Morndyke

Amazing location to explore, great views also the wildlife. Shepherd's hut had everything you need, even better when it's dog friendly.

Everything, really nice hut in a quiet location but near to pubs and Thirsk.
Particularly liked the enclosed grass area outside the huts which was great for our dog, she loved it.

We had a lovely stay at morndyke, the weather was really mild too for the time of year which meant we were able to enjoy the fire pit outside on an evening, the setting is really beautiful and we saw lots of wildlife from the window of our hut, accessing Morndyke was really easy thanks to Tricia’s helpful tips sent via email before our stay, the hut had absolutely everything we needed for our stay and was spotlessly clean! We felt so welcome with our dog too which is always a great bonus, we also visited the dog & gun in Knayton for a meal with our dog which was one of Tricia’s recommendations and it was delicious

The accommodation was cosy and unique and everything was amazing quality in the hut. Peaceful remote location with a beautiful Indian restaurant within walking distance, less than a mile away. Surrounding towns/villages were beautiful and plenty to explore.

The bird feeders outside the window in one of the huts was lovely, and we saw woodpeckers several times.

Once we had cleaned the wood burner, it was very cosy.

The place was really dirty considering they employ professional cleaners. This included body hair in the shower and in the sink. Cobwebs on the ceiling in the main room. Greasy and tea stained crockery. There was even an old wine cork left on the corkscrew in the cutlery draw. The wood burning stove had not been emptied or cleaned, we had to clear this before it could be used.

The noise from the aerators in the fishing lake, which is turned on at night, disturbed us as you can hear it in the hut even with the windows and shutters closed. On the first night it starting just after 9pm and went off just before sunrise. On the second even we phone the owners and they turned it off until later that night.

When we emailed the owner to say about the state of the hut, we had a two line email back saying she would pass this on to the cleaning team, not even an apology.

Overall very disappointed with the cleanliness and customer service for somewhere that is almost £100 a night. We would never go back.

EVERYTHING!!! Within a few hours I felt completely relaxed. Billy, my black Labrador, was well chilled out.

Leaving.

Beautiful decor and attention to detail, lots of space and private patio/bbq area.
