The photos and descriptions of the property and facilities do not do it justice We found the little extras well thought out and well appreciated The lodge was one of the best we have ever stayed in Extremely beautiful and peaceful location

Michelle

Fabulous stay this is our 3rd time so that says it all

Heres a polished review you could post We had a wonderful stay at Stags Mount Hideout Country Lodges and can honestly say its one of the best places weve ever stayed. The lodge was immaculate, beautifully presented, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The facilities were exceptional, especially the hot tub, which was perfect for relaxing after a day exploring. The generous welcome hamper was a lovely touch, and the luxurious robes added to the feeling of a real treat. Our dog Eri was made to feel just as welcome as we were, which made all the difference. The owners were incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The location is ideal for exploring the North York Moors and the surrounding area, making it a perfect base for walking, sightseeing, or simply unwinding in peaceful countryside. We couldnt have asked for more and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

A wonderful place to stay, very restful and comfortable, especially the beds! Lots of thoughtful extras, from cake and wine to dog treats, spare poo bags and a dog bed, although we brought our own. The stair gate was great for keeping dog downstairs. The dog field for exercising morning and evening was very much appreciated by our mutt. The ducks, hens, sheep and horses were fun to watch, would love to come back with the grandchildren! A great location for visiting the area. We had a wonderful time, wish we could have stayed for longer.

This lodge is absolutely amazing! ! We would definitely stay here again and recommend. All the lovely extras made it feel very special, treats for our teenage boys left on their pillows, and an hamper full of tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits and also a lovely Victoria sponge cake and prosecco. There were dressing gowns and slippers for us all and even our dog wasn't left out. The dog exercise field was lovely with the most wonderful views for miles. It was very central for visiting many places that were quite close by. The hot tub was a big hit with us all, it was very clean. We stayed for a full week when we had a heat wave, the only thing we would recommend is an airconditioning unit, it was very warm inside the lodge with only one of the two fans being beneficial.

The lodge was perfect in every way, loved the welcome message and treats. The slippers and robes are a great touch for the hot tub, hot tub was fab. Lovely to have speakers inside and out. Spotlessly clean throughout. Loved seeing the animals. One of the best lodges we have stayed in, we will definitely be back. The dog loved it too. Great location for getting out and about in Yorkshire. Dalby forest was lovely.

Loved everything about the property. The accommodation, the surrounding area around the property, the level of presentation everything. Anyone with a pet I would recommend this for a good stay away. Space for the pets and plenty in the near villages and towns for a good few full days. Will definitely look to book again in the future.

We had an excellent week, the lodge was immaculate, hot tub was great. Everything you need is there, plenty of local information. Some lovely extras touches like the slippers and dressing gown as well as the welcome pack. Fabulous location for walking and visiting attractions. Hosts were available if needed. Would stay her again if in that area.

Michelle

A lovely property that was booked for a special occasion but sadly I have been left feeling incredibly let down and considerably out of pocket as a result. On arrival there was noisy construction work taking place a stones throw from the property and this continued every single day of my stay including the weekend. The property was cold with no instructions available on how to work the heating and on the Saturday I woke up to no hot water at all. I was informed by the owner that nobody else had complained about the noise, so I am assuming they are inferring that makes it acceptable. I was also told the work had to happen sometime and they aim to do it when people leave for the day. So if you are looking for a relaxing break to read and enjoy the hot tub you would have been very disappointed. The owner also told me it was colder due to it being winter time. What should have been a memorable experience and a lovely break has been an expensive mistake. Never assume you are going to receive customer service that matches the property listing.

Outstanding! The property was spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipped and sited in a great location. The owners have done a fantastic job and should be very proud. Will definitely recommend and would visit again. Mark.

Barbara

The accommodation is first class. They really have thought of everything! It is the only place with a hot tub we have experienced where the tub is permanently on and cleaned every three days! The wifi and smart tvs are first class. Again the only rental property where we could view Sky Sports! The site is excellent, the layout, the security, the animals, the recycling, the dogs field, the supply of both chicken & duck eggs and wood for the burner which is so convenient and great value, the parking spaces and most importantly the owners are so friendly and helpful. How could it be improved? It would be handy to have a hose pipe to swill the decking. A couple of trays for tv dinners! note to self dont wear socks when descending the stairs! We will definitely be back!

Lauren

Above and beyond what we had expected. This is the best hot tublodge get away we have been to. Everything was absolutely spotless and beautiful. The beds super comfy and had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Loved the little personal touches such as welcome message on the board, little cakes, bubbly in the fridge and the bedtreats etc for the dog. Great location as well, can be as quiet and chilled or be out and about whatever you want from your stay. Will absolutely be back here again!

Absolutely wonderful place with everything you could need and more besides

Lovely and well equipped property. Great welcome pack and also a doggie welcome pack. Fantastic dog exercise field, and also loved the little animals on the site... very cute. Fabulous hot tub, and decking, not overlooked. Great location for a walk, or car journey into villages or the beach. A great stay in a lovely property.

