  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.

  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.

  What a lovely, peaceful, little pod!

  It’s very modern, up to date, comfortable and cosy. I was fortunate to have the whole place to myself, as the other pod was empty. It had everything I needed (apart from a mirror, positioned somewhere for my hairdryer to reach, to dry my hair). The only issue I had was with the flies. I couldn’t have any of the windows or the door open, which detracted from the whole experience. I appreciate it’s not the owners fault, and I wouldn’t know what to suggest to be honest. Maybe an electric fly killer/zapper? The only other thing I’d suggest is getting a small, cordless vacuum. I was only there for 3 nts but felt the need to want to vacuum round in the living area (especially with all the dead flies)! There was a dust pan & brush, but I struggle to bend down. Brilliantly situated for the coast and beaches, with the bonus of being able to retreat from the busy areas to peace and tranquility. The weather wasn’t great so I didn’t use the hot tub (unfortunately)! As much as it was lovely to have the sun streaming in through the windows, whilst setting, I wanted blinds/curtains. I wouldn’t have liked to have experienced that on a really hot day.

  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.

  Amazing! The property is exactly as described.

  It is a pod and so it does have a small kitchen area but what more can you ask with a hob, oven and microwave. There are plenty of utensils, pans and oven trays. There is space in drawers and the pan cupboard to store food if required and a full size fridge and freezer. The main thing for us is cleanliness and everywhere was immaculate. The beds were comfortable, I slept really well. Each of the bedrooms have a TV and a hanging rail with coat hangers. The view was beautiful, across fields and it was lovely to watch the sun set and the sky turn golden. We can see how the property got its name! The grounds are fully enclosed, plenty of parking. The hot tub was perfect. We booked some time ago but then to see some of the reviews I did wonder what to expect. All I can say is our experience was brilliant. Yes, it is a small, compact pod- but you can clearly see from the photographs what it is. The living area was actually bigger than I expected. We would highly recommend and we will be returning.
