What a fantastic place to see the amazing bird life. The pathways are thoughtfully set out in order to view all the cliffs. I went at Ganet season. An amazing spectacular. Will definitely return for the Puffins

Fantastic views and walks. Well worth a visit. £8 entry fee for non members. Friendly staff, great cafe, shop & toilets. Binocular hire available

They have a wide selection of vegan sandwiches with one being gluten free AND vegan (5 sandwiches out of a total of about 13), cakes (gf and vegan available) and drinks. They do a wicked hot choc with oat or soya milk and you can add vegan marshmallows and cream. A large selection of gifts, bird feeders, books, toys, jigsaw puzzles, clothing and binoculars to name a few. All before you get to the amazing sites and sounds of the birds. Definitely worth a visit!

Too many pieces of land in England are fenced round, with the public either banned or charged to enter through a gate on a variety of pretexts. Land that should belong to all of us, or at least land on which we should have a right to walk or cycle and perhaps even camp. In Sweden, allemansrätte is the Right of Public Access, and in Norway, allemannsretten is the Right to Roam. Nearer home, the Land Reform (Scotland) Act of 2003 allows individuals to roam freely across most of Scotland’s landscapes, regardless of land ownership. These are fundamental principles that give everyone the freedom to access and enjoy nature, even on private land if it is uncultivated. At Bempton in East Yorkshire, the cliffs, the land and footpath along the cliffs, the sea birds and the sea should be available to all without raising money from them. The RSPB charged £8 per person in August (ostensibly for ‘parking’), while members park for free. Membership costs a voluntary subscription of ‘from £5 per month’, some of the money going towards the salaries of site wardens. As Bempton was also making money from its gift shop and café, a £16 entry fee seems excessive. And with no receipt given, who knows who has paid and who hasn’t? What does the site at Bempton do to benefit the birds, many facing serious climate-change threats to their survival? I asked if the presence of groups of noisy people on the cliff tops, some of them leading dogs, deters birds from nesting (which is why they come), particularly the puffins who make their burrows on the grassy top of the cliff. I got no answer from the wardens. Ironically, there is a public footpath right along the length of the cliffs but the RSPB restricts access to it and indeed does not mention that it exists! The public path runs for 12 miles from Flamborough village past the RSPB site to Speeton, with a possibility of parking at either end.

Such a beautiful place to visit, while in Scarborough. While entry to this site is free for members, there is a charge for adults of £8.00 each. However, this goes towards ensuring this site and others are protected for the future. Visiting today was made even better, with the wonderful weather and clear, blue skies. You don't have to be into bird watching, to truly appreciate nature. There are walks all along the cliff tops, with viewing platforms at various points, and the opportunity to view the different birds there, such as the Gannet and more. Even though we visited on a weekday, there were still a lot of people out. However, this didn't stop us, from enjoying the views and we didn't have to barge our way onto the platform, in order to get a good view. There are a number of benches as well along the trail, along with picnic tables and a visitor centre with a cafe and toilets. We were here for a couple of hours and brought our dogs for a walk, although they must be on leads so as to endure the safety of the wildlife. All in all, a lovely place to visit and appreciate how beautiful nature really is.

First time here, really lovely and peaceful place. Was hoping to see puffins but probably too late, still had a good few hours here. Can smell the gannets before you see them. Good viewing platforms. Staff very helpful in the centre. Great cafe, bit expensive on the cakes, but probably the normal now.

Lovely time walk along the cliffs spotting the sea birds. We were also treated to an amazing rainbow and whale sightings! The volunteers along the cliff top were lovely and informative!

We had a very enjoyable visit. The hall is very well curated and maintained, the staff welcoming and knowledgeable. The gardens in particular the walled garden were beautiful. The Humboldt penguins and zoo are an additional attraction. You can also leave to walk along the headland to Danes Dyke or get a tourist road train into Bridlington and return for the car.

