  Unfortunately, my stay wasn’t brilliant.

  The first day we got there we got given key fobs that didn’t work. So we had to spend half an hour ringing different number to try and get hold of someone to come down and let us in, and give us a new gate code. In the morning we tried to shower and there was no hot water. This continued for a full weekend. We had cold showers for 3 nights in a row after paying 600 quid to stay there. We were told the hot tub takes 1 hour to warm so we could at least jump in there with no hot water. It took me seven and a half hours to heat the hot tub to a standard where it was warm enough to warrant getting in. I checked on the fire every half an hour and used nearly two bags of wood. We took the dog which was lovely, but the hoover didn’t work and we had nothing but a dust pan and brush. So naturally there was dirt and sticks on the floor between the dog and making the fire and there was no real way to clean up. The sofa was very uncomfortable and me and my partner spent the weekend alternating between sitting on the floor and the sofa. Overall the weekend was a 1 star weekend stay. Really disappointing as the location is lovely and secluded and it could be a nice stay. Should have read the reviews properly as it seems the issues are on going and still unresolved.

  Our entry to Lake View Lodge was some what of a task in its self as we arrived after the park closed.

  However once we gained entry to the park and at the lodge we where blown away. The welcome package for us and our dog and the Christmas Tree made it feel very festive. We loved the fully equipped kitchen, made preparing meals easy. Loved the walk in shower. The whole layout of the lodge was prefect given its size and the views were spectacular. If you like to eat out we would recommend the Ye Old Forge Valley Inn in West Ayton, or The Mayfield in Seamer. Both allow dogs inside. We have enjoyed our stay and would look to rebook in the future. However, this would also depend on few things being fixed, replaced etc, which we have directly emailed the owners and Sykes about. We did read the reviews prior to booking the lake view lodge, which gave us an insight as to what to expect Despite the list of things that need addressing and things that we think could add. We didn’t want to end the email on a negative note and wanted to we had a good time, enjoyed the hot tub, sitting out on a morning watching the world go by and would definitely recommend the lodge to family and friends. As well as rebooking ourselves.

  It is a lovely little chalet.

  We were there in late January/ early February, I can imagine it would be nice to sit on the fully enclosed veranda in summer. On arrival, there was no milk or oat milk, which was on the list of 'what to expect', however we had taken some with us just in case. The mattress was very soft and feels like it needs replacing. The same with the L shaped seating. There were only 3 mugs, not a huge problem, as when our friends came round, we used one of the 3 small tea cups. We found the sweeping brush which was provided was full of hairs, apart from that the chalet was clean, and well equipped. The instructions/ welcome book were very clear and helpful. A nice touch to have a caddy full of dog treats. The central heating an air con/ fan heater worked very well to warm the rooms very quickly. There are LOTS of rabbits around the chalets, which are nice to watch, but very tempting for our dogs! The owners went above and beyond to support us with a request regarding our dogs.

  Me, my partner and our dog had a lovely stay!

  We got out of the stay exactly what we were looking for. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome, everyone spoke to us and we even joined in playing pool and darts. If I’m honest we stopped in a chalet and we both agreed we’d come back to the site but stop in a caravan next time. The chalets are nice but they do lack cooking facilities and a bit more space when you have a pet too. It was not very warm and we did struggle to dry our clothes, however it was March and poor weather. Could not fault the bed and the comfort of the mattress 10/10. The shower was lovely and the hot tub beautiful. Lovely touch having the robes provided too. We made some great friends in the bar and they made our stay! It’s a lovely base for visiting local areas, we went to Scarborough, Whitby and Filey during our stay. There is also great walks from the site, which we loved and made the most of. Thank you Snooty Fox, we will hopefully see you again soon.

  The first impression (view) on arrival was a hanging basket at the side of the door which was totally dead, hardly a good first impression.

  . The lodge is listed as 5 "ticks", I'm not sure how this is derived, but there was a lot of issues we encountered, firstly there was no information pack about WiFi, heating controls etc. Also, the extractor fan in the shower room didn't work and it was EXTREMELY dirty, there was cobwebs all around the ceilings which had captured "daddy longlegs", the roof leaked on to the wood burning stove and between the breakfast bar and sofa when it rained, there was a lot of grease splashes on the wall to either side of the hob. The outside table and chairs were VERY dirty and the overhanging roof soffit where you sit outside was again VERY dirty and needs brushing down. I have photos which I will share on an email as I also have a query regarding the price we paid (£882.00) for a week in September when it's £706.00 for the same week next year, and it was going to be £574.00 for the same week last year which we had to postpone......
