  • Static caravan with North Sea views on a Whitby farm, North Yorkshire
  • Access to The Cleveland Way from site; Goathland 20 minutes’ drive
  • Kitchen and private decking; pubs and shops 20 minutes’ walk
Seaside holiday or stay in an historic town? No need to decide when you book a break at Brook House Farm, set on clifftops with breathtaking sea and moorland views but just 20 minutes’ walk from the centre of Whitby. You have the rest of both worlds: peace and seclusion on a working farm, yet townie attractions like shops, pubs and restaurants close at hand too. Well-insulated against any inclement Yorkshire weather, the accommodation is in a static caravan sleeping four in proper beds, with living, dining and kitchenette areas and plenty of space so you don’t get under each other’s feet. You’ll have awesome North Sea panoramas from the timber decking – there’s also a sheltered gravelled area for catching the sun – and mysterious Whitby Abbey stands out on the horizon. Brook House Farm is surrounded on all sides by green fields and the sea; there is secure private parking at the site, which is at the end of a no-through road. Your only company is very likely to be the pigs, Suzie the friendly sheep and the occasional moggy on pest-control duties.

What customers say

Brook House Farm: Peaceful escape with great sea and Abbey views, near Whitby. Guests love the quiet, friendly owners and farm animals. Basic, clean facilities are adequate. Some wish for better ablutions and washing-up. Good value for location and peace.

Darren L.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Brook house farm is the perfect stripped back getaway, the small number of pitches make it a very peaceful stay and the views from the pitches across the fields to the sea are stunning. The toilet and shower block ( 1 toilet 1 shower) are spotlessly clean.
The added bonus it's within a 20 minute walk to Whitby along the coastal path or a couple of hours hike to Robin hoods bay. Also a big shout out to Tom the farmer who went above and beyond to help me back in my campervan when we accidentally locked ourselves out, thank you Tom.
If you want peace, quite and relaxing stay and don't mind the basics this is for you.
PS, we had no issues with the toilet seat !!!!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We really enjoyed our 3 nights at Brook house farm. We had beautiful views out to sea. It was easy to walk to the abbey and we enjoyed a drink and pizza at the brewery. We were able to also walk into Whitby from the site. It is close to a beautiful beach and to public footpaths. There was a toilet and shower but as there are only 5 pitches and it wasn’t full this was fine. It was lovely and quiet and peaceful.

Disliked This has been mentioned before on a review. The toilet seat doesn’t fit properly so it doesn’t stay up which makes sitting on it uncomfortable and difficult.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review, great pictures! Especially the cheeky chick's

Anne P.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Great views and close to the Abbey, about 20 minute walk.

Disliked The campsite is very basic, and facilities weren't kept very tidy. The bin in the toilet was full when we arrived and remained so for a couple of days, so I am assuming that the hand towel hadn't been changed either. I have noticed from other reviews that the owners, who we didn't see , come back with the answer "you should have phoned" when problems have been pointed out. It shouldn't be down to the guests to get in touch, the facilities should be serviced daily by the owner of the site. I think the site was over priced for the facilities available.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Anne, I did pop on the site several times while you were here but failed to bump into you.
I do wish you had raised any issues you faced whilst here.
The bin is emptied as and when needed and the showers and toilets cleaned daily.
They are literally a brand new unit so unsure what it is you were looking for.
Mayne better suited to the large commercial sites.
Regards
To.

A lovely quiet site with fabulous views and close enough to Whitby.

Liked The quiet location, beautiful views, and close proximity to Whitby Abbey and town.

Disliked Only one toilet/shower. It was not a problem on our stay as there were very few other guests but would be if there were more.

From the manager: Thanks for staying with us. Best regards
