Mayflower at Martindale Shepherds Huts Reviews

Verified Customer Review
21st July 2025
We had a fantastic time, just far enough away from the hustle and bustle, yet only ten minutes to get anything you could need in Pocklington centre. Amazing hot tub… had to be good because the husband was in it more than me, and that’s a first. We couldn’t have asked for anymore, the hut had everything we needed provided, and even the rainy days were easily filled!
