Pond Farm Woodlands Reviews

Had a great few days at Pond Farm. Loved the hot tub & outdoor sauna. Izzy was very helpful. Will be looking to return

Sharon

A beautiful relaxing environment with all essentials and more provided for our stay. Great location! We found the fridge a bit small as we brought fresh food to cook most of our meals. We would definitely like to return..

Anthony

You will not be disappointed staying here. This is our second stay in less than 6 months. The lodge has everything you could possibly need. The welcome basket is excellent and the little gift in the box is extremely cute. The place feels very homely, you can sit for hours just looking out of the large windows in the sitting room. We love the sauna and the hot tub , and our little furbaby loved exploring the grounds. The owners are extremely friendly and nothing at all is a bother. I would highly recommend this lodge as I have to family and friends. We will definitely be booking again. If you like eating out the black bull in the village is a must for food, it is excellent and extremely tasty, the staff are friendly, however, they dont allow dogs inside the pub. If you want to travel a bit further out for food that is also dog friendly, the visit the Stables in Whitby

Sharon

We have had a wonderful stay such a beautiful home with stunning views so peaceful just what we needed but not to far away to drive to some lovely places aswel it was a pleasure to stay for a week we will definitely return again soon couldn't fault anything the home and garden amazing

Anthony

Great place Just little pricey but if you can afford it you will love it ... Great place Just little pricey but if you can afford it you will love it Did leave the place for first 3 days as just so relaxing

The lodge is set in an amazing location, in what must be at least an acre of land. Very quite with no one around, great for the dogs and kids to explore safely. The decking could do with a spruce up, but the lodge it's self is immaculate inside and has great space for everyone. Hot tub is fantastic, bigger than the one shown on the photos, our 7 year old thought she had a private pool

It a beautiful lodge and gorgeous area highly recommend. So peaceful and so much wildlife, hot tub was lovely and warm. Lodge was clean and tidy and received a nice welcome pack with all your essentials to get you started which is a nice touch. Whitby is a 15 mins drive away so perfect for visiting. Xbox in front room doesnt turn on unfortunately so couldnt play any games. Couldnt access Netflix as needed owner to verify by email. Definitely would stay again as loved it , thank you

Inside lodge was very clean and comfortable. Bedrooms and ensuite a lor smaller than anticipated. Decking and outside dining area was in need of maintenance as the wood decking and wood seating and table was unclean and needed paint varnish treatment. Best views are at the back of the lodge, some young trees block the spectacular views at the rear of the property whichwas a shame. The out house for bbq was not available for use as there was bird mess inside on the floor and there was no cushions for the seating. This lodge is not offering the facilities shown on Sykes website. Despite this we had an enjoyable stay. The welcome pack was satisfactory but not the same as luxurious as seen on the Sykes website.

Amazingly beautiful propertyeven better than the pictures. We were married during our stay and this was the most perfect place to be. The owners made it extra special for us too.

We had a lovely week long stay at the cabin. The cabin is beautiful, comfortable and in a great location. It had everything we needed and more. We really appreciated the bits you left for us. The robes are a really nice touch! Thank you for your help when we were there! We enjoyed our stay so much we didn't want to leave. Thank you!

Benjamin Michael

We booked a last minute 3 night stay with two kids and two dogs. The accommodation is hidden away in the woods with lots of space for the kids and dogs to play. The lodge was clean, tidy with lots of facilities. Whitby was just a 10 minute drive down the road so lots to do nearby. The host made contact prior to arrival and made sure we had all the information we needed. We would definitely stay again and recommend! 5

Thank you for a lovely few days in your wonderful accomodation. Very peaceful and private, just what we were after. Really enjoyed the hot tub! I'm sure we will return. Thanks, Dale & Ali

Michelle

Before we arrived, we received a very informative text from the owner Izzy, this included contact numbers and information on how to access the property. This is a fantasticspacious lodge that has a lovely homely feel as soon as you walk through the door. This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the fresh loaf, eggs, milk and variety of jams were a lovely touch. The place was immaculate when we arrived. We loved the outdoor space very fog friendly and found an area with lots of books, games and even some treats for the dogs. There was an honesty box which we were absolutely happy to contribute to! We didnt use the sauna, but the hot tub was great. Would highly recommend and would love to return soon. Thank you

Charles

The cottage was located in a quiet and secluded wooded location and provided for all our needs, We would like to thank the owners for providing the extras which were very welcome and most unexpected. The cottage was ideally situated for us to visit the locations we wished to visit. We would revisit the cottage for a further holiday and recommend it to anybody who wished for a quiet relaxing place to stay.

Holiday accommodation was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Lovely living room with views of the woodland garden. The dogs really enjoyed all the outdoor space. Great to have bathrobes provided for use of the hot tub and sauna. Many places to visit on this beautiful coast within very easy reach. Thank you.

Andrew

Fabulous, looking to book again!

Spotlessly clean. Lovely peaceful cottage. Well located to explore the coast Would definitely book again.

A fantastic quiet woodland location for this cabin, it was a joy to see a deer wander past and rabbits amongst the trees. The cabin has a spacious well equipped kitchen and living room area and the bedrooms, though small, are comfortable. The outside patios with hot tub and sauna are an added extra to be enjoyed. Ugthorpe is a great place to stay, a lovely local pub within walking distance and a base to visit many lovely places.

Nicola

Lovely holiday. Our dog absolutely loved it! Hot tube is clean and spacious. Beds very comfortable. Beautiful location. Owners very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Stephen

We had a great time. The cabin is brilliant and very comfortable.....everything perfect. Everyone agreed that this was one of the best self catering holidays we have had. The location and outlook is wonderful, very secluded in its own woodland, albeit in a great location for visiting interesting places.

