Single Axle Caravan - All Weather Touring Super Pitches (Lower Area)Oct 2024

We loved our stay at the Crows Nest. This was our 1st time using this site and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The facilities were great. From pitch quality, bathroom/showers, pub, chippy, reception and amazing view of the sea with walkways, I don't think there's anything else we could have asked for in a caravan site. The site catered for families and individuals. It was quiet but with a great atmosphere. Overall, we loved our stay and will definitely be back as the location opened up so many options for day trips to different towns, like Filey, Scarborough and York to name a few. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.
