  We booked the lodge for our yearly summer holiday away.

  It was in a lovely secluded area and seemed nice for the kids and dogs. We arrived and after a day we realised there was a massive issues with flies in the area, the manager came and I mentioned it to her and she said it was a bad problem that they suffered with her words “ an astonishing amount of flies “ as there were 6 flie catches around the lodges. also there was no form of any blinds or even curtain accross the main entrance patio doors which was straight onto the living / kitchen area which had no privacy to keep people from the other lodge seeing in, also with it been a hot summer the lodge became like a green house as there was nothing to block out the sun, so the lodge was unbearably hot to the point we had to sit in the bedroom with the kids as the floor was warm and the main area was just to warm to sit. we then mention this to the owner in which they said there was nothing they could do. we then went to the Tesco and bought our own fans, but then we soon found we couldn’t have any of the doors or windows open due to the amount of flies that came into the lodge, more than 30 flies in at one time and it was just impossible to get them all out where we were eating and sleeping, there was just a dust pan and brush and one cloth, which we was staying for 7 days, no cleaner every came round or no more cleaning stuff was given so again I had to go to Tesco and buy all our own cleaning products and had to ask the manager to bring a brush so I could sweep the floors as we were there for a week with 2 adults 2 children a baby, and 2 dogs and wanted to keep it clean, also the hot tub was never cleaned once while we was at the lodge. Which in the end we actually came back a day/night earlier than we was ment to - I then messaged the owners to let them know about everything about our stay barin in mind it cost us over a £1000 to see if there was anything they could do for us as a good wil gesture or compensate for us leaving early, and I recieved a message back saying “sorry you feel that way “ then after I had complain about our stay, as my little boy and dogs ended up been poorly when we were back probably due to flies been on all our beds and food ect, as there not the cleanest of things! I left the lodge in immaculate condition cleaning it from head to toe including bleaching both showers and bathroom and everything in the lodge cleaned before we left , and I took videos and pictures of it before we left incase anything was said. I then conveniently after complaining received a message from the owners to say “ the hot tub had grass and hairs in “ complaining and suggesting I might have let my “dogs play in it “ - no one in there right mind would let there dogs play in a hot tub Yet a family of 5 and 2 dogs had stayed at the lodge and it had not once been cleaned, I then stated it’s hard to keep a hot tub immaculate with that many people and not even as much as a proper brush to clean the floors, so hairs might of accidentally of been stuck to the bottom of our feet and then into the tub which would only be natural and nothing mentioned since about our experience, not professional at all. Very disappointed at the amount of money spent for this, if I had known about these things before I booked I wouldn’t have paid to go.

  Overall a really lovely pod - a great size for our party of 2 adults, 2 children and 2 small dogs.

  Furnishings are lovely, the kitchen is one of the best equipped kitchens I've seen throughout our stays in pods. Also the shower facilities are the best I've used in a pod. Initially found the automatic light turning off in the bathroom annoying when trying to shower, but then realised that the mirror has an on/off light! Great feature! The location is a great location, right next to a small park for the kids, and not too far to drive to supermarkets and/or beaches. Still feels nice and rural in location though. I will move on to my small list of improvements, there is clearly a fly problem. I feel the site is doing the best they can to manage this by putting fly traps around, but there are still lots of flies in the pod. This is to be expected in a glamping location though and they did leave plenty of bug spray for us to use. I think adding curtains on the main doors would just add to comfort a bit. It's not entirely necessary because you're facing the back of the other pod but it would add to a homely feel. Also, the main doors had no way to keep the door open like a hook or latch, which meant we could not have the doors open during our stay because the wind was so high that the door kept slamming shut (even when we placed a chair in front of the door). Unfortunately that meant the pod was quite warm because even though it was windy, it was sunny so the pod quickly heat up. I think small additions that we have seen in other pods such as an airer for drying hot tub clothes, and small games for entertainment, and complimentary tea/coffee for arrival day would have been a nice addition but overall the pod was lovely, and the small impact of these negative points would not stop me from returning to Lennon Lodge.

  You better beeelieve it!

  Delightful and surprisingly roomy hut. Clean and comfortable with the addition of a hot tub just outside. Delicious cheese scones, whole lemon drizzle cake, butter and pint of milk were waiting for us on arrival. Very comfortable large bed. Breakfast is available 8-9am to buy at the farmhouse which we tried the first morning. Good choice and both our options were tasty. I believe you can pre-order afternoon tea. Be aware to only open the windows with mesh covers otherwise you will be swarmed with flies. It’s on a farm so I was woken by roosters at 5am and there are plenty of tractors going past. Adds to the charm but perhaps not for those on a working trip. It’s obvious from the pictures but bring walking boots. Could do with a manual. We asked for the WiFi code so could log into tv apps etc on the large tv. Would have been easier if we could turn down the temperature rather than having to open the windows. Also wardrobe/hanging room could be improved with more than one hanger falling off little hooks. There is a remote that we could not work out what it was for - apparently the wicker lamps. My other half mentioned that he hoped the owners would add a hardstanding so cars don’t get stuck in the mud. It looks like there are development plans on site. We had a lovely holiday and visited Norwich, Cambridge, Kings Lynn and Thetford. Would definitely stay there again.

  We had a fantastic weekend and would highly recommend the location.

  We are not fishers, but felt very comfortable amongst those that were. We booked our break as a last minute thing as we were after some time away from it all. We certainly managed to achieve this, the peace and tranquility we experienced was fantastic, the surroundings are beautiful. We spent many hours out on the decking watching the fish in the lake or in the hot tub with a glass of wine. Will and Sarah were fabulous hosts and did make us feel very welcome, they were very friendly and visible. We booked Wagtail lodge and found it to be very clean inside and comfortable. The furniture and linen are good quality and the dishwasher and washer dryer were only a couple of the great additional facilities. We would certainly return for another stay. We gave 4 stars as some minor visual wear and tear which is to be expected, as the lodges aren't new (marking to the outside base of the shower, discoloration to areas over hot tub, outside decking worn in areas), but the experience itself was 5 star for us personally.

  We visited Salt Bay in September for a week and had a fantastic stay!

  Salt Bay is beautifully decorated and very well equipped with everything you need. Nice and quiet location with excellent parking, having the double garage gave the option to park the car inside the garage if required. We enjoyed having the hot tub especially after a long day exploring what Whitby has to offer and this was located in a lovely secluded corner of the terrace so felt very private. The terrace area was a great addition and a lovely sun trap with plenty of space for our dog to explore. Salt Bay is in a fantastic location only a 5-10 min walk from Whitby centre, we were able to do something different everyday within walking distance. We took a boat trip from the harbour this was fantastic to see the coastline and we even got to see some dolphins I would recommend this. Whitby is very dog friendly and our dog enjoyed the beach which was beautiful, will be returning to this lovely place soon
