"We had an amazing time staying in The Wainstones with our dog. Its very compact (pack light!) but great use of the space. The view and hot tub were incredible. Felt private but you are fairly close to others and we had the campsite quite near to us. Friendly greeting on arrival with details for access and hot tub explained. Owners were very welcoming. The accommodation felt clean but I think a deep clean once in a while would help with maintenance. Things like the inside of cupboards and some areas of the bathroom and the sofa or sweeping the outside area (I am OCD). Also decorating where paint is starting to peel in small areas. Not a criticism as we would definitely return but a tiny bit more upkeep of these lovely pods/lodges would keep them as lovely as they are now. Take extra towels if you use fake tan as you can't use theirs and one for the hot tub. Only has plastic wine glasses and tumblers (for safety). Would highly recommend."

"The lodge was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. We stayed in the Carlton lodge. It had a small kitchenette with a sink, fridge, with a small freezer in it, a hob and a microwave, a double bed and a small pull-out sofa bed and a decent size tv, there's also a bathroom in the lodge with a shower, toilet and sink. Outside it had a large, enclosed area which was perfect for us as we took our dog (for a £30 charge), which also had a picnic bench, a large firepit and a hot tub! 4 stars for furniture because the sofa bed did not look comfy to sleep on but we didn't sleep on it so didn't bother us.Being really picky and offering advice for anything that would improve the experience for future guests - sitting on the picnic bench to relax was not very comfy we could have done with some camping seats or something to sit round the fire pit on and it could have done with a sweeping brush and mop in the lodge but that's just me."

"Our South View Retreat review: Loved being here, views was stunning and so peaceful. Only downfall for myself was how much light was let in so early in the morning but other than that was perfect"

"The Farndale pod was great, had super views! Hot tub was covered so could use even in poor weather and water was always nice and hot. Big decking to sit out and a fire pit to the side of the pod (we didn't use it due to it being windy). Bed and sofa very comfy, shower nice and powerful and always had hot water. Fridge was a good size, was expecting a mini fridge. TV, dining table and kitchen all good. We didn't use the combi oven but did use the hob which was fine. Nice and warm in the pod, even first thing in the morning."

"Absolutely brilliant pod, very clean and comfortable with incredible surroundings and the hot tub! The site is far enough away to be relaxing but close enough to explore the beautiful wee villages and even larger towns. The site is very well kept and is an ideal location to explore the Moors! We loved our week there and the staff are more than friendly and helpful! Very highly recommended!"

"Great little cabin and enclosed garden area that served us well as a family of 4 and a dog for 4 nights. Cabin was clean and comfortable. Hot tub was amazing.Cabins are well spread out so you dont feel overlooked."

"We had an absolutely amazing time away! You can buy logs for a fire as well! We forgot about ours so we didnt end up using them. We loved our stay and had a lovely relaxing long weekend. There was a fridge, small freezer, hob, oven and microwave. We were supplied with plates, bowls knives, forks, spoons, bottle opener, tin opener, cork opener there was everything you could have needed. The only thing I would say. We didnt have anything to clean the benches with so had to go to the local Aldi to get stuff to clean up after ourselves. We didnt have an oven glove and no tea towels but that is no problem we will just bring them next time."

"This was a first time glamping experience for me and my girlfriend and from start to finish it was amazing.
The cleanliness upon arriving to the site and the pod was of top standard.
The views you wake up to every morning was something you could never get bored of.
The jacuzzi every night after a day of exploring or doing whatever you choose around the area was something you can't get enough of.
The location of the site was perfect, not too far away from anything you may need like food and things to do yet it's far enough so it's peaceful and somewhere to escape the hectic lifestyle were used too back home.
Everyday we was greeted by John who's the owners son and he was always at hand to make sure there were no problems.
We enjoyed it that much that we are already looking at coming back next year.
If you're thinking of coming here I wouldn't think too much about it and I'd get it all booked up. 5 stars all the way!"

"We stayed here from Fri 17/6 to Mon 20/6. I deliberately chose the location as knew we would be visiting the Beamish museum in County Durham & also York, so it was pretty central.
The accommodation was very clean & comfortable. The only problem we had was with the shower not draining away in the morning - it was OK in the evening, though. We flooded the bathroom on the first occasion!
It was blissful sitting in the hot tub looking out at the beautiful scenery. This was the first holiday me & my husband had had without children (so for at least 18 years). We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Visited Redcar beach on the first evening & went home via the moors & stopped at Filey for lunch.
Would recommend, but beware the shower!"
