Mischief Reviews

Tracey
A fabulous place to stay, quiet, scenic and perfect for that battery reset we all need. Close to many sea side resorts ans some lovely walks nearby. Would highly recommend
We stayed at little kelk glamping as family of four 2 adults and 2 children, we also had our additional family member our little cocker spaniel DOG First impression on arrival where amazing the glamping pod mischief was such nice layout with plenty seating area outside with the firepit to enjoy outdoor cooking as we love to cook outside. The play field with football nets was amazing nice and clean for the kids to play outside, also games room is nice additional with plenty of games to enjoy inside and outside to play on the field. The site felt very secured with electric gates entry and exit, with wonderful view across the back field we was lucky enough to watch the combine harvester carrying out the harvest that kids really enjoyed watching. The hot tub was nice and clean and very relaxing. We really enjoyed was kept clean and empty and refilled during our stay. The owner was lovely and very polite very accommodating always checked in daily to make sure everything was okay. The surrounding area was very nice was very easy to take trips out to the coast with short distance drive, glamping site site is very enjoyable for everyone we will definitely be staying again very soon.
This was our first time glamping and we picked well, The pod had everything we needed and was situated perfectly for dog walking and sightseeing. The hot tub was amazing perfect for relaxing after a day out. We would definitely recommend little Kelk Glamping.
Elizabeth
The place was lovely and above expectations. Everything was clean and had everything we needed.
We stay here with our pet and on the first day of staying there there was a fire at the main waste bin which we had to put out which resulted in us not being able to properly dispose of the waste and everything we had and there was no hover or anything to properly clean up so when we left there was still some hair that couldnt be cleaned up after we went through everything and checked we hadnt damaged anything and everything else was clean and fine to the be told we had damaged stuff and not wasted stuff properly because of the bin on fire so they tried to make us pay which we are not doing because this is there mistake and on them.
Andrew
Fantastic little get away just what we needed. Nice and peaceful and all enclosed so perfect for our dog too. Thank you Andy, Kelly & Sapphire
An absolute gem of a glamping pod. The pod was bigger than we expected and the site itself is brilliant. Its very quiet and peaceful yet close enough to everywhere like Bridlington, Scarborough & Whitby to spend the days out. The obvious highlights of the pod are the fire pit & hot tub but I thought it was really good to have a smart TV with Netflix etc. Its also worth mentioning that the WiFi & 5G signal are really strong again not what I was expecting. Waking up to chickens and Guineafowl never got dull. The owners appear to have thought of everything and more. Theyre also on hand to give great advice on area, Rachel told us about Fraisthorpe beach which we knew nothing about and it was fantastic. What I liked is how much they clearly care about the pods but also how much they care about your vacation. My only recommendations are a firmer pillow although we never struggled sleep and I would have brought a camping chair theres plenty of seating though just so I could sit under the stars for longer. Would highly recommend and we will be back we also had a little dog with us who absolutely loved every minute of it. Youve found it now get it booked.
Arhavindhan
Was fantastic stay in the glamping pod, my kids enjoyed the stay and had a lovely time in the hot tub. Will recommend highly and will book again in the future.
Lovely stay here, will definitely come back. Rachael was very attentive and went above and beyond for everyone. Definitely recommend here.
Graham
Brilliant place to get away and forget, spend time relaxing and let the dog enjoy a holiday too!
Kellie
We booked as a late break for our little boys 9th birthday. And we definitely picked the right place! It was absolutely fabulous. With only six pods on site, it was quiet and calming and such a beautiful location too. The pod was spotless and had great facilities with everything you needed inside. We routinely take our own pot washing items and kitchen roll, but only need the kitchen roll. We were short on pillows but this was fine as I'd brought my own so we shared between us. I'm sure that if we'd asked for an extra one that it would have be arranged, but we managed with what we had and it wasn't an issue. The site is just a short drive to Bridlington and various other areas for all of the necessities, fun and adventure. The games room was a really great touch and the goal posts in the field to the front of the pods really made our little boys day when we arrived. He was in his element. He was safe to wander and we knew he'd be okay. He loved seeing the animals and birds and being in nature in general. The hot tub was so nice and the site in general was wonderful. The fire pitBBQ were so handy and it was nice that the wood wasn't an added extra like a lot of places. Things like that make a difference. We'll definitely look at going back again. We couldn't have found a better spot. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
