Only stayed for one night here on this little site. Nice views from the pitch we liked the lighthouse light flashing in the distance at Flanborough Head. Trains we not a problem even if they are only 100 yards from the back of the site. Very helpful and friendly lady owner. Not much in village but we liked the old photographs on display. Site is on a slope so very difficult to get a flat level spot might be ok for small caravan but not good for motorhomes as all pitches slope 2 or 3 ways even using 2 ramps at max height could not get close to level. Could be difficult to get off in wet weather due to angle of the slope on grass even if there is a short track in the middle. Needs some work doing to bring it up to modern standards felt it is not worth the money.
A very warm welcome at this lovely little CL
Really friendly owners who were very helpful and welcoming. This site is located very well to explore many surrounding resorts and places of interest on the east coast. It was really relaxing and peaceful and had everything needed. Slightly sloping but not a problem with some leveling blocks. We will definitely return, thank you for a very pleasant stay.
Perfect
This is the second time we have stayed on this site and we can only say how lovely it is. Â The owners are very friendly and welcoming, the site is immaculately kept and very close to some lovely countryside and also convenient for Bridlington and Scarborough by train. Â The coastline here is very dramatic and we were lucky enough to spot puffins on the Bempton Cliffs. With regard to the previous review concerning the waste disposal facility at this site. Â We can assure you that we have seen far far worse facilities on other CL sites and this one is far superior to many. Â A WC sunk into the ground and concreted around is a very usual and more than adequate factor. Â Care is obviously required when emptying waste containers in any receptacle. Â Thank you Mr & Mrs Wheeler for a very enjoyable stay - we will return !

Campervan visit July 2015
Well maintained grass pitches with one hardstanding option. Most pitches sloping and levellers needed. Pleasant 1.5 mile walk to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, nearly all on pavement/gravel track beside road. Longer walk on road and footpaths around Flamborough Head. Minimal disturbance from trains as going so slowly. Well supervised by owner who is helpful with local information.

Close to RSPB Reserve
Well kept peaceful site, grass kept short,spacious pitches. Levelling blocks provided if needed. Handy for local train to Scarborough & Brid. Short drive to Bempton RSPB Reserve & Brid.
Lovely peaceful site.
Nice site, well kept grass, slightly sloping but wooden levelling ramps are supplied for each pitch if you don't have one.
Close to the railway but not a problem at all, there are hardly any trains and they are quite small and slow. It is only a single track line. Handy for the station if you want to go to Bridlington or Scarborough without the parking hassle. Check when the last train is though.
We were welcomed on arrival and offered help pitching up. When I want to pay the site fees Mrs. Wheeler was charming and had advice and leaflets about the local area.
Bempton is a lovely village, and the RSPB sanctuary is not far. Handy for Bridlington and Flamborough Head.
Recommended.
Lovely CL
Nice CL with good views covering some distance you can see the light from flambrough head lighthouse when its lit at night. Sloping but each pitch has levelling ramp. It is near the train line but less than 2 trains an hour during the day really don’t cause any problems with noise. The train station is just outside the CL and trains to scarborough and Bridlington. RSPB bempton cliffs where you can see the puffins (depending on time of year) is a couple of miles a pleasant walk or short drive. On arrival the owner came to the caravan with some leaflets on the area (these little touches make all the difference to me, you feel so welcome when they make an effort like this) I will return and would recommend this cl.
Peaceful
A perfect site for a peaceful break. We had a lovely weekend with visits to the beach at Barmston in the morning with our dogs followed by relaxing afternoons on the site. The owners are very welcoming with a laid back approach to life. We have visited twice now and really appreciate the help always given to site and level the caravan. There is a field track to the top of the field where dogs can be walked. The track leads down to the road and into the village which makes a gentle half hour dog walk back to the site. All in all a perfect site.
Great Break
Just had five days at Branwood very welcoming and helpfull owners,site very relaxing and well looked after ,good site touring the area .
Lovely little site
really enjoyed our long weekend here, a peaceful and pretty location but also convenient for all local places of interest. Bempton station is situated just next to the site which is very handy for trains into Scarborough etc but trains are infrequent and do not disturb. The site is lovingly maintained and the owners were very flexible with departure/ arrival times, and although some pitches are on a slight slope,the owner has thoughtfully provided levelling blocks.
We recommend this site and will be returning ourselves.
