Just like everyone else says, the facilities are basic. But we were informed of this when booking and chatting to the owners.
The toilets are clean and fresh towels were provided. We were given a choice of where to pitch our caravan.
The site had fantastic views of Whitby Abbey. Although we were pleased it was far enough away from Whitby to be peaceful for us as new campers and with 2 dogs who'd also never camped so we were unsure how they would be.
We had ample space and would definitely go back again as it's a great base to visit the area.
Just spent a fantastic 2 weeks here at Lound house we actually on booked for 1week but after we had pitched and had a chance too take in the view we booked too stay for 2 weeks that's how good the view and surroundings are
As said in previous posts the site is basic 3 toilets and hand wash that's you're lot but it's all clean and tidy fresh towels at hand basin regularly
Good sized pitches we had a partial hard standing but the grass ones are of same size and all the ground drains really well slight slopes fore and aft also side too side but nothing too stress about, , 16 amp hook up if required
There's not really a lot for kids on site but as we don't have any and there was no kids on site when we were I can't comment about the allowance of ball games etc (I will give a9 score because there is room too play and it's quiet )
As I have already said the view across fields too Whitby is stunning day or night !
If you want a lovely site with piece and tranquility this is for you
Booked only a couple of days before and was warned about the basic facilities. No problems as long as there is a toilet and cold running water the dog and I can usually cope.
Arrived and had a tour from Mrs Farmer and advised about the more sheltered locations of the site. Then had much fun pitching a tent in a fairly stiff breeze (the white horses were mighty Clydesdale's not little Ponies). Got up once in the night to have a walk round and check the pegs were all still in the ground and anchoring us down as I was convinced the breeze had got under the groundsheet and shifted us a couple of inches down the tent. All still in place - phew!
Second night the wind had dropped and we were treated to spectacular acrobatic displays by the swallows and swifts and then later on by the bats and I do remember hearing foxes barking in the middle of the night.
Yes it is a very basic site.
Yes it is exposed, you are almost on the top of the hill and get hit by every little bit of weather going.
But.
The views are spectacular.
The ground is very even and the ground appears to be free from those nasty chunks of stone and rock that do so like to bend tent pegs.
The owners are friendly and helpful
The facilities are clean and fresh towels appear daily.
There is a good collection of information leaflets if you need them.
The view from the site is worth way more than the £10 per night I was charged for 1 human, 1 dog and a 3 person tent.
Will I be going back? Yes - but probably not until late next spring the weather has a good chance of being reasonably fine.
Stayed for a long weekend and I can only really confirm previous reviews. Very helpful and friendly lady running the site who gave us a choice of pitches big enough for our Tag axle with views over the hills to Whitby, spectacular!.
Weather was kind so we even had a BBQ but you could see it was exposed, which is part of the beauty. Local pub Wilsons Arms good food but too far to walk and a hill coming back so a slog on a bike.
As mentioned facilities at best basic but very clean. With water tap within hose reach we used our own.
Ideal for a quiet spot to just stop and relax. Not really a site to keep the kids entertained, but plenty to do in the local area.
Agree with previous review. Fabulous views & very helpful owners. Level and beautifully kept.
Am new to motorhome/campervan experience, but felt £18 for two adults, two dogs & campervan, bit steep for one night, given no hot water, washing up sink, nor showers.
This is an excellent quiet site for local touring. We have just spent four days here, it fully accommodated our tag axle burstner at 28ft. Lady owner very very helpful, kept our camping party together. Advise campers to take torch for toilets at night, as a 3ft stone drainage pit in middle of site could cause you damage, as no lights in field at night, also you need to find light switch for toilet which is in past the toilets. Site very clean. Toilets have fresh towels daily. Fab views over coast. Can get very windy so peg your your unit down well. Boating lake in village at bottom of hill outside the site. Few mins drive to whitby. We were parked next to the road, , this was a very quiet road, used but no noise or night traffic. Only downfall was no shower, but hey, this is camping, few days top and tail won't hurt. Plenty of hook ups and cold water points. Site was as flat as could be, for being a farm, on a hill. Flat enough for poor mobility. Magazines and DVDs in loos to share for campers. Toilets are mixed use, with another in small shed at side of house. Three toilets in all, , no one was ever standing waiting. There were small children on site but everyone was off site during the day as there is plenty to do, nothing on site for kid's that's what you are looking for, a tyre swing only. But, who wants to go on a break and sit on site daily. We went to Music fest in whitby, , Scarborough. Robin hood bay, steam train. Loads to do if you look for it. We had 2 labs with us, dog walk up the side of field opposite on scrub can be used. Thanks to nice farmer. At night when whitby and surrounding area is lit, you can see it all, , plus ships. Next time we head for Yorkshire, we'll be heading for this site. This site is excellent for all ages, , unless you are a party animal, then find a commercial site as campers were very friendly and 'quiet'. Thanks to the owners for making everyone feel welcome. You won't find stuffy wardens at this site, only friendly helpful farm owners.
