Reviewer: Fiznlil 53 reviews from this member

 We stay here 2 or 3 times a year and are always welcomed back like long lost friends! Facilities totally top notch and if the family want to join you, there are holiday apartments on-site.

Not cheap but you certainly get what you pay for.

The best eatery in the village is Brandysnap but you need to book a few months in advance. Pubs are not as good as they were, but the Buck is closing for a major refurb, reopening in about September, watch this space.

Lovely café opened about 18 months ago Cafe Boucher, excellent food and service, priced accordingly so not cheap but worth it.

All of these are about half a mile flat walk form Overbrook.

The campsite has a visiting fish and chip van on Fridays in the higher seasons and are good.

Already booked for our next visit.

 Overbrook was recommended to us by our friends who had stayed a few times over the years.

It is a lovely well cared for site with all the usual amenities to make for a comfortable stay.

The facilities are nipping clean and the recycling facility was one of the best, very clearly marked.

We had a lovely warm welcome from reception they even swapped our allocated pitch to one near our friends.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Reviewer: Pca1958 140 reviews from this member

 As other reviews have stated, the site is located at Thornton Le Dales old railway station which is a flat 15 minutes walk to village centre, either by road or through a small wood.

The village is quaint with a number of shops for essentials and has two pubs, both of which we tried and didn't really like. Nice little gift shop for Matthewson's Classic Car Auctions.

Had an an excellent welcome from the owners who took the time to explain the site and the PAYG electric. You get some electric included then pay for any extra you use. Modern facilities at Overbrook are clean at all times, powerful hot showers and some nice touches can be found, and the site looks well kept with many flower beds and pots.

The site does feel cramped though, especially as caravan owners have to park their car in the grass space between pitches, especially seen on the Seasonal pitches, and many pitches are under tall pine trees.

Good transport links via a bus to Pickering, York, Leeds, Whitby and Scarborough, and a number of good walks from Thornton Le Dale can be taken.

A quiet site with so many positives and would come back again

 Site on the edge of the village, easy 15 minutes walk to village centre -footpaths all the way.

Lovely shower/ loos, immaculately cleaned at all times, loads of hot water.

Pitches are tight, you pay for a small (room for a unit only). Or large. (unit and awning space). Cars are parked on grass area between pitches. It did feel a bit hemmed in with cars parked within a few feet of the side of our pitch.

Small dog walking lawned area which was great but isn't gated. People working constantly on the flower beds, it's beautifully kept and looks amazing.

You have some electric in nightly fee then pay for any extra you use. When it runs out it turns off your electric until you buy more - so need to check before going out for the day and at bedtime if you have enough.

We really liked site and proximity to village and would use again

 Very quiet and beautiful location for this adult only site. Clean, modern and comprehensive facilities and lovely staff.

Nice walks in and around Thornton le Dale. We would certainly like to return in the near future.

Electricity is on a card meter basis and is quite expensive.

Would benefit from a 'shop' that sells essential items eg toilet rolls.

 Lovely location with easy access to village & beyond.

Facilities very clean.

Owners most welcoming, particularly liked the touch of the dog tags saying they were on holiday at Overbrook in case of straying.

Extremely well kept site

Reviewer: Mikeanddeb 42 reviews from this member

 Very warm welcome to the site. Shown to pitch and demonstrated how to use the electric meter, advised what appliances best used on electric /gas.

By the end of the holiday, we actually got a refund from the fee charged within the pitch fee, so wasn't as costly as initially feared. Issued envelope with barrier fob, meter card, information, and also, as we had taken our dog, her own dog tag, with contact details for whilst she was on holiday, in case she got lost.

Very peaceful, cows and calfs in the field behind. Lovely doggy area, with stream running alongside.

Shower /toilet block was very clean, showers lovely and hot. Baskets inside for toiletries, very clever idea of suit bags to avoid clothes getting wet from overspray. Stunning walk into village. Sampled local chemist, bakery, ice cream parlour, fish and chip shop, all staff very welcoming.

On departure, we returned the doggy tag, and was given a tennis ball for the dog. Visited Peasholm Park, Scarborough, took the steam train from Pickering to Whitby, went Whitby Abbey.

Also visited Staithes, Helmsley town centre and the castle, and Rievaulx Abbey.

Absolutely amazing holiday.

Reviewer: Little ann 14 reviews from this member

 Great Site in a Great Location with good clean facilities,

However beware! Gangs Of Pigeons constantly dropping bombs on your car/caravan/motorhome & awnings, very noisy all day up until late at night and again very early in a morning, nightmare if you are light sleepers like us!

Problem is a lot of pitches are under lots of tall trees down the lefthand side of site (tree sap is another big problem) notice up "no car washing"I think that says it all?

Site uses electric card system other then that no issues.

Thornton-le-dale it self beautiful, tried the italian restaurant there fabulous food great staff a must, found just along from antique shop.

Large Car park on right going into thornton £2, 70 an hour card or phone only, WOW we called in from pickering and drove straight back out.

Pickering is also well worth a visit, more shops and indoor market, if you fancy a good English breakfast try Russells cafe, along main shops nice.

 13 years since we last visited due to not having had a caravan for a while.

We were not disappointed.

Amazing friendly welcome from all the team.

Very helpful young man helped us get our caravan onto the pitch.

The shower block is immaculately clean and a lovely power shower. The only bad part was leaving.

Back soon hopefully

Reviewer: Clappersgirl 11 reviews from this member

 The old railway station situated at the edge of the picture postcard village of Thornton-le-Dale. It is easily accessed and you will receive a very warm welcome at reception.

The site is beautifully planted with trees, flowers and shrubs and very well maintained. We had one of the smaller pitches as none other was available when we booked.

There was only about a foot of grass between the side our van and the roadway as we were parked sideways to the road. We could have sat out at the back of the van, which is not ideal, but the weather was not conducive so the chairs stayed inside.

The facilities were good and kept very clean, but I found that the water in the showers was too hot for me and there was no way to regulate it. Consequently I didn't wash my hair for the duration of our stay.

I have to agree with other reviewers about the size of the showers which leaves very little room for manoeuvre and the totally enclosed space generates a great deal of steam which dampens everything. And if we are being picky, a mop is easier for cleaning the shower than a brush.

Buses from Thornton to Pickering/Helmsley and Scarborough are every 2 hours so you need to get your timing right (and don't rely on the North Yorks Railway to get you back in time for your bus) but all are well worth a visit.

We really enjoyed our visit; it was very peaceful on this adults-only site. But we did feel that too many pitches had been shoe-horned in to the available space, making it feel rather cramped.