Rosalind

What a lovely setting, very impressed! Beautifully set with trees all around. The property was nice and clean, with everything we needed. The welcome goodies were a lovely surprise and very much appreciated, the owner also contacted us to say we could go in earlier which was a real help, thank you. Shame about the weather

Jeanette

Brilliant property comfortable everything was done to a high standard. Could not have asked for anything better . I would have no hesitation in recommending this property and everything it contained. Credit to the owners. Thank you.

Hannah

We had a fantastic break at Pond Farm Woodlands. The hot tub and sauna was amazing, the surrounding woodland was so beautiful, our dog loved exploring it. There were even leads attached to the trees incase your dog likes to bolt cattle in the next field and lots of wildlife. We loved the little touches that made it a very special trip, the little tray of jams and tiger loaf, wine and prosecco left on the beautifully decorated table, fridge stocked with milk, eggs and butter and the soaps and body wash in the bathroom, So thoughtful. Izzy was very accomodating aswell, she understand that my dog needed space due to his reactivity and organised to check the hot tub around us which was really appreciated. We absolutly loved our stay and would highly reccomend. We will be booking again in the future.

Pamela

This is a charming cozy cabin in a fantastic rural location secluded and secure in its own grounds. Modern and extremely well equipped. Izzy and Edwin readily accessible and quickly dealt with any problems of which there were few. The hot tub and sauna very welcome additions especially after long days in the hills. We plan to come back as soon as possible.

Sharon

Such a lovely setting, and we were lucky enough to get snow which made the scene even more magical. Owners were very helpful and responsive.

We absolutely love this lodge, we have been several times and will definitely go again. The location of it is suburb, set in a woodland behind electric gates and away from the road it is so peaceful and quiet, our dog loves a roam round the woodland there and then a walk on the moors later in the day. She happily sleeps in front of the log burner while I soak away the days aches in the hot tub. The kitchen diner is very spacious and with a large table the whole party can play board games or cards, we take our own but there are a variety of games in the out house. Its clear to see how much pride the owners take on this lodge and they are very approachable if you need to speak with them about anything at all. Thank you for another fantastic stay hope to come back soon

Nicola

This is a lovely property, very quiet, and well appointed. However, some of the pictures are clearly quite old and slightly inaccurate now. Just some small points of note washing machine is very dirty, I had to clean it before use if you take the drawer out you will see the dirt. No starter fuel pack as advertised, only fuel to purchase. Decking is a little tired & needs a clean, and no furniture to sit on at the back, the bird feeders have seen better days too! No utensils available to clean out the fire in living room or in sauna. They were both full of old ash when we arrived.

Warm cozy peaceful place to stay good food at local pub excellent spot to visit ... Warm cozy peaceful place to stay good food at local pub excellent spot to visit other places my wife and i would like to come back one day Nice touch the hamper milk bread wine ect Thank you

We love this holiday home. It is so peaceful and quiet yet close enough if you wish to drive and visit Whitby or the surrounding areas. The birds and wildlife you can see from the floor to ceiling windows was wonderful, as well as being able to spot them from the sauna or hot tub in the garden. The beds were extremely comfortable and the whole place spotlessly clean. You can tell the owners take great pride in this lodge and it clear to see why, they are also extremely helpful and pleasant if you need them for anything. We will most definitely return to this gem of a place

Sheryl

Absolutely fantastic holiday home in a beautiful setting. Completely private and peaceful. Everything you need with a welcoming hamper. Sauna and hot tub brilliant. Every little detail has been thought about couldnt fault one thing. Highly recommended

Nicola

This property is set in an idyllic setting, set back from the road and completely private. Had everything we wanted to make such a perfect stay, the hot tub was just what we needed at the end of each day. Runswick Bay is an amazing beach which is dog friendly, our pooch had the best time.

A fantastic base for exploring North Yorkshire. Private well equipped log cabin, set in 4 acres of countryside, helpful owners, who had made it feel home from home. More info required in the log cabin, on location of central heating thermostat, operation of heaters in the outhouse, and rubbishrecycling procedure.

Such a lovely lovely idyllic place to stay set in its very own large very personal private grounds, Doggies loved it too. We were even lucky enough to glimpse a Deer on our stay! The most peaceful place we have had the pleasure of staying with everything that you need. The Jacuzzi was so relaxing at the end of the day too ! The owners have done everything to make the place extremely comfortable. Will obviously be revisiting. Highly recommended. Thank You

Christopher

Fabulous relaxing stay, beautiful views and wonderful wildlife. If any advise was required nothing to much trouble for owners Izzy and Edwin Will be back as soon as we can. Thank you

The property is in a beautiful setting which is very private. The house had everything you need and it was great to be able to use the hot tub and sauna. The hosts were brilliant and we had a lovely stay. Thank you!

Gladys

Wonderful house and location in it's own grounds so very private and secluded but close enough to lots of little towns and villages with community shops and great pubs and restaurants. Spotlessly clean and welcoming with great hot tub and sauna, had a really relaxing week , would highly recommend.

Kathleen

What a great start. Arrived to some lovely music playing and a log burning scene on the TV. Nice and warm and spotlessly clean. Everything you need has been thought of, owners obviously take a pride in the property and want guests to have a great time. Loved the huge hot tub which again kept spotless. Would definitely return in future. Suggest a guest book in property so feedback can be left.

Vanessa

Brilliant place definitely would like to visit again. Instructions for everything quite clear and concise but no instructions for sauna and we were not sure exactly how to use it , we should have googled it !

Rachel

Another perfect stay , another perfect holiday. Im sure we will return again at some point . Thank you again
