  • Dog-friendly farm site one mile from Robin Hood's Bay
  • Walking distance from the beach, village and the Cleveland Way
  • Horses welcome; shops and restaurants nearby
Robin Hood’s Bay was once the stomping ground of smugglers, but you’ll be the new sharks about this place… you see, Farsyde Farm is only one mile from the beach and village, so you’ll be well-based for hunting down rockpools, ancient fossils and cobbled streets chock-full with independent shops, pubs and fish and chip shops. Plus, you’ll get to freestyle right onto the Cinder Track or Cleveland Way, as both trails go through the village. More on that new den of yours… the peaceful Farsyde Farm is surrounded by the coast and countryside and the large field spies over the grand Ravenscar cliffs, the countryside and the sea. When you’re not preoccupied with the views and splendid sunrises or sunsets, dark starry nights take over by night – just the thing after a day spent walking, mountain biking or following family trails locally. When it comes to getting your go-to snacks and meals, there’s no need to put the car into action either. The village is 15 minutes’ walk away along the Cleveland Way and the shops are well-stocked. Of course, the beach might very well reel you in with its rockpools and fossils (just be sure to take care, especially with the kids). There are good facilities on site, including two flushing toilets, showers, a tap and a dishwashing area. Those of you who have horses in your flock will be happy to find they’re welcome too, and guided rides are available. An added bonus is that this site is home to a flock of adorable Valais Blacknose sheep.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Views stunning , very friendly , straight out onto the cinder path. Facilities very rustic, shower very hot. Very peaceful.

Disliked: The cost. Considering you had to pay a pound for the shower, with no EHU it was £33 ! £28 for the camper and £5 for the dog !!!

From the manager: Thank you for your review however when you booked your stay the cost of it is very clear so why grumble but the stunning views and peaceful surroundings are surely the most important thing.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely owner/host who called to let us know the field was a bit boggy and was fully prepared to refund us. we came over and found a dry spot and decided to stay anyway. lovely to see ducks and chickens roaming free and watching the horses in their field. facilities are better than basic with a lovely wooden shack set up, two individual toilet cubicles and a shower cubicles and a big sink. fresh eggs on a morning avaliable to buy from the farm. great information on numbers and location of areas around. location ideal for walking to robin hood’s bay/boggle hole or anywhere on the coastal path. field is open to the elements but it’s a field at the seaside, wind is to be expected.

Claire M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Location superb

Disliked: Size of pitches was not what was advertised. Two pitches probs could get a 6metre van on them, the other few pitches vw or small van size. Definately no where near the 8metre by 8 metre pitches that are advertised. I have never had this type of experience before. If gonna charge this amount for none elec then they need their pitches to be at least the size that they say thry are!!! There was much debate before lady decided on which pitch i was gonna have only to be moved when i got back from my walk.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and all the lovely photos! Regarding your pitch size I moved you to a hardstanding and grass pitch as booked the hardstanding is 8 m long and 3.5 metres wide with a huge grass area next to it for your use. Usually at this time of your we could have let you park on the field where you would have had even more room. At no time whilst here did you mention any issues in fact just the opposite. Also, I feel that you should mention you are in a horse box with side openings plus a rear door. As you say the location is superb.

Local attractions

So, where to get walking to? You’ll be going off-road on the 22-mile Cinder Track (under half an hour’s walk). Depending on which way you go, Scarborough or Whitby could be your end destination… with the latter, you’ll be on track for the gothic-style Whitby Abbey (15 minutes' drive), and spooky it is, as the 13th-century abbey was the inspiration for the Dracula novel. The Cleveland Way (under half an hour’s walk) is another cycling or walking route pretty much on your doorstep. It passes through Scarborough and Whitby too, as well the North York Moors and Saltburn-by-the-Sea – there are 109 miles, so you may want to be choosy about which section you go for. When you’re ready to rest your feet, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (25 minutes) is right and ready for a steam railway trip, perhaps on one of the historic Pullman carriages. As for those of you who aren’t ready for the action-packed activities to end just yet, there are the zipwires and treetop obstacles at Go Ape Dalby (45 minutes) or wakeboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking and an aqua park at North Yorkshire Water Park (45 minutes).
