Humble Bee Farm

Positiv Absolutely brilliant stay here staff were all super friendly and helpful the campsite was very well maintained. The facilities were all very clean and looked after. It's a very very child friendly site with walks round the site and the best bit is every morning the kids can go and meet the farmer and help feed some of the animals if they want to. Would definitely recommend this site to anyone.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay on Piggy Back Campsite, which overlooks the Yorkshire Wolds here at Humble Bee.
We very much appreciate your comments about the facilities and about Farmer Percy Club, which is one of the highlights of a stay with us.
We hope you can join us again soon!

Positiv We really like it here and the kids love the animals. Especially the chickens. Only thing I would recommend is taking hard standing tent pegs. If you have small kids it would be worth taking a toilet as it’s a walk down the road.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for writing such a wonderful review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your visit.

We hope to see you again.

Positiv Loved the location, with shops a 5 minute drive away, near Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington, so provided a wide variety of things to do outside of the farm. Plenty to do on the farm with play area and farm animals to walk, feed and pet.

Kind regards,

Positiv The farm and facilities were great. It was clean, and there were lots of animals for the children to see. The park is small but enough to burn off some steam with the kids.

Check in was easy and the staff we interacted with were pleasant.

Negativ We were up on the Piggy Back section of the farm, and I think other campers felt the rules didn’t apply up there. The site has quiet time from 9:00pm which is why we chose it because our kids are young (3 and 6). Some families were respectful but most were not.

Other parents were not watching their children, and there was a disregard for the noise levels. I’m putting this politely here but ultimately we only stayed one night because it was that bad. We nearly packed up at 10:30pm because it was unenjoyable. We didn’t complain to the site and maybe they’d have rectified if we did; we didn’t want to be ‘those people’.

I think it would have been better if Humble Bee sent someone up to ensure everyone was being respectful of each other. I’ll be looking out for this on future campsites. (We are new to camping).

Someone came up in the following morning on the quad and I think they were checking people were being quiet in the AM. We were already packing up by this point.

Also, it’s worth noting Piggy back is on a hillside not in the valley like the rest of the site, so if it’s windy you’ll know about it.

There are a few camp spots in the valley on the main site so I’d probably go for those in future if we came back. Maybe that section was checked with it being closer to the main hub.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for joining us here at Humble Bee Farm and for your positive feedback about the site, facilities and the farmyard activities.
Thank you for mentioning about the check in which we aim to make as easy as possible and it’s also a chance for guests to meet our team and ask any questions if they have any.
Piggy Back is our newer campsite with stunning views across the Yorkshire Wolds with non-ehu and ehu pitches.
We are sorry to read that you felt some families that were staying on Piggy Back didn’t stick to our low noise policy from 9pm.
One of our team does inspect the entire site at intervals including an evening check and if there is any unnecessary noise, then it would be tackled at that point.
We send out a prearrival email which includes a phone number which can be used if a situation needs addressing; similarly, our office is open from 9am daily to 5pm where any issues can be raised and we would be more than happy to help resolve any difficulties that guests feel they have.
We are more than happy to help our guests if they have any queries so they can enjoy their stay to the fullest.
Thank you again from everyone at Humble Bee Farm.

Positiv Camped with friends on the main field at the end of all the glamping pods. There's only 5 pitches here and reasonably flat.
Plenty of space, easy access to water. A bit of a trek to the toilet and wash room but well kitted out.
Great play area for the children. And each morning you can go and feed the animals with the farmer, fun but gets busy.

Negativ Wasn't clear where each pitch started / finished, but plenty of space
No phone signal but there is WiFi available
Glad we read reviews before going, as we would not have been happy on the piggy back field, to far from toilets.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for joining us here at Humble Bee Farm.
We very much appreciate your comments about the pitches, facilities and the Farmer Percy Club each morning.
There is information on our website about the pitches here at Humble Bee Farm, and when guests check into reception we also hand out a map with a tag and we are happy to help any campers with questions regarding pitching.
For readers of this review, Piggy Back is our newer campsite at the top of the site with fantastic views and the toilets are located at the foot of the hill, close to our shop.
We hope you can join us again in the future, thank you.

Positiv Great location for exploring the local area.
Quiet site with a majority of campers being families.
Good clean facilities

Negativ The amount of wasps.

Thank you again from everyone at Humble Bee Farm.

Positiv Tent pitch...great view .

Negativ Shower...3 showers but sign saying use 'orange shower only'

Large bin overflowing, had to move some rubbish to fit in the bin.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Many thanks for joining us here at Humble Bee Farm and for staying with us on one of our two campsites here on our working farm.
You were staying on Piggy Back which has great views and is a short walk from toilets and showers.
The toilets and showers which are for Piggy Back guests usage includes three showers and two toilets.
During quieter weekends, then one shower is available for Piggy Back guests to use, along with the toilets.
It is worth noting however, there is an additional shower/toilet block on the main site too which are available for guests to use if they wish.
With regards to your comment about the having to move rubbish from the main bin.
While we check the toilets, showers, wash up areas and all bins regularly, at busy time there will be a build up and guests can always alert a member of the team, either in the Hive or in the shop/reception if they feel there is anything that needs or attention.
Once again we thank you for joining us here at Humble Bee Farm and for your feedback.
