Cliff Farm Holidays Reviews

Touring caravan site

Clean site, but for us, the smell of chicken or pig sheds in a nearby field spoilt what would have been a excellent site. Also, there were quite a few flies about.

Beautiful site with lots of space and great views

Lovely, peaceful farm site. Great size pitches which were well-maintained. Really friendly staff. The location was 3 miles from Pickering along a main road. It was necessary to drive anywhere as there were no pavements along a very busy road. This would be the only thing to be aware of when selecting the site.

Peaceful

Lovely site, very peaceful and clean. Just what we needed for our first trip in our new van. Thankyou.

Not for me

Not my cup of tea. Facilities dated. Farm dog runs around freely. Not good when you have a reactive dog. Area was nice. Flies, guess that comes with a working farm.

Peace and quiet

Lovely campsite with nice and clean facilities. Perfect for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Gorgeous views

Friendly welcome from Simon who works a few days a week on the caravan site. Spoke to owners a couple of times too during our stay and they were friendly too. Views are spectacular. Facilities clean and simple. Generous pitch size and spacing. Grass areas in centre of both caravan fields for children to play etc. Fair pricing, including the extra fee of metered electric upon arrival (we spent £5 over 2 nights for a family of 4). Will be returning.

Welcoming campsite with lovely views

A great campsite within walking distance of the village of Sinnington. The family who own the site were very welcoming and helpful - I loved how the check-in area is in their lovely farmhouse kitchen! We were able to buy fresh eggs for breakfast in the morning. The showers were the only downside - not very powerful and made rinsing shampoo a bit tricky, but they were nice and warm which is the main thing. All in all, a lovely site and we'd happily return.

Nicely laid out, friendly site

Found this site using Campsites.co.uk and chose this particular site due to its closeness to Pickering, having never been. When we arrived at this actual working farm, reception was unmanned, but one of the workers took control and showed me the allocated pitch etc and also explained the need to buy credit for the EHU as it was on a meter setup. I don't think this is the way forward as it seemed a quite expensive tariff, but this site is running that way. Personally, I would be prepared to pay a small increase on pitch fees as £7.50 for three nights seemed quite a lot, considering I used a tv, fridge and warmed the water on an Alde system. Rest of site was ok with walks around the farm laid out and signposted as short, medium and long dependant on your choice. Facilities were ok with hot water aplenty whenever I used the showers. Location was just off the main road with a private drive so easy to go to various places. Views were good as weather allowed which was varied to say the least.

Thank you for your review. We make no money on the electric and you are charged at the same rate that we are billed. We have gone down this route as we thought that it was the fairest way to cover the cost of our electricity. We do refund on departure what electric you haven't used.

Lovely little site, quite remote

Park is in a lovely spot, we took quite a long walk into a village to a gorgeous pub for dinner. The nearest shop is quite a distance away.

A very wet but lovely weekend

Lovely tranquil site. Facilities were excellent and spotless. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Holiday

Lovely place to go. Great owners, very helpful, great views. We will be back.

Really friendly people

Great spot. Really quiet and peaceful. Simon was very friendly, and gave some fantastic recommendations for places to eat in the locality. Our dogs were very relaxed on the site.

Fantastic site

Fantastic site. Perfect for what we needed. Friendly people on site and very helpful.

Fantastic site, location and people

Will definitely be going back. Only tiny criticism is it would be nice to have one or two dog poo bins on the amazing walks so you don't have to carry your bags with you all the way round. All good otherwise, a fantastic site.

Highly recommended

Great site in a lovely location. Great walks with the dog around the farmland and into Sinnington. Nice and peaceful, which is what we wanted.

Nice quiet site

Nice and quiet site. Very tidy with great owners. Shower and toilet block clean. Great value for money. Good location for East Coast and North York Moors. No complaints at all. What's not to like?!

Thank you for your review. We do hope to see you again soon.

Good site

The caravan park was pretty clean considering it's on a working farm. The grass was pretty wet but the hard standing pitches were good. The owner did say they had a bit of a downpour few days previously.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. We are on heavy clay land and when the land gets wet, it gets wet! We have hard standing pitches and roads so that the site can be used all year round. We do hope to see you again another time.

Our stay

We had a great stay at Cliff Farm and would definitely return. We had an added bonus of seeing a calf being born.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. Spring time is a good time to visit us if you want to see new born calves playing in the yards and sheds! We do hope to see you again soon.

Easter Break

Excellent site on a working farm and a convenient central location for multiple places. Be aware that the charge for electricity is additional to what we paid when booking and is put on a pre paid card when arriving at site,but not an issue. In fact, I think it's a great idea, as you pay for what you use and any unused on the card is refunded when leaving. Very friendly and helpful people at the site. Only one minor issue is the shower heads are fixed, set very high and have a wide spray, so you have no choice as to whether you wash your hair or not when taking a shower, It's almost impossible to avoid every part of you getting wet. Other than that, a great few days and would certainly recommend and will definitely go back again.

Thank you for your review. The electric meters are new to us this season and the majority of people are finding them to be a good idea. We are glad that you have enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again soon.

1 night stay

Very quiet and relaxing with clean toilets and facilities.

One night stay

Great site and location. Lovely and clean toilet/shower block. Nice signposted dog walk. Quiet site. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Last minute weekend away

The pitches were all gravel and the one we were on was nice and level. The location is ok for light walking. Not a great deal close around. We walked into Pickering, just short of 4 miles. Local pub in Sinnington and was reasonably priced. My main gripe was the price for electricity.

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite. The toilet /shower block was spotless. When we arrived we were asked how much we wanted to put on the card for electric. We were only staying one night so we put £10 and what you don't use you get refunded. We only spent 49 pence and the owner did say campervans tend to only use £2 or £3 per weekend so not too bad!
