  • Small site in the well-kept grounds of a B&B near Yarm
  • A 20-minute drive from the coast; 45 minutes from Whitby
  • Well-regarded pub a short walk away
Small and well-kept, The Old Mill is in the grounds of a small six-room B&B on the edge of High Leven, around five minutes’ drive from the little market town of Yarm. Surrounded by well-kept gardens, the touring pitches have a pretty backdrop. Facilities on site include free wifi and a toilet block; there are no shower facilities. For evening meals, the highly recommended local pub is a two-minute walk down the lane (it's best to book ahead as it's a popular spot). Yarm High street is five minutes' drive away with several popular pubs and eateries (and taxis available locally if you'd like a drink or two). There's also a playground close by and an electric vehicle charging point. Days out around here might involve a wander around Yarm (for the castle and some tasty independent shops), a trip to the seaside at Saltburn-by-the-Sea or Whitby, a boat trip on the River Tees, a round of golf, or taking an alpaca for a walk from a nearby farm (now that’s not something you get to do every day…)

What customers say

A welcoming spot with friendly staff and a lovely setting, handy for a pub and playground. Pitches are often seen as good value, clean, and well-kept. However, some guests found tree branches tricky for access, and a lack of advertised showers and other facilities was a recurring letdown. Wi-Fi can be spotty.

Local attractions

Alpaca Alpaca (10 minutes’ walk) is the name of the farm where you can get trekking with an alpaca as your companion. Once you’re all warmed up, bigger hikes can be tracked down in the North York Moors National Park (20 minutes’ drive) or you could prep your legs for the 199 Steps in Whitby (45 minutes). This coastal spot has lots in the way of holiday activities, from a seaside fix at the beach to the abbey, brewery and Captain Cook Museum in the town. Meanwhile, a day out in Saltburn-by-the-Sea (20 minutes) could look like ice cream by the beach, a trip up the cliff tramway for some splendid views or taking in the fresh sea air on the pier. When you want to stick somewhere close by to the site, a small wander around Yarm Castle and high street (five minutes) is one option. Others are Middlesbrough Golf Club (10 minutes) or the Victorian street and museum at Preston Park Museum (10 minutes) Set off for some scenic ruins instead if you wish, as some of the Augustinian Gisborough Priory (25 minutes) still stands and guests can imagine what it looked like in its heyday.
