“The lodge is set in an amazing location, in what must be at least an acre of land.”

Very quite with no one around, great for the dogs and kids to explore safely. The decking could do with a spruce up, but the lodge it's self is immaculate inside and has great space for everyone. Hot tub is fantastic, bigger than the one shown on the photos, our 7 year old thought she had a private pool

- Paul, August 2024
Sarah June 2024

“It a beautiful lodge and gorgeous area highly recommend.”

So peaceful and so much wildlife, hot tub was lovely and warm. Lodge was clean and tidy and received a nice welcome pack with all your essentials to get you started which is a nice touch. Whitby is a 15 mins drive away so perfect for visiting. Xbox in front room doesn’t turn on unfortunately so couldn’t play any games. Couldn’t access Netflix as needed owner to verify by email. Definitely would stay again as loved it , thank you

“Inside lodge was very clean and comfortable.”

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.

“Amazingly beautiful property-even better than the pictures.”

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

- Elise, April 2024
Clare April 2024

“We had a lovely week long stay at the cabin.”

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!

- Clare, April 2024
Benjamin Michael March 2024

“We booked a last minute 3 night stay with two kids and two dogs.”

The accommodation is hidden away in the woods with lots of space for the kids and dogs to play. The lodge was clean, tidy with lots of facilities. Whitby was just a 10 minute drive down the road so lots to do nearby. The host made contact prior to arrival and made sure we had all the information we needed. We would definitely stay again and recommend! 5*

Dale November 2023

“Thank you for a lovely few days in your wonderful accomodation.”

Very peaceful and private, just what we were after. Really enjoyed the hot tub! I'm sure we will return. Thanks, Dale & Ali

Michelle November 2023

“Before we arrived, we received a very informative text from the owner Izzy, this included contact numbers and information on how to access the property.”

This is a fantasticspacious lodge that has a lovely homely feel as soon as you walk through the door. This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the fresh loaf, eggs, milk and variety of jams were a lovely touch. The place was immaculate when we arrived. We loved the outdoor space (very fog friendly) and found an area with lots of books, games and even some treats for the dogs. There was an honesty box which we were absolutely happy to contribute to! We didn’t use the sauna, but the hot tub was great. Would highly recommend and would love to return soon. Thank you

- Michelle, November 2023
Charles October 2023

“The cottage was located in a quiet and secluded wooded location and provided for all our needs, We would like to thank the owners for providing the extras which were very welcome and most unexpected.”

The cottage was ideally situated for us to visit the locations we wished to visit. We would revisit the cottage for a further holiday and recommend it to anybody who wished for a quiet relaxing place to stay.

- Charles, October 2023
Keith September 2023

“Holiday accommodation was very clean, comfortable and well equipped.”

Lovely living room with views of the woodland garden. The dogs really enjoyed all the outdoor space. Great to have bathrobes provided for use of the hot tub and sauna. Many places to visit on this beautiful coast within very easy reach. Thank you.

Martin September 2023

“A fantastic quiet woodland location for this cabin, it was a joy to see a deer wander past and rabbits amongst the trees.”

The cabin has a spacious well equipped kitchen and living room area and the bedrooms, though small, are comfortable. The outside patios with hot tub and sauna are an added extra to be enjoyed. Ugthorpe is a great place to stay, a lovely local pub within walking distance and a base to visit many lovely places.

- Martin, September 2023
Nicola August 2023

“Lovely holiday.”

Our dog absolutely loved it! Hot tube is clean and spacious. Beds very comfortable. Beautiful location. Owners very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

- Nicola, August 2023
Stephen August 2023

“We had a great time.”

The cabin is brilliant and very comfortable.....everything perfect. Everyone agreed that this was one of the best self catering holidays we have had. The location and outlook is wonderful, very secluded in its own woodland, albeit in a great location for visiting interesting places.

- Stephen, August 2023
Rosalind July 2023

“What a lovely setting, very impressed!”

