  • Peaceful rural site on a 120-acre working farm in Sinnington
  • On the edge of the North York Moors under an hour's drive from York
  • Walking trails around the farm for gorgeous Ryedale views
If you're the sort whose ideal rural break features not only heaps of peaceful space and gorgeous views but also a pub within walking distance and a bare minimum of narrow lanes to negotiate, Cliff Farm Holidays could well be the one for you. Access to this North Yorkshire site is pleasingly easy – just take a very short detour off the A170 and you'll be rewarded with 120 acres of working arable and beef farm. There’s stunning scenery at every turn, and the folk here have made the most of their Ryedale views by setting up walking trails around the farm leading to some of the prettiest corners. Walking’s also a great way to get to the nearest pub, a mere 15-minute stroll away in Sinnington, or to take in the trails of the North York Moors National Park, whose boundaries are a mile or so away. To grab a fish supper or stock up for your evening barbecue, it's a 10-minute drive to Pickering’s shops, supermarket and chippie. Days out can be any combo of coast, country and city that you fancy concocting: the seaside’s 45 minutes’ drive away at Scarborough, and York's historic streets are just under an hour away. Stately homes, animal park, heritage train rides and adventure parks are all in the local area, too. Facilities on site include a toilet block with showers and an accessible/family bathroom, a laundry room and a covered washing-up area. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you but must be on a lead at all times; there’s a dog run and mess bin provided.

Liked Immaculately clean and tidy. Rob was very helpful. He gave a great, informative talk/guided walk on his farm. We hired the Hideaway BBQ for New Year’s Eve which was brilliant. Excellent pub within 15 min walk.

Mike B.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked We loved the site and would definitely stay here again.

Disliked We stayed on Pitch 16 and found it hard work dragging a full Wastemaster up the hill to the grey waste discharge point. It would be a big improvement if a 2nd grey waste point could be installed at the bottom end of the site.

It would also be helpful if a light could be installed at the chemical waste point as it is very difficult to see what you are doing if you have to empty the waste at night.

Would return in warmer season.

Deborah A.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely little site in a great location. Rang the site manager when we arrived and she showed us to our pitch, which was level and had a water point. Prepayed for EHU on top of pitch price. Toilets are clean and very welcoming.
We didn't head out as were only there for one night and the weather was atrocious.

Disliked Prepay for EHU

Local attractions

Get set for action – there’s a whole heap of countryside antics to be had in the surrounds. The North York Moors National Park is a mile way, with all manner of trails for walkers and cyclists to roam along, and other activities including rock climbing, caving and abseiling. Those who’d like to trot around on horseback need only stroll up to Sinnington for a stables with pony rides, lessons and rural hacks. A top pick for those with a daredevil streak is Dalby Forest (25 minutes' drive), home to a Go Ape adventure park and mountain bike centre. For something a little more leisurely, take a stately stroll around Castle Howard or steam through the scenery on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway; both are about half an hour away. Something for the small sorts? Take a foray around Flamingo Land theme park and zoo (15 minutes) or see the big birds in action at the National Centre for Birds of Prey (20 minutes). Stacks of seaside frolics are 45 minutes away in Scarborough, and there's plenty to see in York (50 minutes) too.
