Lady Bird Retreat, Yorkshire

The Ladybird retreat was cosy, comfortable and had a great view of the sea. Short walk to the beach, bus service to Saltburn. I absolutely loved spending time there and would return in a flash.

Everything was absolutely perfect. however the mattress for us wasnt comfortable and we didnt really get much sleep

Very nice place to stay, lots of walks, 10 minutes from site to beach. The owner was very approachable and helpful.The pubrestaurant is very good and nice staff.We went to the nearby mining museum and found it very interesting.Great views from the accommodation and the hot tub was most welcome.There are shops a short drive from site Asda,B&M etc.

We have stayed in a lot of shepherds huts some being much more luxurious than this one, however we found it very cosy and in a pleasant location. The hot tub was brilliant and the shower was great too . There were lots of cleaning products available but it would have been nice to have an extra toilet roll and some tea coffee and milk provided. We really enjoyed our stay and would return hopefully on a sunny weekend. Thanks

We have stayed in a shepherds hut before but this was so much bigger than that one, the bed was huge and comfy, good use of space saving in the kitchen area. Plenty of space in the living area with the two chairs for watching the tv or in bed if you wanted! The shower was excellent and you had everything you could need, although a microwave would have been handy but would take up more space I guess. Outside space was great and very private, and now we want to get a hot tub at home! It was lovely to sit with a drink in the hot tub, even on the most miserable of days

Our Lady Bird Retreat review: A great quirky place to stay for a few days, especially good for Saltburn by the sea, needs some TLC, but overall a good break.

What an amazing holiday we had riding around the moors then coming back to a lovely shepperds cabin with a jacuzzi and log burner. Great place to stay and it was a lovely setting with a beautiful view.thanks sykes.

The Lady Bird Retreat is a gorgeous, cosy, and peaceful place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and didn't want to leave! The only critique we had for the place is that underneath the bed had not been cleaned, and there were wrappers and rose petals under our mattress. Other than that, it was perfect!

Hi after reviewing the property and the pictures the place looked set to be amazing me and my partner have around 8 weekends a year alone in similar style places in different locations around the country with different agency's. As far as sykes go I had no issue but can't help feeling really deflated about the experience. Before arrival to the property I spoke to the owner and he sent me a generic text regarding the proper and what was needed. Bedding and towels provided a starter pack for the log burner and also details about the hot tub. On arrival to the property I was a little took back at the amount of rubbish and old empty cardboard boxes left around the place and general untidiness of the place it also didn't show very well on the pictures justbhow close all the other huts where to lady bird. We arrived around 4 after a long 3 hour drive the plan was to have some food and then have an hour in the hot tub as it was our first time booking somewhere with one. Unfortunately the text also stated the hot tub was unusable untill 8 p.m as it had to warm up to the correct temperature. Not abusive issue as the weather wasn't amazing so we could stay in the place have the fore on and keep warm in there. Unfortunately we went to start the fore only ro find that the starter pack consisted of a handful of kindling half a block.of fure lighters and around 3 or 4 lumps of softwood timber. As we have a log burner at home we know pretty well how long that would last and at best I'd have said an hour so after the long drive we had to head straight back out again to the local bnm to find kindling and logs to see us through the weekend. Before we left my partner had noticed the bedding wasn't the cleanest and it looked like stairs on the pillow cases so she wanted to buy some pillow covers. Also the towels provided were literally a hand towel each and a small bath towel. As the place had no heating othwr than the log burner and a small towel rail big enough to dry one towel at a time we felt the need to buy 2 extra towels for the hot tub as the the 2 provided wouldn't be dry enough to use after showering. Anyway we headed back to the site unloaded the logs set the fire only to find there was no means of lighting it no matches no lighters nothing. As im sure you can imagine by now it's around 6 o'clock dark wet and miserable we hadn't eaten or infact had a drink still at this point and had to go out again to get something to light the fire. It really set the mood for that evening with me if I'm honest as it was a surprise weekend for my partners 40th I picked it and feel I paid a fairly large amount of money for the weekend in comparison to a lot of other places but as it had a hot tub I expected this. So I was adamant on getting In the hot tub even though the weather wasn't great only to find out there was absolutely no outside lighting what so ever to even be able to get in it other than 2 sensor lights that kept going out constantly so the first night was a total write off. And other than having half an hour in it on the Saturday that was it we couldn't go in it after dark as we had things planned in the day time we couldn't go in it. Inhad noticed the 2 other plots round us with hot tubs did have adequate lighting so it could be used. The shower qas pretty good I can say really good hot water and pressure although the seal.on the door was damaged and leaked water onto the floor with no floor towel so had to use the hand towels for that too the decorating was good and clean but the bedding wasn't good at all and the mattress on the sides were dirty I didn't want to look any further. I feel for the money it really was great at all and I also feel the photos of the place were very well taken to make it look like it had a decent view it didn't really show how close the houses where to us and the fact that it was pretty much an eyesaw. I hadn't realised untill coming home i was informed by a friend Skinningrove happened to have been on t.v a few years back as one of Britain's toughest villages and I saw the video on you tube it really did sum up the area. Just to add maybe a few tea bags some coffee sachets and some milk wouldnt hurt for people on arrival and a few more logs and the means to light the fire also get the hot tub powered up esrly as your paying for that it should be available for use from arrival not 5 hours after also lighting needs to be up so its usable. In the last 2 years we have stayed in around 16 different locations and never have i had to leave a negative review in anyway or had the experience that we did this weekend.

Lovely little place with a hot tub, perfect for walks to saltburn and staithes