Beautifully set with trees all around. The property was nice and clean, with everything we needed. The welcome goodies were a lovely surprise and very much appreciated, the owner also contacted us to say we could go in earlier which was a real help, thank you. Shame about the weather

- Rosalind, July 2023
Jeanette June 2023

“Brilliant property comfortable everything was done to a high standard.”

Could not have asked for anything better . I would have no hesitation in recommending this property and everything it contained. Credit to the owners. Thank you.

- Jeanette, June 2023
Hannah May 2023

“We had a fantastic break at Pond Farm Woodlands.”

The hot tub and sauna was amazing, the surrounding woodland was so beautiful, our dog loved exploring it. There were even leads attached to the trees incase your dog likes to bolt (cattle in the next field and lots of wildlife). We loved the little touches that made it a very special trip, the little tray of jams and tiger loaf, wine and prosecco left on the beautifully decorated table, fridge stocked with milk, eggs and butter and the soaps and body wash in the bathroom, So thoughtful. Izzy was very accomodating aswell, she understand that my dog needed space due to his reactivity and organised to check the hot tub around us which was really appreciated. We absolutly loved our stay and would highly reccomend. We will be booking again in the future.

- Hannah, May 2023
Pamela March 2023

“This is a charming cozy cabin in a fantastic rural location secluded and secure in its own grounds.”

Modern and extremely well equipped. Izzy and Edwin readily accessible and quickly dealt with any problems of which there were few. The hot tub and sauna very welcome additions especially after long days in the hills. We plan to come back as soon as possible.

- Pamela, March 2023
Sharon March 2023

“Such a lovely setting, and we were lucky enough to get snow which made the scene even more magical.”

Owners were very helpful and responsive.

- Sharon, March 2023
Tracy February 2023

“We absolutely love this lodge, we have been several times and will definitely go again.”

The location of it is suburb, set in a woodland behind electric gates and away from the road it is so peaceful and quiet, our dog loves a roam round the woodland there and then a walk on the moors later in the day. She happily sleeps in front of the log burner while I soak away the days aches in the hot tub. The kitchen / diner is very spacious and with a large table the whole party can play board games or cards, we take our own but there are a variety of games in the out house. It’s clear to see how much pride the owners take on this lodge and they are very approachable if you need to speak with them about anything at all. Thank you for another fantastic stay… hope to come back soon

- Tracy, February 2023
Nicola February 2023

“This is a lovely property, very quiet, and well appointed.”

However, some of the pictures are clearly quite old and slightly inaccurate now. Just some small points of note - washing machine is very dirty, I had to clean it before use - if you take the drawer out you will see the dirt. No starter fuel pack as advertised, only fuel to purchase. Decking is a little tired & needs a clean, and no furniture to sit on at the back, the bird feeders have seen better days too! No utensils available to clean out the fire in living room or in sauna. They were both full of old ash when we arrived.

- Nicola, February 2023

ThankYou for the for the comments . The washing machine isn’t very dirty and is quite an insulting and dramatic response , if it was a problem we should have been contacted . The decking does get slippy during winter and is always cleaned at Easter but unfortunately in winter and being in a woodland area this is something that is quite hard to prevent . The decking at the back of the property is north facing hence why we don’t have any seating . (Even in summer it’s cold) . The view makes it inviting but believe me it’s always chilly . We have seating on the south side and an outside sitting area that is sheltered in the outbuilding. We feel this is more than adequate . The fire in the living room is a wood burning stove and relies on an ash bed and doesn’t have a grate. this does not require any utensils, the instructions point this out quite clearly . You drew my attention to the listing about a starter pack and it is really quite unclear and the description Sykes have put doesn’t really make sense , we however provide logs you can purchase or you were welcome to buy your own and re stock our supply . But again I wasn’t asked about this while you stayed with us . The sauna is cleaned this again wasn’t full of ash as I cleaned it out between guests this has a draw that pulls out so again no shovel needed. The sauna does have a small poker that is hanging on a hook next to the fire in the sauna . Re the pictures we have fitted a new kitchen since the pictures were taken , and had new furniture in the bedroom. two years later we are still waiting on Sykes to come and take up to date pictures. (Maybe due to covid) we never anticipate it been a problem as they were all new furnishings and of a better quality and more up to date . Customer feedback is always valid and appreciated but it seems you were unhappy with our property. If we knew you were unhappy we have refunded you and you could have taken your holiday elsewhere . We always work with our guests, and are always a phone call away . Issues do occur but nothing was brought to out attention when you stayed with us . Property Owner

- Martin, September 2022
Tracy September 2022

“We love this holiday home.”

