  • Peaceful site in the Yorkshire Wolds near Scarborough and Filey
  • On a working farm: meet the friendly farm yard gang
  • Play areas, Mini Bees play barn, on-site walks and a café-bar
There’s nothing low-key in the least about the gorgeous site of Humble Bee Farm… think swishly modern accommodation, a stunning setting in the Yorkshire Wolds, and a location close to everything you might want for a Yorkshire holiday: coast, countryside, seaside, pubs and restaurants are all close by. Humble Bee is a working arable and stock farm, in a peaceful setting in North Yorkshire countryside just under 10 miles from Scarborough. It’s made up of quiet surroundings, pretty pastures and open skies, to provide a serene and family-friendly space for farm holidays in a convenient location. Guests are most welcome to meet the farmyard crew, including guinea pigs, rabbits, alpacas, goats, donkeys and a Shetland pony – and see Farmer Percy doing the rounds on his tractor. An interactive nature trail wends its way around the farm too, giving info along the way about the wildlife all around; keen-eyed nature spotters might spy hares and hedgehogs among many other critters. When you're feeling peckish, stroll to the Hive Café Bar, which arranges 'light bite evenings' and pre-ordered pizza nights, along with cocktails, beers, wines and Prosecco. Get your hands on filled breakfast rolls, barista coffee and homemade bakes too. Got kids in tow? No probs – there’s a fireman’s pole to keep them occupied, along with loads of room in the football field for a kickabout. Regular events including wildlife rambles and nature-spotting activities run on site too… with stargazing by night for those who can keep awake. Among the site amenities are showers and toilets, a parent and baby washroom, a launderette and disabled facilities. Humble Bee accepts group bookings but it’s very much not a party site – it’s in a quiet rural valley for peaceful and laidback stays.

Big Chief wigwam

Liked: The staff are all amazing and couldn’t do more for you if they tried, friendly laid back place it’s nice and private and quiet and I like there’s things on site to do/eat. Also a really good price compared to what some people are charging.

Disliked: The wifi went down the entire weekend which was unfortunate as I needed to work the first day I got there but no fault of anyone and the owners couldn’t of done more to try and help out when it went down.

From the manager: Hello, thank you for taking the time to review Humble Bee. Your photos look great and it's lovely to see you enjoyed our friendly farm yard gang. Due to our rural location, we have had to install super fast fibre to the site. The logistics of installing this do result in a small charge per device, however many of our customers enjoy an unplugged experience whilst visiting the farm. We hope to see you again, best wishes

Nomadic yurt (no pets)

Liked: Lovely little place so clean brilliant for kids stayed in normadic yurt was beautiful can’t fault the place

Disliked: Wi-Fi 4 pound per device per 24 hours … it cost a extra 32 on our weekend break just for this …as not one of us had any signal and with a disabled son at home with relatives, it was essential we had contact … i think free Wi-Fi is always a nicer touch

Local attractions

Countryside, coast, beaches, forests, moors and family days out… all ages and tastes are easily sorted around here. Make for the Yorkshire coast as a first stop, to Scarborough 20 minutes’ drive away for Scarborough Castle, SEA LIFE Scarborough, the seaside amusements and picking up fresh seafood at the harbour fish market. From Scarborough, head north to Whitby (35 minutes, or about 50 from the farm) for its famed abbey (and fish and chips), or the same distance in the other direction for spotting the thousands of seabirds clustered around Flamborough Head. There’s much to see inland too, such as Eden Camp at Malton (30 minutes), recreating the sights, sounds – and smells – of World War II; woodland hikes at Dalby Forest, also 30 minutes away, and seeing the splendour of the stately home Castle Howard (40 minutes). Or have a puff on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway on its spectacularly scenic route from Pickering (40 minutes’ drive) across the moors to Whitby.
