Kaitkyella Lodge

We really enjoyed our stay here.

The lodge is in a prime location and even though it’s on a working farm it’s very peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub is an extra luxury and the views from it were amazing. The lodge itself was clean and tidy and nicely decorated. The only criticism I could give is that there isn’t much storage space in the lodge. We went as a family of 4 (and a dog) for 5 nights and we didn’t have enough space for clothing/ coats/shoes which can clutter the place up when staying.

Very happy with the stay, great location, very clean and very nice staff.

Meat available to buy on site at very good prices. Highly recommend to couples. Will be staying again

Upon arrival the place was tidy & clean, the location of the property is great.

The owners were friendly. I had to message a couple of times and they responded nice & quick. The butchers on site was lovely ! The BBQ provided was a bonus & the hot tub was nice. The extra £50 charge to use the hot tub seems a little excessive considering the property was already £603 for an 3 night stay. I’ve never experienced this to be an extra charge before, it’s usually all in. We did have trouble with the doors in the property, the bathroom door & bifolds were really difficult to open and close due to them sticking. Wish we were provided with more essentials e.g toilet paper, fresh towels, bin bags, washing up liquid & sugar. I also think some cleaning supplies would have been handy to keep the place clean, especially with us taking out 2 dogs & a baby. One of the sky light blinds wouldn’t work which meant it was really bright when our baby was napping & early on a morning. the place was lovely and we enjoyed our stay but I personally think this place is a little over priced for what it is.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge, beautiful location, close enough to Scarborough for everything we needed.

The BBQ and hot tub were enjoyed but we found it unusual having to pay a hot tub supplement, not experienced that previously and usually covered in the accommodation price! Also, left hand bi-fold door was difficult to close and open due to sticking in the frame, and the same for the bathroom door. The rubbish facilities could also be improved, no recycling and no lid on the outside bin. I had to turn the bin upside down to protect the bags from rain. These are minor issues and certainly wouldn't stop us returning to the lodge.

hello!

we had a beautiful time at Stepney Hill Farm. a gorgeous lodge and a beautiful view. thank you for putting the meat we ordered in the fridge for when we arrived. thank you Robyn

We really enjoyed the fact it is on the farm and although it is a working farm we weren’t disturbed at all whilst we were there.

Kids loved saying hello to the sheep and the pigs every morning and having all that space really gave us a premium feel to the short break we had. We enjoyed every second of it. We brought our Collie dog with us and I think she had a better time than us since she was originally from a farm. It was a pleasant experience and beat staying in a cramped caravan for a few days. Worth the extra dollar, I would definitely recommend staying here and would consider it myself again for sure. Thankyou

We got married here over the weekend and we couldn’t have asked for anymore.

The cottage was beautiful the views was out of this world. The owners was so accommodating. You don’t need to leave the farm as they have a farm shop/butchers a bakery and a butty shop which is all top notch. We highly recommend it too everyone who enjoys all these things and just want to chill out looking at the views in the hot tub. ❤️

beautiful property - hot tub wonderful.

Could do with a freezer (even if only in the fridge). Recommend the meat sold on the farm

Lovely place only 2 things I didn’t like the mattress was stained and didn’t like to pay the extra 50 for the hot tub should be included in price as that was expensive.

But lovely place

Cottage stay were fine, no problems occurred.

Lovely hot tub and great area to explore. We did leave a couple of things at the cottage and asked the owner to post back to us and paid for the postage. The owner read the messages but completely ignored us and didn’t reply and never posted our belongings either.

Kaitkyella Lodge is a wonderful getaway,we love it and stayed many times.

Peace and quiet mixed with the ability to get around easily. Views are fabulous from the back and the hot tub with the farm animals putting in an appearance from time to time. Could do with a wheely bin with a lid out the front to prevent any spills from wind. Well done to all for a great stay again, see you all again next year. Thankyou.

wonderful property.

so sorry we could not stay longer. hopefully we can go again.

We just loved our stay here.

It was so peaceful, and the property is so spacious, private and comfortable. The full wall of windows overlooking the valley give magical views. We enjoyed watching the proud Canada Geese parents, with their six little goslings, parading around the pond and the field. Also Moorhens with chicks. The garden is sheltered, but gets afternoon and evening sun. Perfect for a BBQ and a glass of wine. It's perfectly placed for exploring the East Coast, and so close to all the little coastal villages and towns. We had a different beach walk every day, for a week. Lots of pubs nearby, with great food, and friendly staff and customers. I shall be recommending to our friends!!

