What our customers say about their holidays

  The lodge was beautiful, spacious and bright.

  The layout worked well for our family and our daughter especially loved the bunks. Set in a peaceful setting, we enjoyed the quiet that it offered. However, the rattan furniture is not as per the picture, it’s a basic set which only seats 4 despite the lodge being able to sleep 7. A identical table and chairs were being used in the lodge opposite, I’m not sure if this was a coincidence. The bbq, despite being a Weber, was unusable due to the fact there was no handle on top of the bbq lid and inside was absolutely filthy and rusted in places due to the holes that the handle left. The oven wasn’t very good and we struggled to even cook oven chips properly. It only seemed to cook well on the right hand side of the cooker. The skirting boards were falling off in places, particularly next to the fridge where they were just resting against the wall. The main issue we had though was the blinds in the main bedroom. As per a previous review, they were completely broken which meant you couldn’t open the blinds nor close them properly. Unfortunately, the blinds flooded the room with light from 4am which woke our 1 year old. We had lovely weather during our stay but had to buy a fan as we couldn’t access the window in the bedroom and the room was really hot. The mattress in the bedroom was spring based and we found this really uncomfortable. The remaining blinds across the lodge were also a little broken too. Unfortunately we found there to be a lack of cutlery too. Some basics like salt and pepper would have been a good addition along with some hand soap. This along with the lack of children’s cutlery, for the price that we paid made us feel underwhelmed. Especially when we’ve been to other properties, paid less and got more for our money.

  We had a thoroughly enjoyable few days at Rockpool Retreat.

  The site is easy to find and first impressions are excellent. Being low season we were only one of two occupied lodges so it was wonderfully quiet. The lodge itself is well equipped and comfortable and there was a nice welcome basket provided on arrival with the basics. Our first impression was actually, this actually looks better than the pictures! Our only criticism is that the master en-suite bedroom has a full height window and ridiculously thin curtains, they may as well have not been there for how useful they are. A black out blind or a thick thermal curtain would make a huge difference. The local area is nice, it's a tiny village though and given it's location it's very seasonal. When we went the local pubs/restaurants/take aways and even those in the next village were closed outside Friday/Weekend so keep that in mind if your intention is to go out. Runswick Bay itself is a very pretty little area, there is a road down to the beach but unless you're comfortable with walking up VERY steep hills, take the car down there. We stayed with our dog and the site is really well located for going on nice walks. If you go outside the gates and turn right you are very quickly into open fields and you have access to the Cleveland Way foo path that can take you for miles in either direction, aside from a few walkers we didn't see another soul. There is an Aldi/Lidl/Asda all within a 15 minute or so drive and slightly closer there's a BP garage near scaling dam with a really well stocked shop attached. We'll definitely be returning, would be nice to be able to make use of the provided BBQ next time!

  The property is beautifully furnished, clean and comfortable, with all kitchen and patio amenities for a really relaxing and enjoyable stay.

  A couple of small things detracted, which would ideally be addressed. The gate code to the holiday park is not provided with the entry and key collection details, which after a long journey is potentially a big problem, particularly if you were to arrive late in the evening. Luckily a resident spotted us and allowed us in. The blinds in the main ensuite bedroom don't close, so we had very light sleep despite otherwise very comfortable rooms. The tvs in the bedrooms don't work, which wasn't an issue for us as such but neither did the tv in the living room reliably- it seemed to work for short periods only before transmission broke up so there was no point in trying. I reported both the blinds and the tv issue to the owner but received no response. I didn't notice that WiFi is not available when I booked, but it's so uncommon now that I think the lack of WiFi should be made clear. All in all a beautiful property and an enjoyable stay but you had a sense of being left to your own devices once payment had been made.

  Outstanding lodge everything about it is fantastic.

  Location is perfect for walks down to Runswick Bay. The welcome hamper was fantastic and all the extra touches around the lodge for us to use so we can begin our holiday straight away. The only thing we could have used was an extra key as our family at times wanted to go separate places but couldn’t if the other went out earlier and had the key. The parking permit is a lovely thing but wasn’t sure where or how to use this, it would be very useful if instructions were added to the information folder and much appreciated for those who don’t understand how they work. The lodge was so clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated throughout. Please don’t take the two things above as a negative it would just have been even better for our stay. Anyone considering this beautiful lodge won’t be disappointed. Didn’t want to come home it was that relaxing. Lots of thoughtful touches from the owners throughout the lodge. Just love it all.

  We were blown away with this property and felt the price offered value for money.

  We had previously stayed on the site and loved it so much we returned. The first property was good but this was so much better. I was slightly concerned after reading reviews about the tv not working but we didn’t have any problems. We could access normal tv plus Netflix, Disney and others. We received a lovely welcome pack and the apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped with everything you would need. Each bed had two pillows and the towels provided were good quality. The bunk bed set up with the port holes was so magical for the children and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I’d recommend the hours walk to Staithes on the cliff top especially in a sunny day. Sadly the local pub was closed out of season during the week but we found a lovely welcoming pub with sn extensive menu a short drive (30 min walk) in Ellerby and when we couldn’t get a taxi, the owner even offered us a lift.We will definitely be back.
