Oaklands wedding venue is situated in the 150 acres of woodland that surround the properties. Struncheon Hill Farm is a haven for those who enjoy having fun around water with a river, lake and pond nearby. Fishing, canal cruises and a Jet Ski and Diving School are less than half a mile from the door.

Just a short drive leads to the traditional seaside resorts of Bridlington, Scarborough and Filey with miles of Blue Flag sandy beaches, colourful promenades, inns and tea rooms in abundance, offering the perfect family day out. Walking and cycling tracks surround the cottages and there is easy access to the Yorkshire Wolds - one of Yorkshire’s best-kept secrets. Robin Hoods Bay is well worth a visit, where children will love the chance to search for fossils amongst the rock pools. For stunning views, Flamborough Head is a must and visitors will delight in the puffin colonies that cling to the cliff side. For an alternative day trip, York will not disappoint and meandering along the cobbled streets of ‘The Shambles’, packed with curio and antique shops, as well as many museums including The National Railway Museum and Jorvik Viking Centre will keep both adults and children alike amused for hours.

We stayed on the same site 2 years ago & really enjoyed it which is why we booked again but we were really disappointed ☹️Lots of building work right outside our cottage which we were not told about before we got there. The site is really run down, no swimming pool now, games room looks tatty.We had a problem with the hot tub which was unusable due to being dirty, housekeeper came out next day after we contacted her & tried to clean it but it just got dirty again once jets were on.The actual cottage was clean but really run down eg. Curtains don’t shut properly due to hooks missing. Sofas were like sitting on floor as so old, The dog field is not secure as advertised, there is no gate to close, football net had more holes than net, over all not a great experience, we actually left a day early due to issues. & would not book again.

Had a wonderful break.Cottage was excellent. Everything you might need and lovely welcome pack.I personally was very nervous on the 3 mile drive on the single track road to get to cottages.Sat nav took us 10 mile out of our way.Not well signposted from village.Play area was fine but needed paths clearing of thistles.Whole family loved the cottage and outdoor space.Plenty to do nearby for all ages.Housekeeper was lovely. Dog walk was excellent.Never seen so many bunnies.Hot tub was a bonus.Thank you.
