Lovely little find. We stayed for 3 nights, would definitely recommend to friends and family. Hot tub was a massive plus for my 14 year old. Lots of lovely little villages and seaside resorts to visit with in a short driving distance.

Beautiful place, lovely and clean. Lovely hosts
Lovely experience, the whole thing was great. Topping up firewood free of charge is a first Pool table could do with new balls and a refit. 5 star
Had the most amazing time, highly recommend, cant wait to go back. The pod was immaculately clean & comfortable set in a peaceful environment.
Daniel
Myt partner and I had an amazing time. The property was stunning, cosy, had great facilities and was in a beautiful location. It's so quiet and peaceful, we had the best nights' sleep and came back fully relaxed and refreshed. The property was well maintained and it was nice to see the owners about regularly checking hot tubs etc. We even got given a bottle of wine on New Years Eve which was a lovely touch. I cannot fault our tay and would highly recommend me and my partner cannot wait to book again.
We loved our stay, thank you
Jacqueline
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It was so peaceful with beautiful surroundings. Loved the hot tub every evening
Having just stayed in the glamping pods from 1st October till 4th October, the say was such a lovely time. Facilities were great, hot tub was lovely however no bubbles we still enjoyed it just as much. There is loads of walks, nice pubs and surrounding attractions which are not too far away from little Kelk. I will definitely be back and would recommend.
Absolutely amazing facilities. Everything you possibly need. Highly recommended place to stay. Extremely clean & beautiful relaxing hot tub.
We had an amazing stay. We also booked Husk at the same time. Hosts were really great and attentive. The site is a lovely, quiet little place, and a great kicking off point for local sites Hull, Scarborough, Flamborough Head, Burton Agnes Hall, Bridlington, the list goes on and on. All the facilities you could possibly want at a glamping site. And the hot tub was sublime! Couldnt have asked for a more relaxing break. Thank you very much
Nichola
Lovely little stay for 3 nights with my partner and son. Plenty of space and relaxed environment.
It was just wot me and my son needed few days away from stressful life nice and relaxing and owners so friendly.
Absolutely beautiful place to stay, the only slight disappointment was the hot ... Absolutely beautiful place to stay, the only slight disappointment was the hot tub but only because of personal preference was expecting a proper hot in with bubbles but it is just a tub with heated water going into it, and seemed to have a lot of flies that loved staying in the clamping pod, the owners are absolutely lovely and very helpful, we would definitely re book to stay again
Yvonne
