Liked: The site is a working farm as advertised so don’t expect any luxuries! It is a small and peaceful site very picturesque. The farmer (Ian) had to tow us with the tractor a couple of times as the weather was so wet the field got a bit waterlogged- not the fault of the site- blame Mother Nature! Ian was very helpful and good natured about it! The site has good access roads and a railway station nearby. Driffield is only about 5-10 min drive and worth a visit. The village itself has 3 pubs - 2 of which were doing food when we were there. We ate at the cross keys (Petros restaurant within) and the food was excellent… well worth a visit. Overall a decent site, pitches are level ( all grass) and electric on each pitch. It’s basic but you get what you pay for and we will definitely be back.
Disliked: Rain! ☔️ The toilet / shower is very basic but seemed clean- we had our own facilities so didn’t use the shower.

Liked: Lovely little site on a working farm, please read the info before booking , the one shower/toilet is in an out building so expect cobwebs, bugs , didn’t bother me , the price you pay reflects the amenities. Nafferton is a lovely village , and an hour walk into Driffield, you can hear trains at time but not through the night . All grass pitches some with ehu. Yes I’d definitely stay again when need to be in the area . The Star pub in Nafferton does really nice food , the chap is Greece so there some Greek food on the menu ,all homemade,

Liked: The location of this site is very good nice and peaceful. The farmer or his wife always welcome us when we arrive. The facilities are basic but what i would expect for a budget site. The wildlife is great i love it when I see the owl flying around I have also seen deer and hares and many other birds.Its a working farm with cows, sheep, ducks and chickens. There is few nice walks in the area too. In the village there is a local shop and 3 pubs. We have recommended this site to many people as its near the coast and many attractions to see. Also Public transport (train and bus) is ideal we don’t even have drive. 👍

Liked: After reading a few reviews was unsure what to expect. Lovely personal welcome on arrival..choice of electric pitches to choose from. What an amazing, chilled and rural part of the country yet so close to an ideal train station so we could explore and leave the van. If you want glamping then book elsewhere. If you want a proper working farm with escaped sheep popping to say hello on a morning and wildlife galore then this is the place for you. Plenty of walks nearby without using the van. Bathroom facilities are sufficient with a lovely hot shower and we loved it and will be back again in the Summer next year.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: We chose this location for the start of our month stay in North Yorkshire, our first time of staying in this county, for a relaxing break and the opportunity of travelling on the railway.
Disliked: Upon arrival we were greeted by the owner, chatted and very friendly. However, I asked him where were we to drain off our grey waste and was told 'let it run into the hedge' which was immediately behind the electric hook up and our motorhome. The weather was sunny and very hot there were flies everywhere. This was not appropriate. Whilst the site was reasonabely priced this was very off putting. Generally we use our own facilities but expect to dispose of waste in the appropriate manner. Upon seeing the condition of the 'Elsan' point the following morning we knew we wouldn't be comfortable using it, it was awkward to access, very dark and very dirty. The toilet and shower room was a dumping area and had no comparison with the usual sites we have stayed at with Pitch-up The following morning we packed up and left, deciding to cut our losses and try to find another site for the start of our holiday.

From the manager: This guest was told (after asking) it was ok to throw washing up water into the hedge. It's quite normal for most campers. It is not compulsory. They were not told the HAD to. It was their choice! Waste is a very different matter. Flies - it was one of the hottest weekends of th e year and it's a working farm surrounded by other farms who were doing field work. We cannot control flies. It is The countryside. The Elsan is simply behind a fence panel so don't understand what was difficult to walk behind it. It's on level ground and easily accessed. It has The benefit of running water there - who h some sites dont.it is shielded and private for obvious reasons. The toilet and shower - if you have any photos of the "dumping ground" we would appreciate sight of them. We have had very many good reviews about the facility. It's basic but spacious. The photos show what's in there, apart from showing what literature is in there for guests. Lots of 10/10's generally so I hope that readers will see this is a very "at odds" and totally unfair review. Had you spoken to us or even replied to our messages when we showed concern for your welfare we could have discussed it.
Very pleasant and friendly farmer, basic site as described.

Liked: Warm shower, loved the animals, nice location, lovely farmer.
Disliked: Trains. Just passing we could cope with, it was the horn they sounded as it came to the level crossing every time drove us a bit mad.

From the manager: Thank you for your scores and feedback. We hope you come again. It was unfortunate about the train noise - I believe they were doing some work , this isn't normal. It's usually extremely quiet here. Thanks for coming and we look forward to seeing you again. 😁
