  Just had a lovely midweek break at Rose Lodge.

  There are just 10 lodges on a small site just behind the Runswick Bay Hotel. They are nicely positioned so all are fairly private. There is a caravan park behind a hedge but we had no issue with noise. Most people like us had their dogs with them so there was a bit of barking when dogs heard or saw each other but it's a lovely peaceful location very close to the Cleveland Way if you like walking. The lovely little bay is 5-10 mins walk down a very steep hill. It was too steep for us to walk up (I think it would take 20 mins to walk up!) but there is a pay and display car park close to the bottom (free after 6.00pm). Rose Lodge was definitely the best lodge we have stayed in - probably helps that everything was still very new at the time of our stay but the furnishings and layout were excellent. The 4 person hot tub was lovely and in a private position. The beds were really comfortable. A useful addition would be black out blinds in the east facing main bedroom as sunrise is likely to wake you up early. The only negative we had was with the wi-fi which was really poor. Very easy to log on but the connection was continually lost. During our stay the central heating wouldn't seem to work. We followed the instructions but the heating wouldn't come on. We only needed it on one morning when there was no sun but didn't raise the issue at the time of our stay as we didn't need heating apart from that one morning. Hot water wasn't a problem as it is a combi boiler so instant water when you need it. Very useful having an ensuite and a bathroom both with showers. Highly recommend Rose Lodge and we would definitely like to return in the future.

  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.

  Positives: A fabulous lodge on a very peaceful site, in a beautiful location.

  Situated between 2 lovely walks along the Cleveland Way (3.8 miles to Staithes & 9 miles to Whitby). The welcome pack was a lovely surprise. But it would have been useful to have known about it in advance. Negatives: • Broken shower bracket in en-suite (previously reported by other guests). • No live ITV channels (previously reported by other guests). • On 6/5/22 we checked with Sykes Cottages to see if Bramblewick lodge had a washing machine. We were told us that none of the lodges had one. It did !! • No ironing board or iron (which is odd given that it has a washing machine). • The lock on the main door to the lodge was temperamental in that, on occasions, it wouldn’t lock/unlock. • The patio doors would not close properly and are clearly out of alignment. We had to pull the door to the left in order to close it correctly (previously reported by other guests). • More general information about the surrounding area would have been useful: Eg. (1) Local walking guides (fortunately we took our own and have left them for future guests); (2) public transport – we discovered that the bus stops were opposite the Runswick Bay Hotel and that the X4 bus runs every half hour to/from Whitby & Middlesborough. • The lack of a site office was a little disconcerting. What would happen in an emergency?

  If I knew there was a fully booked and very noisy wedding venue directly behind the cottage I would not have booked thi and I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone does.

  When I book anywhere the first thing I look for is quiet and tranquil. We both have busy lives and I have health problems so this is our first priority when booking anywhere. This property promised both. What you fail to tell people is there is a fully booked wedding venue directly behind the cottage which has weddings running everyday. The music starts at 2pm and finishes somewhere around midnight, every day. The bedroom backs onto this and so while in bed you can hear droning music and people talking/shouting all night. Also when the weather is nice the guest sit out directly behind the cottage talking and shouting until whatever time they want. The venue isnt linked to the cottages and no one can tell a wedding to be quiet so this basically ruined our entire stay, the cottage is lovely but the noise from the venue makes it horrendous to stay there, if it wasnt for the fact we were going further for the second week we would have gone home, it was that bad. I think its disgraceful that its not mentioned anywhere on the listing. With this in mind it is also nigh on impossible to walk safely into Saltburn, without the car and crazy parking costs we would have been sat listening to weddings all week. I would like to speak to someone about the experience as I think it was mis sold.
