Liked: The pitch was perfect for our stay, close to the Abbey, shops and cafes/ restaurants.
The field didn’t have a shower block but there were toilets and provision for emptying our Elsan toilet cassette.
The pitch was spacious and quiet.
Disliked: N/A

Liked: What a great view, we had a pitch on the edge of the field with only the sea in sight.
Only a short stroll into town with good food and drinks options.

Liked: The field is huge so no problem finding somewhere flat to park. Location to the abbey and Whitby is great, only 15 min walk into Whitby. People manning the gate were nice.
Disliked: Very, very basic. For £25 a night would expect a lot more toilets and somewhere with a hot water point/sink for the dishes. There's lots of sheep poo everywhere.

Liked: There was lots of space between each other campervans which we like so lots of privacy beautiful sea views

Liked: Lovely views, spacious pitches, friendly welcome, nice staff, very close to 199 steps and Whitby Abbey
Disliked: Very noisy family nearby with toy machine guns being fired from 8am which parents allowed! Not the fault of the site itself granted.
Took over an hour to get on site at mid-day, suppose couldn’t be helped when everyone arrived together. Toilets terrible…for £38 a night with EHU a lock on the toilet door wouldn’t go amiss.
Nevertheless, I’d return for the views and location albeit expensive for limited facilities but you’re paying for the location.

Liked: Proximity to whitby
Disliked: Seen better toilet facilities on a building site. Very old, dirty portaloos. Expensive for what it is in my opinion. No showers, but does state this in booking blurb.

Liked: Great location right next to Whitby Abbey, didn't need to move the van all weekend. It is a decent walk down to the town with the steps!
Site kept clean with bins emptied regularly.
Disliked: Toilets are basic but we're kept clean, only cold water and no showers (I knew that when I booked), I did miss having a shower but fine for a weekend.
Was a bit of chaos when we arrive with a large queue to get in, not their fault though as everyone arrive at once!
