Very Good

Just got back from a weekend here and this is one to return to. We would advise the owner to at least double the width of the road in front of the hardstanding pitches, this would save on having manoeuvre over the grass which when wet, as it was this weekend, is quite boggy. The pitches are long enough, we have a twin axle caravan, but again could do with been wider allowing the parking of the car on hardstanding saving the owners grass. There is a small amount of road noise but nothing that could be deemed intrusive. The pub has good well cooked food and drink with a menu that is varied and inexpensive. Overall this CL is one that without doubt we will return to...open all year....£15.00 per night including electric....what more can we say. This almost a five star review!!! Thanks

Whitby Trip

What a lovely CL. It was lovely and quiet with nice trees and grassed area with your own picnic table. A bonus been right on a pub site also. The pub does lovely meals and also has a seating area outside which was lovely on a sunny evening. We took a steam train to Whitby which was lovely and took in the beautiful views of the moors and stunning scenery. Whitby itself was lovely and well worth a visit. I would definitely stay here again.

Fox & Rabbit Perfection

We arrived 1 hour early on Good Friday and were allowed to go to our pitch, Nice large hard standing pitches with mature trees around the field, perfect for children as it is enclosed and a long way from the road. Lovely dog walking areas too. The pub has some nice cask ales on offer and serves some very nice sized portions of food and not expensive either. The site is in a perfect location as you can quite easily head for, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Scarborough, Filey or Bridlington. Pickering is a nice town with Co Op and Lidl supermarkets and plenty of take aways and tea rooms. You can take a Steam train ride from Pickering Station up to Grosmont and visit where Heartbeat was filmed or go all the way to Whitby. Once we had paid on arrival and directed to our pitch this is the last time we saw the owners apart from in the pub on a night. I'd definitely rate this site at 10/10. Each pitch was level and had EHU and picnic bench too, There is 1 fresh water tap on site and chemical toilet disposal point and plenty of dustbins and if you want you can pay a £5 deposit and have a key and exclusive use to the toilet near to the pub. We will definitely be returning to this site.

Simply the best

It's November and most people have put their caravans into storage but we haven't and booked 10 days at this CL - it's perfect & their is so much to see & do in this area. The CL itself is flat & tidy and the pub 'on hand' is perfect. We will put this on our favourite list. Places to visit - Whitby, Runswick Bay, Gt Ayton, York, Helmsley, etc etc etc

The Scotsman in Yorkshire

This was some 'Flying' visit to this part of the world. We picked this site for our short stay in March. We were lucky to have tickets on the Flying Scotsman on its visit to the North York Moors Railway. The site is beautiful and belongs to a great pub. Perfect. I have to say that I have never visited this part of the world to 'holiday', so had a lot to do as a taster for a return sometime in the future. We were perfectly placed for walks off the site into Dalby Forest. The train journey across the moors was outstanding. We also got to the coast for Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes and managed to look up travelling companions relatives in Bridlington. All of which was intermingled with fabulous drives over the moors on the back roads which offer a better experiance than the main routes. So yes, 5 stars for every catagory. A great and very active break at a lovely site.

The perfect site for peace and quiet

The weather was certainly on our side when we arrived at this site. Easily accessible by the Whitby Road and just a few miles from Pickering, this sun trap provided the perfect place for relaxation, peace and quiet. The site is well placed to conveniently visit areas on the coast or inland. The Fox and Rabbit serves excellent food with good beers. For the few days that we were there we relaxed on site reading, chatting and admiring the bird population that provided free entertainment.

Tranquility in abundance

A nice quiet site, the pitches are a little tight but the space and the picnic bench next to every pitch is very useful. The pub The Fox and Rabbit is absolutely brilliant, the food is excellent the staff are friendly and welcoming, just one thing, if you are going, make sure you book a table as they can be very busy and it would be a crime to stay here without eating!

Peaceful site

just returned from 6 days here. Two field gates to go through to get to the CL. The pitches are all hardstanding but narrow and so the awning was pitched on the grass. This however was probably easier than trying to drive the pegs into the hardcore. The grass around the pitches was mown and collected so no grass clippings to deal with. it is not collected on the large open area in the front of the pitches. The picnic table and umbrella to each pitch was handy. We had a wonderful meal in the pub, if a little expensive. A small discount for members using the site would be a nice touch. We also went on the NY Moors Railway and drove the 3-4 miles to Levisham Station to catch the train. Only £3 to park there. Easier and cheaper than trying to park in Pickering. The site was extremely quiet and very dark on a night so remember a torch for walking back from the pub at night. Good for skywatching though. There are no views of the surrounding landscape as the site is totally surrounded by tall trees, but the site itself is large, open and pleasant.

Lovely retreat

We chose this site due to its proximity to Dalby Forest, as we were at a concert on Saturday evening. We booked Fri to Sun. Check in is made in the Pub itself. If you wish to eat there it is necessary to make a reservation, as it is very popular and busy at all times. The site is very clean, with 5 hardstanding pitches, each has its own picnic table. There is a chemical disposal point and fresh water. Toilets are in the pub if you wish to use them, we used our own facilities. It is convenient for Pickering, the coast or walking and cycling I Dalby Forest. We will ill certainly return. We decided to stay for Sunday lunch, so made our booking and was able to leave the caravan on the site until we had finished. If it was full, there is a field next door which I am sure you will be allowed to leave your unit. A lovely all rounder.
