  A fabulous lodge in a beautiful spot.

  After a very long journey from South Wales, arriving at the beautifully clean, well-equipped Lodge was a relief and the wonderful hot tub helped us to relax immediately and the get the holiday started!! The welcome package was a lovely surprise too and much appreciated. The high quality smart TV and hot tub were lovely little luxuries whilst all the necessities were met with clean rooms, clean bedding and towels, iron and board, plenty of storage and a well- equipped kitchen. We stayed for a week and the owners were extremely responsive. They could be seen on site and any questions were answered very quickly via phone and/or text - very helpful and friendly. Runswick Bay is a beautiful spot. The beautiful beach was only a short walk away but for those with any accessibility should be aware that the hill to the beach is extremely steep. But there is a car park at the bottom of the hill if you need it. The beach and village is well worth a visit and the climb! The lodge is very well placed for trips to Staithes, Sandsend, Whitby and further afield. The local buses travelled to these places regularly and the bus stops are right outside the site. If you enjoy walking, the coastal path is pretty much on your doorstep and well worth a trek for beautiful views. We day tripped to York by train which I would highly recommend, rather than driving! We drove to Yarm Station, about 30 mins away, and had an easy train ride into the centre of York. We had a wonderful week and I would highly recommend Honeysuckle Lodge at Paddock Lodges.

  We returned to Paddock Lodges again this year after staying in Rose Lodge in August last year - we said we'd be back !

  !! Last year I got the impression that the lodges were brand new and fixtures and fittings matched accordingly. It is expected that there be some signs of ware and tear and general usage, but I felt that a few simple house keeping and maintenance practices could be utlilised to keep the lodge in top notch condition and match expectations. For example in Buttercup Lodge the fan in the ensuite shower room did not work and added to the fact that one of the window catches was broken so the window could not be opened to allow steam to escape this ended up in a foisty room, faded and stained shower mats, one of the dining room spot lights needed replacing, the clock needed a new battery, kitchen bin broken and some of the light bulbs in the hot tub needed to be replaced - none of these things are major but add up to a little feel of neglect. Also, the the pots and pans had literally been thrown into the cupboard I assume by the previous occupier, just a quick check from cleaning staff to make sure the cupboard was in order would be sufficient. These are small points which were just a little disappointing, overall the lodge was immaculately clean, beds clean and comfortable, garden furniture and hot tub excellent. The site is well kept and tidy. Overall a resounding recommendation, but paying attention to those little details will ensure such high standards

  The lodge had a lovely welcoming pack with many useful items, thank you.

  There was also lots of toys and games for the children (and adults) to use. The lodge would definitely benefit from better quality single beds. Although the lodge was very clean, there was some mould on the bath silicone, also, the toilet roll holders need securing in both bathrooms as they kept falling off the wall. We did have issues with the boiler as we shouldn’t need to keep refilling the system due to it losing pressure (It’s supposed to be a holiday). There was also no instruction file to refer to for use in the lodge although when asked the owner was unaware that it was missing and was addressing the issue asap The lodge is well equipped and comfortable and there was no extra charges for cots, a highchair AND our little dog which was a big plus. It’s easy to miss the turn in to the lane for the lodge as the sign can only be seen coming from one direction, we drove straight past the entrance first time but found it when turning round on the road. Maybe a local planning problem? We would definitely stay at the lodge in the future as it’s a really pleasant, tidy well kept site, immaculate in fact and we had a great time. Its also very well situated for exploring the area. Overall a few little niggles but none of which spoilt out holiday at all.

  We had a fabulous holiday staying at Sea Holly Lodge.

  It was spotless on arrival, very spacious and comfortable with plenty of storage. Having read previous comments about lack of hooks I took an over door hook rack which solved the problem. Having said that some hooks on doors would be extremely useful! We found no issue with the TV not having access to the standard channels and enjoyed Netfelix/used i player to get BBC news, shame you couldnt get a local weather forecast but you can easily get this online as the WiFi connection was good (much to the relief of our teenage kids). Everything we needed was provided and the complimentary tray of goodies and milk in the fridge was a lovely touch. The site itself is very peaceful and it was nice to come back and relax in the lodge and have a game of Scrabble (also provided). There's plenty of info provided in the side unit if needed but we used the internet most of the time. We must recommend a visit to the tiny Beech Grove bakery in Runswick next door to Runswick Bay Hotel, run by a lovely lady who makes the most amazing cakes, pastries and bread. A great location to visit some beautiful places and Runswick beach within walking distance was wonderful. We had a brilliant holiday, thank you.

  Beautiful little shepards hut, big enough for what we needed, very well equipped kitchenette and good size bathroom for the size of the hut. Very comfortable and lovely decor gave it a homely home from home feeling. Bed was extremely comfortable and cosy. Lovely setting for a holiday weekend away with my husband. Was brilliant to be able to sit on the terrace and listen to the wildlife at night and the views were breathtaking. Great to hear that this will be the only shepards hut on the field as it gives it a nice secluded and exclusive appeal to it. Both owners were friendly and welcoming and extremely helpful. Owners kindly invited us a long to a tai che session Sunday morning with was fantastic to be apart of and has given myself and my husband a new found hobby to take up together. Location of the hut was brilliant as it was only a very short drive to the Staithes village or an even shorter drive to a local pub. Would definitely come again x
