Middlewood Farm Holiday Park Reviews

Wonderful stay, spotless site and everyone friendly

Absolutely loved this site, so peaceful in a beautiful setting. The site is well maintained, the facilities are cleaned twice a day with lovely showers. The short walk to Robin Hood's Bay was lovely. Definitely coming again, can't wait to come back.

AMAZING. Thank you so much for your brilliant review. We hope to see you again soon.

Poor site facilities

Poor site facilities for a supposedly '5 star site'. Would not recommend or go back. 3 water taps for the whole site, very poor quality hardstanding, I feel that the recycling needs sorting out - all rubbish seems to go in a skip.

Amazing

Very nice place to camp, would highly recommend it 👍 with a great 10 minute walk to the beach and amazing views on the cliff tops.

Thank you for your 5 star review. We hope to see you again.

Good family weekend

Really enjoyed our weekend, facilities on family field a little dated but clean and all working. Play park was lovely. Walked down into Robin Hood's Bay along a cinder track, just a fab location. We had 4 and 7 year old who both had the best weekend!

Site's response

Amazing. Thank you.

Lovely campsite, perfect location, really enjoyed our stay

We stayed with young children for a weekend away. The campsite was clean, pitches were a decent size, there were farm animals around. The site was a 10 minute walk down to the Robin Hood's Bay village which was perfect. The facilities were great, lots of toilets close to the pitches, park area for the children, freezer and laundry room, lots of bins around. We would definitely visit again! Thank you.

What a great review. Thank you.

Short break

Nice site, close enough to a shop and Robin Hood's Bay and plenty of walks available.

Thank you for your 5 star review. We hope to see you again.

Great location

Spacious pitches with a stunning backdrop! Nice walk into Robin Hoods Bay, direct from farm. Clean and hot water showers. Near to Whitby Bay for a day out. No shop onsite however shop and pub within walking distance in pretty village.

Site's response

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

Extra large pitches!

Pitches not as large as implied. Toilets where clean. Site was a bugger to get to if you have a large unit, the road to it was closed so a diversion was in place. It would be wise to warn people on approach to the site to warn of the village access as the locals park on the road and have not other choice, so it will be tight for larger units. It was tight getting past and out again, so we personally would not visit again. But smaller units tents etc it would be okay. I'd not say the pitch was extra large.

Site's response

I was sorry to read your negative review which mainly concerned a road closure which I have no control over! It was just for 1 day. If you had read our information, you would have seen our directions. As regards the pitch sizes, they are 10 metres wide, is that not enough?

Value for money

Pleasant site. Pitch good. Toilets and showers clean. Value for money. Nice and quiet. Walking distance of pub serving food.

Glamping on the North Yorkshire coast

This was my first time in a glamping pod, and I was not disappointed. The pod was clean and fitted with electric lights, heater, power points, microwave and electric kettle. The bed was comfortable and the insulated pod was good protection against chilly nights. The site facilities were cleaned to a high standard on a daily basis. During my stay, the grounds were also being maintained to high standard, grass trimmed, tent pitches being rolled, pot holes filled and rolled and hedges trimmed. Overall, the site is of a high standard. The site is a short walk from Robin Hoods Bay and also well located for access to Whitby, Scarborough, Staithes, Runswick Bay and Sandsend, all within 15 to 30 minutes drive, which suited my requirements exactly, fossil hunting on the many beaches the area had to offer, and taking in the views from the many walks. Shops were within easy reach on the approach to Whitby. The area also offers numerous walking routes, and splendid views can be had along sections of the Cleveland way and North Yorkshire path. Overall, I would highly recommend this site, whether in tent, caravan, motor home or pod. There are numerous attractions along this coast to suit all tastes

FANTASTIC. Thank you so much for your amazing, detailed 5 star review. I hope we see you again.

Fantastic campsite with beach close by

What a beautiful place to stay. Level, well drained grass pitch. Facilities are spotless and well maintained. Lovely 10 min walk down to Robin Hoods Bay and the beach. Just perfect! We’ll definitely be coming back.

Site's response

What an AMAZING 5 star review. Thank you.

Lovely site

We loved the site as it had everything we needed. We stayed on the family field which was just the right size and had a park which kept the kids entertained when we needed to pitch the tent etc. The facilities were as expected, nice enough and clean toilets and a clean wash up area. The ground wasn't too waterlogged despite the awful rain we've had so that was an unexpected bonus! The only downside was that we had some very noisy neighbours. We chose the family field as we camped with our 3 and 4y old, and assumed night time would be quite. We deliberately put the boys to bed late both nights as we know it's expected to hear noise late into the evening. But both nights, we lay in bed listening to our neighbours be loud and merry until 11:30pm. They were a group of 'later in life' people with no kids and I completely get why they would want to do that, it's their holiday, but I was confused why they would stay in a family field with kids on if they wanted late nights drinking? It didn't ruin things, the kids slept through it, and luckily the rain drowned them out on the second night. But it would have been nice to not have that. Overall though, really lovely place and perfect location to walk to the beach, so would definitely stay again.