It is so peaceful and quiet yet close enough if you wish to drive and visit Whitby or the surrounding areas. The birds and wildlife you can see from the floor to ceiling windows was wonderful, as well as being able to spot them from the sauna or hot tub in the garden. The beds were extremely comfortable and the whole place spotlessly clean. You can tell the owners take great pride in this lodge and it clear to see why, they are also extremely helpful and pleasant if you need them for anything. We will most definitely return to this gem of a place

- Tracy, September 2022
Sheryl August 2022

“Absolutely fantastic holiday home in a beautiful setting.”

Completely private and peaceful. Everything you need with a welcoming hamper. Sauna and hot tub brilliant. Every little detail has been thought about couldn’t fault one thing. Highly recommended

- Sheryl, August 2022
Nicola June 2022

“This property is set in an idyllic setting, set back from the road and completely private.”

Had everything we wanted to make such a perfect stay, the hot tub was just what we needed at the end of each day. Runswick Bay is an amazing beach which is dog friendly, our pooch had the best time.

- Nicola, June 2022
Karen May 2022

“A fantastic base for exploring North Yorkshire.”

Private well equipped log cabin, set in 4 acres of countryside, helpful owners, who had made it feel home from home. More info required in the log cabin, on location of central heating thermostat, operation of heaters in the outhouse, and rubbish/recycling procedure.

- Karen, May 2022
Gail May 2022

“Such a lovely lovely idyllic place to stay set in its very own large very personal private grounds, Doggies loved it too.”

We were even lucky enough to glimpse a Deer on our stay! The most peaceful place we have had the pleasure of staying with everything that you need. The Jacuzzi was so relaxing at the end of the day too ! The owners have done everything to make the place extremely comfortable. Will obviously be re-visiting. Highly recommended. Thank You ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- Gail, May 2022
Christopher April 2022

“The property is in a beautiful setting which is very private.”

The house had everything you need and it was great to be able to use the hot tub and sauna. The hosts were brilliant and we had a lovely stay. Thank you!

- Naomi, March 2022
Gladys March 2022

“Wonderful house and location in it's own grounds so very private and secluded but close enough to lots of little towns and villages with community shops and great pubs and restaurants.”

Spotlessly clean and welcoming with great hot tub and sauna, had a really relaxing week , would highly recommend.

- Gladys, March 2022
Kathleen February 2022

“What a great start.”

Arrived to some lovely music playing and a log burning scene on the TV. Nice and warm and spotlessly clean. Everything you need has been thought of, owners obviously take a pride in the property and want guests to have a great time. Loved the huge hot tub which again kept spotless. Would definitely return in future. Suggest a guest book in property so feedback can be left.

- Kathleen, February 2022
Vanessa January 2022

“Brilliant place definitely would like to visit again.”

Instructions for everything quite clear and concise but no instructions for sauna and we were not sure exactly how to use it , we should have googled it !

- Vanessa, January 2022
Rachel December 2021

“Another perfect stay , another perfect holiday.”

I’m sure we will return again at some point . Thank you again

Michael December 2021

“We had a wonderful stay at Pond Farm.”

We visited at Christmas time and there were lovely decorations up throughout. The welcome pack was lovely and a nice treat upon arrival. The lounge is a great size with a huge TV. Unfortunately the local tv mast was down when we stayed but the owners ensured we had access to all the main streaming services so being able to use those was brilliant. The cottage was clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable with plenty of extra pillows if needed. The “outside lounge” as my kids called it was fantastic for sitting it and enjoying a nice drink in the evening with great heaters taking the chill off. There was a fantastic selection of games, books, DVDs for adults and kids with an Xbox available as well. The grounds are great for dogs with a doggy shower in the out house along with dog shampoo and towels. There ideas a big gate protecting the property with plenty of parking. I would highly recommend Pond Farm if you’re looking for somewhere to chill out with quick access to the seaside.

