Guests say
Guests appreciate the peaceful location and wildlife at the cottage, highlighting its cleanliness and helpful staff. While some maintenance issues are noted, such as the pool and games room, the property's remote charm and potential for a comfortable stay are evident.
The property is generally described as clean, particularly the house itself. However, there are mentions of a dirty swimming pool which affects the score.
The location is praised for its peacefulness and proximity to nature, with walks right from the doorstep. The remote aspect is seen as a positive by some, though it may not suit everyone.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the property is considered comfortable by some, issues with worn sofas, a mattress needing replacement, and draftiness are concerns that affect the comfort level.
Facilities are a point of contention, with several maintenance issues reported such as heating problems, missing pool tiles, and damaged games equipment. The lack of a gym, despite previous statements, also impacts this score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Steeped in history these former barn buildings have been lovingly restored using all of the original materials. Presented to a very high standard and offering spacious accommodation, each holiday cottage has its own enclosed garden for sole use, to while away the hours overlooking stunning paddocks where deer and foxes play. Guests have free use of the owners’ private indoor heated swimming pool, a communal games room and a children’s play area. The complex is surrounded by open countryside and a newly planted broad leaf woodland area, and is only four miles from the pretty village of Brandesburton. 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. Visitors will find locally an 18-hole golf course, horse riding, clay pigeon shooting, a parachute and gliding centre, and an rspb bird sanctuary.
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. Explore British heritage when visiting stately homes and halls such as Burton Agnes Hall with its large collection of Monet and Renoir paintings, or Sledmere Hall with its beautiful gardens only a 30-minute drive away. The attractive market town of Beverley 12 miles away, where visitors can enjoy ancient cobbled streets, quaint shops and friendly local people, completes the area of peace and tranquility surrounding Struncheon Hill Farm. Shops, pub and restaurant 4 miles.

Lovely week staying at Struncheon Hill Farm. Lovely location with walks right from the doorstep, the dogs loved it.Well equipped cottage., comfortable for eight of us. Kitchen was well equipped although needs a measuring jug. Also really needs a new shower head in the downstairs shower, and a screen and wall mounted shower over the bath. The drains do smell, quite overpowering at times but we put up with this as the cottage was lovely.The pool is great, although nearly all of us injured our feet on the missing tiles. The site itself is lovely, allthough the pathways needed weeding desperately. No issues with WiFi, the tv is small and not a smart TV but we didn't even turn this on once so not an issue for us.Lovely week and we will return.
