 We first visited Sandfield House Farm in April the weekend before Easter and enjoyed The friendly welcome and great facilities so much we returned again for two weeks.It is brilliantly situated 1mile from Whitby in one direction and Sandsend in the other, so you can have quieter Sandsend or bustling Whitby.Sandfield is well laid out. A tad windy at times,so awning erection can be tricky with just two people. Beautiful location, well worth a visit.

 This is an excellent site, the staff were friendly, informative and helpful. We were very grateful to them for freezing our freezer packs as we don't have an electric hookup.

Good facilities i.E. Showers, toilets, washing up and laundry all nicely kept. Doesn't have a shop but there is one within walking distance.

It's a great base for visiting Whitby, only 5 minutes walk to a huge sandy beach on which you can walk all the way to Whitby paddling as you go. If the sea is right in you can walk along the promenade.

 We had a week at this lovely site, where do I start?

The site owners are friendly but not intrusive, they show you to your pitch and fill you in on local info.

There is a bus stop right outside the site or lovely walks into Whitby or Sandsend (1 mile either way) along the beach, prom, cliff top paths or via the road on footpath. The beach cafe just before you get to Sandsend is really nice.

It is five minutes to the beach straight accross the road from the site down a gentle sloping tarmac no through road, between the golf course. When the sea is out it leaves shallow pools which are a great place for kids to play.

There are several dog friendly pubs within walking distance, the White house hotel has an extensive menu at reasonable prices, steak night, quiz night etc a beer garden with sea views and the staff are very welcoming.

There are a parade of shops along the road towards Whitby with an 8 til Late, Pizza takeaway, chip shop, etc.

The facilities on site are dated but clean and were always tidy, and well stocked with paper, the showers were always hot, there is a free hairdryer to use.

I didn't use the washing/drying room but it looked clean and tidy.

I didn't see any play equipment though there is very large field with mown grass where children can play. There is another field which is used as a dog walk.

Most of the pitches are level hardstanding, surrounded by grass, they do seem to vary as to how much space you get in between each unit, we didn't put up an awning but if we had it would have been a little tight. I would advise if you have a large awning to say so on booking.

Someone mentioned in a review, the grass being cut and not picked up, yes this was the case and if wet might have been annoying, but there was always someone strimming or mowing so I would imagine it is a full time job to keep the site nice and tidy. I think a bit of loose grass a small price to pay.

You get daily visitors too! ducks freely roam around and are very tame, one day whilst sitting out we had ten all come an settle down with us in the sun, sometimes the odd chiken would come too. One pair of ducks came every evening to drink from the dogs bowl.

All in all we liked this site, mainly because of it's position, we didn't need to use the car everything we wanted was within walking distance.

Reviewer: Missmoneypenny 15 reviews from this member

 This is a very well placed site for motorhomers as there are shops and places to eat within a mile ( and the fish and chips in Whitby are so good!) We were warmly greeted by the owners who showed us to a small pitch.As we were with friends it didn't really matter that we were parked so close to them but if we hadn't been, we wouldn't have liked being so close to neighbours.

We had a glimpse of sea from our pitch and we had a lovely weekend- but rather shorter than normal due to the non negotiable 'Vacate pitch by 11am'- on a Sunday.! Granted, it is a busy site and we accepted the owner's reasoning but I don't think we'll be returning. As it was , we packed and left at 10.15am, drove to the Hole of Horcum, parked up and had brunch looking out at fabulous scenery.

10 amp electric is fine for summer but might be inadequate if it gets really cold. It was nice to see hens and ducks running about the site.Took me back to the days when it really was a farm site.

 We love Whitby and this site, we have visited several times now and will definitely visit again. It's well kept, spotlessly clean and within walking distance of the beach, Whitby centre and Sandsend. If the weather's iffy and you prefer to ride, there is a bus stop to Whitby by the park gates.

The staff are helpful but not intrusive. You are met and escorted to your pitch and are given information leaflets. Regarding a previous comment, this is a very busy, well run site and I can understand why they are sometimes strict about vacating the pitches on time, so that they can cut the grass etc ready for the next arrival. Perhaps they have an option to pre-book a late stay? I've just had to do that on a large site in York, though I appreciate that some smaller sites don't bother about rushing you off if they've no-one else coming on.

The site has security, with a keypad gate.

Some pitches have sea views but, being a large site which goes back from the sea, some don't. There are pubs with food within walking distance and shops a minute's drive away.

My only gripe is that this fab site is not open for the whole of the October Goth Weekend, its licence ends that weekend which means you have to leave on the Sunday morning, before the end of the events. For this occasion we have to use another site so that we can stay until Monday, which is a shame.

 We have been using this site now for several years.I must say the location is perfect for Whitby.

The site is very well presented and looked after.

The staff are really friendly and happy to help.My one and only gripe is that the shower blocks are dated but they are clean.

I would highly recommend this site as its close to the beach and within walking distance of whitby.

Also would be nice to have a park for the children.

