"A very well presented lodge with all the essentials supplied."
The welcome pack(treats) were welcome well.
The overall presentation of the lodge was superb. The bedrooms were very nice and comfy. We were amazed at how good the wifi was also when we needed it.
Everything you need and don’t think you did need was supplied absolutely outstanding.
As a family the lodge and its location was outstanding!
would highly recommend this lodge.
There are lots of places around to visit. but when you come back after a busy day to such a lovely lodge makes it feel like home from home.

"Lovely lodge enjoyed our stay only nibble was the tv over the bath does not work the wife was looking forward to bathing in front of the tv and was disappointed it was not working."
The keycode given for the pedestrian gate does not work we had to reach round and press the button to open it. Overall great lodge and definitely will stay again
Good Afternoon Lee, Thank you for the overall positive feedback, but would like to offer our apologies for the television in the en-suite bathroom not working. We have now sorted this (it related to a change to the area's mast coverage), but thank you for flagging it. Best Regards, Andrew

"On Thursday 9th November 2023 at approximately 10."
15pm there was a power cut, which lasted until 11.15am on Friday 10th November 2023. During those 12 hours, apart from obviously having no lighting, we had no heating, no hot water and no means with which to make a hot drink. There was a torch in the lodge but the batteries were flat. As it was November, the lodge was freezing. We went up to the Reception area on Friday morning to speak to someone and there was no one there. We didn’t hear anything at all from the site owners/staff regarding what was happening and when the electricity was likely to be switched back on. We had to ring the energy provider, Northern Powergrid to find out what the situation was. I’m afraid this is totally unacceptable. We should have been kept informed. I am now looking to you for compensation for the time we were without electricity, as you did not provide basic amenities, as specified in your holiday details, for 12 hours.

"Outstanding lodge everything about it is fantastic."
Location is perfect for walks down to Runswick Bay. The welcome hamper was fantastic and all the extra touches around the lodge for us to use so we can begin our holiday straight away. The only thing we could have used was an extra key as our family at times wanted to go separate places but couldn’t if the other went out earlier and had the key. The parking permit is a lovely thing but wasn’t sure where or how to use this, it would be very useful if instructions were added to the information folder and much appreciated for those who don’t understand how they work. The lodge was so clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated throughout. Please don’t take the two things above as a negative it would just have been even better for our stay. Anyone considering this beautiful lodge won’t be disappointed. Didn’t want to come home it was that relaxing. Lots of thoughtful touches from the owners throughout the lodge. Just love it all.

"The lodge was excellent, having stayed on the park before we knew what to expect."
I was nervous with the cream carpet with a dog in Feb but weather was excellent and I think all was good. Maybe better instructions on how to find the lodge, it was dark when we arrived and didn't know if it was the 1st or 2nd gate apologies if its something we missed in the correspondence. Overall brilliant lodge, excellent area and I'm sure not long before we are back again.

"We had a thoroughly enjoyable few days at Rockpool Retreat."
The site is easy to find and first impressions are excellent. Being low season we were only one of two occupied lodges so it was wonderfully quiet.
The lodge itself is well equipped and comfortable and there was a nice welcome basket provided on arrival with the basics. Our first impression was actually, this actually looks better than the pictures! Our only criticism is that the master en-suite bedroom has a full height window and ridiculously thin curtains, they may as well have not been there for how useful they are. A black out blind or a thick thermal curtain would make a huge difference.
The local area is nice, it's a tiny village though and given it's location it's very seasonal. When we went the local pubs/restaurants/take aways and even those in the next village were closed outside Friday/Weekend so keep that in mind if your intention is to go out. Runswick Bay itself is a very pretty little area, there is a road down to the beach but unless you're comfortable with walking up VERY steep hills, take the car down there.
We stayed with our dog and the site is really well located for going on nice walks. If you go outside the gates and turn right you are very quickly into open fields and you have access to the Cleveland Way foo path that can take you for miles in either direction, aside from a few walkers we didn't see another soul.
There is an Aldi/Lidl/Asda all within a 15 minute or so drive and slightly closer there's a BP garage near scaling dam with a really well stocked shop attached.
We'll definitely be returning, would be nice to be able to make use of the provided BBQ next time!
Dear Ben,
Thank you for your feedback, and really happy to hear you enjoyed your stay.
In relation to your comment on the master bedroom curtains, we have recently installed blinds to all the bedroom windows, behind the curtains. We also enjoy staying at the property and they now help on those sunny Runswick mornings! Look forward to welcoming you back at some point in the future and hopefully making use of the BBQ!

Thank you for the welcome basket which was a lovely surprise. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The only thing I would change is the curtains in the bedrooms-they were far too thin and let so much light in it woke us all up early.
Also we couldn't get the TV in the bathroom to display any channels.