- Michael, December 2021
Debra November 2021

“A very enjoyable stay for my husbands 60th birthday .”

The lodge is wet comfortable,clean & excellent for family to get together & chill out in beautiful woodland surroundings. The privacy is a bonus when using the hot tub & sauna which were very relaxing. Also the welcome pack was excellent . We would definitely recommend & return.

- Debra, November 2021
Lee November 2021

“Thank you Izzy for welcoming us into your absolutely stunning cabin.”

We had a lovely stay and will be sure to book again. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the cabin was well equipped. If we could offer some constructive criticism and I must stree these aren't complaints: We would have liked hooks by the hot tub and in the sauna for gowns. We would prefer real logs, sticks etc but understand why you use the instant lights for guests. We couldn't find a lighter but luckily I found one in my glove compartment. We also couldn't find a pen to fill in your forms. Thank you again for a wonderful short break. Lee, Sophie & Ariya the Collie

- Lee, November 2021

- Ivan, September 2021
Janet September 2021

“Brilliant holiday home in its own grounds, ideally located to visit North Yorkshire coastline and Moors.”

Great welcome pack when you arrive. Would highly recommend Pond Farm, for comfort, location, hot tub, there is a sauna but didn’t use it and a great undercover outdoor seating area and bbq - excellent value for money

- Janet, September 2021
Joanne August 2021

“Lovely lodge, very clean, great location, would hope to go back one day.”

Jayne July 2021

“An amazing cottage with everything you could need for a long weekend or a fortnight's stay!”

!! Every detail is catered for from the robes and slippers, welcome hamper, games and DVDs, hot tub and sauna. Could not find fault with any part of the facilities at this amazing holiday home. I will definitely recommend this cabin to all my friends and family for a romantic getaway to a family holiday, it ticks every box!

- Jayne, July 2021
Amanda June 2021

The accommodation is lovely, so clean , comfortable with beautiful surroundings. Attention to detail is fabulous. Quality finish, fresh flowers and lovely hamper , excellent location. I cannot recommend it enough. Izzy and Edwin are lovely, they are there for any questions whilst respecting your privacy. The dogs had space and the location is perfect. We will be going back next year as we loved it so much .

Kevin October 2020

“The lodge was so clean on arrival.”

Heating on and radio on waiting for us. Our hosts had thought of literally everything that we would need and no detail however small was missed. Made full use of the hot tub and sauna and had an amazing, chilled week. Every detail really has been thought of to ensure maximum relaxation. Thank you Izzy and Edwin!

- Kevin, October 2020
Pauline October 2020

“Pond farm, was absolutely beautiful, so clean and the welcome pack was all done so covid friendly.”

The views from the lodge were amazing, the weather wasn't great on the week we went, so the view's made all the difference.

- Pauline, October 2020
Debbie September 2020

“What a gem of a place.”

Very warm welcome (literally as the fire was lit) a very nice touch. Very clean and comfortable and hot tub was fantastic. Owners clearly take pleasure in ensuring not only that you have a comfortable stay,but that you will return. Which we will!

- Debbie, September 2020
Maureen September 2020

“A very peaceful place to stay amid all the madness of the year so far.”

A very nice welcome pack and a little deer as a keepsake of our holiday. We saw deer, rabbits and a multitude of birds including a Barn Owl across the field and a couple of Nuthatches on the bird feeders once we had filled them up. We had stunning weather so no need to use the heating. Since being back at work it turns out one of my customers stayed in December for their 50th birthday, it's a small world.

- Maureen, September 2020
Jenene September 2020

“A wonderful holiday lodge for a special birthday celebration with the family.”