Overall a very nice cottage in a lovely setting, very well presented and as described except there is no fire, crockery could do with replacing but otherwise a very pleasant stay

Cottage was lovely, cosy and comfy.

I just felt it was lacking extra towels for the hot tub only having 2 for a week and sharing it with hot tub and shower especially when you have shower before hot tub and after, no robes or outside shoes again most I have visited supply these as walking through the property with wet feet. Lack of kitchen supplies, no welcome hamper which again first time I have had nothing, milk or bread would of been nice to keep us going. No spare bin bags and no instructions on where to place rubbish, only one bin outside but 2 recyclable inside? No hand soap in the bathroom but moisturiser? Upstairs remote blinds batteries not working in the remote control. 2 other controls on the fireside but nothing to say for what? Fire mentioned in description on Sykes info but no fire.

A great home and location.

Hot tub was lovely, great views, butcher shop too was great. Everything you could ask for.

Property is situated in a lovely area , and the property itself is just perfect for a getaway especially if you go just as a couple .

Will definitely be booking again .

Kitchen area was not well equiped, ie no scissors and only 1 tea towel.

More bathing towels are needed in light of the hot tub. Some hooks to hang coats would have been helpful. The hot tub was lovely and well maintained we did enjoy our stay and only point out these things in the hope of being helpful. Thank you.

It was a great cottage with a hot tub with fantastic views, because you are part of a farm they have a fantastic butcher’s the meats were high quality but the prices very cheap.

We love this lodge!

Our second time staying and a perfect base. The hot tub views across the farm are beautiful and the property is set up in such a way it feel spacious in summer especially with the doors open into the outside area, but is also super cosy when the sun goes down and in the colder months (our previous stay was October) the buzz of activity on the farm and in the butchers across the yard is lovely but you wouldn’t know it is there when your in the very private garden and hot tub. You’re in a very short drive of all the activities in Scarborough. We especially enjoyed Alpamere water park and a day in York but ventured out most nights to eat. We will be back again without doubt!

Beautiful lodge with a fantastic view!

All amenities and great hot tub. The farm butchers was an added bonus and our daughter loved the visit from the cows every day lol. Good location to day trip from and the hosts were extremely friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again. Thank you very much!!!! A+++

We have just returned from a very relaxing few days break.

The cottage is just as described with stunning views. The hot tub is a very welcome after a the long walks we had been on. The farm is in a little way out of Scarborough itself, but can be walked to easily enough. We also walked down to the bus stop and hopped onto a bus to Robin hoods bay. All in all a very welcome relaxing break.

Enjoyable stay in a great location, nice & private too.

The weather was fabulous which meant a lot of flies, not ideal but it is a farm after all. Would have liked more plates & cutlery etc so we didn’t have to put dishwasher on every day.

Absolutely loved our stay.

Peaceful and private. Great location, perfect views from the hot tub

The lodge was very spacious and comfortable for either a couple or a couple with a young family.

It has most amenities there to provide for a couple or small family and GSH should the evenings get a bit chilly. The hot tub was a welcome relief after all our walking and the bed was super comfortable to sleep in too.

Beautiful location ,lovely accomadation and contact with owners excellent.

Absolutely loved our stay here, Very clean and spacious.

It has a stunning view from the hot tub. It has everything you need we didn’t have any problems what so ever. We will 100% be returning.

If you want a chilled relaxing break, this is the place to go, and only 5 min drive from center if you want to venture out.

Stunning place, views from hot tub are fantastic, spotlessly clean, everything provided. We will be returning

Lovely property although Was extremely cold when first arrived and no fire like advertised in the description and welcome book?

? But soon warmed up after first night. Hot tub views amazing, lovely to sit and look out to the countryside.

It was such a lovely place to stay, my partner enjoyed the hot tub view and we were pleased with how clean the house was definitely going to rebook again soon.

Beautiful location and very peaceful stay in a lovely cottage.

Thank you, the stay was fantastic.

I would highly recommend for any couple or small family for a little relaxation time. The views are outstanding and the property is to the highest standard. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we will be back in the near future. Thank you again..

A lovely place to relax.

The property was really nicely done out. The hot tub was nice and had a beautiful view. Really enjoyed our stay.

Our stay at the lodge was amazing!

It is a beautiful property, fully kitted out and kept absolutely immaculate. We had the most comfortable and relaxing weekend possible, I can’t wait to visit again!

A fantastic venue, hugely convenient.

Would highly recommend.

It would be good to know that next door is used as a wedding venue.

This can be very noisy with loud music and lots of people celebrating till late into the night. So if you were looking for a quiet break away, this can be quiet annoying. Also the hot tub is not aa private as it can be.

