We have just returned from spending a 9 night stay at this site. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here. The wardens were warm and welcoming and kept the site clean and tidy. The shower block was always spotless and the underfloor heating an asset. Music plays in the shower block so it affords some privavy when going to the loo and provides some entertainment. We travelled out each day to the local beaches and walked the dogs. You can also walk into Sewerby and Bridlington from the site. We had good meals at the Ship Inn, Sewerby. We also drove out to Hornsea to Freeport and the Mere. Visited Spurn Point, dogs aren't allowed on the tip but you can park at the carpark near the Bluebell cafe and walk along the beach. We had great weather for almost all of the stay and will certainly be back here again. Loud bangs went off periodically from the surrounding areas which we decided might be a farmer's bird scarer for his crops.
It was also good to note that wherever we went there were public conveniences and they were clean.
We arrived at the Bridlington (one of our favorite sites) on the 23rd December to stay for Christmas and New Year. When checking in I noticed that the shop was completely empty of everything; no milk, bread, eggs etc – the basics. I asked the warden what was happening and she said that there were only 2 of them running the site and they would be leaving on Sunday, so had to clear the shop?? We have a caravan and always bring enough essentials, but I know motor home people rely on this facility. It does say in the site details as a shop is in reception. The nearest shop is at least 1 ½ mile away. There wasn’t much sign of Christmas either, no decorations, lights etc. the wardens were very nice and apologetic but said that the Club was running a trial of only having 2 wardens?? I don’t blame the wardens at all, they as always were pleasant and helpful, but don’t think this is fair on the staff or members, we are paying top rate at this time of year and not getting top service. We specifically booked at Bridlington site as I had heard that the wardens open up the garage on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve for a get together, of course this didn’t happen. I know this is up to the wardens and they do this out of their own goodness, but again we lose out. A number of members on the site were complaining too and had planned on this happening. Having said all of this it is an excellent site, spotless (due to hard work of only 2 wardens) and great for all of the beautiful Yorkshire coast