A holiday lodge that delivered everything it promised. Such a relaxing place to stay with every amenity you would wish for. Toddler grandson loved all the animals and the play equipment too! Hot tub was so relaxing as was the countryside outlook. Scarborough , Dalby Forest and Cayton Playdale farm not far to drive and easy to park . Would definitely visit again.

Great lodge, very clean and well equipped. We would have liked a cupboard in the kitchen to put our groceries in. We would have liked the shower and toilet upstairs to have had doors for privacy, also not enough drawers or wardrobe space.

What a gem of a property. Everything was perfect and was such a luxurious stay. Will definitely return

Graham

Beautiful lodge, clean ,quiet and very comfortable five stars from us both.

Dennis

Its my second time stopping at these lodges since January, and it will not be my last. You have loads to do within an hrs drive, or sit in the hottub with music on and enjoy.. Ill be looking to go around July time, if theres a lodge available..

Jeanette

This is our third visit to these lodges. They are well equipped it's like being home from home. The hot tub is brilliant and well maintained. The welcoming pack, robes and slippers are a great touch that makes you feel special when you arrive. Nicole and Scott are attentive to anything you need and happy to help. We always come away with a heavy heart that we have to return home.

We booked Stags Mount specifically for the large enclosed grass area for 2 dogs accessed directly from the decking, as shown in the photos. This had been changed and the path removed, so we didn't have anywhere to allow the dogs to roam! The lodge was lovely, well maintained, but much smaller than the photos suggested I should have realised the use of a wide angled lens!

We wanted to find something special and memorable for our short break and that's exactly what we found with Stags Mount. The location is lovely, just a short distance from the beautiful Thornton Le Dale and Dalby Forest, the coast is also easily accessible. The accommodation is perfect, all comforts and amenities are so well considered, not just for us but for our puppy too who also felt right at home while enjoying his first holiday. The hosts are so friendly and thoughtful, they have a genuine desire to make their guest comfortable. We all look forward to making another booking here in the future.

Amazing week , thank you ! ! Everthing we wanted & needed

This will be our holiday home from now on. The peace and the lovely lodge mafe us thinj to return.Thank you very much

Amazing properties, the best weve stayed in! We stayed in Foxes Den last February so couldnt wait to return. We have also booked Eagles Peak for Christmas. Scott and Nicole have done a fantastic job with these properties, such high spec and comfort, everything has been thought of and catered for. They have horses on site so are always around checking if everything is ok. We loved feeding the chickens and their eggs are the best website tasted. There is a pub at the bottom of the driveway and ThortonLeDale and Pickering are a short drive or bus away. Whitby and Scarborough are a also good day trips. Highly recommended and cant wait to return!

This is a fantastic holiday cottage, you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. Every detail has been catered for. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Clearly, a great deal of thought has gone into making a holiday at Stags Mount memorable. The hot tub was well maintained throughout our stay. This holiday home is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the local pub is just a short walk away. We had a great holiday and when we are next visiting Yorkshire we will be staying at Stags Mount again.

Stags Mount is an incredible property, finished to a high standard. The owners were thoughtful in their design and we enjoyed all the comforts of this, including the treats they left to welcome us. Also great in terms of location

Manjot

Would definitely consider coming back again! Met every expectation of a lovely stay

From start to finish we got the wow factor. Pulling into the property we thought it was stunning then all the wee touches inside were truly heartwarming. Nicole and Scott have truly thought of everything and clearly put the work in. My pooch Petal gave this a 5 paw out of 5 rating with all the dog friendly touches including a wee bed, dog treats and a note of dog friendly places nearby. Anybody thinking of booking absolutely go for it and try the fresh eggs from the hideout hens who come and greet you at the fence when you go walking by. All in all our week at this beautiful property gave us the tranquility we needed, I'm already trying to plan our return again.

Samantha

Absolutely amazing place, we were so looked after and could not fault the place at all. Little gifts on arrival and the owners were so friendly. It was a dream get away and we could not thank them enough. A truly wonderful hideout.

Rebecca

Perfect 2 night get away. The lodge was done to a very high standard. Cant fault it at all. The owners should be very proud of what they have achieved.

Jonathan

Amazing place with everything you could possibly need, really relaxing and would definitely rebook.

Jeanette

Stags Mount is a beautiful Lodge. Nicole and Scott have equipped the lodge in such a way that it feels like home. The extras make it extra special, even the dog and a 7 month old were catered for. We had a great week and we enjoyed exploring the area. Definitely will be back for a third visit.

Debbie

A fabulous place to stay high quality and would definitely recommend

Great stay. Beautiful lodge. Would suggest adding protection under the stairs as I banged my head retrieving a box next to microwave.

Could not have spent our mini moon in a better location, the lodges are amazing and built to such a high standard whilst keeping that home like feeling, we will most definitely be staying again.

Stags Mount was beautiful we had a lovely long weekend here in April 2023. The place itself is amazing, wonderful surroundings and the owners have thought of everything so many nice extra touches. Great location to get to nearby towns and the coast. Couldnt fault it, would definitely recommend! Thank you!
