    The hot tub, bbq and views were brilliant, the only slight downside is the over grown grass and nettles next to the hot tub which restricted the view

    Hi Mark, Thank you for your feedback, the nettles had been sprayed a a few days before your visit and we were just waiting to be able to be cut down. They are now all cut back. We hope to welcome you back soon. Many Thanks Stepney Stays Team Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay at the Shepherds hut, it felt really private and peaceful."

    The hot tub was incredible! Although not shown on the photos, the kitchen area is equipped with the essentials so there's no need to bring anything. I would say it could be useful to have a shelf or 2 to put food on but it's not the end of the world. We didn't meet the owners as they were away at the time, but everyone we did meet was super friendly. We will certainly be back!

    Staff were friendly & helpful throughout our stay. Onsite butchers is an absolute must enough facilities to cook meals throughout your stay in the hut.

  • "Absolutely fantastic stay, really enjoyed our time at the shepherd hut."

    Everything was clean upon arrival and we had more or less everything we needed. It was initially quite cold and the fire, whilst nice, didn't kick out a tonnes of heat. Once we discovered the little space heater, it made controlling the inside temperature much easier! The oven was a little bit difficult to use but we only used it once or twice in our four night stay. Accessing the site was super easy and the taxi service got us from the train station to the farm very easily. It was a lovely walk down into town, although a bit of a slog walking back, still very much enjoyed it! We were apprehensive of the outside bathroom but found it to be really good. The hot tub was absolutely gorgeous both in the day and in the evening.

    The first was on arrival we went to the tearoom for the keys and we couldn’t find anyone we shouted hello and had a walk around. Looked up the phone numbers that went to not available. After 50 mins of waiting we messaged the Facebook page then someone finally appeared. They showed us to our hut but couldn’t show us anything as they said he dosent so that part and we figured the rest out for ourself. We did get a text of the owner later on apologising but for first impressions wasn’t brill. Apart from that the hut was lovely and more spacious than expected and the views from the hot tub were brilliant.

    What a treat to stay on a beautiful family run farm and you have the luxury of a gorgeous view of the countryside. The hot tub is a huge selling point, it’s nice and private behind the shepherds hut and has the most serene view. They really have thought of everything and you can ask for anything should you require it. We took advantage of the on-site butchers and tea rooms, both very impressive, the produce was delicious! We can’t wait to come back already!

This working farm is surrounded by fields of grazing sheep, as well as an award-winning butcher's and a wedding function room, and on a clear night, you can enjoy an amazing stargazing experience. Venture into the centre of the bustling seaside resort of Scarborough to find a host of amenities, pubs, bars and restaurants, if you feel like dining out during your stay. There are two fantastic sandy beaches to choose from, separated by the imposing medieval Scarborough Castle, which rests in the headland and overlooks the sea, while the Japanese-inspired Peasholm Park provides a stunning backdrop for an afternoon stroll and if you're looking for adventure, spend a day at the water park of Alpamare UK. Explore the area via train by boarding the North Bay Heritage Railway or on foot by joining the Cleveland Way, which you can follow in either direction along the coast. Head north into the North York Moors National Park for more excellent walking and cycling trails, as well as the popular seaside resort of Whitby, while south takes you to Filey and the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast, home to the RSPB Bempton Cliffs Seabird Centre and excellent for wildlife lovers. Stepney Hill Farm is a cosy base to return to after a day exploring the North Yorkshire coast.