We stayed here as a family of three and what a beautiful place to stay!

Ideal for exploring the surrounding areas. We visited Thornton-Le-Dale, Scarborough and Robin Hood’s Bay while we were there. We also went to Alpamare water park when we were there which was only a 5/10 minute drive and brilliant for families! It was great to come back to the lodge after a busy day and relax in the hot tub, with the most beautiful and tranquil views. The lodge was clean and beautifully decorated, the sofa and bed was comfortable. I would say it is probably better suited to couples that eat out most of the time though. There were a few things people should be aware of. There was a wedding on the Friday and Saturday night when we were there. The music was loud until midnight and then you could hear people talking and waiting for taxis outside after this. However, the music didn’t bother us at all. It was a wedding after all and it was quite fun joining in doing the Macarena whilst sitting in the hot tub. We even made a hedge friend on the Saturday night when someone started whistling and talking to us from the other side of the hedge, which we found hilarious! The kitchen is stocked with the very basics and only four of everything (and only three bowels). There is no freezer, which we found hard, and we found it would’ve suited us better to have a freezer rather than a dishwasher. Although, the staff were so friendly and we were given ice a couple of times when we were unable to get some from the shop, which was very kind. It would’ve also been handy to have a door mat at the back door too, especially when you’re coming back in from the hot tub. We used one of our towels on the floor to prevent slipping. There were so many flies, but that’s to be expected on a farm. The shower wasn’t very powerful and more storage would’ve been great too! The butchers and tea room on site are both brilliant and the staff are fantastic! We can highly recommend the family breakfast and BBQ packs from the butchers and the sandwiches and ploughman’s lunch from the tea room was delicious too. Overall, there were a few things mentioned above that could’ve be tweaked to make our experience even better. However, that view, that stunning view, made up for everything! We would definitely like to return in the future and would definitely recommend it as a fantastic place to stay and explore.

A lovely lodge on the end of the Tea Rooms just next door.

Everything you needed was provided, from Gas BBQ to Hot Tub and outside eating area with table and chairs. The large folding doors to the rear of the lodge enables you to extend the lounge area into the well kept private rear garden weather permitting

Beautiful cottage with amazing scenery, Great location and the tea rooms next door provided really lovely food - we had a wonderful roast lunch and the breakfasts were very tasty.

Staff were lovely. Butchers across the courtyard was handy for food and the bbq pack was good value. Some minor points: Cottage wasn’t 100% clean when we arrived as the floors felt dirty on our feet and the sofas and footstool in need of a good clean - really comfy but looking quite stained. Cushions quite prickly due to feathers poking out. Kitchen ideally needs a freezer and bigger fridge as well as more worktop space to make it more usable as staying for a week we struggled for buying meals to keep us going as nowhere to store them and also needed more cooking space. Pint glasses would also be useful too for larger drinks as the ones provided were quite small. Farm is located on a road so traffic is noticeable and farm was noisy at times throughout the night. Welcome pack could do with more information about what to do in the area and also provide instructions on check out as we didn’t know what to do about keys and bins etc but otherwise an absolutely beautiful place and would be happy to stay again one day.

We loved our stay over bank holiday weekend the cottage and the views were amazing, especially from the hot tub which was ready to use on our arrival.

Perfect location for us to explore Scarborough with our little boy just a short drive away. We even got to cuddle the lambs. Staff in the tea rooms very accommodating the farmer very friendly and welcoming. Would love to return!

Absolutely loved the stay, highlight of the stay was the little lambs running through the yard.

Views are incredible, already got friends and family looking to book!

We had a fantastic stay, our hosts were really welcoming and helpful.

The view from our hot tub was really special. We also enjoyed the use of the cafe and farm shop all on site. It was a really good location to explore this lovely bit of Yorkshire. Highly recommended

Absolutely lovely 3 night stay at Kaitkyella lodge.

We had fantastic weather and spent most of each evening in the hot tub. Really relaxing weekend. Had a bbq on the Friday with meat from the on-site butchers. Great place and views!

we had a lovely stay, the lodge was great.

maybe put hooks or a shelf next to the shower for towels but everything else was great. Many thanks and we may well see you again.

A lovely lodge situated with stunning views.

The on site Tea room and Butchers were a massive added bonus. Great time had by all

This lodge is lovely, views are breathtaking.

Relaxing is just what you need after a busy work life. Me and my partner had a amazing time and would come here again

We cannot fault or time at Kaitkyella Lodge, it was a beautiful lodge with amazing views especially from the hot tub, the team rooms on site were lovely and everything was only a ten minute drive away.

