We recently enjoyed a stay at The Wainstones with our dog and honestly, it was quite a lovely escape. The space is pretty cosy, so packing light is definitely the way to go, but they’ve made great use of what’s available. The views from the lodge and the hot tub were absolutely stunning - such a treat to relax there. It felt quite private, though we could see other campers nearby, which was fine. The owners greeted us warmly and gave clear instructions for access and using the hot tub, which was appreciated. The place was generally clean, but a deep clean now and then wouldn’t hurt - inside cupboards, the bathroom corners, the sofa and outside areas could do with a bit of tidying up. Some paint is peeling here and there, but honestly, it didn’t bother us much. A quick tip - bring extra towels if you’re using fake tan, as theirs aren’t suitable and don’t forget one for the hot tub. They only provide plastic glasses for drinks, but that’s probably for safety. We’d definitely come back - it’s a lovely spot!

Really enjoyed our stay, just a shame the hot tub wasn't warm enough for us.

We had a really lovely stay at the lodge, honestly couldn't have asked for more. We booked the Carlton lodge and it turned out to be just right for what we needed. The kitchenette was handy with a sink, fridge, tiny freezer, hob and microwave - perfect for simple meals. The double bed was comfy enough and the small pull-out sofa bed was fine for extra space, even if it didn’t look super plush. The TV was a decent size, which was a bonus. The bathroom had a shower, sink and toilet, all in good order. Outside, the enclosed garden was ideal for our dog (they charge £30 for pets, which is fair) and it had a picnic bench, a firepit and a hot tub - lovely touches! Only minor gripes: the sofa bed didn’t look the comfiest, but we didn’t sleep on it so it didn’t bother us. Also, sitting on the picnic bench wasn’t very comfy - some camping chairs would've been better. A sweep and mop in the lodge would’ve been nice, but overall, a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. The scenery was breathtaking and it felt so tranquil. The only downside was how bright it got early in the morning, but apart from that, everything was spot on.

We had a fantastic weekend here! The place had all we needed for two and it’s only about ten minutes to the nearest food spots. Everyone was super friendly and made us feel really welcome. Great stay overall!

We had such a lovely weekend here! The owner was super helpful, giving us loads of tips and a handy booklet with things to do nearby. The hot tub was perfect for unwinding and the place was spotless. We’re already planning to come back soon!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Farndale pod. The views were absolutely stunning and the covered hot tub meant we could relax even in bad weather - the water was always perfectly hot. The decking was a nice touch, perfect for sitting outside and we liked having a fire pit nearby, even if we didn’t end up using it because of the wind. Inside, the bed and sofa were both really comfy and the shower had great pressure with hot water every time. The fridge was a good size, not mini as we feared and the kitchen, TV and dining table all worked well. It was lovely and warm, even first thing in the morning!

We had a fantastic time at this pod. It’s super clean, comfy and the views are just stunning. The hot tub was definitely a highlight! The site feels private enough to relax, but you’re still close to charming villages and bigger towns if you fancy exploring. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. We’d definitely come back - highly recommend it!

The hot tub, bathroom and bedroom were fantastic. A proper oven would've been nice, but the hob and microwave did the job fine.

We had such a lovely weekend away! The place was super cosy and perfect for relaxing. We were really pleased to find a good selection of kitchen stuff - plates, bowls, knives, forks, spoons, even a bottle and tin opener. Honestly, everything we needed was there. One small thing - we didn’t think to bring any cleaning supplies for the benches, so off to Aldi we went to grab some. Also, no oven glove or tea towels, but that’s no biggie - we’ll just bring our own next time. Oh and you can buy logs for a fire too, which is a nice touch. All in all, a really great stay and we’d definitely go back!

We loved staying in this cosy little cabin, nestled in such a peaceful spot. It really does feel miles from anywhere, with stunning views over the hills. The place was well equipped, though lacking an oven. The shower was powerful and the calm atmosphere made it perfect for relaxing. Truly lovely!

Beautiful well equipped hot tub lodge, perfect for romantic break.

The welcome by the owners was lovely as he showed us to the pod and how the hot tub worked. A lovely clean and well stocked pod. Hot tub was amazing. Local pub the Black Swan was very reasonably priced and great food. Day trips to Whitby, Robin Hood Bay and Scarborough were approx 1 hour away. Fab weekend.

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!

A great base location for a break in the North York Moors. We had a warm and friendly welcome from our arrival, with much appreciated local tips and advice.
