Middlewood Farm Holiday Park Reviews

It was okay

It was okay. Convenient for RHB. Covid obsession, with only one person allowed in reception at once, is poor.

Site's response

We can only deal with one person at a time.

Lovely site

We stayed in a VW campervan. The place is in a good location, clean shower and toilets. You can walk into Robin Hoods Bay, it's about 20 min through fields or you can go the road way. There are a few pubs on the way. You can catch a bus to Scarborough and Whitby. Lovely site.

Thank you for your 5 * review.

Lovely holiday

We have stayed here before many years ago. Good sized hardstanding pitches for caravan and awning. Walk to Robin Hoods Bay beach is about 15 minutes and not suitable for disabled customers. Only negative really was the lack of general waste bins on site. One large recycle skip, but no dog waste bins or general bins on our side of the pitch. Toilet block could do with updating, but still very functional and the showers were hot so not complaining. I would go back as it is a nice site.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. The skip is 100% recycled. The fact that there are no waste bins dotted round the site is done deliberately. This is to keep the site free of bins so dogs and badgers cannot tip the bins over and make a mess! Guests do not like camping near waste bins.

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite with clean facilities. Showers and water were hot quickly, small park area for children to play in the family field. The owners were approachable and dealt with any issues well. We liked that the warden was keen to reinforce the campsite rules, so it remained family friendly. Lovely short walk to Robin Hoods Bay from the campsite.

Thank you for your lovely review.

Family camping

We were put in the square field, a field not shown on the photos and probably used on busy weekends. This made the site far larger and busier than we like.

Lovely site

Loved it here, will definitely be back!

FANTASTIC. We look forward to seeing you again.

Good location but too busy

Great location, with a great cut through of a small walk down to Robin Hood's Bay. They really pack campers in close together, which isn't our preference and therefore wouldn't stay here again. Unfortunately, we had noisy neighbours who woke us up at 2am due to tents being placed so close together, we could hear everything.

Robin Hood's Bay

Excellent location and nice size pitch.

Site's response

Thank you for your great review.

Needs more facilities

Not enough facilities, no shop on site. A lot of drinking parties on site. The site was very poor in parts and the person at reception was not very helpful. Showers were very good and toilets good, but could do with more on site. Overall, was good when we were sorted with a better plot.

Busy site, good location

Booked this site last minute so we expected it to be busy during school holidays. Nice 10 minute walk across fields to Robin Hood's Bay - we saw a deer and there were cows in the field. Pitch was a bit tight but ok and showers were hot. Nice and quiet at night even though busy. Bay hotel has good food. We also ate at the Fylingthorpe Arms which is just 5 minutes away and the food was good there too. Whitby and Scarborough beaches are partially dog friendly as is Sandsend. Nice site for a short stay.

Great location and good facilities

Super location and great facilities.

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

Pod stay

Pod perfect for me, however the toilet block became flooded after heavy rain and was quite busy at times, so had to queue.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. It was an unprecedented amount of rain, of which we had never seen before. As we have "low thresholds" in the doorway, to make it very accessible for our guests, this did allow some rain to get into the facilities. But only a small amount !! We do have 2 x toilet blocks!

Our stay

Good site, but I think it needs a shop on site. Were some times when toilet block could have been cleaner. Location good and only a 10 minute walk to Robin Hood's Bay. Although, you have to walk through fields full of cowpats. On the whole, not a bad site.

Great place to stay

We were due to stay for 2 nights, but unfortunately had to leave on the 2nd night due to needing to get back home. The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome, even if we were a bit late for our initial arrival. The park was very clean and tidy and the facilities were also very clean and tidy. Will definitely be returning here again.

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

2 nights stay at Middlewood Farm Holiday Park

The park is ideally situated for Whitby and Scarborough and surrounding villages. Great walk to Robin Hoods Bay from campsite. The facilities at the campsite were good and our pitch was in a good spot. My partner complained that the gents shower floors were dirty, I said that was probably because people were showering with flip flops on, and of course he didn’t have shower shoes.

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

Beautiful

A lovely welcome from reception, everything explained on arrival, a really well looked after site in a beautiful location. Will definitely stay again.

Site's response

Thank you for your 5* review. Your kind words are much appreciated.

Lovely family stay

Everything we wanted, short walk to amenities and to the beach. Clean/tidy and well managed.

Site's response

Thank you for your 5* review. Your praise is appreciated.

You get what you pay for

Nice enough family campsite, however, the toilet/shower blocks could do with some updating, and you have to hold down the tap to try and wash your hands. Not the best. Nice views. This is a great site for people who don't mind loud kids and dogs. Apart from that, it was a great base to venture out as it is close to Whitby, North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Filey, Scarborough etc. We personally wouldn't stay at this campsite again.

Site's response

The water taps are "press" taps to stop people leaving the water running when they leave the basins. There are sink plugs at all basins so you can wash your hands! Maybe people should realise that during the summer school holidays, there will be children on the best sites. Maybe visit adult only and dog free sites.

Campervan stay on a non electric grass pitch

Lovely location, 20 min footpath walk from campsite to Robin Hood's Bay, and a well kept site. We will stay here again.

Site's response

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

Fantastic, restful holiday

Had a much needed rest at Middlewood Farm in the camping pods. Pity the weather was rainy but everything else was fine. The shared facilities were clean and kept that way throughout our stay. The pod had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Only fault we found was could have done with another plug socket so we could charge both our phones at the same time.

Thank you for your 5* review. We hope to welcome you again.

Very nice and good camping with a beautiful view of the area

We stayed for 7 nights and the area was new to us. It was short to visit all the nice things Moor Beach etc. And we enjoyed the whole time living at the campsite. The enjoyment of the little children with a safe place to play and run and bike. And also the friends and whole families that enjoy for a couple of days of the camping life. Really camping for all ages. A lot of space on the pitch. Fine atmosphere. Can be busy during the day, but lovely and quiet in the evening and night. Greetings from VW Van fans from Holland.

Thank you for your 5* review. We do appreciate you taking the time to review us.

Lovely campsite

All the family enjoyed are stay here. The staff are very friendly and helpful, stayed at a lot of different campsites and this has the cleanest toilet and shower blocks out of all the ones we have stayed at. There's plenty of room for the kids to play football whilst making new friends. The kids enjoyed going over to the cow and horse fields as they are animal mad. Caught the bus just up the road from the site into Whitby and only cost £2 each, saved on having to get the cars out and working out parking. We ate from the chip shop called 'Fish Box' and must say, it was worth every penny. Chips were lovely and the fruity curry is the best i've had. Overall, I would recommend and definitely go back.

Thank you, your praise speaks volumes. We hope to welcome you again soon.

Great campsite, enjoyed our stay

We went as a family with grown-up kids with the girls in a pod and my son and I in a tent. Was great having the pod to hang out in the evening and having fun as a family. Great location 10 minutes from Whitby. Friendly staff.

I am pleased that you all enjoyed your stay with us, and thank you for your review.

Summer 2023

Lovely quiet site, nice facilities and walks to Robin Hood Bay through fields. Be aware of narrow lanes when approaching the site, otherwise fantastic location.

Site's response

Thank you for your 5-star review, it is appreciated. There is an alternative route to us from the A171 for Tourers and Motorhomes, which we use for the 48ft Articulated Lorries. We hope to see you again soon.
