We offer fresh modern hostel-style accommodation for 13 guests, and have a small secluded Caravan & Motorhome Club certified caravan site for 5 touring caravans or motorhomes, at Kew Villa.
The Spurn Bird Observatory building is situated in Kilnsea, at the northern end of the Spurn Peninsula, three doors to the north of the Crown & Anchor pub. Late in 2015 we took over an existing property in the village and renovated it extensively during the winter of 2015/2016, decorating throughout, splitting the bathroom into two rooms and adding a boot room to the rear of the building.
After many hours of hard work by many dedicated volunteers it was opened by Mike Dilger on Easter Sunday, 27th March 2016. We can now offer fresh modern hostel-style accommodation for 13 guests. With three upstairs rooms, two at the front with one bunk and two single beds each and one at the back with three single beds. A downstairs room with a double and single bed. A base sheet and pillow and slip are provided in the beds upstairs, so please bring your own bedding. In the downstairs room bedding and towels are provided.

We offer five pitches for touring caravans or motorhomes at Kew Villa. The site is small, peaceful, and secluded, with an ideal location next to the Crown & Anchor, perfect for a quiet getaway. Please note that the site is strictly for residents staying on a pitch. However, as a working Bird Observatory, staff and volunteers will pass through the site.
DIRECTIONS: From Patrington, turn right off the A1033 (Kingston upon Hull to Withernsea) onto the B1445, signposted Easington. After approximately 6.5 miles, follow signs to Kilnsea in Easington. The site is on the left within 2.5 miles, just past the left bend by the Crown and Anchor Inn.
All pitches are part hard-standing with adjacent grass and access to electric hook-up points. Mains water is available on-site, and there are two IBC containers for chemical toilet waste disposal. Please note: there are currently no toilet or shower facilities on site.
Rates are £18 per night, including electric. All proceeds from the CL site go straight back in to conservation efforts by Spurn Bird Observatory here at Spurn.
