What our customers say about their holidays

  I firstly have to say that for the £300 for the three of us that stayed was good value.

  ..secondly if I had turned up in and or around the peak season paying upwards £700++ I would be severely disappointed, In general terms the holding looks very tired and slightly dated/needs a paint and done neatly as in various areas it is plane and visible to see, missed paint and general looks of a rush job. The plastering looks strange and only half skimmed type look/when pulling the cord for the extractor fan in the bathroom it almost pulls the casing and or fan off the ceiling/again the painting lets this area down/when the wind is blowing reasonably hard you cannot sleep as it's too noisy. The kitchen my friends told me [they arrived on the Sunday and me on the Monday] they had to basically clean the kitchen and especially the cooker area and it. there was food bits in and around the area, the fridge is dated and a little rusty/the frying pan fell apart when my friend was using it, there was another so used that...cutlery old and needs replacing a long with general food prep tools [knives were blunt etc for something decent and maybe a good chopping board]. Not really enough choice in glassware etc but it was enough. I would in the future if funds permitted get a slightly bigger TV for the lounge as it is a little bit too small nut adequate... I could not fault the layout of the grounds and very neat and tidy and the view was amazing...there is no facility for being eco friendly and recycling etc with bins...might be a thought for the future. The worst thing for me personally is that it stated it came with wifi...My friends cell phone coverage with their provider was excellent, unfortunately for me I had zero signal. They didn't need the wifi but for me there was almost zero wifi then whole entire time, I initially put it down to the weather but there was times with no wind and no rain and still nothing, may I advise a simple fix would be to put a repeater in the holding itself then it boosts the signal from their farm house [I am presuming that is the originating router for the wifi it's self. i would generally ask for some of the money back but as I said in the beginning for this time of year £100 each for a week is OK value but the general up-keep/cleaning and updating would need to happen if I was to come back in high season. If I'd turned up in summer I would be demanding a refund and leaving as for that amount of money it would definitely not pay a high price for. We saw your cleaners turn up next door to clean after some guests had left...one was in the car on her phone and the man was inside and the amount of time spent in there, I'm sorry but it wouldn't be enough time to do a thorough clean...I work in the ambulance service in London now but 15 years ago I worked in the private yachting and hotel business as a purser and butler, so I do know what a basic cottage should look to new guests coming in and at the same time not expecting what I used to perform but the basic's were not met as per advert sorry. But I want to highlight for this time of year good value and the grounds to the property immaculate but for high season I think a better standard could be achieved for little effort

  there was no mention AT ALL that you was unable to park near the property, the directions led you to believe you could park outside or very near the property. NO mention at all that you needed to collect a scratch card to enable you to park in certain zones, no directions where to park your car to do this, we called to speak to someone as was not happy we needed to walk quite a distance with our luggage and had to wait nearly an hour for a response and then it was only via txt not even a courtesy call. we then received an apology for the lack of instructions, not the ideal way to start your holiday !! the website needs to state clearly the parking situation, especially if people are less mobile or have young children. If we had known we couldn't park outside our property we wouldnt have booked it. The outside very small courtyard with fake grass smelt (from previous dogs urinating we assume) it was so bad our dog wouldnt even go out there. The bed was very uncomfortable and the website photos certainly improve the look of the property. The outside terrace certainly would not have been an enjoyable small space to sit in surrounded by a high wall and buildings. All in all we have had much more enjoyable stays at other places.

  Just arrived home from last minute family get away staying in the Mayflower lodge.

  We literally booked the day we arrived and the whole process was great with no issues at all. We are a family of four and a dog, lodge was great for our needs, the only minor points I would note, two teenagers so small twin room but I guess that's typical of such lodges so didn't detract from my rating or enjoyment either, I also found the double bed springy but I think this must have been me as can't see this mentioned previously i marked comfort down only slightly, also the hot tub was great and lovely and hot on our arrival but it was small and there is no way all four of us would get in and be comfortable on a colder evening but we still enjoyed it and took it I turns, lol! Unlike previous comment no issues with the sliding shower screen, was able to take a shower no problem and it was a good hot and powerful shower. I would definitely recommend, location was great, enjoyed the lodge, wrap around decking, private hot tub area and importantly for us a gate so secure for the dog. Short walk to the lovely local bay and local pub on site, we had a meal one evening in the pub and spent a few hours in Whitby which was a short drive away one day. Lots of places to walk dog too around the lodge. Thank you for our stay!

  This is the second time we have stayed at Oak Lodge, and it was as exactly as we remembered it - perfect.

  The Lodge is in a beautiful and peaceful location and is spacious, spotlessly clean and well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils etc and the beds are very comfy. The hot tub is lovely, especially after a day of walking or exploring, we didn't even let a little rain shower deter us! The hot tub is cleaned between each guest too. There is a good range of dvds and some games provided, great if the weather isn't on your side or for a chilled day. There is a nice seating area outside with countryside views. The only suggestion would be for a little outside heater, although we did bring blankets for sitting outside. The welcome bottle of wine and chocolate was a lovely touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be back next year.

  We had the best stay at Stag Lodge, from a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us to Caroline answering any questions promptly.

  The lodge was beautifully decorated, warm and cosy! We loved the luxury of a hot tub, with a secluded area making it private as well as the use of the door to stop our dog from going too far out of sight! Our only feedback was that some chicken wire be added to the fences so smaller dogs can’t escape. Our dog didn’t attempt this which was good, but to fully relax, it would be an easy solution (which Caroline has already messaged to say she is going to do.) We will definitely be rebooking here. The location was brilliant and the fact our lodge wasn’t surrounded by others made it so peaceful - just what we needed! Thank you for letting us stay!
