  • Serviced touring pitches at a North York Moors working family farm
  • A 25-minute drive to Whitby; Rievaulx Abbey 40 minutes
  • Within walking distance of pubs, shop, bakery and railway station
There are lots of scenic spots in the North York Moors National Park – but how about staying in a location described by one former guest as ‘so beautiful, I almost cried’? And that's just one of the many enthusiastic reviews for Congrave Farm Holidays… The views here are indeed fabulous, looking out over Danby Dale and with gorgeous greenery all around. But the scenery isn't the only selling point at this site – previous guests at this working family farm have also heaped praise on friendly and helpful owner Becky and noted how clean and tidy the small site is. The location helps a lot, too – because, despite those fabulous rural views giving the place a ‘middle-of-nowhere' vibe, it's only about a 15-minute walk from the village of Danby, home to a bakery, a shop and a railway station as well as two pubs. Danby Lodge National Park Centre is about a half-hour walk away for an adventure playground, a café and walking trails. Being within the national park means this is a great location for all sorts of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling and wild swimming. It's also an International Dark Sky Reserve so you can expect glittering displays on clear nights. And there's also the option of a day at the coast, as it's a 15-minute drive to Runswick Bay or 25 minutes to Whitby. Back at base, it’s a simple setup that's geared to tourers so there are no toilets or showers for guest use. Spacious pitches each have a water and electric hookup, and shared facilities include a chemical disposal point and a rubbish/recycling area.

What customers say

Peaceful, well-kept site with water, electric & grey waste. Guests rave about stunning views & Becky's warm welcome. Great for walks, with pubs & train nearby for Whitby. Some missed signal/WiFi, others welcomed the break. Watch for uneven pitches & road hum.

Liked Beautiful view from very large pitch and a great location on the edge of village. The train enables you to do one way walks along the Esk valley and even to spend a day in Whitby. So handy not having to drive. Take a screen shot of the train times before you arrive as there is no phone signal or WiFi. Friendly owner.

Disliked Not the fault of the owner but despite the huge pitches people seemed really confused about where to sit. Our neighbours never used their pitch but instead sat on the picnic bench on our pitch meaning our privacy was very limited. We spoke to the owner who apologised and said she will make it clearer with arrows or some other indicator. It is also worth mentioning there is some road noise as the rear wall of the site backs onto a minor road. It’s very quiet at night.

Local attractions

Keen to hike? You’ve come to the right area, as there are lots of trails to choose from – with one of the closest being Danby Beacon (five minutes' drive), a historical spot that also happens to have sweeping views across the moors. Captain Cook's Monument (20 minutes) is another top choice, with fine views from the top of Easby Moor; if you're up for a bit of scrambling, The Wainstones (35 minutes) may be the place for you. If that all sounds a little exhausting, how about a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway? There are several stations to choose from, but Goathland (half an hour) is particularly popular because of its starring role in the Harry Potter films. Alternatively, take a wander around the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey (40 minutes). Over at the coast, favourite spots include Whitby (25 minutes), for its Gothic abbey, 199 Steps and Captain Cook Museum, and the cute fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay (35 minutes).
