Humble Bee Farm

喜欢 Bathroom facilities were clean and modern the feeding of the animals for my young granddaughter was fantastic and she came back with fresh eggs every morning.

不喜欢 We were on the hill with no protection from the wind in a tent we had to use the extra strong pegs as the ground was very hard only ideal for camper vans .

来自经理: Many thanks for staying with us here at Humble Bee Farm.
We are so glad you enjoyed your visit with your grand daughter.
We appreciate your feedback re: the harder ground on Piggy Back campsite.
The hard ground and need for strong tent pegs is mentioned on our website and we do sell special tent pegs and mallets in our onsite shop if guests attend without these items.
We do get campers on Piggy Back who comment about the lovely views from this part of the site, which is just a short walk from toilets, showers and our onsite shop.
We thank you again for your comments, from everyone at Humble Bee Farm.

喜欢 The animals were a massive hit with the kids and the piggy back field was peaceful

不喜欢 The extremely strong ground made it difficult to pitch, the facilities were a fair distance from the piggy back field and could use refurbishment.

来自经理: Thank you for joining us here at Humble Bee Farm, which offers a working farm experience along with camping, glamping, and holiday cottage staycations.
For camping holidays, we have Piggy Back which is in an elevated position and as our website clearly states, is on hard ground.
This part of our site has stunning views of the Yorkshire Wolds and offers spacious pitches.
The facilities you mention are within walking distance and includes two toilet cubicles with hand basins, three spacious showers, a washing up area, hair dryer, and a site notice board.
These facilities are cleaned thoroughly and regularly and at busy times, however if there is lots of usage by guests, then guests only need to inform a member of our helpful team and we would clean them again as soon as possible.
We have received lots of favourable comments about these facilities in both previous reviews and by word of mouth.
These facilities are also monitored for wear and tear, and for any damage or faults.
We also reinvest in our site here at Humble Bee Farm by replacing equipment, upgrading accommodations and for example this year our site has a brand new play area for our guests to use.
If we spot anything, or we are informed by a guest that something isn’t up to standard, then we action it as soon as possible.
We are glad your children enjoyed their stay as we have an indoor and outdoor play area, Farmer Percy Club each morning, and three farm walks to enjoy.
It is worth noting we also have Reflection Garden,the two shower and toilet blocks, a sports field, The Hive café bar, and the shop/reception for our guests to use and enjoy.

喜欢 The cafe and shop were great. Very nice pizzas. The kids loved all of the animals.

来自经理: Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for staying with us, we do hope you can join us again soon.

喜欢 I liked the lovely warm welcome I received when I arrived and continued throughout my stay. They couldn’t have been more helpful when I had a couple of hiccups coming to my rescue.Such a beautiful campsite with lots to see and do . Facilities were spotlessly clean . Hosts fantastic.

不喜欢 Personally i couldn’t find anything that i didn’t like about the site. 5X about everything.

来自经理: Thank you so much for your amazing review!
We are delighted to read you enjoyed your stay with us and that our staff/team were helpful.
We are based in a lovely part of the world and it is lovely that we can share it with our guests
We hope you can join us again in the future!

喜欢 The views from the pitch and seeing the lambs so close to the tent was amazing. The pitch was spacious and it it felt secluded and quiet.

The owners have clearly put a lot of work into the glamping feel and the main part of the site. The main part of the site is definitely somewhere I'd recommend.

不喜欢 The distance to the facilities was just too far to be comfortable. It was quite a way and was downhill there and uphill back. The road is not lit at night and I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable if I needed to use the toilet in the night. I wouldn't be able to recommend that field to anyone simply because the toilets are too far away. I would have loved a simple composting toilet or something just to be able to use at bedtime.

The toilets closest to Piggy Back Field are not the ones in the photos on pitch up, they are not modern like the ones in the photos, they are much further down within the rest of the site. There's nothing wrong with these facilities, it's just not what is shown on the photos.

For some reason, only one shower out of the three was in use when we stayed so we had to wait while the other showered before walking back up together.

Our field felt very separate from the main site.

来自经理: Thank you for joining us here at Humble Bee Farm during a busy Bank Holiday weekend.
We appreciate that you chose to stay with us in Piggy Back Field campsite, which has stunning views over the Yorkshire Wolds, which is a naturally hilly area in North Yorkshire.
Piggy Back Field offers spacious pitches and lots of space for families and couples, so they can relax and recharge.
The facilities onsite include toilets, showers, wash up area, shop and reception, The Hive café bar, the indoor play area, the Farmyard Gang and the hen house, which are all within walking distance of Piggy Back.
We opened Piggy Back in 2024 and so far we’ve had overwhelmingly positive feedback and rarely has the distance from the site facilities from Piggy Back been mentioned.
We have also put clear signage in place as to where the facilities are located and we even provide a map for guests when they check in at reception so they know where everything is.
Just so readers of this review are aware, we have two toilet blocks here at Humble Bee Farm.
We can confirm that we have put the correct photos on the listing for the main site camping/electric hook up area.
These facilities were recently modernised and any of our guests can use them.
The facilities which are closer to Piggy Back include two toilet cubicles with washbasins; three showers with wash basins; a wash up area.
While these are not a big as the main facilities, they are always kept very clean and are closer to Piggy Back and therefore are more convenient than the main site ones, and are pictured on the correct listing.
Regarding your comment about the showers not being in use: as mentioned there are three showers in the ones near Piggy Back and these are contained within spacious cubicles.
If there are any queries as to which showers are in use, then staff, who are onsite from 7am in the morning, are more than happy to help with a query.
We can confirm all three showers were in use later in the Bank Holiday Weekend.
Just as a last comment, reception is open daily between 9am and 5pm, where help and advice is readily given.
FAQs on the Humble Bee Farm website which provides answers to many questions.
This includes recommending campers in Piggy Back bringing a small camping toilet if they can.
We thank you again for your comments and feedback, from everyone at Humble Bee Farm.

喜欢 The piggyback field is great if you want great views and it's a more peaceful stay as it's a bit further away from the facilities and glamping but it is open so you will feel the weather more
Shop open daily and clean showers and toilets
Friendly staff
Good 4g/5g signal on the field

不喜欢 Cafe/Pizza hut closed but understandable as it was out of season when we stayed

喜欢 Loved the glamping feel and its quirkiness. Hot tub was a massive hit and was exactly what we needed. It was lovely and clean and provided the basic essentials.
