Peep o' Day Reviews

Joanne

We had a lovely time at Peep oday. It was the quiet and peaceful break we needed. The accommodation was very comfortable with everything we needed. The hot tub was a fabulous addition to the property and an enjoyable way to relax after a day out. The location is ideal to explore hills, forests and beaches. We would love to return and would wholly recommend staying there.

Lovely lodge, amazingly clean and tidy with plenty to do in surrounding area. Had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend

Absolutely stunning property. Our 3rd visit to the site . We will return and return. Stella and Shaun 2 lovely people only a phone call away if you need them . They make sure The property is perfect when you arrive . Well done Stella and Shaun the propertys are a credit to you .

Our holiday at Peep o Day was very enjoyable. Stella & Shaun were exceptional hosts. The chalet was very comfortable, well maintained & catered for all our needs. The hot tub was pure bliss after an enjoyable day exploring the many attractions that North Yorkshire has to offer. Waking in the morning to the sight of a young Fawn foraging up close to the chalet and also to be in the hot tub watching a Barn Owl flying along overhead was the icing on the cake. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay at Peep o Day. Ian & Lesley B Devon

Elizabeth

Stella and Shaun were so friendly and helpful and perfect hosts.

Superb, comfy and well equipped Lodge. Hosts Stella and Shaun, very friendly and helpful, great communications, with recommendations within the local area to visit, eat at and farm shops purchase from. Had a fantastic week in May 2024. We are already planning our return in 2025.

We got what we expected perfection. This was our second visit and there will be more its absolutely stunning. Stella and Shaun are two lovely people.the site is a credit to you both. Its peaceful quiet and the site and cabins are immaculate in every way .

Claire

Owner lovely and kept in touch to see if we needed everything. Plenty of fire wood left for hot tub and burner. Lovely facilities, the shower was amazing and bed was comfy.

Had to change cabin last minute to rising sun identical to peep o day . All I can say its first class . Cabin was immaculate and clean . The whole experience was 5 star. Hot tub was amazing. Stella the owner was superb . We stayed 4 nights but planning some weekends to go back . Highly recommend

Amanda

Lovely peaceful private location, clean, everything we needed for a relaxing 3 nights

The lodge is very well placed for Pickering, Kirbymooreside & Helmsley. It is very comfortable, peaceful & private, although we found it very hot at night with a 10.5 Tog duvet, and that was with cooler weather. The wood fired hot tub was great, even in the rain. Access is just off the A170, but you have to be carefull exiting as it is just off a bend. We do hope to return next June

Andrew

This is such a magical little cabin, perfect for a couple. The wood fired jacuzzi was a real treat after long days out exploring the East Yorkshire moors. The covered deck for breakfast, lovely light open plan living , dining, kitchen, en suite bedroom. Perfectly placed between Helmsley , Pickering and the coast of Whitby, Rodin Hood Bay etc. Stella was so helpful in every way. We loved our stay there. Highly recommend. Andrew

Claire

We had a lovely stay in this cosy and comfy little cabin. The place was lovely and private yet very easily accessible. The facilities were superb, the fixtures and fittings of a very high standard and the property was immaculately clean. The hosts were on hand and extremely helpful. We would highly recommend. Thank you for enabling us to have such a lovely mini break!

We had a very enjoyable week at Peep o day, situated in a walled meadow with one other property, but due to the positioning you still had privacy. The property is very comfortable and perfect for two people. We could not fault anything,from the comfortable bed,to the lovely walk in shower.You have plenty of choice for shopping close by, plus North Yorks moors and the Vale of Pickering for countryside and walking. Joan.

Was more than happy with peep o day the property was spotless and had everything we needed and more. Was in an excellent area for getting out and about.The hot tub was an extra bonus after being out all day will definitely return
