Covey Reviews

What a lovely campsite. It has everything we needed. Kept very clean. Lovely and peaceful. The owners are close by and easy to contact if any issues, lovely people who check in each day. Plenty of open space for the kids to run. We stayed for 5 nights with our sons and dog, it was ideal for us as a family. Great value for money, the bonus of the hot tub was lovely. Games room which had activities available. Easy to drive out to access nearby villages and towns. Plenty of places to walk too. We will definitely be returning and will recommend to our friends and family. Thank you for a lovely stay
Natalie
Lovely little glamping pods. We stayed here for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. We actually wanted to stay longer but they were booked over the bank holiday weekend. Beautiful grounds, very peaceful and relaxing. Lots of wildlife. We loved spending time outside around the fire pit, wood provided which was a perfect touch. The pod itself had everything you needed, beautifully made. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for our stay
Was absolutley amazing few days away as a family. Just what we needed. The pod was well facilitated and cozy. The hot tub went down a treat. Would reccommend and we will ne back.
Absolutely loved loved loved this we had a great relaxing time and was great for our little dog. The only thing I would add but this is not a negative is that Id say take your own pillow as I struggled sleeping but that was just down to my own comfort as the pillows provided were adequate as my husband found them fine. Great little place and they really did provided everything that we needed. We will defo be returning.
Lovely holiday. Superb log cabin and location. Only 6 x cabins in this location is perfect. Beautiful fields at the location to walk the dog. Very enjoyable!! Thank you!!! Jon, Steph, the boys and Cole.
Stephen
Absolutely loved the tranquillity of the pods . Could of done with a retractable clothes line for the drying of the towels and hot tub costumes , and just some hooks for a tea towel or towel but that's it . Great owners nothing to much trouble . Fire out wood topped up everyday for the nights toasting of marshmallows 1010 . Loved it
Amanda
Really enjoyed my stay, the pod is very cosy with everything you need. Loved how quiet and peaceful the site is.
Jacqueline
Fantastic pod, hot tub and setting. Will definitely be back.
Wonderful place to visit if you want a nice relaxing, tranquil environment. Beautiful scenery, nice & quiet and a great base if you want to visit nearby coastal resorts. If you want to just sit & chill or have a dip in the hot job its ideal. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & got really lucky with the hottest week of the year. Will definitely be visiting again.
Lauren
Lovely place to stay! Will recommend to family and friends and will return!
Courtney

The accommodation was fantastic and in an amazing location. The hot tub was really good and warm. The pod had everything you needed and was very comfortable. The owners are really kind and genuine people, who truly care about their guests and will go above and beyond for you. This place is truly worth the money and is a must stay. Will definitely be back!
This was a lovely hut with plenty of space and nice a warm hot tub was brill and on site owner was lovely to speak to
Gareth
Amazing from start to finish the owners were amazing and so welcoming. The site was absolutely beautiful and extremely well set up and we would love to return. The price was also extremely reasonable and was well worth the visit.
Covey is a well situated unit on a lovely farm. The owners are on hand should there be any Problems, of which we had non. The only thing we would suggest is that you take fold up chairs for sitting outside. Will definitely go back as we still have lots more to explore, its easy to access Bridlington, Scarborough and York.
Matthew
Fantastic setup nice and quiet and the hosts are so friendly and helpfull
We had a lovely family weekend break with the kids and the dog. Really well equipped and very clean. Lovely grass field for the kids to run around on. Nice and secure. Great campfire to toast marshmallows. The kids have asked when we can go again. They loved it.
Christine
This place was quiet and peaceful, just what we wanted. My husband found a fishing lake close by, to which he was happy with. And I enjoyed the walking, with my dog. We had some sun and quite a bit of rain too. But that didnt stop us from enjoying the holiday.
Fantastic few days spent here. Everything provided for you. Beautifully presented, lrg shower, heating if needed. Beautiful sunsets to watch from the pod or outdoor seating. The lovely owners are on hand if needed & couldn't be more helpful. Would highly recommend.
Perfect peaceful break for myself and my wife in first class accommodation. Hosts very friendly and helpful, recommend the area to those that appreciate the countryside.
Our stay at Covey was first class in every respect. The accommodation was comfortable and included everything you could possibly need. Thank you Rachel and Jim for being wonderful hosts x