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

Beautiful site

Short drive to Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby. The toilets/showers are lovely and clean. The entrance to the field has a barrier which is locked between 11pm-7am so if you're a night owl, this isn't for you.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. The barrier does not stop you walking into the Park, but it does stop cars entering the Park and disturbing our guests.

Fantastic campsite

My first time visiting and I will definitely be back. Excellent location, 20 minute walk to beautiful Robin Hood’s Bay and 3 hour coastal walk to Whitby. Very friendly and informative welcome, great facilities and very well maintained campsite.

FANTASTIC 5 Star review. Thank you so much. We look forward to seeing you again.

The site is great and the facilities are spot on

Stayed here a few times now. The facilities are spot on and the pod was warm and comfortable. Really happy with our stay.

Fantastic. Thank you.

May Bank Hol break 2024

Nice site well located for a 30m min walk through farmland and a glen to Robin Hood's Bay. Or 45 mins via roads and footpaths. Facilities were clean and well maintained (given the wet weather). An on site shop would be a bonus, but we really should have planned ahead. Pod was minimalist but suitable and the matress/pad was comfortable.

Site's response

Thank you for your 5 star review. We do not have a shop on site as this would put the local shop (5mins walk) into the village, out of business! We like to support local businesses.

Beautiful site

Very nice site and well maintained. We stayed on the back field, which became very flooded during heavy rain. Owners offered a refund and were very helpful. Very good location, with nice views. We will be back during the better weather.

Site's response

Thank you for your kind review.

Lovely site

Nice well thought out site with roads to each pitch, only fall-back was toilets were closer to caravans and motorhomes who have facilities in their vehicles, should have the tents closer.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. The toilets are where they are due to planning conditions.

Wet weekend in May

Due to rain, the site was waterlogged. Drainage very poor, nearest water point was disconnected, next nearest was flooded. I would stay again but it needs to have been a very dry spell prior and no rain forecast for the stay. This site is rated 5 star but I felt I have been on better for less.

Site's response

I am sorry that it rained before and on your stay with us. As you may know, I do not control the weather! Maybe next time you might like to try our Glamping Pods. PS. Fields do not drain instantly, even tarmac is wet when it is raining!

Excellent location

Campervan & we were told we'd been moved onto hard-standing (not available when we booked) when we arrived, which was great as there had been a lot of rain. 10 min walk to Robin Hood's Bay through the fields or 15/20 mins via the road (with footpath). 5 min walk from the Cinder Track (disused railway line) to Whitby or Ravenscar. Lovely circular walks to Boggle Hole YHA & café, for example, and on to the Cleveland Way. Had a great weekend.

Site's response

FANTASTIC. I am pleased that you enjoyed yourselves so much. We hope to see you again.

Recommend but be prepared for very quick showering

This is a good site, especially as it is right on the old railway line walk. I really did not like the 5 limit on the showers, 2 mins to warm up 3 mins showering. I thought showers like that had gone from campsites 20 years ago.

Rejuvinating

Relaxing place.. loads of friendly farm animals in the neighbourhood 😊 Have access to city centre and beaches. Enjoyed our stay and definitely will be coming back. Thank you.

Thank you for your 5 star review. We do appreciate your comments.

First time at Middlewood Farm

Brilliant campsite. Very accommodating as we were late onto site due to van trouble. Good size site with well attended facilities. Great for dogs (must be kept on lead around site). Plenty of walks...the cinder track disused railway ran alongside the site, which you can take all the way to Whitby (7 mls north) or Scarborough (14 mls south). 5 mins walk on the path opposite the site went straight into Robin Hood's Bay and the beach, which joined onto the Cleveland Way. Would absolutely recommend and we will be staying again for sure.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your BRILLIANT 5 star review. It is most appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Lovely site

Nice walk into Robin Hood's Bay. Shower facilities nice and clean, would definitely recommend and stay again.

Site's response

Thank you for your 5 star review. We hope to see you again.

Pods with a view

Perfect sized for either a couple or two people. Enough space with a fridge and microwave, to be fair, felt the microwave was slight overkill but if staying for longer, could be useful. Village shop stocks the basics, plus some homemade products, and the pub serves some cracking food, portions are massive! Will recommend to all.

Site's response

Thank you for your 5 star review on our pods. We hope to see you again.
