Gostou Lovely site with all the amenities we could need (although we are very low maintenance and usually suffice with a field and cold running water). Check in very quick and easy. Family and dog friendly place to stay. It was busy given it was the summer holidays but not overly so, it didn’t feel cramped and noise levels were not excessive. Single sex groups are not allowed, presumably to discourage stag and hen do type groups, but as two mums with four girls we didn’t have a problem. There is a curfew of about 10pm when quiet is expected and whilst you could hear a few people chatting quietly it was not disruptive for sleeping at all. Gorgeous views from the upper camping field and gate to coastal path to Cayton Bay and Filey, it is steep though as it’s a cliff. Worth noting that the beach directly below is not sandy but only a mile walk to Cayton Bay or quick drive to plenty of other lovely, sandy beaches. Can also be very windy though as it’s quite exposed. Plenty of less exposed pitches though if that worries you. There was a much quieter camping field lower down away from the cliff top which I suspect would have been less windy. Pitches are not individually designated so you decide yourself where you want to pitch up when you arrive. Not a lot of flat ground available most is slightly angled due to the nature of the site, but not excessively so. We were very happy with our pitch. You are allowed one car on your pitch included in the price but can pay a small amount extra for an extra car too. Hot running water a luxury for us (whilst camping) and nice clean toilets and showers. Although a little maintenance needed here and there. Washing up facilities with hot and cold running water available by the toilet block and drinking water points dotted around for filling bottles from etc. The kids loved the pool even though it is quite small and they are quite big. We loved being able to send them on their own and having some peace and quiet to ourselves. (Can do this from aged 8 if you’re comfortable with that) Decent play park too although ours preferred to be in the pool so didn’t spend much time in it. WiFi and reception levels perfectly adequate for most people’s needs I should think too although we only used phones for the occasional phone calls and texts and googling what the little island was we could see. There is a little shop on site too with plenty of essentials in terms of food and camping equipment and a chippy, although we didn’t use that so can’t comment. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would come back.

Não gostou Generally speaking, the amenities were good and plentiful, although a little maintenance wouldn't go amiss. The small toilet by the pool was clean and perfectly usable, but the fittings were showing some signs of rust and the lock was quite rusty. The taps were also running continuously and wouldn't switch off. The main camping toilet block was nice and clean, with plenty of toilets and showers, but again a couple of the taps wouldn't turn off. There was also a leak or overflow somewhere, with water coming out from underneath one of the sink units and spreading across the floor. It wasn't a huge issue during our stay and certainly wouldn't put us off returning, but it's something that could easily be addressed. The showers were free and had good water pressure, but the temperature fluctuated and they only stayed on for quite a short burst before needing to be pressed again.

Do gerente: Thank you for your very detailed review, Catherine. We are really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and found Crows Nest clean, friendly and well located, with great views and plenty of facilities. It is lovely to know check in was quick and easy, the site felt family and dog friendly, and that you would come back. We are glad the non designated camping worked well for you, and that you enjoyed the upper field views and coastal paths. As you mention, the cliff top can be windy and the ground is naturally slightly angled in places, but many guests enjoy being able to choose their own pitch. We appreciate your comments regarding maintenance in the toilet and shower areas. The facilities are cleaned regularly and checked throughout the day, but we will take a look at the taps, fittings and any possible leaks you have mentioned. It is also great to hear the children enjoyed the pool and play park, and that the shop, chippy, washing up areas, drinking water points and WiFi all added to your stay. Thank you again for your balanced feedback and for recommending us. We hope to welcome you back to Crows Nest again soon.
