We planned this stay for me and my wife, and we couldn’t believe how relaxing and quiet it was! We brought our dogs along, and they loved it—settling in perfectly at night.The pods are thoughtfully positioned to give you plenty of privacy while still allowing you to enjoy the stunning surrounding area. They're also very secure, so we felt comfortable leaving for a few hours while we went hiking.The car park is close, and the on-site restaurant serves some of the best food I’ve ever had—highly recommend the steak pie!We’re already looking to book a return visit in the winter. The pods are equipped with a wood-burning stove, I can imagine they make the space warm and cosy in the winter.The staff were incredibly friendly and they even took the time to stop and chat with us, which made the experience feel even more personal.This place feels untouched by time, and I hope it stays that way—it’s truly a hidden gem that deserves to be preserved just as it is.

Site is accessible (24hours a day!), Location is stunning and the views amazing. Staff are wonderful, helpful and friendly. The pod facilities are the best I have experienced with the services it provides, fridge, lighting, toilet and bed complete with bedding and the value for money - surprising Yorkshire value! Restaurant and Cafe have a great range and great value for money.Local attractions are the Cleveland Way and Lordstones views.My only recommendation would be to modify the shop offer. Catering for day trippers (which make most of the visitor population I suspect), but for this who are staying for a longer period some basics would be appreciated...fresh bread, cooked meats, beer and wine.

I took my dog, two grandchildren 6 and 2 and my daughter in law on this break and stayed in a pod. The pod village is an in closed space. In the area there is a pond which had frogs, and ducks and loads of lovely birds. My grandchildren loved looking at the wild life has did the adults. The staff were excellent particularly with the children. The pod was clean. Microwave and kettle were clean. The only thing missing was a can opener, has we had drought tin food to microwave.We ate in the restaurant, food was lovely. Overall we had a great time. Thanks Lordstone

The cap site is great, very private and unique area for the pods. We loved it !It is far enough from the bar/restaurant to avoid noise and a big enough area to allow children to explore. The pond is a great addition2 things that stood out for improvement - mattresses these feel very used and flat Shower block, a few DIY tasks required and a little TLC over the day would be good. Walkers can seem to access these during the day and it was full of grass when we went to use it

Loved the pods only issue was no service and the provided wifi didn’t reach the curlew pod we stayed in otherwise superb. Also wasn’t any proper utensils for bbq.

It was a great two nights and days. I have been several times before and will becoming back again. I love the views, and all the walks that can be done nearby.

Stopped in the Mallard Glamping pod with my 2 year old grandson for two days. Ideal for our requirements, clean, warm and comfortable. Lovely location, used the cafe of breakfast and dinner, first class food. The shower block was great.Things to be aware of, the Glamping pod has toilet but no shower. No TV and no Internet access in Pod. Didn't bother me for our stay but may be important to others.

Pod very clean and cosy,great view,and felt very welcomed by staff,excellent service in cafe,and food was high quality,would definitely return

Lovely pods and surroundings, but was a little disappointed with the restaurant which we assumed would be like a pub, cozy and homely, sadly it was just a very large formal cafe with no atmosphere, hence we cooked ourselves. Unfortunately, the majority of our stay was spent from 9.30am to 3.30pm listening to work men working on the pods, drilling, sawing and hammering, and then cutting branches down. After having a word with management, it made not the slightest bit of difference, as the following day, they were back again! Hence we won't be returning.

Our stay at Lord Stones was absolutely fantastic, primarily due to the breathtaking location. Perched on the escarpment, the views across the North Pennines were simply stunning, especially at sunset. Waking up to such a vista was a real treat. The site itself felt peaceful and well-situated to take advantage of the natural beauty. It's a perfect spot for anyone looking to escape and immerse themselves in nature.