Sewerby hall it's self is closed from the end of September week days but open weekends. However the gardens and grounds are open all week free of charge even though it's autumn the gardens are still beautiful and well worth a visit. The walled gardens is a must visit with a excellent garden shop selling plants for a great price.The Zoo is also open and has a small charge of £4 for a adult to visit. The zoo is small but has birds, penguins, pigs, goats, donkeys,horses,larmas ect. There is a cafe and beautiful walks along the cliffs with views to Flamberhead and Bridlington. The land train runs from Sewerby hall to Bridlington aswell. I would highly recommend a visit Sewerby hall and is suitable for anyone.

Check website to see what's open\on. Large free car park, woods, play area, walk to see the sea (careful as erosion at the edge) there's a land train too. Interesting walk round the hall, a zoo with rescued coatis, pigs, birds etc nice cafe too after walking round the gardens. Great day out!

Lovely visit today. There is something here for everyone. The hall itself is superb with great AV. Fabulous story. The gardens are beautiful and the zoo will educate and entertain any age. Big car park and good cafe facilities. Excellent day out all round.

Great hidden gem. Travelled over from beverley not really knowing what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised. Ample parking, lots of activities for all ages, whether it's viewing the walled gardens, exploring the zoo, enjoying some quality good or simply sitting on a bench enjoying the views and the sea air. Everyone was super friendly snd helpful with directions. A very good playground for ages up to 12. Family visit and would highly recommend.

Easy to find free parking. Great scenery lovely place to explore. Cafe can be busy but I found the food worth the wait. If you want you can pay to see the small zoo on site and look around inside the house.

Beautiful gardens to explore, two great parks for children, the cafe provides great food and drinks and the team there are very accommodating. The zoo is a great extra with lots of birds and animals to discover, talks and feelings throughout the day.

We found this lovely cafe on Google maps. We had jacket potatoes which were delicious, served with salad and coleslaw. The staff were very friendly. After looking round the model village, we had cakes and tea. Lovely home made cakes

Early days at the Garden Tea Room. Sadly the coffee machine broke down just as we were waiting. The manager was very apologetic and we had a pot of tea instead. These things happen. We will be back to try the breakfasts as they looked very nice. There's a few tables inside and more tables outdoors. Disabled access throughout.

This has to be the best breakfast in Bridlington! Top quality ! Sausage were from a good butchers, lovely bacon All food served from local business. Totally excellent!

Terrible experience. Arrived at 2:30 on a Monday, there was only 1 family eating. Staff were rather rude and seemed uninterested. Around 40 minutes after ordering a staff member came over to apologise our food hadn’t arrived. Although they offered us a free drink, when we took them up on the offer we were asked to pay!! Eventually the food arrived - paninis were barely warm and cheese not even melted! Free coffee eventually arrived after we had finished eating! Wouldn’t recommend at all. Very poor experience.

Fab little tea room in Sewerby attached to the model village. Really good coffee and all cakes/scones etc were home baked. Covered outdoor seating if you have a pup.

Staff need more training. They are not good with intolerances, I told them no vinegar and got served coleslaw. Food is okay but not good value for money.

The garden tea room and model village. Great little place. Very reasonable prices and good quality food. The model village is very well presented and is dog friendly.

Great day out and lots to see. An ideal visit for all ages. I had a great time wandering around and watching the birds and animals. The flying display by the owls was fantastic and great to watch. The short clawed Asian otters were great fun to watch as they ran around their area. I would recommend and i will visit again next time i am in the area.

Well worth a visit, feeding the goats, donkeys, ponies, sheep and pigs was the highlight. Definitely buy a few bags of feed as you enter, they were all very gentle. They have plenty of other animals worth checking out too as you walk around, a lot of them being fed so you can see them all out and about. Very enjoyable three hours slowly walking around to see all of the animals.

