Haven Accommodation at Thornwick Bay

Thornwick Bay offers caravans and chalets to suit different family sizes and budgets. The caravans range from standard to higher grades with varying levels of comfort and space.

Silver grade caravans provide good value accommodation. Guests report they are clean and tidy with reliable central heating and good showers. The master bedrooms in some units are spacious enough for a travel cot which helps families with babies.

Location matters here. Some accommodation areas sit close to the main complex which is handy for families who want quick access to the pool and entertainment. Hobby Hallow and Chaffinch Fell are particularly good spots. These areas feature flat terrain and nearby parking which suits guests with mobility needs.

Chalets offer an alternative to caravans. They provide a slightly different feel while still delivering everything you need for a self-catering break. All accommodation is self-catering so you have freedom to eat when and what you like.

The touring and camping site welcomes motorhomes and touring caravans. Pitches include electric hook-up and full access to park facilities like the pool and entertainment. The touring site sits at the back of the main static caravans. Guests praise the value especially during autumn months.

The park is mostly flat though some accommodation areas have slopes. A twenty minute walk covers the distance from the furthest point to the main facilities. Blue Badge parking spaces are available at the main complex.

All Haven holiday homes come with an Accommodation Guarantee to give you complete peace of mind for your holiday. This means that on arrival, any guest not entirely satisfied with the standard of cleaning or maintenance in their accommodation will immediately be offered a full "no quibble" refund.

Out & About in Yorkshire

The beach at Thornwick Bay is just a ten minute walk from the park. It is a sand and pebble beach perfect for rock pooling and paddling. The access involves quite a steep slope so bear that in mind if mobility is a concern.

Flamborough Head lighthouse sits about forty minutes away on foot along the clifftop path. The walk is spectacular with views across the North Sea. Bempton Cliffs nature reserve is nearby too. This stunning spot overlooks the sea and attracts birdwatchers from across the country.

Bridlington Beach offers a sandy stretch ideal for coastal strolls with the family. A bus runs from the park into Bridlington town centre which makes day trips easy without the car. The town has all the traditional seaside attractions you would expect.

Filey Beach is an award-winning golden sand beach within easy reach. It is a proper bucket and spade destination with plenty of space to spread out. The beach has won awards for good reason!

Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary makes a fantastic family day out. The exhibits feature all sorts of sea creatures and the kids will love getting up close to marine life. Scarborough itself is a classic British seaside resort with plenty to explore.

Flamingo Land combines high-speed rides with exotic animals. It is an incredible day out for thrill seekers and animal lovers alike. The park keeps everyone entertained for hours.

Bempton Train Station is three miles from Thornwick Bay. Trains run between Hull and Scarborough so you can explore the Yorkshire coast without driving. The rural setting around the park offers lovely scenery with cliffs and open countryside. Guests often comment on how much they enjoy the walks and fresh air.
