Let’s talk about the cottages first, because they steal the show. Each one is individually designed, with names like "The Hayloft" and "The Granary" that nod to their agricultural past. Inside, expect exposed stone walls, roll-top baths, and kitchens so well-equipped you might actually cook—or at least pretend you will while admiring the Smeg kettle.
The caravan park is its own universe of understated cool. Pitches are generous, with many offering panoramic views of the surrounding farmland. It’s the sort of place where you can park your tourer, unroll your awning, and suddenly become a minimalist philosopher. Pro tip: book a super pitch for extra space—your neighbour’s awning foam party will feel miles away.
If you’re a glamping soul, you’re in luck: there are luxury pods too. They’re tiny but mighty, with heating, lighting, and a deck that’s perfect for morning coffee. Think of them as the Airbnb of the camping world—compact, clever, and full of surprises.

What to Do: Beyond the Park Gates
Location is everything, and Killerby nails it. You’re five minutes from Cayton Bay Beach, a vast stretch of sand perfect for kite-flying, fossil-hunting, or simply pretending you’re in a scene from The Sandlot. For the more adventurous, the Cleveland Way National Trail is practically on your doorstep—grab your walking boots and channel your inner Wainwright.
Scarborough is a seven-minute drive away, offering the iconic Grand Hotel, a sea-life centre, and enough fish-and-chip shops to fuel a small army. But don’t sleep on the nearby Filey—it’s quieter, prettier, and has a crescent-shaped beach that’s so perfect it feels like a film set.
Practical tip: bring a raincoat. Yorkshire weather is a fickle friend, but that’s part of its charm. A sudden downpour just means you retreat to your cottage, light the log burner, and read a dog-eared paperback. It’s the ultimate permission to do nothing.
