Everything a CL should be and more. Prompt and efficient reply from Emma re booking enquiry with all necessary details. Excellent signage on arrival so you know where you are going, very easy access from A171, a bit muddy drive/access but you are choosing to stay on a farm. CL itself laid out well, good space between all hardstanding pitches. The hardstandings are on narrowside but perfectly adequate for our 3.85 kg/7.45 m long motorhome to have room to get round to do the chores! Grass was very wet - bottomless ground but that is nothing to do with campsite as we had been staying after several storms and excessive rain. Right side of site pitches are next to high but tidy conifer trees, left side is adjacent to farm yard (only heard the tractor set off each morning at reasonable time so minimal noise). Left side has the views of Whitby Abbey and sea in distance. Amazingly despite being close to A 171, couldn’t really hear any road noise. Of course, bonus to being close to main road is excellent access to many places, either by car, foot or bus. Campsite is right next to Cinder Track which is brilliant. This trip we walked the 3 miles down to Whitby along Cinder Track and got bus back which has a stop directly at site entrance. Also, at the entrance is the pub The Hare & Hounds which cannot recommend enough. It is clearly a well maintained and high standards site as bins, water and CDP all immaculate. We cannot fault, and one of our favourites. Thank you.
Excellent CL
What a fantastic CL this is , great location with plenty different walks from the site, next to the cinder track which is a pretty flat walk into Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay , easy to reach the coastal path too . Dog friendly pub just over the road and a bus stop next to the farm. Just what a CL should be will definitely be back
Love this site
Nicely maintained CL with no ammenities. Excellent location for cinder track which takes you to ravenscar or robinhoods bay. Pub and bus stop at the end of the drive. No tv signal on our pitch and some light traffic noise from the road. Would revisit the site if in area again

Wonderful CL
Four hardstanding and one grass pitch on a slightly sloping field though easy to get the caravan level. Plenty of room for the five pitches, all with EHU. Field located behind Swan Farm and access is easy. At £15 a night, a real bargain.
Behind the field with direct access is "The Cinder Path" which is the old Scarborough to Whitby railway line. Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay are roughly three miles away and can be walked in one hour or so.
Bus stop at bottom of the farm access road, two minutes walk with buses every 30 minutes. Didn't go in the Hare and Hounds pub so can't comment on that, though we did have a meal at the "Grosvenor Hotel" at Robin Hoods Bay and it has a good menu and a couple of cask ales on tap, we enjoyed it.
We will definitely be back again and again, thanks Emma.
Lovely little gem
Lovely little CL site.
Easy access and very accessible. Right on Cinder Track, lovely for walking or bike riding to Whitby or Robin Hood bay.
Bus stop at end of drive goes to Whitby, Middlesbrough, Scarborough etc..
Electric and water , no facilities but wasn’t expecting any.
Fab little pub with great food over the road..
All pretty perfect. Owners non interfering, in fact we had to go and find them to pay 🥰🥰, but in farm house if you need them and available .
£15 per night with electric, absolute bargain, can’t remember the last time I paid less than £20pn with electric.
Can’t recommend highly enough we will be back when up this way again.. had a fantastic 3 nights. Thank you
Loved This Site
Unfortunately we were only able to stay 1 night due to work commitments but we still had a great time. There is a lovely walk towards the coast and the Cleveland Way, where we watched a brilliant sunset. The next morning we walked along the Cinder Track, which is 2 minutes from the site and walked to Larpool Viaduct where we had a great view of the abbey. There was a pub just outside the site and one about 20 minutes away just off the Cinder Track - perfect for a walk and a drink. We cannot wait to return and try all of the other walks.
Great CL Site - Super location
Just returned from 6 nights at this site. Super location between Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby. Great hard standing flat pitch. Adjacent to the "Cinder Track" with an honesty box Cake Shop a few metres away.This a great place to explore and we will be back soon.

Shussss don’t tell anyone.
What a fantastic site. My partner, me and Bob the dog visited here on a windy rainy weekend in February. Found the site very easily, nice sign on the entrance. Only one other visitor on the site. We grabbed s pitch in the corner. Nice and flat hard standing, just perfect. Phoned Emma left a message, we had arrived. This is a lovely site, hour and half walk to Whitby along the Cinder path 2 hours to Robin hoods bay.
What more can I say, lovely pub at the entrance to the farm.
Bob loved it, we loved it.
Thank you Emma, we will be back
What a great CL!
We visited here overnight on 14 December to attend a Black tie charity function in Whitby. Emma was very welcoming and showed us to the site, we had the site to ourselves and chose a pitch with a view of the surrounding countryside and the sea. The site had everything we needed and we had a lovely peaceful stay. The local taxi firm even drove right to our pitch to pick us up and drop us off so our evening wear was spotless. This is a lovely welcoming site with access to great walking and local attractions. We will definitely be visiting again even though it’s not that far away from us. Keep up the great work Emma
