  • "On arrival we found the cabin warm, comfortable and a nice welcome pack."

    The setting was quiet, peaceful but only a few minutes away from the nearest town that had all the shops and different restaurants we needed and not too far away other places of interest, a pleasant distraction was the friendly peacocks that enjoyed being fed.

  • "Very comfortable lodge in a lovely quiet and peaceful setting."

    Everything was spotlessly clean. We had an excellent holiday thank you. Just one gripe - I know it was made very clear that this property had no dining table but we did find the swivel chairs and breakfast bar difficult. Perhaps a small fold away table and chairs could be placed under the window??

    We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Snowdrop Lodge. Perhaps a stay in one of the other Lodges next time if you prefer a Dining Table - there is only Lavender and Snowdrop which dont have one. Thank you again for your review. Property Owner

    Rooms comfortable spacious, great shower Beautiful grounds a hidden gem Lovely relaxing time certainly be back Only downfall no gate patio area to stop child/pet running out cooker hood very dusty, food left in cupboard

    Thank you for your review and would love to welcome you back. Our apologies re the cooker hood and cupboard we will speak to our housekeeping management company regarding this. We are currently looking to possibly adapting the metal fences to include gates as Bugle and Lavender balconies have proved popular. Property Owner

  • "These holiday homes are in a lovely peaceful setting, yet close enough to amenities but you do need to drive or use a taxi as the nearby roads don't have footpaths."

    It is an ideal base if you want to visit the north Yorkshire coast or the moors. My only gripe is that when we returned home I received an email saying I would be charged for damage we had caused, after querying this I was then told that the owners had closed the case down. As far as we can recall we did not cause any damage, but me and my wife are still feeling very anxious after the accusation. But I would still recommend Rushpool holiday homes for a break away. Ken

    We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. When housekeeping entered the Lodge the noticed you had not taken the linen off the beds etc as is required - there was vomit on one of the single beds, bed base and up the wall - we contacted Sykes in case the extent of the vomit had penetrated the mattress and what redress we had. We agreed with Sykes not to charge any costs as the damage did not extend more than extra time deep cleaning, we were unaware Sykes had already contacted you prior to our investigations being completed.

  • "The lodge is nice, in secluded grounds and all of the basics are to be had."

    We enjoyed our stay, the weather was kind and everyone was friendly. On the last day the hearing failed but the maintenance man came out quickly and sorted the problem out. A squirrel had gnawed through a pipe! There were only a few minor issues. (Listed below), we would definitely come back. 1. There is no path through the woods into Saltburn, instead you have to walk down a busy road for 15 minutes with no pavements. 2. The Wi-fi was a bit hit and miss and BBC channels on TV were unwatchable. 3. The lighting in the lodge was quite dim.

  • "A well positioned, well maintained, clean property with plenty of room."

    It suited our needs perfectly and is by far the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. Saltburn offered all we needed with a lovely beach and country park even a brass band playing on the bandstand. A most enjoyable holiday we shall certainly return at some point. Booking procedure and all communications were excellent.

  • "Everything regarding the lodge was very good."

    Only thing I would say would be the music noise coming from the hotel in the evenings after the weddings was a bit annoying going on to past midnight. we had this on the saturday and sunday.

    We can only apologise for the noise but it is out of our control and they work to a "local council led limit regarding noise levels" However the lodges on the far side of the park may be better suited as they are quieter. Hope it didn't spoil stay. Property Owner

  • "The cabin was not clean behind beds cobwebs and spiders; rubbish under beds; mattresses poor quality may as well have slept on floor."

    clearly had not been cleaned. Noise from wedding in hall loud til almost 2a.m. So access not good for disabled people specially if using wheelchairs. Being a disabled person disappointed as no facilities other than walks on grounds which were on some steep areas of grounds.

