Bay Ness Farm Reviews Summary

Views and Location

Pros:

• "Without doubt the best possible views of Bay and Ravenscar - unrivalled."
• "Stunning view its basic camping get what you pay for."
• "Absolutely superb campsite. Beautiful location with views of the sea and robin Hood’s Bay."
• "Great position on the cliff top just a short 20min walk into Robin Hood’s bay."
• "Beautiful views and only a pleasant 30-45 mins walk to the lovely Robin Hood's Bay."
• "Fab views of the sea, Robinhoods bay and Ravenscar in the distance."
• "The views at Bay Ness Farm are unmatched, there’s nothing quite like being able to watch the sunrise over the sea from your tent."

Cons:

• "Most of the pitches are on a slope."
• "It can get very cold in tents due to exposure to wind so would definitely recommend plenty of layers and hats (even in August!)"
• "It is about 300m from the cinder path, which sounds great, but a very steep downslope to the path. Which believe me, is not nice after a long walk and a couple of pints!"
• "The views were fantastic but the wind was so strong the tent was lifting up. It's far too exposed and this was in the middle of summer."
• "Campsite on the top of the cliff so is always quite windy."
• "Be warned: this is not a flat/level site: most pitches are on varying degrees of slope."
• "The entrance way is full of scrap and very overgrown."

• "Showers and toilets were lovely and clean with plenty of hot water."
• "Toilet and shower facilities were really nice, clean and seemed new."
• "The toilets and showers are incredibly high quality and very clean, and hot water to warm up."

Cons:

• "The only reasons i didn't give 5 stars is because the toilet / shower / pot washing area was basic and the phone number on the website didnt work."
• "Three washing up sinks and four showers (could do with more for peak season)."
• "The shower block needs a serious refurb after 9m of being closed I'd expect a lot more in terms of cleanliness at least."
• "Facilities are definitely minimal but perfect if that’s what you’re after."
• "The water was hot but pressure was not there - fine for a quick wash but wouldn't have wanted to wash my hair in there."
• "Camping site on a hill, no space between tents, no privacy."