We visited while on holiday. A truly beautiful hidden gem. Staff were so friendly and informative. We got to feed the camels. Sadly our visit was cut short by a thunderstorm!! But we will definitely be returning next year. Highly recommend a visit 🙂

Extremely good value for money. £40 for two adults and two teens. We got to see the feeding of the artic foxes, raccoon dogs and fennec foxes, got to hold a skunk and got to see an awesome bird display with an amazingly talented raven called Einstein. To the delight of all of us we got a very close look at the capybara. Staff were friendly and helpful. There is a lovely little cafe outside. A toilet at the front in the shop and one by the picnic area with a little hand washing area. We brought animal feed at the shop, it is clearly marked which animals you can and can’t feed and you’re given a handy flyer when you buy your tickets saying which animals you can feed. There are very large new fox enclosures being built which will be lovely for them in the coming future. We went with open minds having read mostly good but a couple of people's less than faltering reviews , not sure what these people expected but were extremely happy we went. It’s not massive but we loved our day out.

It's so lovely to see animals in such good condition and happy in their environment. This relatively small hidden gem on the outskirts of Bridlington offers visitors a great experience at affordable prices. The afternoon bird show is a must, being in the midst of a variety of birds flying freely around you whilst the handlers demonstrate their capabilities and give very informative talks about each species.. Who knew that birds like owls, parrots and cockatoos lacked any intelligence whilst Corvids, like Ravens, Crows and Magpies are so much more intelligent and able to solve problems without any help from us? Why? Go watch the display and you'll find out!! You won't be disappointed. 👌

Fantastic little zoo, with lovely up close and personal touches like cuddling a skunk and holding guinea pigs. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly care deeply for the animals. The birds of prey talk was great and the handler talked passionately about each bird and we saw them so close up - one of the owls sat on my friends' head! Well worth the entry fee!

A lovely little zoo with the cutest animals! We loved meet the Meerkat experience, and feeding the farm animals ❤️. We will definitely be returning. The staff were all so helpful and friendly too.

Nice old school inn. Stayed here in August during the heat wave. Nice large carpark around the back, with cameras for security. All the staff were nice, friendly and helpful. Room was nice and clean, tea/coffee facilities and a comfy bed and a clean bathroom with walk in shower. Only small negative was room was really warm but we knew there was no air con when we booked. There is also a bar and steak house, both with friendly staff running them. Steaks were beautifully cooked and the extras that came with them were lovely. While waiting to be seated in the restaurant there is a nice seating area outside to enjoy a drink, but plenty of seating inside to. A really nice place to stay and we will hopefully be back.

We didn't stop here but took my Dad for his birthday lunch. 5 of us had a lovely Sunday dinner. It's freshly redecorated and clean. Food was lovely but not everything was ready (roast potatoes) and the portions could have been slightly bigger. However, the chap hosting was kind and professional. I would happily go back. Perhaps on a week day as they have an extensive steak menu.

We stayed 2 nights the accommodation was excellent newly been renovated to a high standard. Staff are fantastic and go above and beyond. The breakfast 10 out of 10 even my partner who is fussy ate it all. We came for evening meal and the chef went out of his way to accommodate her needs. Definitely be coming back.

Spacious room: Very clean and decor smart. Staff friendly and helpful before and on checking in. Breakfast room not obvious and no one to ask but stumbled upon it. No obvious menu or juice/cereals to choose from but the waitress listed the cooked breakfast for us. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast cooked beautifully and offered more toast and cereal afterwards. Relaxed about checking out.

We had dinner, the food was very well cooked but I really didnt expect a £70 fillet mignon to be delivered to the table just as a chunk of meat with two steak knives in it! Our side dishes were served on our plates like a kids school dinner. The restaurant has potential to be special but is let down by a poor wine list and cheap wine glasses. Beautiful tables and a lovely ambient feel with friendly staff but it could do with some refinements at the prices it is charging.

We didn’t stay in the hotel but came for a meal!! What an experience, the interior is beautifully presented, the staff exceptional and the food the best I’ve tasted, yes it’s a little expensive but the fillet steak was INCREDIBLE!! I only wish we lived closer so we could make this place our local!! Hospitality as it should be I can’t find fault with anything at all!!!!

What a wonderful place. On arrival myself and my partner were welcomed by such lovely staff. Throughout our weekend stay we couldn't have asked for more pleasant and helpful people. The rooms were lovely and clean and the breakfasts were amazing. We would definately recommend to anyone to go and stay at the Star Inn. We will definitely go back. Thank you so much.
