  The property was absolutely beautiful . Plenty of pots, pans .crockery . In fact everything you needed was there. Lovely and clean with stunning views from the verandah of the wild life. We managed to see deer. Squirrels and many species of birds. Thank you Carole and Eric for keeping a well looked after lodge. Barbara Shearon. Stayed here 1st to 8th September

• "We enjoyed our week at Deer Lodge."

  The beds are comfortable and we all slept well. The lodge is fitted out to a high standard with regards to fixtures and fittings and furniture. I wish I could say the same about the kitchen equipment, there is very little with which to cook a meal. Whilst the oven and hob are great, the only items which could be used in the oven were a pizza tray, a small oven tray and a 12 hole muffin pan, nothing which you could roast a chicken or make a baked pasta dish for instance. There isn’t a washing machine or dryer and there is nowhere to dry wet clothes or beach towels. It is impossible to keep the Lodge clean as there is only a dust pan and small brush and what appears to be a car vacuum cleaner that doesn’t keep a charge, so I apologise if we didn’t leave the floor as clean and tidy as I would normally. Having said all that our 4 year old Granddaughter and the 2 of us had a lovely time at Deer Lodge.

  Sorry you found the kitchen equipment inadequate, I think you must have missed a supply of ceramic dishes in a cupboard that are suitable for the oven. It does not unfortunately have enough room for washing machine and dryer in the kitchen so I supply 2 drying racks, kept in main bedroom. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay.

• "The property is in a garden at the back of the house, the parking is on the front of the house and to access the lodge you walk down the side of the garage."

  The lodge is in its own fenced off area. Inside it is mostly comfortable apart from the settee which is very saggy and could be in need of replacing. The beds were very comfortable as was the outside sitting area. The Lodge was clean and tidy although we found there could have been more equipment in the kitchen, things missing included washing up sponge, measuring jug, oven trays, torch, ice cube tray, only one tea towel, brush and dustpan or sweeping brush. Although the description said there was a gas bbq it was not there. A welcome pack would have been nice, maybe a cake, some milk or bottle of wine etc. Things we loved, lovely shower and bath, plenty of hot water, the lodge was lovely and warm obviously well insulated, we loved the outside sitting area, the king sized bed was very comfortable, it was also very quiet and we could sit and watch the birds, rabbits and occasional deer. The TV was a good size. We would definitely come back to the lodge to stay again but based on our experience of a lot of Sykes cottages we feel it just needs a few things tweaking and it would be 10/10.

  Thank for your comments. I will look at providing further kitchen equipment. The setee is of good quality and the cushions are all feather filled and because of this you do sink into them. To sort out the problem I have had sponge inserts put into the base cushions to raise it and stop the cushions from sagging. Due to the wet weather we have put bbq under cover. A hand held electric hoover is always in the cabin along with a torch. Property Owner

• "We loved the lodge but the sofa unfortunately was really uncomfortable and it made relaxing at night an issue."

  We loved how attentive you were when we didn't have WiFi because it broke. I have two autistic children and youngest who is severe really didn't cope well which was upsetting on our first couple of days. However. The owners couldn't do enough to address the issue and they were really kind and very understanding of my youngest and his additional needs. We would come back. Xx

  Thanks for your comments. The sofa has been mentioned a couple of times so we have had foam inserts to replace the feathers in the base cushions. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely week at Deer Cottage."

  Good location and peaceful setting where you can see the deer most days at the bottom of the garden. Spotlessly clean. Only downside was not having WiFi and the pathway to the property is very slippery when wet but other than that Deer Cottage is a great place to stay.

  Thank you for your comments. The Wi-Fi is now working it was a technical issue that has now been resolved, however with the country location the speed is not the best but is available. Property Owner

• "Very enjoyable stay at Deer Lodge."

  Nice and quiet stay. Clean and well kitted out Short drive to the North Bridlington beach and slightly further to Flamborough Head. Small nitpicking that soap was provided in the main bathroom but not in the ensuite. Also to find the WiFi password had to look on the base of the router and it has a loose connection. Two small points all completely outweighed by the positives of Deer Lodge. Would definatly stay again. The pub round the corner serves lovely meals but is very busy and you cannot book a table so go early and be prepared to wait for the fresh meals to be prepared

• "The lodge is in a perfect location to explore the surrounding area."

  It's a very quiet and peaceful place to be, the only sounds you ever really hear are the birds singing. Inside the lodge is tastefully decorated and has everything you should need for your stay there. The one thing that really lets it down is the sofa. It is in desperate need of replacing - it's far too big for the space and is really uncomfortable to sit on for any period of time

  We loved watching the deer play in the field in the mornings. This was very special to us as my daughter and I stayed the night before my wedding. We had hair and makeup done there on the morning with 7 of us there there was plenty of room. My husband and I stayed for our wedding night too. The lodge is beautifully kept with the perfect sofa for chillin in front of the fire. It is both modern yet cosy. Thank you for a wonderful stay

  The lodge itself was nice but sadly lacking.....settee most uncomfortable kitchen utensils needs... oven safe dishes mixing bowls potato masher jug washing up bowl fish slice fruit bowl sweeping brush. No toilet brush or bin in en suite......empty hand wash....no cleaning products we like to leave the property clean as required....kettle needs descaling. most of these small things could easily be rectified. We do not need glorified over the top products just normal everyday things to make life easy. Even though in the owners garden no hello or goodbye......a welcome is always nice.

  Good facilities, comfy beds. Two bathrooms is a bonus. The Lodge is clean, modern, and so quiet and peaceful. It is well placed for exploring the east coast whether you're walking, cycling or driving. Two pubs within walking distance and an award winning fish and chip shop about a mile away. There is parking available on the owners shared driveway, we parked two cars there. It is approximately 35 yards from the drive to the Lodge which is in the owners back garden. Access is via a private walkway at the side of the owners house. Had a perfect break, would definitely recommend and stay again.

• "Had a wonderful week’s holiday staying at Deer Lodge."

  The lodge itself was clean, and welcoming on arrival and had everything you could need for a ‘home from home’ (although this doesn’t do it justice, because it’s actually nicer than our home!) I loved sitting out on the decking (which is private and peaceful) in the evenings once the kids were asleep. The lodge is also ideally located for exploring the surrounding areas and is only a short walk to Sewerby Hall & Gardens where you can also board the land train into Bridlington. Would definitely recommend this lovely lodge to anyone considering a holiday on the Yorkshire coast.

• "The lodge was cute, clean and had everything you could want."

  If you are taking elderly relatives or disabled I would say the path to the lodge may be challenging. I changed my booking from 7th July to September as I felt at that time it was not safe to take my elderly Mother. Getting hold of Sykes to do this was very difficult they very kindly let me off the £30.00 admin fee to change but the price for the September week was just over £300.00 I paid £500.00 for two days, I feel we were robbed, no one should gain from Covid-19!

• "Before we booked this cabin, we rang and asked how far away from the front door of the cabin could we park the car."

  We were told we could park directly outside the front door. This did not prove to be true. The car needed to be parked 35 yards away at the front of the house, then you had to walk down a narrow passage way to the door of the cabin. The from door is also higher than the recommened high from the door step. Both my wife and myself are classified as disabled. My wife has COPD, and I have walking and breathing problems due to a heart condition. Moving our luggage, and returning with supermarket shopping proved difficult to us both. Informing people of facts which are not true is dishonest, bad business practice, and a criminal offence. Perhaps you should be more honest with people when they book with you.
