  We stayed at Lavender Lodge and arrived to find a welcome basket with an assortment of tea, biscuits and cherry wine.

  The facilities were first rate and included a freezer, washer/dryer, vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, tea towels, cleaning products and even an iron and ironing board. All the rooms were a good size and the cleanliness was excellent as was the level of maintenance, the decorating was to a high standard as was the choice of furnishings. The outdoor space was big enough to stretch out on and it was fully enclosed which was great for keeping the dog from wandering off, although he spent a good deal of time sitting stock still and eyeing up the peacocks that strutted around the grounds. With regards to the location, you are surrounded by trees with the gothic spires of the Rushpool Hotel visible through the foliage. There is a lovely wooded walk which makes for a pleasant first thing and last thing dog walk. Just down the road from the main entrance (turn right and it's just before the island) there is a public footpath that will take you down to Skelton Beck and from there you have a massive choice of paths to take you into Saltburn-by-the-Sea and/or its gardens. In the coffee table drawer you'll find a good variety of pamphlets showing you what activities, attractions etc. are available to you locally or a bit further afield. As far as any cons to this holiday lodge are concerned... the Rushpool Hotel specialises in hosting weddings/receptions and so you can expect some noise from parties, but it was never excessive and it never went on too late. And that's it really apart from wanting to cook something in the oven and being Aga users we were a bit stumped until we had a look through the Grey Folder of Knowledge and found instructions. We would highly recommend a stay here if you are looking for a well presented, clean and fresh lodge in quiet, wooded surroundings with plenty of things to do in the surrounding area.

  Lovely lodge.

  Lovely location. Lots of wildlife. Lodge was clean, good quality appliances. Lovely complimentary basket of goodies. This was very much appreciated. Lovely wedding venue can be seen from the lodge. Lovely architecture to enjoy. There was a wedding each day we were here. Lots of people enjoying themselves. Low noise and no hassle to people staying in lodges. We did find a squashed spider on the utility room floor which had just been left there. The decking and railings were very much covered in cobwebs, dry leaves, sandy footprints and dry grass. We cleaned areas before we used them. There are some maintenance issues with the lodge. For example there are cracks in the bedroom wall in various places around plasterboards. Also some of the door frames could do with caulk putting over the cracks. These are minor issues and are from the materials drying and expanding etc. may bother some people though, so may be good to keep on top of. While we were there the gardeners cut the grass around the lodge as well as the main oval. Friendly people. They did a good job and left no mess.

  Spotlessly clean and very cosy and welcoming.

  Love the touches like the pretty cushions and pictures on the wall. Everything there you would need for a lovely break. Location is fabulous for getting out and about too. We took our dog with us too, and it worked well for us. With it being end of October we took clothes etc for all weather, and that is the one thing that would have been tricky if we had got soaked in terms of where to hang things to dry off. We definately will go again. It does say sleeps 4 (pull out sofa bed) but I would say you wouldn't want 4 adults, but would work if two were youngish children or younger teens, as I think they would love the novelty of the Pod. Which, to be honest, was why I picked it too, being a bit of a kid at heart. Our first holiday taking our rescue dog, not sure how she would settle, but she loved exploring when we walked her round the site. If we had been staying longer and weather had been better, we would have used the footpath at the back of the site to walk to Hornsea and the beach

  Excellent location and hot shower but everything else is poor.

  No BBQ or fire pit as advertised on the property listing. Could not light the stove as fuel provided would not light even with fire lighters and kindling. So not able to boil kettle for hot drink or heat the tent. This meant very cold nights. No welcome folder with instructions on how to work stove etc or who to contact for help. Would have been nice to have had some info about local area too. Bedding was stained. Poor attention to detail such as would be nice to have some hooks in shower area to hang clothes and towels, sink is too small to be able to fill bottles etc from tap. Description on website says electric heater which gives impression that there is electricity. There is but no sockets available for phone charging or hair dryer etc. This should be made clear on the description as well as no cooking facilities or cooking equipment. Overall a frustrating and cold weekend. Definitely camping not glamping.

  Firstly the lodge was lovely no problem with it at all .

  But my issues were the location as it is not near the beach it is not near anything. If you’ve got a car it’s fine but due to a serious accident I’m unable to drive so I came by train. It’s a long story but it was very upsetting when I saw the hill I’d have to go up to get there because I knew it was impossible for me . My sister and brother in law had to drive over from Leeds as I was stranded I couldn’t get a dog friendly taxi I couldn’t get a bus it was a complete nightmare with a heavy case my dog and only one properly working arm . I only stayed there for 2 nights as I felt completely isolated so it turned into an expensive holiday. I moved to another place that was next to the beach in Redcar which was perfect for us . If you want a lovely lodge in a peaceful location listening to the sounds of nature yes it’s perfect but if you haven’t got a car I wouldn’t recommend it .
