The location is excellent for exploring the brilliant countryside and seaside. The 4 of us were very comfortable in this well furnished lodge and we highly recommend staying here to explore the local area. We had everything provided in the lodge for a relaxing and excellent break. Local pubs took 45 minutes to walk to; however, that was in the snow. Will not hesitate to book here again the next time we visit this area.

The location was great, only 10 mins drive to Whitby. Itâs very quiet, even on a busy caravan site. The accommodation is well equipped. The only downsides were it is classed as family friendly but you have to take your own travel cot & Highchair. This wasnât an issue but would have been much more convenient not to need to take them. We also stayed in October & the weather was quite cold some days & nights, we had our 2 month old baby with us, the heating appeared to go off on a night and the rooms cooled down very quickly so I had to keep getting up in the night to manually put the heating back up to keep it a warm enough level for our baby. This was a minor inconvenience for our otherwise lovely stay.

A beautiful, quiet lodge set in woodland which was great for evening walks with our 3 younger children. It was clean, comfortable and had all the facilities you need. Perfectly located for Whitby & other seaside resorts on the East Coast. Had a fantastic holiday and wouldnât hesitate to stay there again.