The lodge is situated in beautiful surroundings. A lovely welcome pack was awaiting us on our arrival. There were one one or two small points to note. We asked for a high chair for the baby but had to go and find it in the store cupboard and we were unable to use more than one drawer in the freezer due to a lot of ice. All of the family thoroughly enjoyed their holiday, making good use of the hot tub which was well maintained by the owner.

- Jenene, September 2020
Ian July 2020

“All we can say is Wow no words can describe how fabulous pond farm cottage is.”

The owners couldn't do enough for you & have literally thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Welcome hamper on arrival is fantastic. Would 110% recommend to others to book. This is by far the best cottage we have stayed in.

- Ian, July 2020
Colin July 2020

“We stayed here in July 2020 with our two boys aged 11 and 7.”

Lovely cottage, plenty of space in the garden for kids to explore and play ball games. Well equipped cottage, hot tub and sauna were amazing too and made our trip. It is situated within woodland which we loved as we like spotting birds and wildlife and even had a woodpecker visit the bird table ! It’s close to local pub which you could walk to in 15 mins easily. Without trying to be picky there is a stagnant pond to the rear of the cottage that is at the bottom of a slope next to the woodland. Other than being an unpleasant spot for the football to roll into I assume it’s assisting with the midge population too ! Not sure what purpose it serves really, However you can’t see it or smell it from the cottage and it will not put us off returning as we are intending to do next year. The owners are really friendly and were great helping us with local amenities while we were there, even provided some bikes for us to use ! Overall a great place to stay and we would fully recommend it

- Colin, July 2020

Jill May 2019

“This is one of the most beautiful places we have stayed at - stunning inside and out!”

The facilities are perfect for a relaxing get away, and there was enough space for our dog to safely run around in the grounds. The outside area with dining and BBQ is great, we used this whenever we could when the weather was nice enough! The hot tub was lovely, in a sheltered area, so we used this all the time. We visited the local pubs (walking distance) for food too, this was a nice treat. A beautiful place with lovely surroundings, we cannot wait to go back.

- Jill, May 2019
Barbara April 2019

“What an amazing place.”

The photos and description did not do the place justice. The grounds were wonderful, the views even better and we even saw deer in the garden. The lodge had everything you could need or want in a home let alone holiday accommodation. The hot tub was lovely after a day exploring the moors! We will be returning as it was wonderful. Not 5 * but 10 *!!

- Barbara, April 2019

- Paula, November 2018
Sarah-jane October 2018

“Wow, beautiful property providing seclusion in order to relax yet at the same time close to amenities - the best of both world's!”

So much to do walks, sight seeing and shopping. We found 1 week left us with a taste of what is available, and loved it so much we were sad to go. We will be returning without a doubt as every moment was amazing.

- Sarah-jane, October 2018
Elizabeth October 2018

“This was a delightful cottage, spacious and secluded.”

Lots of effort put into the extras such as food hamper and milk for arrival, fresh flowers and dressing gowns for use with hot tub.

- Elizabeth, October 2018
Kathryn September 2018

“Pond Farm Lodge was enjoyed by a family of 6 adults and there was plenty of space for everyone.”

The setting is secluded and beautiful but close enough to Whitby, and the surrounding areas for days out and sight seeing. The fixtures and fittings are luxurious and expensive. We all had a wonderful time.

- Kathryn, September 2018
Jacqueline September 2018

“Definitely exceeded my expectations, what a place!”

Amazing long weekend break it even came with 4 acres of land! Spacious beautiful view on every side. Can't wait to go back.

“We have been using holiday homes for the past 15 years and Ponds Farm Woodlands is the icing on the cake so to speak.”

Set in a tranquil woodland setting, with outstanding views, so beautiful and peaceful. The welcome pack is the best we have had, unbelievable is all we could say. To say you could take your dogs, we did not find any dog hairs or doggy smells, the whole place was immaculately clean. The beds were very comfortable, and the hot tub was amazing. And to top it off at night the trees were lit up with laser lights, brilliant. We will defiantly be back. Well done to Izzy & Ed.

The 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.
