  So I wish I could include photos here as you would never stay in this cottage and unlikely to stay in a Sykes accommodation again.

  You needed a 4x4 to travel up the drive my car bottomed out several times with the potholes. Outside lights not working couldn’t see a thing, slippery decking slope couldn’t see key safe ridiculous. First initial impressions when entering were very positive, nice space and well laid out.and a welcome food pack Then… handle on the kitchen cupboard fell off, I noticed the floor kick board was kicked in. So the en-suite bathroom, the toilet was dirty,, I mean black stains and residue on the toilet seat, there was mould all over shower tray, water would not drain and after inspection found full of hair, shower glass filthy, shower extractor fan seemed poor under inspection clogged with dust. Main bathroom, the bath panel was kicked in, skirting rotted with damp, chrome filthy. Bedroom 3 with two singles, we used a cot, but both beds had broken slats so fell through when sat on them to dress the baby. I have phots of all this. Asked owner for assistance with outside lighting as it was dangerous his comment still on my phone was, “we had the opposite our lights on all night”,not what I wanted to hear. He came round and asked if all good with the property, it was New Year’s Eve and rather than cause a scene as I was so angry and upset and not in the best of moods and my partner didn’t want me to have a confrontation with him so I said all Ok, I wish I had shown him round I’m sure he would not have believed his eyes. Contacted Sykes sent them the photos, thought there might be compensation, a written apology. What a joke……… i

  This is potentially an excellent property in a superb location for exploring York and North Yorkshire.

  However, we identified a number of issues that need to be addressed before we could recommend it to our friends or family, as follows: - It was extremely difficult to locate the property in the dark, as the lights on the gates were not in operation and we could not see the litter bin as it was small and black. - The drive was in a state of disrepair due to potholes and an uneven surface. - The parking spaces were sufficient for two cars but were extremely difficult to manoeuvre into due to the trees on the drive. - Ensure that you have provisions when you arrive, as there is no welcome pack of milk, etc, and the local shop closes relatively early! We had to go to Tesco, which is about 6 miles away. - The fridge was very small and did not have the milk bottle holder, as it was missing from the door, which made storage for 5 people very difficult. - There was only enough washing up liquid for one lot of washing-up!! - There was a hole in the lounge wall that looked unsightly. - The sofas were very uncomfortable, with no foot-stools - The shower head in the communal bathroom seemed to have some sort of bag tied around it. - All the beds were very uncomfortable and the mattresses in the Premier Inn we stayed in on the way up were luxurious in comparison. - The en-suite bathroom door could not be properly shut as there was a gap of about 3", which meant that there was no possibility of privacy. - The Highwayman Pub is the only place to eat locally and it is very good. However, it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

  This is a fabulous lodge, in an excellent location.

  We were so lucky to have found it, it made our stay in North Yorkshire perfect. It was well situated to reach all the places we wanted to visit. It was spacious, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It had the comfiest beds I've ever slept in. The whole lodge had a touch of luxury about it from the lovely soft carpets in the bedrooms, the chandeliers, the modern kitchen and ensuite bathrooms to the hot tub ( the only point about the hot tub we did have was it could have been a bit bigger, as we are all really tall people). The terrace area at the back was completely private and the view to the hills lovely. My daughter loved watching the rabbits and pony in the field behind us. The lodge park is gated and safe for children to play. It it situated behind a pub called The Blackwell Ox Inn, which is a great little place, with a beer garden. It mainly serves excellent Thai food, but also has other options. The pub is quite busy, but that had no impact on the lodge as it was situated just far enough away for it to be still quiet and tranquil. It was good to have somewhere to pop in after a day out, if you want to. The staff were really friendly. We would definitely recommend this place to stay.

  Superb location, well positioned for the east coast of Yorkshire.

  Close to Pickering. Very nice pub in the beautiful village of Cropton about 10 minutes walk. The Lodge itself is very clean and spacious in a very quiet but due to the trees dark location. Bedrooms are big enough but the double beds are too small for me and my wife but a King size would probably be too big for the rooms. Bed was hard and my wife found it very uncomfortable. Adequate wardrobe space. Bathroom is a wet room which is ok but took some clearing up after a shower as the water always escapes. The shower head clamp does not fit which needed some modification with a sponge cloth to make it useable. The Kitchen was very well equipped with Dish washer, good oven, and plenty of utensils. No washing machine which was disappointing. Lounge kitchen diner was very spacious and the furniture in very good order. All in all a pleasant stay but due to beds would not use again.

  If you want peace and quiet come here, the lodge is set in beautifully maintained gardens with lovely views across fields next to a wildlife pond with a balcony.

  The inside is very spacious with two double sized bedrooms an on suite and main bathroom, it was very clean throughout we thought we were the first guests as it all seemed so new, the owner was very nice and said if we had any special requests he would organise them for us and that he was a chef and could cook for us a special meal if we wished which sounded very tempting. We also had milk from the farm, bread and butter, tea and coffee, and plums and apples from the trees. The double bed was quite firm but for us it was okay. We visited Castle Howard and the Walled Gardens at Scampston which we actually preferred, Malton is worth visiting if you are a foodie. We also walked both bays along the seafront at Scarborough and through Peasholm Park. In summary a great all round experience and we may well return
