just spent two weeks very clean lovley mowed grass owner very nice and helpful about area,we did not use but buses every hour,park and ride 2 mins away,pub in village but did not use said to be very good,everyone friendly on site and in village will be back when in area.
One of North Yorkshire's Finest
Our booking was made for Abbey View CL, but we were asked if we would prefer to go to Toft House Farm on a hard standing as the ground at Abbey View was very wet. Knowing how wet the weather has been we accepted. The sites are almost opposite each other on the edge of the pretty village of Aislaby. Access to the site and pitch was easy. The site is well kept with nicely mown grass. Frank the owner greeted us warmly and checked we were alright.
The village pub is five minutes walk away and does reasonable meals. Esk Valley Fish & Chip shop in the next village of Sleights is well worth a visit. The park and ride for Whitby is five minutes up the road or an hourly bus service runs past the site.
This area of North Yorkshire has stunning beaches, coves and villages. A couple of miles and you are onto the North York Moors National Park.
Go and see for yourselves!
Peaceful site on edge of N York Moors
Spent 3 nights at Toft House in September in a 6.5m hired motorhome. Access was easy and site located in a quiet spot on edge of Aislaby village. Our pitch was indicated on the entrance notice board and owner came over (from harvesting) to check we were ok setting up. Levelling ramps needed for some pitches. Quiet, rural setting. 4G reception was fine. Good pub in village, and regular bus service to Whitby. No drive over grey water facility for motorhomes/campervans so a waste hog or long waste pipe is needed.
I would never use this site again
If you're a solo female traveller I would most definitely give this site a miss. Complaint raised with CMC.

Lovely site
We had 4 nights on this lovely peaceful site could not fault it. Frank that we spoke to was very knowledgeable of the area. Nice pub 5 minutes walk in village and a regular bus into Whitby is great. We would not hesitate to return to this lovely CL so will definitely be back.

Toft House was a Beautiful sanctuary compared to North Yorkshire Moors Club Site
We were made very welcome on Toft House considering we rang on the day we needed a place to stay having left North Yorkshire Moors Club Site that day even before we got a chance to check in (Horrible Wardens Complaints made but waste of time we feel).
This and Abbey View CLs are both lovely sites with well maintained grass pitches and odd hard standing with good access to so many beautiful locations very near bye Scarborough,Whitby,Sandsend Beach, Perrys Garden Centre/cafe and Penny Clare with a beautiful shop and cafe which welcomes dogs.
We would have no hesitation in recommending both of these CLs. Much better choice than North Yorkshire Moors Club Site.
Peaceful and well kept site - great location for exploring the area
This is a very peaceful, well maintained lawned site. It has easy access to main roads but is far enough away to have no traffic noise. We stayed for two weeks and used the site as a base for exploring Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay , the North Yorkshire Moors and surrounding areas. We dipped our toes into the river Esk at Egton.
The Fisherman’s Wife in Whitby does excellent fish & chips, also mussels and lots of other choices.
If you’re interested in fossils, Whitby Museum has the best collection we’ve ever seen. Simply amazing.
The walled garden at Helmsley is worth a visit and their cafe is one of the best we’ve been too. Rydale Folk Museum is nearby and also worth a visit
We would certainly return here if we were travelling in the area.

Nice, quality site.
We stayed here for 3 nights in June. Once we got over the initial panic of seemingly not being booked in (an error by the site owner), we were accommodated on a very pretty stone wall enclosed field. Nice level grass pitch, think there are a handful of hard standings too. Recommended is the village pub, The Forge Inn. Very nice meal, with an easy walk to and from. Would we return? Yes.
First CL couldn’t ask for better
Lovely peaceful location. Flat hard standing pitch surrounded by lush green grass which was well maintained. Great pub 5 minutes away and efficient bus service to Whitby also 5 minutes walk. Lots of varied walks for doggo from the site. Lorraine made us feel very welcome and we will definitely be visiting again.
Great for the Northern North York Moors
Stayed on the site at the end of September having stayed at the adjacent site Abbey View the previous year. Access to all facilities required and whilst we did not use the local bus it was frequent (hourly) for a small village.
The pitch was level and this was the first site we have been on where leveling blocks were not required.
Lorraine was very efficient and the communal taps etc were disinfected on a daily basis by her. Yes we do need rules and I was put at ease to see at least Lorraine was taking the current COVID 19 situation seriously.
We came to the site via Pickering and Sleights and departed on the A171 via Guisborough the latter being a better more caravan friendly route.
Used an app on the phone to locate the transmitters, TV signal at the site is fine with two main transmitters to choose from however one is good for BBC whilst the other ITV and Channel 4 etc can't remember which was which sorry.
We were there foe walking there is a great footpath down to Sleights from the village but it is somewhat steep and the return walk is better undertaken via the bridleway which passes adjacent to the St Oswalds community still steep but easier.
We also parked at Littlebeck Village Hall and walked via the Coast to Coast path to Falling Foss returning via the Foss Lane bridle path and Intake Farm to Littlebeck.
In short this is a good site to visit the Northern part of the North York Moors including the attractions of Whitby, Sandsend, Grosmont and Beck Hole but you will need to drive or catch a bus to most locations.
Needless to say we will return to either this site or Abbey View in the future. Keep up the good work Lorraine and Frank
