What our customers say about their holidays

  From the moment we arrived, the view from the quaint road was a sight to behold.

  The two properties against the wooded backdrop and luscious green fields. Chickens and fresh eggs daily. Thanks to the hens, for letting us collect their bounty. The welcome pack and sweets was a lovely touch, something for the big & little kids in our group. The property is spacious, inviting whilst homely. Every small detail has been carefully thought out. No fighting over sockets for phones, tablets etc. Layout is extremely well thought out. Heating controlled at the flick of a switch. Fans and wide opening windows and doors, to let the Welsh air in. All bathrooms are large with excellent rainfall showers. I don’t know where to start about the beds, bedding, comfort to sink into. Sunny days, or showers the upstairs bedrooms views are simply beautiful. The patio at the back allowed us to fully take in nature. Whilst the grounds, secret seating, pond created with love and the sound of the steam in the background. The balcony with a large barbecue, heating and seating in two areas, allowed us to unwind and take in the hills over yonder. Those sunrises and sunsets were a sight to behold, We were even treated to a double rainbow, after storm Agnes passed through. We were not able to think of any missing items for cooking, the owners have thought of everything. All weathers taken care of, as the very large hot hub was so inviting with privacy and superb views. Last but by no means least, Vickie & Grant were welcoming, charming and knowledgeable about their properties and the local area. There if we needed them, by no means intrusive. Thanks for a fabulous stay, we will be back to their little peace of heaven. Book you will not be disappointed.

  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.

  Overall the lodge was nice, however it did fall short in many areas unfortunately.

  When we arrived, the information stated that a key box would be outside but it did not tell us how to get to the lodge or about the barriers. After driving around for 15 minutes, we went to reception and were told we needed to walk there first to get the keys. No map provided. The lodge itself was nice, but there was rubbish left in several places including bread in the cupboard which was stale and rubbish behind the TV and beds. I was also disappointed that there was only 1 oven tray, no basic essentials like salt/pepper/cooking oil and no spare bedding provided which is often essential when travelling with children. We the found out that although the advert states that swimming and gym access is included, it isn't and I ended up paying £100 for my children to swim which is misleading as this was one of the main reasons I booked this particular lodge. Overall, nice lodge but the lack of information, completely incorrect information in places and lack of basic essentials did make the holiday fall short of what I would expect for such a lovely site. It would be really helpful to provide people with more detailed check-in information and make it clear that no activities are included and must be paid for.

  On arrival, the kitchen had dirty splash back (coffee stains up the wall under the window), grill pan had cheese & crumbs in, 2 partly used containers of milk were in the fridge, one floor plank had slid & there was a 2” gap between planks.

  Kitchen window (left) latch was loose. Dried food was left stuck on dining table. Large duvet was lying in the bottom of the pantry. French doors by the wood burner/ sitting area wouldn’t shut (we looked at the handle & noted there was no locking mechanism, this meant the lodge was not secure. The En-suite shower in main the bedroom had 1/2 used toiletries in the shower which looked dirty (black & orange marks on the floor), also the shower curtain was orange/brown on the bottom 25%. In the main bedroom 4 pillowcases had been left draped over the television, we put them on the pillows. There were cobwebs throughout the property & the skirting boards were covered in dust. The WiFi hardly worked & it was only possible to get 3G. We certainly didn’t expect to have to go out to get any connection. We felt disappointed & think the lodge is tired. The lodge was a perfect size for us with a 94 year old in tow. We loved the location & the setting of the lodge. The Barnsdale Hotel was conveniently situated for meals & refreshments, and use of the WiFi.

  What can I say.

  . WOW!! Just stunning from start to finish. The lodge is pretty much brand new and has everything we needed for our stay. It really felt like home from home. Everything has been really thought through, the owners are incredible, so helpful with any questions and really lovely people. They very kindly included a hamper of goodies and also the huge sweet jar which went down a treat with everyone who stayed with us. The bbq and hot tub area were the star of the show, we couldnt quite believe it could be better then the pictures. We took our daughter who is 1 & it could not have been more baby proof- she adored the chickens and collecting their eggs, and loved all the sheep she could see from the house. Its super safe and in a great location, we did snowdon mountain, chester zoo, even zip world is just under an hour away. Lots of beaches closeby too. Lovely pubs for food and amazing country parks for walks. It was the perfect holiday for our family & friends. Cannot wait to be back at Fron Haul!
