  • "Thank you for such a lovely, warm and welcoming stay, the lodge is delightful with everything we needed and more!"

    The hamper and the flan were a fabulous surprise and enjoyed by all.

  • "A lovely easy week and a very handy location to be able to reach many places."

    A very comfortable lodge and very homely, and if you made the tart Louise, you should be on Bake Off!! Thank you.

  • "A wonderful well equipped and comfortable lodge, had everything we needed."

    A lovely quiet spot and beautiful views over the hills. Well placed for walks to Staithes and Sandsend, returning via excellent bus service ( which also took us to Whitby and Saltburn) Would recommend Whitby Museum, something for everyone; St Mary's Church; also fish and chips near Saltburn Pier. Not forgetting Fortune's kippers. Thank you Terry and Louise for being such great hosts.

  • "A great almost halfway house for both our families to meet."

    The cottage was great base for exploring - North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Saltburn, Whitby, Scarborough, Hole of Horcum... The Ellerby Inn was brilliant, definitely worth a trip out. Lobster Lodge was brilliant for all of our family and because the weather was kind, we managed to use the decking for meals especially as it had sunshine all day long!!! A fantastic stay, thank you we loved it.

  • "Lobster Lodge is truly lovely."

    It is well equipped, good quality furnishings, has more than enough storage and most importantly, comfy beds! The welcome basket, including treats for our dog, was a lovely touch and the mid-week fruit tart was delicious! This was our first visit to Runswick Bay and hopefully it won't be our last. Lobster Lodge at The Pines (which is an extremely quiet site) is the perfect base for exploring the East Coast between Saltburn and Robin Hoods Bay, each only being a short drive away. When we return, I would happily rebook to stay at Lobster Lodge; if I was to list any negatives, I would really be nit-picking! Thanks for providing such lovely accommodation.

    Thank you so much for such a positive review. We're really pleased you enjoyed your holiday & stay in Lobster Lodge. Property Owner

  • "Beautiful lodge in a very lovely part of the world."

    The lodge was incredibly well equipped, and maintained to a very high standard. The wrap around decking is fabulous, and on a sunny day there is ample space to relax with the family. The kitchen is well resourced, with plenty of good quality pots, pans and utensils. Lots of love for the fantastic American style fridge-freezer, and super fast toaster! :) Special mention has to go to the bunk bedroom - a massive hit with our 10 year old. Such a wonderful space :) The water pressure is superb so the showers are hot and powerful. Plenty of parking, with enough space to house two cars comfortably. The lodge is dog friendly, and our black lab loved it. And, unlike alot of dog friendly places, the standard of cleanliness and quality of the furnishings has not been compromised; it's very clean, and well maintained. Terry and Louise clearly look after their property and are close by if you need anything, including the delivery of a very delicious mid week treat! :) We had a lovely week at Lobster Lodge, even though it rained. Alot. We'll definately be back soon :)

    Thank you so much Samantha for such a positive review ....we really appreciate it and we're pleased you all enjoyed your holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

  • "We had a fantastic week at Lobster Lodge over Easter."

    We have stayed at The Pines before in a different lodge so we knew what to expect and Lobster Lodge was perfect for our needs. The children loved the bunk bedroom and I found the beds really comfy and the lodge was always lovely and warm despite the cold and rain outside! Huge sofa in the lounge so plenty of space and the kids loved the games and jigsaws that were in the lodge. It would have been nice to have things like tea, coffee, sugar, cling film and tin foil provided. We did get a lovely hamper when we arrived but this would have been a useful touch. The hoover in the property didn't work which isn't ideal when we had a dog with us and we also found a false nail in the bathroom and some dried contact lenses on the floor in the bedroom so I would have liked to run the hoover round myself! There were tupperware lids but no boxes which would have been useful for when we took a picnic out with us but again we made do. The kitchen units were a bit clunky to open but we got the hang of it. The door tread in the bathroom was loose and the shelf in the childrens room wasn't secure and fell off whilst we were there! Overall just a few minor touches which could easily be fixed and wouldn't put us off a return visit. We would love to come back to the lodge again!

    Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you had a lovely stay and Easter family break. Thank you for bringing the above points to our attention. As you know this is self catering accommodation, we did provide an Easter themed Hamper and we also have a coffee machine and coffee pods left for you. We will look into getting some more Tupperware’s for the lodge. The hoover was working however it just needed charging, but we apologise if the cleaner missed something. We have now fixed the shelf and door tread- thank you for bringing this to our attention- If you had contacted YCC during your stay they would have arranged for these to have been sorted at the time. Thank you for your feedback, we have taken it all on board and we hope to welcome you again soon. Property Owner

    The owner goes above and beyond the call of duty and is a pleasure to deal with. We were a group of 5 (mix of 70-80 years old and a couple of young uns in their 40s!) Beds were comfortable. Location is lovely. Short stroll to the beach (although it's extremely steep!), to part of the Cleveland Way and nearby pubs. Also a great "base" for jumping in the car and exploring further afield. Thoroughly recommend!

  • "Absolutely lovely place to stay."

    Runswick Bay itself is very quiet but ideally located to explore North Yorkshire. We had a food shop delivered by both Tesco and Sainsburys (both fine). The owner does check in on your arrival to ensure that everything is ok and will recommend things that are of interest to you. The owner does also mow the lawns whilst you are there. The Runswick lodge area is very quiet. Not recommend for people that are looking for lively holiday.
