Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously commend the property for its immaculate condition. The absence of any negative comments regarding cleanliness and the specific mentions of the property being spotless suggest a very high standard maintained by the owners.
The property's secluded woodland setting is frequently highlighted, with its proximity to local amenities and attractions in Whitby adding to its appeal. The presence of wildlife and the peaceful environment are appreciated, although one mention of a stagnant pond slightly impacts the score.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests noting the spaciousness, comfortable beds, and cosy atmosphere. The property's ability to accommodate both large groups and pets comfortably contributes to the high rating in this category.
The range of facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen, entertainment options, hot tub, and sauna, are frequently praised. The property's maintenance appears to be of a high standard, with only a lack of food storage space mentioned as a minor drawback.
The thoughtful gestures by the owners, such as the welcome hamper and additional amenities, are consistently acknowledged and appreciated by guests. While these gifts enhance the experience, it is politely noted that such offerings, while common, are not guaranteed with every stay.
About this property
Discover Pond Farm Woodlands, a beautiful log cabin situated on the outskirts of Ugthorpe, only a short distance from the likes of Whitby, with glorious views and woodland bringing you a peaceful stay. Whether you are coming together as a family, or joining friends, this lovely cottage is somewhere special to build lasting memories, or simply to begin a remarkable adventure. The wonderful rural views wrap around the open-plan living area, red layered sofas rest before a woodburning stove, and floor-to-ceiling windows invite the outside in. Unwind here, or even relax on the decked terrace area with a glass of something refreshing whilst the children make the most of the Xbox and Blu-ray player. Spend the days as you wish, then settle down in the bedroom of your choice; there is a master suite with its own shower room, a double, and a delightful twin, separated by bedside tables. Wake up amidst the delightful interior, then gather with your loved ones to plan your day trips, perhaps at the lovely breakfast bar. Save some time to make the most of the hot tub and sauna, well-appointed for the magnificent scenery and woodland, where you may even spot a deer or two. With a collection of patio areas and lighting available for when the sun sets, you will never want to leave. Two pubs are only a stroll from the cottage, very pleasant after a day’s walking the numerous public footpaths and bridleways in the area. The seaside villages of Sandsend and Runswick Bay are close by and each provide lovely, sandy beaches, fossil hunting and beachcombing. The market towns of Pickering and Hutton-le-Hole, as well as Whitby, are just the start of your unique getaway.
The village of Ugthorpe lies 9 miles from Whitby. There is a local village inn serving food, plus the seaside village of Sandsend is 6 miles away and Runswick Bay is 3 miles away, both of which provide sandy beaches. The market towns of Pickering and Hutton-le-Hole are definitely worthy of a visit.

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.

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

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!
