Sandfield House Farm, Sandsend Road, Whitby, YO21 3SR, Tel 01947602660
To Find Site:- The site is on the left on the A174 just out of Whitby.
It’s easy to spot from the road as you can see the caravans going up the
hill from some distance. Arrivals are accepted from 2.00pm.
Sandfield House is a large terraced site for touring and seasonal units.
All pitches have a sea view. There are around 200 pitches all of which
are on hardstandings of varying size, these are either accessed directly
from the site roads or a short drive across grass. There are a small
number of serviced pitches with fresh and waste water points. There are
two toilet blocks of a very good standard. The main one is in the centre
of the site and it is here that the motorhome service point is situated.
This block contains a laundry with washers and dryers. The, new, smaller
block is near to the site entrance and has a dog wash at the side of the
building. Both have dish wash facilities. There are service points
dotted around the site but chemical disposal is only at the two toilet
blocks. Electric points are convenient to all pitches and are rated at
10 amps and use CEE 17 blue connectors. TV reception is good if you
follow the sites advice on where to point your aerial. There is site
wide Wi-Fi which is free to use and you are allocated an access code on
arrival. Mobile 4G signal is reasonable. Reception sells some essentials
as well as gas. We were not aware of any food vendors visiting the site
but an ice cream van did call. The site also has a tennis court, a dog
walk field and a playing field for kick about sports. When booking this
site, a deposit is payable and the balance is due approx. 4 weeks prior
to arrival. The site does not accept tents.
This site is ideal for visiting Whitby. For the fit it is about a two
mile walk into the town by taking the footpath from the site, but don’t
forget it’s a steep uphill on the way back! This path takes you along
the promenade and there is a nice view from the Captain Cook monument of
the harbour and the Abbey opposite. Fortunately, there is also a regular
half hourly bus service in the main season from the site entrance Monday
to Saturday with a reduced service on Sunday. In the other direction the
bus service goes all the way to Middlesborough but Staithes is only
about 20 minutes away on the same service. For eating out there are
numerous opportunities in Whitby. For food shopping there is a nice
Co-Op supermarket next to the Railway Station in the town and a larger
Sainsburys just to the south of the town centre with fuel. The Station
is shared between British Rail services and those of the North Yorkshire
Railway heritage line for those who might wish to visit
“Heartbeat”countryside. Just across the road from the campsite is a golf
course.
