Withernsea - we're hooked!
by gillbatt
(Huddersfield)
We had our caravan moved from Bridlington to Withersea and wondered where we had come to, after being for the first weekend we were hooked, we love Withernsea. Withernsea is a quiet relaxing place but it is easy to get to lots of other places along the coast.

Hi Gillbatt
Thanks for your comments.
Yes Withernsea is an out of the way place.
So glad you've been caught - hook, line and sinker :) - and find it lovely and relaxing.
Where have you been that you've particularly enjoyed? ...in Withernsea or days out? Do let us know.
Thank you very much for sharing.

Totally Agree
Withernsea is a great base for Static owners. So many beautiful villages to explore nearby and Hull is only 40 minutes away.
We are now regulars at the Hull New Theatre which is one of the most beautiful theatres we have ever been to.
The art gallery and museums are also worth a visit - and they are free entry too.

Thanks for sharing your comments, Robert. Sounds like it really is an ideal spot to make your holiday base.
Hull is a very vibrant city, and always good to visit. Thanks for the tip about the free entry to the art gallery and museums - always good to know!
Thanks for your input.

Places of interest - Spurn Point
by gillbatt
It is very interesting to hear where people have been, and places to see.
We have been to Spurn Point, fantastic place, you can park the car & walk or (as my husband is disabled) you can for a cost drive the car down to the end, best £3.00 spent.

Hi Gillbatt
Thanks for the recommendation - would you believe we haven't been to Spurn Point yet - I really want to go as it looks stunning - if a little windswept.
We have some lovely photos on site, sent in by a reader - you can see them here and here...
I hope you like them :)
We have a little more info about Spurn Point and the lighthouses, here...
Sounds a fantastic way to spend £3.00!
Thanks very much for sharing your experiences.
Best wishes

Hollym Hidden Gem - The Plough Inn
by Jane Gill
(Hibaldstow Lincolnshire)
We had a traditional Sunday lunch at the wheelchair accessible country pub Plough Inn and it was delicious will be visiting again in a month when we check on our fully wheelchair accessible caravan Ggslegacy sited at Withernsea Sand Park Resort site.
Tasty lunch friendly atmosphere what more could anyone want. Wonderful.
The Plough can be found just off the Withernsea to Hull road A1033 . As well as the delicious food they have bed and breakfast accommodation from £27.50 per night (this accommodation isnt wheelchair accessible.)
The Plough also has a beer garden and games room not that anyone would want to sit outside in this freezing weather. Roll on SUMMER!!!!

Withernsea Golf Club Sunday Carvery
by Robert
(West Yorkshire)
Hidden jewel in the crown.
Great value Approx £8 for 3 courses, Fill your boots with giant helpings, best yorkshire pudding I have ever had.
Very relaxed friendly place - no need to dress up - no golf snobs there!
Just a little difficult to find for the first time.
Need to book to be sure of a table though.

Finding Withernsea Golf Club
by: Robert
Coming out of Withernsea towards Hollym, look out for the brown golf club sign on a lamp post pointing down a side road (right hand turn).
At the bottom of the side road take a left.
At the next junction take a right you will then come across another brown lamp post sign pointing left.
At the end of that road you will see the fairways in front of you, turn left and the clubhouse is at the bottom of the road on the right.

Not sure....

Hi Laura
I'm afraid I don't know if they allow dogs, although I would suspect not...
You can contact them at this page if you wish to enquire whether one could be accommodated.

Great Food
By Miss Aston
19 June 2011
I've just been on holiday to Withernsea and I found the golf club on line when looking for places to go for Sunday dinner - it took us a little while to find the golf club but when we did find it the food was amazing.
The staff were very polite and service was amazing.
We even went back on the Tuesday night for the curry night and that was the same amazing food and service, we even sent comments back to the chef and the prices here are really good.
If I come back to Withernsea again for a holiday I will certainly becoming back to the Golf club for the carvery or the curry night

I don't know the answer to that, Jane. I suggest you contact the Golf club directly and discuss with them accessibility requirements to suit your party.
Hope it is!
Do let us know, if you can.
