets and showers were spotless and the showers were free and lovely and warm.

A bit of a hike to and from the town centre but there is a bus stop right outside the site so we took the bus down to Whitby one day and to Robin Hood's Bay another to give us a break from all that walking! The path from the site to town along the cliffs is grand - even in a howling gale!

Will be visiting there again next year for sure.

Reviewer: Nutkins666 1 review from this member

 Just spent two weeks at this site and I would really recommend it. Very quiet and peaceful site that has all the bases covered.

Toilet facilities are all that we needed, nothing spectacular but everything worked with plenty of hot water and no queues for the showers.

Staff were efficient and site seemed well managed with everyone following site rules, no unruly kids/loud music etc. Dog walking area ideal, playing field for kids and a tennis court which our kids loved for something a bit different.

Lovely 5 minute walk down gently sloping hill to beach that is easy for a pushchair (dogs allowed on that section of beach and all the way along to Whitby main beach).

Lovely walks to Whitby and Sandsend and you aren't far from Robin Hoods Bay/ Staithes / Runswick which are great for rockpooling.

Most pitches have sea views and are level with plenty of space for an awning and a car.

However, it is a bit exposed so if you do have an awning you need to strap it down well, three awnings blew down during our stay.

Fish and Chip van comes on Friday and Sunday evening, but there are plenty of takeaways only two minutes from site. Costcutter/Lidl/Spar/Esso only two mins drive away.

Would definitely go again due to easy access to beach and Whitby and tranquillity of site.

Reviewer: Hemlin 3 reviews from this member

 Excellent place this the owners are very helpful and friendly, I will be back. The only snag, my sat nav was a bit out, when entering Whitby turn left at the garage near the roundabout as I went down a narrow windy road, and the nav said destination on the left ? So I kept going and came out on the Sandsend road - so I turned right and I was right on it. Near bus stop to Whitby, walkway to the Cleveland way

Coded barrier for security and code changed on a regular basis. Electric points on all the pitches bar one (ours) number 40 but they hooked us up to a point 20 feet away so no problem 


Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Frank3447 2 reviews from this member

 This is a good site close to the beach 5-10 mins with a lovely walk into Whitby town with all it's charm or the other way down to Sandsend this is ideal for kids.

There are a few shops and cafe's etc. On site there is a dog walking area, Tennis court and a couple of toilet blocks which I feel could do with a re-furb!.

An ice cream van turns up now and again as does the fish&chip van.

The site is quiet with good views towards the sea and a golf links opposite.

There are some good pubs serving great food (and beer)around.

I would use this site again next time we are touring in this area.

Reviewer: Stepperdoc 24 reviews from this member

 Have just returned from a one week stay at this site and have a number of comments that may be helpful to others wishing to use the facility.

Plus Points

1. Well kept grass areas and hardstandings.

2. Plenty of water and grey waste disposal areas

3. Easy to find as the site is just outside Whitby on the A174

4. Great location with good sea views and in a quiet area

5. Plentiful supply of free hot water in showers / sinks / washing up and laundry areas

6. Shops, pubs and take-aways within a very short distance of the site

7. Just a 20 minute walk along the seafront (or beach if the tide is out) to either Sandsend village or Whitby town centre.

Negative points

1. The mains 10A supply trip switch is not accessible so any problem after 7PM will not be rectified until after 9AM (unless there is an unused supply close to your pitch)

2. Grey water and fresh water areas are located side-by-side and are not well identified. It was possible for the dirty water to run into the clean area.

3. It was necessary to use a levelling ramp even on the hardstanding.

4. Very poor TV reception with a standard caravan set-up. Take and external aerial or satellite dish

5. The main toilet area and showers were always very scruffy and only seemed to get the absolute minimum of cleaning. The shower partitions were particularly grubby.

6. The staff seemed to be non-existent as we never saw anyone other than the grass cutter.

I'm not sure when this site was last reviewed but at the moment it is certainly not the 5 star site it is advertised to be, imo.

Although the site has its faults, it is still a site I would go back to simply for the location.

Reviewer: Wacablue 3 reviews from this member

 We booked this site expecting it only to have 50 pitches. It has over 200. 150 of them are seasonal and thank goodness we were not there in peak or I think it would have been unbearable.

Site well kept but far too many caravans for the size of the site and if you are trying to use the toilets and showers after 8. 30am you will see why I say this and the majority of residents were not there during my stay.

Owners are very nice and keep and run it well keeping it neat and tidy, pity the staff didn't have the same attitude. On arrival they put us on the worst pitch possible for a twin axle caravan and when we pointed this out and asked how would we get van off the site (due to the way the caravans are pitched there is no room to manoeuvre) we were told use a motor mover. Our van is not fitted with one!

The 3 other sites that were free beside us were booked so we couldn't go on to those! Other caravanners helped us move van off site the day before we left after talking to owner it was decided to move as rain was forecast and it would have been impossible and dangerous to move on wet grass.

Walking distance to beach down path beside golf course.

Good location to Whitby but I won't be back

Reviewer: Petra8315 26 reviews from this member

 Just got back from sandfield house, had three night stay during whit week,

Really enjoyed the site, good free showers very clean, seems to be more sited tourers there but not a problem,

Nice walk down to beach and nice walk into whitby our dog enjoyed playing in the rock pools,

There is also a pub just 10 mins walk from site and there beer garden joins up to the golf course,

Its also dog friendly, didn't see any children's play area but they have got a field set aside with goal post's,

Would definitely go back to this site when we do a return trip to whitby

Reviewer: Digger65 1 review from this member

 4th year we have stayed here for the May bank hols, great site, can get a bit windy as it's very open. Loos very clean and we had hot showers at all time. Very nice staff. Easy walk into Whitby ( 20mins ) Bus stop at end of drive. The Hart in Sandsend is a MUST for Sunday dinner, but get their by 11.45am Large field for kids to kick a ball around, we had a game of rounders. Dog walk just off site and a path down to the beach. 


Date of Visit: April 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Motoromer 2 reviews from this member

 This site is ace, a good walk to whitby on the beach front but do-able in 40 mins,

Friendly well run site with good security and good shower block - toilets, dog field for the doggie people !

Overall a good site with good views of the coast line and the golf course.

We have been about 3 times now and will be going back later in the year.

Prices for this year have gone up.
