  A fabulous lodge in a beautiful spot.

  After a very long journey from South Wales, arriving at the beautifully clean, well-equipped Lodge was a relief and the wonderful hot tub helped us to relax immediately and the get the holiday started!! The welcome package was a lovely surprise too and much appreciated. The high quality smart TV and hot tub were lovely little luxuries whilst all the necessities were met with clean rooms, clean bedding and towels, iron and board, plenty of storage and a well- equipped kitchen. We stayed for a week and the owners were extremely responsive. They could be seen on site and any questions were answered very quickly via phone and/or text - very helpful and friendly. Runswick Bay is a beautiful spot. The beautiful beach was only a short walk away but for those with any accessibility should be aware that the hill to the beach is extremely steep. But there is a car park at the bottom of the hill if you need it. The beach and village is well worth a visit and the climb! The lodge is very well placed for trips to Staithes, Sandsend, Whitby and further afield. The local buses travelled to these places regularly and the bus stops are right outside the site. If you enjoy walking, the coastal path is pretty much on your doorstep and well worth a trek for beautiful views. We day tripped to York by train which I would highly recommend, rather than driving! We drove to Yarm Station, about 30 mins away, and had an easy train ride into the centre of York. We had a wonderful week and I would highly recommend Honeysuckle Lodge at Paddock Lodges.

  Just a mini break from the kids.

  A small basement appartment in walking distance of 2 beautiful fishing villages sounded perfect. On arrival we were greeted by a picnic basket containing fresh baked Soda bread and fruit scones with home made jam and fresh picked flowers from the garden in every room. What a warm and thoughtful welcome. The apartment is small and neat and extremely cosy. I wanted to bring the big brass bed home with me. The most comfortable sleep Ive had in ages. The kitchen is well equipped for all your needs and everything is beautifully maintained. Lunch and breakfast in the garden at the rear of the building where there is a picnic table. Lovely neighbours who are happy to share their knowledge of the area. Neither my husband or I drive so been on the main bus route for this part of the North Yorkshire coast was a god send. Trips to Staithes Harbour, Runswick Bay and Whitby were all achieved via the regular half hourly X4 bus. The village is lovely with lots of history, very friendly locals and a small shop and coffee shop in walking distance. Woodland walks with a babbling stream make this destination very picturesque if you appreciate the simple things in life. If you want a cosy romantic weekend break for two I can't recommend The apartment at Mulgrave House enough. There are other self contained appartments for let in the main house above so if you have an extended family but like your privacy, then Mulgrave House would be perfect as a multi booking. I highly recommend it.

  This is a wonderful part of the world and Ellerby was a great place from which to explore it.

  We (a 3-generational family celebrating a Special Birthday) found The Old Dairy to be just perfect for us. The kitchen is a great size for all to gather in during the day, likewise the lounge in the evening. It was extremely, clean, comfortable and full of everything one could wish for - great kitchen equipment, lovely books and toys for the children to use and the Welcome Hamper and flowers were much appreciated. It was obvious that great attention to detail had been paid to the property. The garden was also a bonus with beautiful far reaching views to the sea. As well as doing a couple of good walks, we also explored Runswick Bay, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby. The Magpie Cafe in Whitby didn't accept dogs but Abbey Wharfe (on the other side of the river) did and the food was great. The neighbours were particularly friendly and we really enjoyed our visits to the Ellerby Inn where the food was great and we were made to feel very welcome. All in all we had a perfect week (even the weather was pretty good for February!). Thank you Sarah, Richard and family.

  My Word...

  such a well appointed holiday home in a tranquil setting, we have enjoyed every single minute. Loved exploring around Runswick Bay, it hasn't changed much in 70 years (although we have!) Sansdend beach is fabulous and taking the hydraulic cliff lift down to the pier in Saltburn was certainly worth the journey. Boating on the river in Ruswarp and riding the toy train indelighted my 2 year old granddaughter Skye. We drove over the purple heather around the North York Moors to the Mallyan Spout Waterfall in Goathland, certainly worth the trectourous descent over large boulders to see the spectacular gushing waterfall. Being Food Conscious, the Home Stead Kitchen close to the Mallyan Spout was excellent (you need to book)as was a very small restaurant called No. 20 in a village house in port Mulgrave, both with talented chefs. Robin Hoods Bay remains the same and the Falling Foss Tea Garden at Midge Hall was a lovely discovery. A Happy Holiday At The Old Dairy Thank you

  The lodge was lovely and clean, in a quiet setting.

  We thought a blackout blind would be better in the bedrooms as the light woke us up very early, a pity the wash basins were so small, but the shower was amazing! Excellent water pressure. Also a privacy screen/higher fence opposite the hot tub would be better as it looked onto next doors window and didn’t feel private but the hot tub was fabulous. On the last day one of the crew said it was ok for me to use the camping field to exercise our dog I wish I had known this on arrival, maybe it could be put in the guest book or a sign on the fence. (Which he did say they were going to do) We had a lovely relaxing dog friendly break with lots of walking and exploring.
