One of my favourites

This site is one of my favourite places especially now that John has built a new shoes room with toilet. Views are out of this world. The grandkids loved the piglets, chickens and horses. The welcome from John and  Paula is great they are such nice people been many times with more to come. Yes the road can be noisy but all in all you get used to it.

Easter Stay

Just had 3 nights at this C.L over Easter. This was our second stay here. And although it’s a bit sloping the outlook is well worth it. There is a bit of road noise during the day but the nights are ok. The addition of a new shower room and refurbished toilet makes this good C.L even better. Only a 30 minute walk into Pickering which has plenty to see and do. We will certainly be back.

enjoyable week

A very nice, if sloping site, with lovely views across the Vale of Pickering. Warm welcome & some good home made jams & fresh eggs. An old traction engine in one of farm sheds for added interest! Short walk for buses to Scarborough, half hour walk into Pickering or 5min on bus. Recommend lunch at the village Post Office(!), try the ploughmans. Local fuel station also has very good shop, only  10min walk. Cl just off A170 so some daytime road noise, but reduces in the evenings. We had a lovely week & wouldn't hesitate to return, during our stay 2 of the other outfits were returnees.

One mans meat is another mans poison

We booked this site mainly from the good reviews, sadly while there is a good view over sheds and rubbish the main road is in touching distance and the heavy traffic noise goes on and on, its akin to stopping in a lay by, if you don't mind that then it could be a good place to stay but my one night cost £45 as I was stupid enough to book three nights never again.

A windy weekend in Pickering

What a lovely site.  Reasonable access, warm welcome.   Although this is a sloping site it was not enough to be a problem,  just a few blocks and we were in.   The view from the window was facing Southend took in miles of picturesque countryside. I have no doubt that we will be returning here in the future. Just one note we booked from information on the cc website.   On the way up SWMBO was reading the site directory handbook and noticed that there was a length restriction for this site.  Our van is greater than the given length, but we pressed on regardless.   The outcome?   Well the information in the book is WRONG!! It is a misprint.  There is no site length restriction.

A great bank holiday weekend

Just got back from a three night stay at the Hawthornes This site is a sloping site but nothing to worry about, I didn't even have need levelling blocks as it slopes away to the front of the van, so a couple of bricks under the front steadies was all that was needed, ( Bricks were already on the pitch ) It was a lovely site, but it is a working farm with pigs chickens and a cockerel behind the pitch, but this just adds to its charm. There is a lovely view from the front of all the caravan pitches It was a good 15 to 20 minute walk into Pickering but its along the road/Pavement which is flat all the way. There is a garage/supermarket nearby which has everything you need and more You can hear the road at the front of the site, but its not too bad would I stay here again? most definitely

Basic but as described.

When we arrived the sloping field of long wet grass defeated my car, the owners did offer a tractor, but couldn't get it through the gate as my 'van was stuck in the mud. Other 'vanners helped us push the 'van up to the pitch OK. Sloping, as described, blocks needed. The single toilet was rustic, but clean. Owners were available, but inobtrusive. Traffic was constant most of the day, but not too noisy due to good hedgerow. The walk into Pickering is on pavement by a busy road. Lots to see and do in Pickering and surrounding towns. I did think that £14 a night was'nt a fair price, it was more than billed in the handbook. I know that that's only a guide, but had I known it was £14, I might have gone to one of the several other sites locally.
