  • Dog-friendly farm site one mile from Robin Hood's Bay
  • Walking distance from the beach, village and the Cleveland Way
  • Horses welcome; shops and restaurants nearby
Robin Hood’s Bay was once the stomping ground of smugglers, but you’ll be the new sharks about this place… you see, Farsyde Farm is only one mile from the beach and village, so you’ll be well-based for hunting down rockpools, ancient fossils and cobbled streets chock-full with independent shops, pubs and fish and chip shops. Plus, you’ll get to freestyle right onto the Cinder Track or Cleveland Way, as both trails are 10 minutes' walk away. More on that new den of yours… the peaceful Farsyde Farm is surrounded by the coast and countryside, and the large field spies over the grand Ravenscar cliffs, the countryside and the sea. When you’re not preoccupied with the views and splendid sunrises or sunsets, dark starry nights take over by night – just the thing after a day spent walking, mountain biking or following family trails locally. When it comes to getting your go-to snacks and meals, there’s no need to put the car into action either. The village and its well-stocked shops are 15 minutes’ walk away along the Cleveland Way. Of course, the beach might very well reel you in with its rockpools and fossils (just be sure to take care, especially with the kids). There are good facilities on site, including two flushing toilets, showers, a tap and a washing-up area. Those of you who have horses in your flock will be happy to find they’re welcome too, and guided rides are available. An added bonus is that this site is home to a flock of adorable Valais Blacknose sheep and a small herd of alpacas.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great location for proximity to Robin Hoods Bay and Boggle Hole. Children enjoyed looking at all the animals and running around making friends with other campers.

Disliked Children running near other tents was technically on the extensive “Don’t’s” list. Which also included practically all cooking equipment. Limited amounts of facilities, just one shower and two toilets for all the pitches. Also woken very early by the farm animals.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: You are staying on farm which has animals which is clear on booking and in the sites name. We are in an area of extreme fire risk. Also, its clear on Pitchup what is allowed . Your friend Izzy has left a review too. You were allowed to pitch together. Don't stay on a farm if you don't like animal noise.

We had a nice trip but would probably look elsewhere next time

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Amazing views, good location for robin hoods bay/boggle hole. Facilities generally pretty clean. Lots of animals for kids to look at.

Disliked Owner came across as quite hostile upon arrival for no apparent reason. Shower an extra £1 despite being lukewarm and limited lighting in the toilets at night. The pitches aren’t cheap so not sure why showers are extra, and cash isn’t something people generally have on them. Why not just charge an extra £1 a night?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: On booking you agree to terms and conditions including the shower being extra. There is no restriction on length of time in shower and it is hot but maybe it was user error. Lighting is kept to a minimum as we are in a dark skies national park you are advised to bring a torch. Hostile no just surprised that you wanted to be together as a group

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fantastic views & setting
Facilities are basic but all that you need

Disliked Just read the other reviews. The host is hostile & rude which spoilt our stay. We left after 1 night and went to a site nearby (middlewood farm) instead who were fantastic, friendly & accommodating.

I feel so sorry for whoever takes over this site when it fails, as they will have hundreds of terrible reviews to undo.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Claimed they had to leave after one night when they had only booked one night. Arrived after check in. On arrival they wanted to pitch extra tent which wasn't booked in. We were full had no availability for another tent. I wasn't rude but they didn't like not being able to put extra tents up. If they prefer Middlewood all well and good . It is incredibly frustrating when campers arrive late and then want to put up extra tents - you wouldn't go to a hotel and expect to be able to use extra rooms.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The location was out of the way, so very quiet and peaceful and not crowded at all. Facilities were basic and all that was needed for a simple comfortable stay. Surrounded by so many types of animals but none disturbed my sleep and added to a nature-type environment. 10 min walk into the village.

Local attractions

So, where to get walking to? You’ll be going off-road on the 22-mile Cinder Track (10 minutes' walk). Depending on which way you go, Scarborough or Whitby could be your end destination… with the latter, you’ll be on track for the gothic-style Whitby Abbey (15 minutes' drive), and spooky it is, as the 13th-century abbey was the inspiration for the Dracula novel. The Cleveland Way (10 minutes' walk) is another cycling or walking route pretty much on your doorstep. It passes through Scarborough and Whitby too, as well the North York Moors and Saltburn-by-the-Sea – there are 109 miles, so you may want to be choosy about which section you go for. When you’re ready to rest your feet, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (25 minutes' drive) is right and ready for a steam railway trip, perhaps on one of the historic Pullman carriages. As for those of you who aren’t ready for the action-packed activities to end just yet, there are the zipwires and treetop obstacles at Go Ape Dalby (45 minutes) or wakeboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking and an aqua park at North Yorkshire Water Park (45 minutes).
