  • Yorkshire Wolds site in the old walled gardens of Thorpe Hall
  • A 15-minute drive from Bridlington and 35 minutes from Scarborough
  • Coarse fishing pond 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 pond 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.

Liked Fairly quiet area, close to Bridlington, site was clean and high walls made it better for weather protection.

Ray H.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The site is clean, tidy and well laid out. The shower/toilet block is well fitted, modern and very clean.

Disliked Not a dislike, but we were confused about the plot layout rules. They require vehicles to be parked on the offside of the caravan, which means that any porterage back and forth has to carried around the van, I'm not sure what the logic is?
Unfortunately our stay was a bit blighted, firstly by a breakdown of wifi which made it a bit akward as we always arrange our itinery on the fly, using the internet.
There was also, a short failure in electricity supply. Both of these issues were not the fault of the site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and rating Ray. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and can only apologise for the failure of the internet and electrical supply which as you mention, is beyond our control. Major works continue in the area by broadband providers to get homes and businesses up and running again.
Our set up request is to keep a consistent approach for all pitches across the site. This helps to ensure we keep all guests safe in compliance with our site licence and fire regulations.
We hope the parking wasn't too much of an issue and that we get to welcome you back again in the future :0)

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The site was very clean and tidy and looked lovely when we arrived . The toilets and showers were always immaculate even though they were also a little dated . All staff were friendly and very helpful. We would definitely visit again if we were in the area .

Disliked There was little or no WI-FI connection which caused us major problems .
Tv reception was also poor but there is a tv point on the pitch if you have an aerial lead long enough . The pitches were very uneven and wet even though the weather was lovely

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and rating and we're very pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We do advise on the booking platform and again in subsequent communications that Wi-Fi cannot be guaranteed. We also mention that TV signal is beyond our control which is why we provide the TV connection points on each pitch and to bring a long length of coax. Most customers can pick up 80+ channels using this method. We are hopeful that the work we have done this winter will improve the Wi-Fi.
We'd love to welcome you back so please give us a call in advance for an update prior to booking.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked site on arrival very good reception showed how to pitch up in the correct place on site very clean nice site weather was a bit hit and miss but but not to far from something to do will use this site again

Disliked slight road noise but that is a trade off for good access to main roads and easy to find

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.
