"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.

"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!!

"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.

"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!

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.

"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.

"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.

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.

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.

"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.
