Glamping at thorpe hall near bridlington

We had snow, we had sleet but wow, what a sky we had afterwards...

A wonderful easter weekend at thorpe hall ...quiet and peaceful but only 10 min drive to bridlington

Yorkshire Wolds site in the old walled gardens of Thorpe Hall
A 15-minute drive from Bridlington and 35 minutes from Scarborough
Coarse fishing lake and five-acre playing field

Set within the old kitchen garden walls of a country estate, Thorpe Hall Caravan and Camping Site is a quiet, peaceful and sheltered location to relax and unwind. The family-friendly (and dog-friendly) site is less than a mile from the small Yorkshire village of Rudston. Bring kit for a day at the coarse fishing lake or gather chums for games on the five-acre playing field (ideally cricket, in keeping with your traditional English surrounds, but anything goes really…). If you're after things to do locally, then a quick explore of Rudston (including a stop at the Rudston Monolith, the tallest standing stone in the United Kingdom) should top the list, before driving off to the coast at Bridlington,15 minutes away, for sandy beaches and sea-view strolls. And so to your digs… in the estate’s pretty walled garden, with plenty of space and shelter and access to a smart heated bathroom block that’s got disabled access and hot water available all day and all night. The small shop sells essentials such as milk and bread (and is a handy fount of local information too), and supermarkets in Bridlington are handily close by for all your barbecue bits.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The site was so well kept and the people working there were very friendly. The toilet blocks were very clean. The big field/ dog walking area is perfect too. We had a great long weekend stay.

Disliked: I know this is noted on the website (and it is free), but the WiFi is very intermittent - thought I'd make a note incase someone was to rely on it.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Pitch was near the facilities

Disliked: Right by a busy road, staff unwilling to charge mobile phones for us
Bathrooms could have been cleaner

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review and rate your stay. Needless to say we are very disappointed to read your feedback but will try to address the points raised for the benefit of readers.
* Your point about the pitch being 'right by' a busy road
We'd just like to clarify that whilst there is a road that runs from the village into Bridlington, the site is actually situated within the old walled gardens of the estate (walls are over 10ft high) so there is no danger to guests
* Staff unwilling to charge your mobile phones
We do not encourage staff to take sole responsibility for guests' personal and often very expensive equipment. In addition, guests that plan a 4 night visit with children and require electricity would generally book an electric pitch. However, as you chose to book a cheaper non-electric pitch we'd highly recommend the purchase of a mobile power bank which is very useful when away from home.
* Bathrooms could have been cleaner
One thing that features a lot in the majority of our reviews is how clean our facilities are. We're disappointed to hear here that your experience was different. We encourage guests to flag any particular concerns to us whilst on site so that we can try to rectify whatever the problem is.

Well set out site good communication from the outset. Very clean and…

James M. Apr 2025

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Love the board with names on as you arrive. I have never seem showers and toilets so clean and tidy. The shop is so well stocked and everything you ever needed. The grounds are kept very well too. There is a games field away from caravans so people that just want to relax woth no noise they can. Just perfect this place and used to go as child and still as good if not better ! Defo be back in heartbeat. The pub near by is a lovely walk and village is like going back in time in the best possible way.

Disliked: Numbers in ground very low and bit of trip hazard at night. But that's me and I should be more careful. WiFi isn't great but we don't getaway to stay on Internet and we had phone signal if needed.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your in-depth review and rating James, We're delighted to know that you enjoyed your stay with us and everything was to your liking and we hope to welcome you back again in the future :0)
For potential guests reading this review please be advised that James is correct about the WiFi. The signal is variable and cannot be guaranteed (and we do mention this on our website and other booking platforms) There are plans in place to upgrade during the winter months.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: walled garden site, showers good

Disliked: Pitches not well set out, cars to be parked down the side of your caravan, litterally our door opened into the door of the neighbours awning

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and rating and whilst you'll not be back to stay with us we wish you a wonderful season, it's certainly been great weather for it so far.
We're disappointed that you didn't come to speak to us when you were here as we may have been able to make your stay more comfortable by offering you a change of pitch or allowing you to park your car nearby.
We're perplexed about your comments on the layout of the pitch as many of our reviews refer to the generous size of our pitches (as long as units have been pitched in the correct place) The pitch you were on was 30ft wide which is more than adequate to accommodate a vehicle, caravan, aquaroll and awning (although. like on many other sites/car parks it may be necessary to offload passengers prior to parking). We do also have extra large pitches for those that require a larger pitch.

Clean, friendly and quiet.

Local attractions

Can’t get enough of these grand stately homes? There are plenty more options nearby to swan around in… Burton Agnes Hall is a 10-minute drive from base, Sewerby Hall and Sledmere Estate are within 20 minutes, and Burton Constable Hall (and its Capability Brown-designed grounds) is 45 minutes away. Perhaps the most famed, though, is the exquisite Castle Howard (45 minutes) – it’s starred on TV several times, playing the role of Brideshead (in Brideshead Revisited, twice) and Kensington Palace (in Victoria). Steer away from the country piles with a trip to York, a little over an hour away, to meet vikings at the Jorvik Viking Centre, cruise along the river or take a sweet trip into the past at York’s Chocolate Story. Or perhaps head to Hull (50 minutes) for more museum action and sealife encounters with more than 3,500 fish that live at The Deep aquarium. Swap both city and country for coast with a trip to Scarborough (35 minutes) for days on one (or two, or three…) of the beaches, a splash at the waterpark or peaceful ambles in the gardens. Filey (20 minutes) has another fine beach, and a clifftop golf course with cracking coastal views.