Reviewer: Ash1422 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a week at this truly wonderful caravan park. The staff were very helpful and obviously take great pride in their site that they maintain to a very high standard. The location is absolutely excellent with super views over the golf course to the sea! The ground is super for pegging down the awnings and the site is very quite of an evening.
The walk from the site down to the beach takes 5 minutes and then you can take the promenade to Whitby( which is a lovely town but a bit like Blackpool with Dracula!) or walk along the beautiful beach to Sandsend and have a drink in the lovely pub or just get an icecream.
We were lucky enough to be blessed with wonderful weather but I have to say this area is an absolutely beautiful part of this fine country and should be visited by all.

In conclusion; a wonderful site with excellent facilities and great local walks. Will definitely re-visit.

Reviewer: Jueandave 2 reviews from this member

 This was our first visit to this site and we found it very pleasant indeed. The site has beautiful sea views and well spaced pitches. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The shower and toilet block was spotless. Just one small complaint we thought after paying £17.50 per night to be asked to pay a further £1.50 to use our wind out awning off our motorhome a bit excessive.

However we would recommend this site and will use again if ever we are up that way

Reviewer: Pudding 4 reviews from this member

 This site offers an unrivalled position, high on the cliff overlooking the sea and within walking distance to Whitby along the sea wall.

However, we were disappointed with the site this time round. The owners were friendly enough but the site lacked attention to detail and has a few problem areas. The toilet block although dated is adequate although could have been cleaner. Stains up toilet doors remained throughout the week as did muck and dust in corners and surfaces. Water pressure was poor and even worse when someone flushes the loo while you are in the shower.
Hot water was also a problem, just not enough of it. Toilet emptying point was a disgrace. Lack of cloths for wiping down sinks after use. Showers on a timer although free, a pain to keep getting out and pressing the button. Grey water containers can only be emptied and cleaned at the drinking water tap / sink.

The site is kept to a reasonable standard, although much of the site is given over to annual lets, the hard standings are far to small for the longer van, resulting in untidy grass around the permanent pitches, electricity kept going off. Did not see mower, but would guess a grass box may not have been used as grass everywhere

Having said this, it is quite reasonable at £14 and £17.50 over the weekend. A little more thought and attention to cleanliness would improve this site.

Reviewer: Asjs 2 reviews from this member

 Visited near end of October. A very clean and tidy site. Very handy for the golf course which is opposite the site. We was sited near to the entrance due to the size of our motorhome, but it did not cause any problems.We were treated to magnificent views.

The toilet blocks where clean and tidy.

There is a nice walk from the site along the sea front to the town of Whitby.

We would recommend the site to any touring golfers, however be warned the golf course is not easy to play if you are a novice.

 Just visited this caravan site and it is excellent I wish we could have stayed longer. Pitches are all hard standing and the toilet blocks are very clean. The staff are very helpful, the site is also kept very clean and tidy.
A lovely walk to whitby along the sea front about a mile or a mile the other way to sands end or if you prefer golf, golf course just across the road. Also if you visit the white house pub ten mins walk you get a lovely pint and a nice bar meal. Definitely going back next year.

Reviewer: Nosha 34 reviews from this member

 Got the last pitch at 7:00pm on a wet June night, the lady however couldn't have been more helpful! Lovely site in a lovely location. The only 'fault' I would raise is that we moved 3 times in 4 nights! As the lady was 'ruled' by her computer! e.G. She couldn't put the new people coming in on the vacant pitch next door 'as the computer said' they were booked on ours so we moved next door.

But apart from that it was well priced, very clean for such a full site, sea views and nice staff - WILL use again! (if the computer says we can!)

Reviewer: Benidorm 3 reviews from this member

 Just got back from 3 days at Sandfield. Really friendly welcome and we got personally shown to our plot by the owner, who was very pleasant and really helpful. The toilet & shower block were spotless and the site itself was immaculate. We tried 3 ways to get into Whitby:-

1.Walking (about 20mins)But very relaxing.

2.Service bus stops just outside side.(5 mins - £1.40)

3.Taxi - £4.50.

Play area, tennis court and playing field for kids. Every caravan has panoramic sea views. 5 minute walk to beach. Will definitely return to this site.

Reviewer: Casper 17 reviews from this member

 What a lovely site,owners were friendly. The lady owner loved her golf buggy lol

We stayed on a graveled pitched which was very level. All pitches looked out on to the sea which was great.

Toilet block,Shower Block,Laundry and Washing up arear were lovely and clean.

Very cheap weekend away, we payed £15.50 a night with awning for 3 Adults and 1 Child, which is cheap to say how close you are to Whitby (Nice steady 20 minute walk to Whitby)and Sandsend is 5 minutes away.Scarbourough is 25 minutes by car!

Theres a LIDL and a Petrol Station up the road about 10 minutes away by car.(Turn right at the mini round-about on to Love Lane)

Overall 10/10 :)

Will be back again next summer!

Reviewer: Marpin 15 reviews from this member

 Just got back from this great little site. We stayed on a gravel pitch which was level even though the site is on a slope. The shower/toilet block was clean and warm, which was good considering it was snowing at the time of our stay.
It's a nice walk into Whitby if the weather is nice, taxi's are reasonable £5 into town. I think the site has been taken over since our last stay a few years ago, the owners were friendly and welcoming. I'm looking forward to going back when the weather improves as there is always something going on in Whitby in the Summer, and in my opinion this is the best site in the area.
