Griff Lodge

A comfortable and clean house in a charming, unspoilt village street.

Helmsley, Rievaulx Abbey and the Yorkshire Moors are nearby. The sea is not too far.

Great cottage in a lovely village.

Clean and comfortable throughout. Well equipped and good off road parking. Owner kept me fully informed on various matters and was easily contacted with a query.

Stunning property with every comfort in a wonderful village and local pubs.

Owner so helpful and great communication. This felt like a real home from home which we would recommend to anyone.

This property has the potential to be fabulous but a couple of things let it down.

The towels provided were very basic, small, thin and hard. These could be replaced easily. The mattress in the front bedroom was uncomfortable and added with the very low height of the bed, made this an unpleasant sleep for one of the guests. The rear extension to the property is so lovely and such a nice space to be in. It would have been great if you had a small sofa or couple of soft chairs to sit and relax in this room rather than just the large dining table. One bed, the sofas, and the toilet are very low in height. I think you should make this clear in your property description as it is difficult for someone with mobility issues to transfer with low heights, e.g. getting in and out of the bed, on and off the sofa, and on and off the toilet. The location is great and close to everything we wanted to experience. All in all, it was an enjoyable stay but the issues mentioned above would put me off returning.

On arrival on a cold December afternoon the cottage was warm and welcoming.

The cottage was clean and tidy with all that we needed. Wonderful cottage in a lovely location to explore the North Yorks Moors.

This is a super cottage, newly decorated and furnished in a high-quality modern style.

The beds are comfortable and the location is in a quiet, pretty village. It is suitable for one or two couples or those with an older child. Although on one level, it is not suitable for wheelchair users due to a very narrow bathroom. The rest of the cottage is spacious, though. We found the Wifi signal was a bit up and down, possibly due to the location. It would be good to have a few more instructions in the property in the information folder on things like bin connections, recycling etc. I'm sure this will be rectified in due course. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend wholeheartedly.

Lovely cosy cottage very clean and comfortable Would definitely recommend

We booked a last minute stay at Griff Lodge for 7 nights and we couldn't fault it.

The owner was in contact to let us know how to get in the property and any other help we needed whilst we were there. It was a very comfortable homely property with comfortable beds (which are hard to come by in my experience) We loved the dining area with bi-folding doors giving us that feeling of being outside whilst eating meals. It really was a lovely, quiet base for us to explore the surrounding areas with our 2 children and we didn't want to leave when our stay was over!

Met Des, the owner of the cottage, who was very friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously and would have no hesitation in recommending his property.

Great place; great space, good facilties, everything you would need.

All thoughfully put together. Nice to have off-road parking as well. Locaion ideal.

A lovely cottage, clean and well equipped absolutely perfect for our mountain biking at Dalby nearby.

The cottage is in a lovely village, only a few miles from Helmsley and a supermarket.

Very peaceful and relaxing, the pub is within easy walking distance. We appreciated the Owner's mention that the transmitter for the television and radio was out of action due to a fire so we had no TV, however in the main room, there was a fire stick connection. So all was not lost watched lots of catch-ups. Just one recommendation the front bedroom would benefit greatly by the addition of a small set of drawers and a mirror. also, a little landscaping to disguise the oil tank. These are not critiques as we had a lovely time.

We had a really good time.

The cottage was in a lovely little village and didn’t take long to get used to the area. Felt like a home from home

A lovely property in a quiet village.

Easy contact with the owners and the property was ready earlier than expected. New towels and a bath mat would be my only feedback to make a future stay perfect . Thank you

Felt the cottage was not as clean as I would have liked.

Oven needed a good clean. Lacking in some basics- only half a toilet roll, no kitchen roll, welcome pack consisted of a bottle of water, no logs for the log burner (most places provide an initial supply). On the plus side, good TVs and CD players, beds fairly comfortable, pretty front garden. Would have liked to be able to adjust the heating ourselves instead of having to contact the owner to do it remotely. Lacking decent table and chairs in the back garden. Back garden could do with improving. Fabulous dining room with bi-fold doors looking on to a lawn edged with weeds and an ugly oil tank! Could be improved with not a lot of effort or money. Just saying...

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location being so close to The Star Inn and The Pheasant, the only thing I would recommend is some comfortable outside seating in the garden, the wether was glorious whilst we were there but nowhere to sit outside in the sun apart from a wooden bench, a recommendation rather than a criticism!
