Pinewood Park Scarborough

Seriously needs to be rethought, No stone pathway to your cabin which means when they cut the grass it's everywhere and it carries in with you. Hot tub area needs a cover and some lights around the compound, Needs a normal size fridge freezer in the kitchen as keeping anything cold is impossible. Might be ok in summer but you basically have to bring everything and shower in a different block like peasants......not for me

I took my daughter and grandson to pinewood park at the beginning of march for his 5th birthday and we stayed in one of the sea king helicopters. He is mad about helicopters so this was the ideal gift for him. All I can say is wow they are done out to a high standard and are spotless. The shower and toilet facilities were also immaculate. You can look down the tail boom through a round window which is such a good idea and my grandson loved that bit. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend.

Disappointed and tired....... The couple who run the place were absolutely lovely! Very kind, friendly and welcoming. Customer service was 5 star. However our stay, overall was really disappointing. This is our 4th glamping trip this year and all the other sites we have visited I have given 5 stars to - so I don't think I have unrealistic expectations. There are various accommodations on this site and so I think it largely depends on the specific accommodation as to the experience and what expectations guests have. We stayed in the tipi. 129 per night (usually 140) My main issue was the bed - it was absolutely awful! So uncomfortable! The mattress was more of a camping mattress than a bed mattress (see pictures) and the bed frame was super noisy, squeaking every time you moved / rolled over. Both my daughter and I had a bad night with it. The owner very kindly arranged for an extra camping mattress to be added to the base (which I was very grateful for) for the 2nd night, which helped a little, but not much. The owner did concede that we are not the first guests to have complained about this, but that adding a decent mattress to the tipi would increase costs for guests staying there. However, when your paying over 120 a night, for a 2 person accommodation - I expect a real / decent mattress and dont think that is unreasonable. There is no way I could have managed a 3rd night there! I would like to kindly challenge the owners themselves to spend a night or 2 in that accommodation and see for themselves what its like . Now, we did really enjoy the hot tub and made the most of this feature, spending hours relaxing in here. Clear, easy to follow instructions on how to work it were given and the wood and kindling were provided. The rest of the outdoor area was quite tired and in need of freshening up a bit: weeds (specifically nettles) were growing through cracks in the concrete and the area around the bench needed pressure washing as the floor was black and had moss growing (see pictures). The shower and toilet area was ok and clean. But the block is quite dated and surrounded by weeds growing - you have to step over nettles and thistles at the bottom of the stairs to access the facilities. I only used the shower once and literally within less than a minute, the drain was overflowing. I made sure I was super quick and had to lather my hair and body with the water off, so that the drain didn't continue to backfill. That said, my daughter was in the cubicle next to me and didn't have an issue (I was in the very end cubicle). There is a sign up, reminding guests that there is no additional charge for the showers, adding that many sites do; but in actual fact, all the decent sites that I have visited in Yorkshire over the last 5 years do not charge extra and still have much nicer facilities (Break Fold Farm, Little Seed Field, Camp Katur, Vale of Pickering, Glenfield park , just to mention a few). The glamping places we have been to this year and last, all provided wheelbarrows to transport belongings from the car to the accommodation, but this place does not due to issues with theft. Finally, although the tipi is advertised as having 'kettle, fridge, heater, lights and sockets' , I was informed on arrival that the price of the accommodation does not include electric and that this is an extra charge! I queried this and brought up the website on my phone to show that it does not state this anywhere. The owner was very gracious and agreed to include the electric at no extra cost . But I was astounded that this was even requested in the first place as the only time I have paid extra for electricity is when camping in a tent. The site is located on a main/busy road too - so you can hear all the traffic. We visited some lovely places in the local area and made the most of our little get away, but unfortunately, we won't be returning here. There are so many other glamping sites that provide much more for the same/similar price.

What an absolute hidden gem and right on our door step! Me and my wife with our child (12) were looking for a night away but didnt want to travel miles to get there. As locals we had heard of Pinewood Park so decided to give it a try as it was something different with a hot tub to boot. On arrival we were greeted by Kerry who owns the park and was very welcoming and explained everything we needed to know. We stayed in the Ranch Retreat with log burning hottub ( which was amazing ). The cabin its self was very clean and comfortable with a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. We honestly felt like we could have been anywhere else in the country and not just a 10 minute drive away! Exactly what we needed and will definitely be staying again in the future.