Just returned from our weekend at lound house farm. This site is fantastic, basic facilities which are just a couple of toilets but they are kept very clean. The lady owner shows you to your pitch and is very friendly and helpful. The views from the site are brilliant and there are lots of nice walks around for the kids and dogs! Its also not far into whitby and we spent a very busy day there with the kids. The feel of the site is very peaceful and people who stay there seem to respect that. We were very pleased with this site from start to finish and would recommend it to anyone who likes the quiet life! The only downside to this site is that you don't want to go home! We are already planning our next visit, kids can't wait !
We have just come back from camping at this site for one night. We were looking for a site last minute and close to Whitby, we found the site quite and only 4 mile taxi ride into Whitby which was about £8 down n the same back up
We found the site was well maintained, flat ground and the owner very helpful. She did explain there was only two toilets, no showers, n only cold water which we were fine with as we only stopped for one night. There was lots space to put tent up, park the car, etc and we would return. But if you went with children you would have to take games and things to entertain them. But for the price we paid we were well impressed
This site is situated about 3 miles out of Whitby, high up on the hills and has stunning views of Whitby and the coast.
This is a farm site and centred around a working farm. The farm buildings form a square at the centre of the site with the pitches located around the edges. The farm buildings are fairly dilapidated; there are piles of rubble, stone and slate, there are barns with half the roof missing etc. However the caravan site and the pitches are well maintained and there is a very peaceful feel to the site.
Around half the pitches are hardstanding and around half have uninterrupted views. The site isn't an adult only site but there are very limited facilities and things to do for children.
The hardstandings are of gravel and only wide enough for a caravan, not a car and caravan. There are very limited facilities on this site; there is no shop, there is no restaurant, there are no showers.
There are two toilets, and others have commented on them. They are located in one of the barns. Do not expect toilets from a 5 star hotel. You will be sorely disappointed. They are in a barn; stone floors, roughcast walls, dead daddy-long legs, cobwebs, rusty hinges, old barn doors etc. However the actual toilet bowls are kept clean and if you reset your expectations then you will find they are perfectly adequate. There is one wash basin with cold water only.
Most (if not all) pitches have access to electric hookup and there is a chemical disposal point. There are various fresh water points and at the time of our visit, daffodils were out - they had been thoughtfully placed around the site. I never found a grey waste point and when I asked another caravanner he indicated that it was ok to run it into the hedges.
Given the site is high on a hill, I believe it is a windy site. It was windy every day of our visit and others have commented in these reviews on it too. So you get the views but it is exposed. In fact we arrived in a howling gale and had to pitch with the wind whipping car doors out of our hands etc. Interesting! However once sorted we sat back with a glass of red wine and watched the daylight fade over the coast and Whitby slowly start to twinkle in the dusk. Magical.
TV reception was very poor but this could have been due to the windy weather. There are no dog walks on site, but there are various walks into fields just across the road from the site entrance and the farmer (not sure if same one) has kindly left a decent margin around his crops with open access too - so you can walk your dog for quite a way off the road (the small road is surprisingly busy). Further up the road there is access to a bridleway that provides further dog walking, plus from the bottom of the site there is access through the fence to the lower field which also has some options for dog walking.
We ate at the Passage To India in Whitby. Really excellent Indian food and very good value. We also ate at the Ming Palace, Chinese in Whitby. Decidedly average. Finally we ate at the Stables pub/restaurant just outside Whitby on the A171. Exceptional food albeit a little on the pricey side. Booking advisable.
Overall we had a really fantastic time on this site - it has a great feel to it and for us provided the perfect balance between the two extremes of; a large commercial site with lots of facilities and an empty field with fresh water. The views are to die for and we will definitely return.
My husband and I spent a lovely 3 days at this idyllic site. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and walked us around the site, showing us the available pitches and benefits of each.
We had a lovely hard standing pitch, lots of space and a great view of Whitby. The grass was well kept, and Willy cut the grass before we erected our awning.
We successfully locked ourselves out of our caravan and Willy came to our rescue, he dismantled the door window, to enable us to undo the lock and he carefully put this back again.
We were so grateful for his practical help. A site I would definitely recommend, 4 miles from Whitby. Very chillaxing.
