Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked: I liked the position as is only 10 mins walk into the heart of Whitby centre. The sea view is a lovely bonus, as is the Whitby brewery only next door & the abbey across the road. The site is surprisingly quiet for its size & was checked by staff regularly. There are 2 separate toilet blocks consisting of 3 toilets and wash basin, no shower, which the site does state anyway, these facilities are topped up with toilet rolls & hand sanitizer regularly. There are Elsan waste tanks & a water tank along with skips for rubbish dotted around the site.
Disliked: There is nothing I disliked about this site, it’s states the facilities it has before booking.

Liked: The pitch was perfect for our stay, close to the Abbey, shops and cafes/ restaurants.
The field didn’t have a shower block but there were toilets and provision for emptying our Elsan toilet cassette.
The pitch was spacious and quiet.

Only a short stroll into town with good food and drinks options.
