  We stayed here as a family of three and what a beautiful place to stay!

  Ideal for exploring the surrounding areas. We visited Thornton-Le-Dale, Scarborough and Robin Hood’s Bay while we were there. We also went to Alpamare water park when we were there which was only a 5/10 minute drive and brilliant for families! It was great to come back to the lodge after a busy day and relax in the hot tub, with the most beautiful and tranquil views. The lodge was clean and beautifully decorated, the sofa and bed was comfortable. I would say it is probably better suited to couples that eat out most of the time though. There were a few things people should be aware of. There was a wedding on the Friday and Saturday night when we were there. The music was loud until midnight and then you could hear people talking and waiting for taxis outside after this. However, the music didn’t bother us at all. It was a wedding after all and it was quite fun joining in doing the Macarena whilst sitting in the hot tub. We even made a hedge friend on the Saturday night when someone started whistling and talking to us from the other side of the hedge, which we found hilarious! The kitchen is stocked with the very basics and only four of everything (and only three bowels). There is no freezer, which we found hard, and we found it would’ve suited us better to have a freezer rather than a dishwasher. Although, the staff were so friendly and we were given ice a couple of times when we were unable to get some from the shop, which was very kind. It would’ve also been handy to have a door mat at the back door too, especially when you’re coming back in from the hot tub. We used one of our towels on the floor to prevent slipping. There were so many flies, but that’s to be expected on a farm. The shower wasn’t very powerful and more storage would’ve been great too! The butchers and tea room on site are both brilliant and the staff are fantastic! We can highly recommend the family breakfast and BBQ packs from the butchers and the sandwiches and ploughman’s lunch from the tea room was delicious too. Overall, there were a few things mentioned above that could’ve be tweaked to make our experience even better. However, that view, that stunning view, made up for everything! We would definitely like to return in the future and would definitely recommend it as a fantastic place to stay and explore.

  Our recent stay at Aspen Lodge in Whitby was nothing short of extraordinary.

  Nestled in a serene location near The Stables at Cross Butts, the lodge offers the perfect blend of tranquility and charm. The picturesque countryside views set the tone for a peaceful and rejuvenating long weekend away. The lodge itself was a haven of comfort. Thoughtfully designed, it boasted cosy interiors that made it feel like a home away from home. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the plush furnishings to the immaculate cleanliness. Waking up each morning to the soft glow of the sunrise filtering through the windows was a daily delight, making it hard to leave the comfort of the bed. Location-wise, Aspen Lodge is unbeatable. The proximity to The Stables was a unique and enchanting aspect of the stay. This location offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The surrounding area is a treasure trove of natural beauty, with scenic trails and coastal views just a short distance away. Now, let’s talk about the food and drink at The Stables – absolutely top-notch! Every meal was a culinary delight, showcasing the best of local produce. Breakfasts were hearty and wholesome, perfect for setting you up for a day of exploration. Dinners were a gourmet experience, with dishes that could easily rival those of a high-end restaurant. Paired with a carefully curated selection of wines, each meal was an indulgence that left me looking forward to the next. In conclusion, Aspen Lodge in Whitby offers an idyllic retreat that combines the best of location, comfort, and culinary excellence. Whether you’re looking for a quiet getaway or an adventure in the stunning Whitby surroundings, this lodge is the perfect choice. I left feeling completely refreshed and already dreaming of my next visit.

  We have just returned from a weeks stay in this wonderful accommodation and we were very happy with our holiday.

  The lodge itself is fantastic, was quite well equipped and was very clean on arrival. The views are stunning and the hot tub was obviously the biggest bonus! We had little contact with the owners / staff during our stay, but they were welcoming when we arrived. This place is in the perfect location for travelling to nearby towns and beaches and is set on a lovely farm. We had a wonderful stay, but there are just a couple of things we wanted to point out: We feel that all windows on the bottom floor (bathroom and side window) should have a blind or curtain, particularly as it's such a busy little place and we felt our privacy was hindered at times. Additionally, a better brush or even hoover would be ideal as it was hard to keep the floors tidy. Lastly, during the week we had a little issue with small black bugs coming in from under the big french doors (they stayed around the door). We didn't raise this as an issue at the time as it's probably expected in the countryside and didn't cause us much bother, but it could be something to look at for the future. However, we really loved this accommodation and would definitely return if we were in the area again! Thanks.

  Beautiful cottage with amazing scenery, Great location and the tea rooms next door provided really lovely food - we had a wonderful roast lunch and the breakfasts were very tasty.

  Staff were lovely. Butchers across the courtyard was handy for food and the bbq pack was good value. Some minor points: Cottage wasn’t 100% clean when we arrived as the floors felt dirty on our feet and the sofas and footstool in need of a good clean - really comfy but looking quite stained. Cushions quite prickly due to feathers poking out. Kitchen ideally needs a freezer and bigger fridge as well as more worktop space to make it more usable as staying for a week we struggled for buying meals to keep us going as nowhere to store them and also needed more cooking space. Pint glasses would also be useful too for larger drinks as the ones provided were quite small. Farm is located on a road so traffic is noticeable and farm was noisy at times throughout the night. Welcome pack could do with more information about what to do in the area and also provide instructions on check out as we didn’t know what to do about keys and bins etc but otherwise an absolutely beautiful place and would be happy to stay again one day.

  Beautiful accommodation, very clean and comfortable.

  More towels for use with the hot tub, and extra tea towles/dish cloths. Unable to wash these as no washing machine. Some cleaning products as unable to clean up properly at end of stay. Also small hover, brush and pan difficult to keep floor clean. More dishes, cutlery and serving dishes. More knives for food prep. Windows needed additional blinds, especially bathroom, busy farm and felt quite exposed. Disappointed on receiving an email the day before departure regarding no washing machine or freezer. Was not aware of this. Not highlighted in description. We are aware of weddings/functions in the barn but the music was quite disturbing. Did not release it would be quite so intrusive and busy Not good for a restful holiday. The remainder of the week was good and enjoyable. Tearoom staff very helpful and accomodating. Overall beautiful accommodation and location.
