  Just had a lovely midweek break at Rose Lodge.

  There are just 10 lodges on a small site just behind the Runswick Bay Hotel. They are nicely positioned so all are fairly private. There is a caravan park behind a hedge but we had no issue with noise. Most people like us had their dogs with them so there was a bit of barking when dogs heard or saw each other but it's a lovely peaceful location very close to the Cleveland Way if you like walking. The lovely little bay is 5-10 mins walk down a very steep hill. It was too steep for us to walk up (I think it would take 20 mins to walk up!) but there is a pay and display car park close to the bottom (free after 6.00pm). Rose Lodge was definitely the best lodge we have stayed in - probably helps that everything was still very new at the time of our stay but the furnishings and layout were excellent. The 4 person hot tub was lovely and in a private position. The beds were really comfortable. A useful addition would be black out blinds in the east facing main bedroom as sunrise is likely to wake you up early. The only negative we had was with the wi-fi which was really poor. Very easy to log on but the connection was continually lost. During our stay the central heating wouldn't seem to work. We followed the instructions but the heating wouldn't come on. We only needed it on one morning when there was no sun but didn't raise the issue at the time of our stay as we didn't need heating apart from that one morning. Hot water wasn't a problem as it is a combi boiler so instant water when you need it. Very useful having an ensuite and a bathroom both with showers. Highly recommend Rose Lodge and we would definitely like to return in the future.

  We returned to Paddock Lodges again this year after staying in Rose Lodge in August last year - we said we'd be back !

  !! Last year I got the impression that the lodges were brand new and fixtures and fittings matched accordingly. It is expected that there be some signs of ware and tear and general usage, but I felt that a few simple house keeping and maintenance practices could be utlilised to keep the lodge in top notch condition and match expectations. For example in Buttercup Lodge the fan in the ensuite shower room did not work and added to the fact that one of the window catches was broken so the window could not be opened to allow steam to escape this ended up in a foisty room, faded and stained shower mats, one of the dining room spot lights needed replacing, the clock needed a new battery, kitchen bin broken and some of the light bulbs in the hot tub needed to be replaced - none of these things are major but add up to a little feel of neglect. Also, the the pots and pans had literally been thrown into the cupboard I assume by the previous occupier, just a quick check from cleaning staff to make sure the cupboard was in order would be sufficient. These are small points which were just a little disappointing, overall the lodge was immaculately clean, beds clean and comfortable, garden furniture and hot tub excellent. The site is well kept and tidy. Overall a resounding recommendation, but paying attention to those little details will ensure such high standards

  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!

  A great lodge in a superb location at the top of Runswick Bay.

  There's a short but steep walk to the beach and the village is beautiful. The lodge itself was clean and we'll equipped. Situated in a very quiet, small site right next to the Cleveland Way path so good for dogwalkers. I haven't stayed anywhere with a hot tub before and was surprised that you can't turn them off, although we managed to turn it down. They're louder than I expected and switch on and off intermittently through the night. Probably only an issue for light sleepers but, along with the branches of the trees lashing against the roof on a few windy nights, we didn't sleep too well. I probably wouldn't choose a lodge with a hot tub again.

  Beautiful clean spacious lodges.

  Slight issue with the WiFi was immediately rectified. Regular maintenance staff around and were all friendly and helpful. Peaceful, clean location yet conveniently located near to the Runswick Bay hotel, which served simple, good quality delicious food. The wok chicken is very popular and the homemade chips are amazing! Be aware of the steep walk down to the bay, although there is limited parking if you get there early! The Lodge was perfect and dog friendly! The decked area with hot tub and seating meant you could easily spend a day relaxing at the Lodge. Would not hesitate to recommend!