It was ideal for the relaxing and peaceful getaway we wanted, would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay there apart from the weather!

The house was really well furnished and we loved the hot tub! Thanks again Andy and Jill

A lovely week stay in the property with lovely views.

Spacious rooms and very modern decor. We tried the herb fed chicken from the farm shop and didn't disappoint. Well worth the money.

A really relaxing stay.

Perfect location for exploring North Yorkshire.

We enjoyed our stay at your lovely cottage.

The accommodation was very modern and spacious. The views of the countryside were very picturesque. The hot tub was a great bonus. The window shutters were great as other guests had mentioned the windows needed them. Highly recommend the couples bar b q packs from the on site butcher. Scarborough is a lovely seaside town and the views from the top of the castle are amazing. Whitby is well worth a visit with lovely narrow streets and a quaint harbour. Thank you for a fantastic stay. Hopefully we will return in the future.

Beautiful accommodation, very clean and comfortable.

More towels for use with the hot tub, and extra tea towles/dish cloths. Unable to wash these as no washing machine. Some cleaning products as unable to clean up properly at end of stay. Also small hover, brush and pan difficult to keep floor clean. More dishes, cutlery and serving dishes. More knives for food prep. Windows needed additional blinds, especially bathroom, busy farm and felt quite exposed. Disappointed on receiving an email the day before departure regarding no washing machine or freezer. Was not aware of this. Not highlighted in description. We are aware of weddings/functions in the barn but the music was quite disturbing. Did not release it would be quite so intrusive and busy Not good for a restful holiday. The remainder of the week was good and enjoyable. Tearoom staff very helpful and accomodating. Overall beautiful accommodation and location.

Listing describes fridge/freezer and washing machine.

In fact fridge only and dishwasher not washing machine. Needs blinds up at two windows for privacy. Not enough cutlery and knives blunt. No scissors. Instructions for induction hob missing. Bit of a trek to bathroom in the night from upper floor to lower floor. The above said, an excellent apartment, spacious and very clean. Well placed for exploring the east coast. As stated on the web site, weddings are celebrated at weekends across the yard so there can be some noise overflow although it was not a problem on the one night it happened to us. Score 7/10

The lodge was clean and comfortable and the views were lovely.

However it was not the tranquil retreat that was advertised. During our stay of a week there were three function that took place (wasn’t aware when booking) resulting in loud music being played until midnight and 11pm. Our children were unable to sleep due to the noise or watch tv and it was not a relaxing stay because of this.

We have just returned from a weeks stay in this wonderful accommodation and we were very happy with our holiday.

The lodge itself is fantastic, was quite well equipped and was very clean on arrival. The views are stunning and the hot tub was obviously the biggest bonus! We had little contact with the owners / staff during our stay, but they were welcoming when we arrived. This place is in the perfect location for travelling to nearby towns and beaches and is set on a lovely farm. We had a wonderful stay, but there are just a couple of things we wanted to point out: We feel that all windows on the bottom floor (bathroom and side window) should have a blind or curtain, particularly as it's such a busy little place and we felt our privacy was hindered at times. Additionally, a better brush or even hoover would be ideal as it was hard to keep the floors tidy. Lastly, during the week we had a little issue with small black bugs coming in from under the big french doors (they stayed around the door). We didn't raise this as an issue at the time as it's probably expected in the countryside and didn't cause us much bother, but it could be something to look at for the future. However, we really loved this accommodation and would definitely return if we were in the area again! Thanks.

A superbly appointed holiday cottage with a stunning view over the Yorkshire countryside.

The friendly owners are close at hand and happy to help in any way - as are the many curious animals who come to say hello! A minor observation is that the property could do with a couple of clothes hooks, possibly under the stairs for coats and in the bathroom near the shower for towels/dry clothes.

We had a brilliant stay at the Kaitkyella Lodge, it was everything that we wanted and more!

The hot tub and views were especially amazing, would definitely recommend for others to stay here!

Beautiful cottage, absolutely spotless.

Only criticism would be can see straight in from car park/farm yard, needs a blind / curtains/privatisation on window. A couple more towels/ bath robe for hot tub would be good. Overall a beautiful place. Would love to go again.

A very nice, newly built modern property and perfect getaway with the most stunning views ….

with the added convenience of being only 3miles from the coast. The owners couldn’t do enough to make our stay a good one! Lovely tea rooms and great breakfast on the doorstep. Farm shop has excellent barbecue packs too!! Hot tub was wonderful … again with the most stunning views! Can’t fault it! Hope to be able to return at some stage.
