What our customers say about their holidays

  The lodge was absolutely lovely, comfortable and very clean.

  We were looking for peace and tranquility, which we definetly found here. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub and views great. A few things which could be looked at, but probably none that would stop us booking again. One issue which really need looking into is the fridge, it is quite noisy during night ( which kept me awake) and the ice box was so full of ice we couldn't get anything in it. The outside seats really need varnishing, they're not a very welcoming first impression. There are no cooking utensils eg: spatula or scissors etc. and only two sideplates. Two of the coffee mugs are so badly marked inside, they need replacing. I really hope these issues will be dealt with, especially the fridge. It would really help to enhance a stay. We took our frying pan, as a review said the one provided was too small, unfortunately the pans don't work, the hob only comes on when the heavy pans provided are used. We took our Cosori which cooks most things as we knew there was no oven. A full length mirror on the back of bathroom door or wardrobe door would be a bonus. I like to be honest in reviews and feel sure Syke cottages would want to know of any concerns so they can be rectified.

  The good: - Great location for Malham and the Pennine Way - Lots of space in living areas and two of the bedrooms - Clean The bad: - Lacking some basics (scissors in the kitchen; saucepans big enough to cook basics for 4) - Very small and compromised bathrooms - In poor state of repair in places (large glass shower door held on with silicone, and fell off; bad smell from drains; TVs in bedrooms not working) - Layout of outdoor space leads to a total lack of privacy in garden (which is shared with the neighbouring cottage). For example, the Hot Tub is placed just a few feet from the one belonging to the neighbouring cottage, meaning no privacy if the neighbours use theirs at the same time. (Especially so if you have neighbours who spend their time smoking, drinking, swearing, shouting and arguing in the hot tub!) We eventually cut our stay short and came home a day early. The owner did offer a partial refund, reflecting some of these issues, but this has never materialised and he has since stopped answering messages asking him to honour his promises.

  Me, my partner and our dog had a lovely stay!

  We got out of the stay exactly what we were looking for. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome, everyone spoke to us and we even joined in playing pool and darts. If I’m honest we stopped in a chalet and we both agreed we’d come back to the site but stop in a caravan next time. The chalets are nice but they do lack cooking facilities and a bit more space when you have a pet too. It was not very warm and we did struggle to dry our clothes, however it was March and poor weather. Could not fault the bed and the comfort of the mattress 10/10. The shower was lovely and the hot tub beautiful. Lovely touch having the robes provided too. We made some great friends in the bar and they made our stay! It’s a lovely base for visiting local areas, we went to Scarborough, Whitby and Filey during our stay. There is also great walks from the site, which we loved and made the most of. Thank you Snooty Fox, we will hopefully see you again soon.

  We’ve had a lovely 2 night break in Willow lodge.

  The lodge itself has everything you could need and is immaculately clean. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure and temperature in the showers was great. Fresh towels and crisp bedding provided. The location is fantastic, a couple of miles from the centre of Whitby and a short walk to a great pub. There is a park and ride and petrol station close by. We really enjoyed the hot tub, which again was immaculately clean and set to a great temperature for arrival. A clothes horse or retracing line to hang wet towels would be useful, also additional hot tub towels. We brought our own so not an issue for us. Not a negative, just some feedback which may help the owners keep the lodge in its best condition. We will definitely return…this place is a real gem!!

  The value was amazing, the hot tub was lovely and we had a fantastic time!

  ! The lack of cooking facilities and fridge space was a struggle with the supermarket 30 mins away. I understand we were made aware of this prior to booking so we came prepared! The chalet not having WiFi is also something that could easily be provided. There wasn't much close to us but we enjoyed being able to drive to various different places throughout our stay! More information on how the jacuzzi works would be great as we struggled to get the temperature above 36 and also couldn't figure out how to turn it off as it would be 3am and we could hear the loud hum of the jacuzzi. There seemed to be a bar onsite which we saw open once, we would have liked to have more information on this as well so we knew when it was open as we would have liked to visit. Thank you!
