  What a beautiful weeks stay in such a fabulous house and grounds!

  We certainly made the most of the glorious weather we were so lucky to have by playing all the outdoor games provided in the gorgeous grass paddock along with our two dogs. We did a lot of lounging on the patio and dipped into the hot tub with iced aperyol spritz (plenty of green dye/freezer space for refreshments!!!) Said hello daily to the friendly horse and sheep who made for welcome company during the stay! There’s something rather magical bathing in a hot tub whilst gazing at a beautiful horse shaded under a tree in a sunny green field and then later to the countryside starry nights sky. We definitely made the most of the kitchen facilities of which there were plenty and nibbled most days, cooked most evenings and ventured out to The Stoned Trough (which was delicious) one evening. The bed was insanely comfy and all rooms furnished to such a tasteful and high quality. All the showers were hot, powerful and never fell short despite the number of people staying/using them. We loved mooching about in the robes provided too, how can you not feel relaxed and in holiday mode in a robe!! The local walks we had were all delightful, down at Kirkham Abbey and along a couple of the rivers nearby. The footpath maps (online) are most certainly not a 100% given so we did come across a few fields overgrown over path with nettles/rape seed which we embraced, some more willingly than others! All in all a tremendous holiday, enjoyed by both Hens for the initial weekend and then my family for the remainder of the week. Thank you so much for the hospitality of Alexandra and Michael. Firstly for creating such a wonderful place to stay (we ALL enjoyed looking through the book!) and being so accommodating with our very few needs. All the best.

  Our stay at Sykes Lodge was wonderful!

  The house is exactly as listed, and was immaculately clean on our arrival. The beds were comfortable, temperature was warm. There were plenty of plates, cookwear and glasses for a large group. Living room was comfortable and had plenty of space for a big group to sit together. Alexandra and her husband were great hosts, and gave us a tour when we arrived to show us how to use everything, and gave us a welcome basket. The guide they put together for guests is detailed and helpful. I only had a few (very minor) negatives, flagging more for the hosts benefit - future guests please note neither of these should put you off staying at this wonderful house: - The pipes near the second fridge in the kitchen often smelled quite bad. I did flag this to Alexandra who explained it was due to leaves outside but it was occasionally quite off-putting, especially being so near the kitchen. - The hot tub had a button that shut down the whole thing and required the hosts to come and re-start it. The button looks like a typical menu button, so despite me telling our group about it, it still was accidentally pressed. This meant contacting the hosts to fix the hot tub, and waiting a few hours before they could come an help, interrupting the evening a bit. I'd suggest putting waterproof tape on this button, or a warning sign beside the hot tub, to stop this confusing situation happening in future.

  114 Westgate is a fantastic property the photos on Sykes really don’t do it justice.

  It is really tastefully decorated , furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Modern but also in keeping with the age of the cottage. The bathroom is brilliant and so relaxing loved the lighting around the bath. The shower was also excellent. The icing on the cake with this property was the hot tub . It was absolutely fantastic to relax in after an afternoon out walking with the dog. The whole back yard was really well thought out with benches artificial grass and colour changing lighting . Although NOT mentioned in Sykes description a parking permit is provided by the owner, it is on the sideboard in the dining room. This made parking easy most evenings we were able to park right outside. Guisborough itself is a lovely town with really friendly people. It has everything you could possibly need, Aldi,Lidl, Sainsburys , M&S and independent shops, pubs including Wetherspoons, restaurants, multiple takeaways all within easy walking distance from the cottage. We particularly liked Shurovi Indian takeaway / restaurant. Danny the owner is a really nice genuine chap and he will go all out to make your holiday at Westgate enjoyable and one to remember. I can’t recommend this cottage enough and will definitely be returning. Thank you Danny for a wonderful stay.

  Amazing birthday stay!

  What can I say about this lodge? Probably the most stunning lodge I have ever stayed in! The decor was stunning and it was decorated to such a high standard with each room having its own quirky ness. Every small detail thought of and everything is provided for a self catering holiday even down to cling film which was a very nice surprise. The pictures really don’t do it justice and the space is perfect for a large get together. The hot tub was amazing and so were the views from the property. The hosts were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, nothing asked was too much and we always received a response. We booked this lodge so long ago for my 30t birthday and Alexandra has slowly been decorating and keeping up to date with its progress with images as it went a long. The dog friendly aspect was a massive plus for us with us all having dogs in our family, the adjacent paddock with the dogs to run free in was great. Would highly recommend this place, so peaceful, tranquil and truly charming. We hope to stay again soon. Thanks Natalie
