  • 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.

What customers say

This well-maintained, peaceful working farm site offers spacious, clean pitches and excellent, modern facilities. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful owners, the beautiful rural location, and the numerous well-signposted dog walks around the farm. It's considered a great base for exploring the Yorkshire countryside, with nearby attractions easily accessible.

Lisa G.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked The friendly feel of this site, we were walked to our pitch and had all the key features pointed out. We were also invited to join in with a game of skittles which looked fun. We also liked the colour coded walks, we only did the short one but it was really scenic. The site didn't feel overcrowded even though we visited on a Saturday night. Will definitely go back.

Simon W.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked As a couple with a little sausage dog and touring caravan, we loved this beautiful site. The upkeep is lovely, facilities lovely and clean, staff amazing (both human and Pip the PR dog who often came to check we were ok). There’s plenty of walks to do from the site or a short drive away. We also visited Runswick Bay, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Flamborough and Scarborough as well. The site is easy to get to with a caravan in tow, has a lovely pub within walking distance and the scenery driving up was stunning. Would highly recommend!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Pip does like his PR role and takes it very seriously!! We thrilled that you have enjoyed your time with us and visiting the many attractions of the area. We do hope you will come and visit us again.

Liked Lovely warm welcome, clean and tidy site with excellent facilities. WiFi that works!

Disliked Long driveway with few passing places requires drivers (particularly ones towing) to look ahead, sadly some are not capable! NOT the fault of the site, just something to be aware of.

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.
