  A fabulous lodge in a beautiful spot.

  After a very long journey from South Wales, arriving at the beautifully clean, well-equipped Lodge was a relief and the wonderful hot tub helped us to relax immediately and the get the holiday started!! The welcome package was a lovely surprise too and much appreciated. The high quality smart TV and hot tub were lovely little luxuries whilst all the necessities were met with clean rooms, clean bedding and towels, iron and board, plenty of storage and a well- equipped kitchen. We stayed for a week and the owners were extremely responsive. They could be seen on site and any questions were answered very quickly via phone and/or text - very helpful and friendly. Runswick Bay is a beautiful spot. The beautiful beach was only a short walk away but for those with any accessibility should be aware that the hill to the beach is extremely steep. But there is a car park at the bottom of the hill if you need it. The beach and village is well worth a visit and the climb! The lodge is very well placed for trips to Staithes, Sandsend, Whitby and further afield. The local buses travelled to these places regularly and the bus stops are right outside the site. If you enjoy walking, the coastal path is pretty much on your doorstep and well worth a trek for beautiful views. We day tripped to York by train which I would highly recommend, rather than driving! We drove to Yarm Station, about 30 mins away, and had an easy train ride into the centre of York. We had a wonderful week and I would highly recommend Honeysuckle Lodge at Paddock Lodges.

  The lodge was very nice and comfortable.

  We was pleasantly suprised at how well equipped it was. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The beds were very comfy. On arrival the place looked clean and tidy however after being there for 5 mins my socks got covered in dog fur from a previous tenant. Luckily there was a hoover in the cupboard so I could hoover up all the dog hair. The fridge and freezer had also been left off so they were warm and a bit stinky when we arrived. The hot tub was perfect for us as a family of 3. But you would struggle to fit 4 adults in comfortably. We also wasn't too keen on the location of marigold lodge on the park itself as the hot tub sat right on the drive way. Which was fine when sitting in as the fence created privacy But when we got out of the hot tub we were on display to anyone passing by. There is parking for 1 car and they are small spaces. When we arrived a neighbour had also parked right next to our lodge as they had 2 cars. They wanted to leave it there but we requested they move it as it was right by our hot tub area. But there is limited additional parking. All of these issues were minor to us though and didn't spoil our time away. The location was perfect for us to explore the coast. Whitby, Robin hoods bay, falling Foss and Scarborough. It was very quiet there too which we liked and we visited the pub round the corner which served delicious food. We would return again in the future but maybe book a different lodge which has more privacy.

  It is a shame that it wasn't clear whether the lodge was part of the campsite and if there was an office or person on site for any issues.

  It was a shame that there was no info on if you could turn the hottub off and how long to reheat if it wasn't needed for a while. It is disgraceful that there is no way to recycle and would be interested to know what is being done to get the council to provide this. The lodge was immaculate and had everything needed including toilet roll, tea, coffee, milk and things to wash up with. The mattress was far too soft and uncomfortable and the chairs in the dining area were rickety and cheaply made. The sofa wasn't put together properly which meant that when I leaned on one side it tumbled over and knocked the table with the lamp mixer, luckily nothing broke and I'm ok. Also, it would be helpful to have tourist leaflets on the local area, I left some that I picked up. Everything else was excellent. Love the efforts to make the outside area look nice with trees etc. Really enjoyed our holiday. Location is excellent and we would recommend.

  We had a wonderful stay at Lilac Lodge and we may return again in the future.

  The lodge was well equipped, very clean and in fact everything looked brand new. The hot tub was fabulous and quite private as they seem to have thought about the layout of all the lodges to provide as much privacy as possible. The site was lovely and quiet and we loved the location. We have never visited Runswick Bay before and we were blown away with how lovely it is, so much so that we spent a full day on the beach with our children. The lodge is 2 minutes up a very steep hill from Runswick bay which is very handy. Also very close to Staithes, Sansend and Whitby. If we do come again we would hope to stay longer as there are so many lovely places close by. My only negative is that it was quite expensive. We paid £600 for 2 nights last minute. We have stayed in lodges much bigger than this and also in a lovely location for much less money. We would however return if the prices were a little lower.

  This cottage was a great find.

  Much to my joy, there were fresh flowers in the kitchen, milk in the fridge, crisps, sweets and a local cake awaiting us along with tea and coffee. Tea towels and cleaning products were supplied too. The woodburner was laid and ready to be lit. The owner had obviously listened to previous suggestions and acted on all of them except for supplying an airer. There is an outside line but no pegs. Parking off road at the front was a bonus. New kitchen and bathroom. Courtyard will be a lovely space in the summer with table, chairs and a bbq. Unfortunately, at present, the solar lights were not working but it is only March! Bench in the front garden catches the sun. Would definitely like to return here again. Village has 2 pubs, both serving food, an excellent butcher, petrol station and hairdressers (l think). Close to beaches and on a very efficient bus route.
