  • 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.

This is a very clean, peaceful campsite on a working farm, praised for its well-spaced pitches, immaculately maintained facilities, and friendly, welcoming owners. Guests enjoyed the farm walks, interaction with animals, and the quiet atmosphere, with many expressing a desire to return. A few minor issues regarding waste disposal and the need for levelling blocks were noted, with managers responsive to feedback.

Liked Everything. This is a super campsite. Lots of spaces between pitches. Nice walks. Absolutely friendly people. Fresh eggs. Fully equipped Laundry, all the usual water, waste, bins and electric. Electric is via a charged card which you get refunded for what you don't use when you leave. This site is a must. So quiet at night we slept like babies. No rowdiness or noise after 9 and no one was banging about till about 730. Showers and toilet are immaculate. We will be back. Pip the farm dog was a great hit with our old boy too

Liked We loved staying at a farm location and really enjoyed interracting with some of the farm animals. And LOVED the farm cats and the dog who came for a visit twice a day on his rounds!
Spotlessly clean facilities. Very helpful staff member.

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.
