Tony

“When we arrived, even though the listing stated one small, friendly dog was allowed (and we paid an extra £25), we were initially told that dogs were not permitted in the hut.”

During the stay, we opened both doors, but when we went to close them, one would not shut, meaning we could not leave the property securely. Eventually, someone attended, but in the end, I had to lift the door to get it to close properly. On the Thursday, the lights tripped and we could not access the switch, as it was behind a panel screwed to the wall. We had to wait for someone to attend with tools so the switch could be turned back on.

The hot tub, bbq and views were brilliant, the only slight downside is the over grown grass and nettles next to the hot tub which restricted the view

- Mark, June 2023

Hi Mark, Thank you for your feedback, the nettles had been sprayed a a few days before your visit and we were just waiting to be able to be cut down. They are now all cut back. We hope to welcome you back soon. Many Thanks Stepney Stays Team Property Owner

Rebecca March 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at the Shepherds hut, it felt really private and peaceful.”

The hot tub was incredible! Although not shown on the photos, the kitchen area is equipped with the essentials so there's no need to bring anything. I would say it could be useful to have a shelf or 2 to put food on but it's not the end of the world. We didn't meet the owners as they were away at the time, but everyone we did meet was super friendly. We will certainly be back!

Luke February 2022

“Had a lovely two night stay here this weekend, if you want time away from everything this is the place to go.”

Staff were friendly & helpful throughout our stay. Onsite butchers is an absolute must enough facilities to cook meals throughout your stay in the hut. We were lucky enough to have great weather which made for perfect star gazing in the hot tub. Gorgeous scenery & great walks available in the local area.

“We wanted a place away from everything to be together and relax.”

The shepards hut was secluded, clean, comfortable and had all the necessary facilities. We used the kitchen to prepare all our meals. We used the log burner, which kept the hut lovely and warm. The hot tub was amazing!

Latham February 2022

“Absolutely fantastic stay, really enjoyed our time at the shepherd hut.”

Everything was clean upon arrival and we had more or less everything we needed. It was initially quite cold and the fire, whilst nice, didn't kick out a tonnes of heat. Once we discovered the little space heater, it made controlling the inside temperature much easier! The oven was a little bit difficult to use but we only used it once or twice in our four night stay. Accessing the site was super easy and the taxi service got us from the train station to the farm very easily. It was a lovely walk down into town, although a bit of a slog walking back, still very much enjoyed it! We were apprehensive of the outside bathroom but found it to be really good. The hot tub was absolutely gorgeous both in the day and in the evening.

Lauren December 2021

“Shepherds hut was lovely and so was the hot tub but we did have a few hiccups along the way.”

The first was on arrival we went to the tearoom for the keys and we couldn’t find anyone we shouted hello and had a walk around. Looked up the phone numbers that went to not available. After 50 mins of waiting we messaged the Facebook page then someone finally appeared. They showed us to our hut but couldn’t show us anything as they said he dosent so that part and we figured the rest out for ourself. We did get a text of the owner later on apologising but for first impressions wasn’t brill. Apart from that the hut was lovely and more spacious than expected and the views from the hot tub were brilliant.

Amy July 2021

“Easy check-in, comfortable facilities even in the small Shepherd's Hut, and the large always-on hot tub with a view was outstanding!”

Would recommend buying a BBQ pack from the onsite butcher for use on the BBQ outside the hut, it was top notch meat.

Ellisha October 2020

“What a fantastic little gem this place is.”

What a treat to stay on a beautiful family run farm and you have the luxury of a gorgeous view of the countryside. The hot tub is a huge selling point, it’s nice and private behind the shepherds hut and has the most serene view. They really have thought of everything and you can ask for anything should you require it. We took advantage of the on-site butchers and tea rooms, both very impressive, the produce was delicious! We can’t wait to come back already!

Danielle October 2020

“Lovely little getaway.”

We had rainy weather and the hot tub was still so worth it! So warm, bubbly and clean! And the fire makes it a snug little cabin. It’s close to the tea rooms and butchers which is nice to get some food from, but still you have your own area and it’s completely private! Will be returning!

“The hosts are on hand all the time.”

The tearoom provides excellent food 10am to 4pm. We had a hearty breakfast every day. It's a great spot for the views and for exploring the beaches and North York Moors.

Venture into the centre of the bustling seaside resort of Scarborough to find a host of amenities, pubs, bars and restaurants, if you feel like dining out during your stay.
