- Tiny adults-only motorhome site in a North Yorkshire orchard
- On the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds and 10 minutes' drive to the coast
- In the grounds of a luxury B&B with a 2 AA Rosette restaurant on site
Put that pot noodle down… Travelling in a motorhome doesn’t have to mean resorting to convenience foods when you pick a pitch at Orchard Lodge, just off the A1039 in the North Yorkshire village of Flixton.
This is a tasty location indeed – not only is this tiny site tucked away in an apple orchard but it’s also just behind a luxury B&B that’s home to a 2 AA Rosette restaurant (the only one in the area, in fact). The Wolds restaurant opens evenings from Thursday to Saturday, with chef Michael serving up an award-winning menu crafted from the best local produce. (It probably goes without saying that this is a popular place, so you should definitely book your table in advance.)
Even aside from the dining, this is a fabulous place to stay, with just a couple of pitches in a peaceful spot that’s set up for adults only. The owners are experienced former motorhomers themselves, so they’re well aware of what guests need for a comfortable stay. That means you’ll have access to electric and water hook-ups, plus a toilet block; they’ll also give you a hand with waste water and grey water emptying if you ask.
This is a quiet little site where you should be able to relax, listen to the birds chirping in the trees and look up into dark starry skies on clear nights. But despite its quiet rural location it’s also well located for exploring – you’ll be right on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, about 10 minutes’ drive from the coast and 15 minutes or so from the southern end of the North York Moors National Park.

Local attractions
Some countryside time first? Turn your sights south for walks and bike rides in the gently hilly landscapes of the Yorkshire Wolds, or look north for the North York Moors National Park, where you can go mountain biking and try the Go Ape course at Dalby Forest (35 minutes’ drive) or opt for a more leisurely day out on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Pickering (half an hour).
Over at the coast, you may like to visit the long sandy beach in Filey (10 minutes) or drive a little further to Scarborough (20 minutes) for the open-air theatre, castle and Sea Life Centre as well as the beach. If you don’t fancy the sea, you can swim at Scarborough’s Alpamare UK or bound across the inflatables at North Yorkshire Water Park (20 minutes).
Elsewhere at the coast, look out for birds at RSPB Bempton Cliffs (25 minutes) or see if you can spot seals at Hunmanby Gap (15 minutes).
