  • "Lovely and well equipped property."

    Great welcome pack and also a doggie welcome pack. Fantastic dog exercise field, and also loved the little animals on the site... very cute. Fabulous hot tub, and decking, not overlooked. Great location for a walk, or car journey into villages or the beach. A great stay in a lovely property.

  • "A holiday lodge that delivered everything it promised."

    Such a relaxing place to stay with every amenity you would wish for. Toddler grandson loved all the animals and the play equipment too! Hot tub was so relaxing as was the countryside outlook. Scarborough , Dalby Forest and Cayton Playdale farm not far to drive and easy to park . Would definitely visit again.

  • "Great lodge, very clean and well equipped."

    We would have liked a cupboard in the kitchen to put our groceries in. We would have liked the shower and toilet upstairs to have had doors for privacy, also not enough drawers or wardrobe space.

    You have loads to do within an hrs drive, or sit in the hottub with music on and enjoy.. I’ll be looking to go around July time, if there’s a lodge available..

  • "This is our third visit to these lodges."

    They are well equipped it's like being home from home. The hot tub is brilliant and well maintained. The welcoming pack, robes and slippers are a great touch that makes you feel special when you arrive. Nicole and Scott are attentive to anything you need and happy to help. We always come away with a heavy heart that we have to return home.

  • "We booked Stags Mount specifically for the large enclosed grass area (for 2 dogs) accessed directly from the decking, as shown in the photos."

    This had been changed and the path removed, so we didn't have anywhere to allow the dogs to roam! The lodge was lovely, well maintained, but much smaller than the photos suggested - I should have realised the use of a wide angled lens!

  • "A fantastic week spent at Stags Mount with our family."

    The lodge was very clean, comfortable well thought out. The cakes and bottle of bubbly were nice touches on arrival. The location of the lodge is peaceful in beautiful surrounding areas to visit. Our children loved feeding the animals, the hot tub and sitting on the bench in the field nearly by watching the world go by. The hard work and dedication Scott and Nicole shines throughout with what they have achieved. We have had some lovely holiday in the UK and this one certainly leaves a special place in our hearts. Book it and enjoy!

  • "We wanted to find something special and memorable for our short break and that's exactly what we found with Stags Mount."

    The location is lovely, just a short distance from the beautiful Thornton Le Dale and Dalby Forest, the coast is also easily accessible. The accommodation is perfect, all comforts and amenities are so well considered, not just for us but for our puppy too who also felt right at home while enjoying his first holiday. The hosts are so friendly and thoughtful, they have a genuine desire to make their guest comfortable. We all look forward to making another booking here in the future.

    We stayed in Foxes Den last February so couldn’t wait to return. We have also booked Eagles Peak for Christmas. Scott and Nicole have done a fantastic job with these properties, such high spec and comfort, everything has been thought of and catered for. They have horses on site so are always around checking if everything is ok. We loved feeding the chickens and their eggs are the best website tasted. There is a pub at the bottom of the driveway and Thorton-Le-Dale and Pickering are a short drive or bus away. Whitby and Scarborough are a also good day trips. Highly recommended and can’t wait to return!

  • "This is a fantastic holiday cottage, you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door."

    Every detail has been catered for. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Clearly, a great deal of thought has gone into making a holiday at Stags Mount memorable. The hot tub was well maintained throughout our stay. This holiday home is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the local pub is just a short walk away. We had a great holiday and when we are next visiting Yorkshire we will be staying at Stags Mount again.

  • "From start to finish we got the wow factor."

    Pulling into the property we thought it was stunning then all the wee touches inside were truly heartwarming. Nicole and Scott have truly thought of everything and clearly put the work in. My pooch Petal gave this a 5 paw out of 5 rating with all the dog friendly touches including a wee bed, dog treats and a note of dog friendly places nearby. Anybody thinking of booking absolutely go for it and try the fresh eggs from the hideout hens who come and greet you at the fence when you go walking by. All in all our week at this beautiful property gave us the tranquility we needed, I'm already trying to plan our return again.

  • "Stayed here with my wife, son (4), son (5 months) and one dog…."

    This place is amazing! Provides all the comfort of a big hitting holiday park or hotel but is remote and small enough so your stay is very personable and private. The welcome pack and ‘rules of the house’ make you feel that you’re staying with family providing you with a make yourself at home vibe. The attention to detail is subtle but when you see it you can only but appreciate the work that has gone into these family built lodges. Fresh free range eggs everyday from the hens and Thornton le dale village a 5min drive away for any other bits you may need. Pickering is another 5-10min beyond that. Plenty of local farm shops as well if you truly want to buy and support local industry. Unless you’re aiming for a complete break from the outside world which these could truly give you then there is also plenty of things to do with you not requiring to drive for anymore than 40-60 min. The one and only point I do have but it truly makes no odds to me but might for future guests is, there was no electric BBQ but was on the listing as a feature. Unless there was one but I failed to see it then my bad. I will 100% be staying here again.
