Peace and Tranquility

We spent 9 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The site was peaceful and tranquil, with the lovely sounds of bird song only very occasionally interrupted by traffic on the adjacent road. The site is kept well mown thanks to the owners and their nifty robot mower. Having water and grey waste to each pitch is fabulous. Some great walks out onto the moor from the nearby track and a fabulous view point overlooking Robin Hood's bay just up the road. Great to have the Wi-fi too All in all a great CL Will be back

Jury is still out........

I do not disagree with comments from previous reviewers about the Cl's: peace and tranquility, ambience beautiful scenery access to walks tap, grey water waste and EHU all on the pitch, excellent WiFi and telephone signal and have given it 5 for all the above aspects. However, the pitches were tired and not in the best condition. Whether this is because we were at the end of the season or the field does not drain well or whether members had not lifted their awnings as it clearly states and destroyed the grass I am not sure. One is asked to park between two green flags which is not a problem. However there was a large area between the flags that was basically bare earth with plastic grid embedded in it. No grass. As it had been raining prior to our stay it was muddy and was impossible to not bring mud and grit into the caravan. I can't see where we could have put up an awning if we had wanted to. Like a previous reviewer we too do not want to be 'bothered' by owners. This site seems to take it to the extreme. We never saw the owners except one morning we think it was him on a sit on mower to cut the grass on the next pitch. There was no acknowledgement of our presence. Everything is done remotely by phone or email when booking or contacting while on site. A notice states 'There is no door for you to knock on'. We enjoyed our stay but disappointed with the quality of the pitch.

Perfect

Lovely location, peaceful, well spaced, beautifully kept CL field. Each pitch has its own grey water drain and water supply and EHU. WiFi is true super fast broadband connection. Absolutely perfect.

Fantastic fully serviced site

We booked here last minute. The process was easy through their online booking system. When we arrived we just drove in a pitched up at our chosen spot. We didn't see the owners until our last day but that suited us just fine -- we were happy not to be disturbed with CL site owners knocking on the door asking for money! Truly felt like we were in touch with nature. Views were wonderful and it is situated perfectly for trips to Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hood's Bay. The nearby Cinder Track is a great walk. When we head back to the East coast, we will be checking in here again for sure. WiFi was only an extra pound a night too. The perfect CL site for us.

Glorious CL site with stunning scenery

Stayed here for 6 nights and would definitely go back. Site is immaculate and despite being high up with wonderful views it seemed sheltered from the wind. For cyclists there the cinder track cycle path is nearby with easy access to miles of off road cycling and almost exactly half way between Scarborough and Whitby it is remote whilst still in easy reach of places to visit. The owners were really friendly and welcoming and we can't recommend this site enough. As usual I've created a short video which can describe the site much better than I can with words feel free to watch it here. https://youtu.be/BL0MKwUNJcc

Just what a CL should be

We had the pleasure of staying for a week in September 2017 at Smugglers Rock and it exceeded our expectation. Booking was easy and the information which arrived via email was comprehensive and detailed. By following the directions given we found the site easily and were delighted with it. All pitches look out towards the sea, the site is situated on a quiet country lane and all the services are to hand. Fabulous dog walks from the site either onto the moors behind, along the cinder path to Robin Hood's Bay or along the beach...spoilt for choice! Don't forget to visit the seal colony below Ravenscar when you visit! The WiFi works extremely well and there is a good 4G phone signal and excellent TV reception. Sharon and Mike are wonderful hosts and make you feel extremely welcome! Smugglers Rock also does accommodation and so we were able to enjoy a couple of days with non-caravanning family when they came to join us but staying in the B&B. It's just a shame the CL is closed during the winter otherwise we would be back again during the quieter time on our own CL. Thanks Sharon & Mike....we will be back! Best regards Nicola (Skybarn Farm CL)

Pleasant and Tidy CL

Just what you want from a CL with friendly owners in Sharon and Mike. Well maintained,quiet setting,plenty of space and set in a picturesque setting. Excellent for relaxation with walks and cycling for the more energetic.With Scarborough and Whitby within easy reach a good base to see North Yorkshire Moors and the Coast.

Beautiful site

Owners very friendly and welcoming. The site is very clean and tidy and the field is kept like a tennis court. Beautiful views across to the sea. Plenty of walks and cycle rides to be had. Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hoods Bay are all a few minutes drive away. Can highly recommend this beautiful site.
