Pond Farm Woodlands | Stunning Yorkshire Hot Tub Break

About Pond Farm Woodlands

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 dayâ€™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.

We have had a wonderful stay such a beautiful home with stunning views so peaceful just what we needed but not to far away to drive to some lovely places aswel it was a pleasure to stay for a week we will definitely return again soon couldn't fault anything the home and garden amazing

Anthony

Great place Just little pricey but if you can afford it you will love it ... Great place Just little pricey but if you can afford it you will love it Did leave the place for first 3 days as just so relaxing

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

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 doesnt turn on unfortunately so couldnt play any games. Couldnt 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 propertyeven 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.

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!

Benjamin Michael

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

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

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 didnt use the sauna, but the hot tub was great. Would highly recommend and would love to return soon. Thank you

Charles

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.

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.

Andrew

Fabulous, looking to book again!

Spotlessly clean. Lovely peaceful cottage. Well located to explore the coast Would definitely book again.

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.

Nicola

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

Stephen

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.

Rosalind

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

Jeanette

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.

Hannah

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.

Pamela

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.

Sharon

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.

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. Its 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

Nicola

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.

Warm cozy peaceful place to stay good food at local pub excellent spot to visit ... Warm cozy peaceful place to stay good food at local pub excellent spot to visit other places my wife and i would like to come back one day Nice touch the hamper milk bread wine ect Thank you

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

Sheryl

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 couldnt fault one thing. Highly recommended

Nicola

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.

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 rubbishrecycling procedure.

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 revisiting. Highly recommended. Thank You

Christopher

Fabulous relaxing stay, beautiful views and wonderful wildlife. If any advise was required nothing to much trouble for owners Izzy and Edwin Will be back as soon as we can. Thank you

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!

Gladys

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.

Kathleen

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.

Vanessa

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 !

Rachel

Another perfect stay , another perfect holiday. Im sure we will return again at some point . Thank you again

Michael

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 youre looking for somewhere to chill out with quick access to the seaside.

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.

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

Lovely weekend facilities were very good,location was great for a relaxing break,local bus available so no need to go out in car great if you want a drink out really enjoyed our stay.

Please note that some of these activities and days out are paid and it's always a good idea to book in advance to secure your place where applicable.

The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS

about 14 Miles

Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area. There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.

Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP

about 19 Miles

If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.

Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW

about 19 Miles

Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out. It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys. Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo. Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.

Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP

about 19 Miles

Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.

Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS

about 20 Miles

Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially. A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money. Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs. Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy.

Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ

about 20 Miles

This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery. You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water. The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too. Look out for special events including the Battle of Peasholm Park Naval Battle which has been described as a "must see". You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.

Castle Howard - YO60 7DA

about 25 Miles

Castle Howard is one of the regions most beautiful and historic landmarks and is located in 1,000 acres of parkland with breathtaking gardens to explore. As well as exploring the castle visitors can enjoy attractios including the unique Land Train - the best way to see the entire park. There is also a large lake offering boat trips during the summer months. In high season the site is very popular with families and offers organised activities for children including tours, talks, crafting and animal encounters. The site also has a Nature Trail which is fun for the whole family and an Adventure Playground where children can run off some energy.

Yorkshire Lavender - YO60 6PB

about 26 Miles

Yorkshire Lavender is an amazing award winning attraction offering breathtaking panoramic views of York, a Café, Plant Nursery and Lavender Gardens. The 60 acre site is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is an excellent choice for a day trip. The onsite shops sells Lavender products such as bath and body treats, skincare, medicine and herbal remedies.