    Thank you for your feedback though we were surprised to read your comments.The comfort of mattresses can be subjective but we can reassure you that the mattresses are of the highest quality, however had you contacted us during your stay we would have been very happy to have tried to help. The property is not described as suitable for guests with limited mobility, if you have specific requirements the Reservations Team at Sykes would have been happy to advise you of the suitability of the property. We do apologise if you were disturbed by the wedding party at the nearby hotel, unfortunately this is beyond our control. As the property is located in ancient woodland, though the lodges are thoroughly cleaned between guests, spiders can enter the lodges and new webs created but again, had we been made aware of any issues we would have been more than happy to assist. We do hope the above points noted didn't spoil your weeks stay at Saltburn. Property Owner

    Snowdrop is advertised as being for 4 persons but there is no dining table and only 2 stools at the breakfast bar. Kitchen utensils were in short supply Overall a very enjoyable experience for 2 people

    Thank you for your review - Snowdrop is a very popular lodge as it is primarily available for 2 adults and 2 children - hence the 2 single beds and we found that most guests preferred to eat in the lounge whilst watching TV . If there were any utensils we had not thought of you should have given us a ring and we could have tried to accommodate you but we are glad it did not take from your enjoyment of the Lodge and the peace and quiet of the surrounding woodlands Property Owner

    The only small details that slightly bothered me was wear and tear in the lodge. One of the stools has a broken handle one of the chairs springs are gone with a small tear on it. And the last was while the lodge was clean you could see dust in the corners and around the edges. Even a pair of socks from previous people.

  • "We would very highly recommend the lodge we stayed in and the location."

    This was an absolutely stunning setting in a quiet peaceful location with stunning wooded pathways for dog walking and general relaxing strolls. The Lodge was warm and welcoming and had every amenity needed to make a wonderful comfortable stay. The furnishings and beds were super comfortable and clean. and the outside patio area idyllic for sharing a morning coffee or evening wine and chatting. The only reservation is bring an internet booster along as the wifi is rather slow, cellphone reception is great, just wifi for laptops etc is limited if say you had to do an hour two working during your stay you might struggle with the wifi speed. But that is a minor niggle, and the benefits hugely outweigh that small issue. The easy minute or two drive from the lodge to Saltburn by the Sea brings you to the beach and the pier and a wonderful collection of sea view restaurants, pubs and chip shops or to the magnificemt clifftop walks on the Cleveland way giving just stunning views over the bay. As you can see we are besotted and are missing it now we are home. We just have to visit again !

    The double bed matress was not very comfy nor the sofa in the lounge. You can walk through the woods to the town during the day. It would not be suitable at night as it is not lit. Our accomodation slept 4 but only had 2 chairs at the breakfast bar to sit at when eating so it needed a dining table and chairs. Eating your evening meal on your lap is not very practicle.

    With the chalets being pet friendly, a small enclosed patio or garden would be really helpful especially with younger dogs. The bedrooms are a very good size (we only needed one of two) and for us, it would have been better to have had a larger living/kitchen area and smaller bedrooms. Overall though, very good accommodation.

    Lovely grounds. We left a day and night earlier as we were informed, at very short notice, less than 3 hours, that there was going to be a prom night and cars would be parked near us as the car parks get full and if we needed to get out to go anywhere we would have to leave by 5.30. Nothing was mentioned at check in. As my wife suffers from severe anxiety and is fearful in crowded places where there is a lot of people, we felt we had little choice but to cut our holiday short. It was the gardener who told us and said it happens every year.

Now, I know we didn't book a hotel stay, but surely a "welcome" would have been nice followed by " oh, by the way, we have a function this weekend, so unfortunately......." The cottage was very cold on arrival - 2nd week in November and heating not on in preparation for our arrival. The state of some of the crockery and kitchen utensils was awful. I have a picture of the oven tray if you like - disgusting! Glass-ware and cutlery far from clean - not what I would have expected. The sofa in Snowdrop was most uncomfortable and should be replaced. Advertised broadband/wifi was very sketchy to say the least. Not usable most of the time and had to resort to data-roaming.
