Nice small site with plenty of space
Nice small site between Skipsea and Hornsea. Limited to 5 pitches which means plenty of space between vans. 2 x toilets and 1 x shower separate from toilets, well kept and never had to wait for either. The site is on the main road so you have traffic noise during the day, but it quietens down at night and we had no problem sleeping. Our hosts were very nice and accommodating. The coast a relatively short walk away (15-20 mins) via a bridle path directly across the road from the site. The road is quite busy, but we have 2 fairly nervous Border Collies and we managed to cross quite easily without problem. Dogs can be walked on site (on leads) around the 2 fishing ponds which is good for morning and evening needs... We stayed for 3 nights and walked into Hornsea one day (30-40 mins) and up the beach as far as Skirlington the others days (1.5 - 2 hours each way and approximately 4 miles each way on the beach). Access to beach is either via Hornsea (turning right at the end of the bridal path) or via a steep path from the cliff top at the side of the boat yard (turning left at the end of the bridal path). We love this coast as the beaches are great and always empty, even this time of year (August). A note of caution for anyone planning the same beach walking as us on this stretch of coast, please make sure you check the tide times and plan your walks accordingly, as the beach is enormous when the tide is out, but mostly does not exist when the tide is in and as the coast line is completely cliffs with relatively few access points you could get stranded..... In summary, we would certainly recommend this site for beach walking like we did or as a base for visiting other attractions in the area.
