As has been said in another review, the lodge is hard to find - the post code covers a huge area and the satnav kept taking us round in circles - eventually we saw S Smales sign and followed the given directions from there. That was in daylight - coming back from a day out in the dark was a nightmare as there dont seem to be any landmarks and all the roads look the same - we were seeing chevron markers in our dreams! That said, the cottage is quite nice - lovely big garden and although next to a road we didnt get a lot of traffic noise. There was a strange intermittent rumbling/vibrating noise on our second evening and all through the night which we didnt manage to get to the bottom of! Although the cottage was fairly clean on arrival, the bathroom bin hadnt been emptied (yuk) and there were food remnants on the floor round the kitchen bin ( as in chunks of biscuits and other mess). The bedding was lovely and clean and the beds were comfy and quite unusually for a holiday cottage ( at least the ones we ve stayed in) the wifi signal was good. It was nice to relax in the hot tub but as has been said its not in the best condition - it was clean but the jets dont all work and it took 2 of us to lift the lid off with great difficulty. I can imagine the cottage is a great place to stay with dogs but unfortunately the sofas were quite grubby which i presume is because of doggies jumping on them- shame. We enjoyed our 4 day break but probably wouldnt stay there again.

Pretty cottage when we actually found it because the sat nav couldn’t. Lovely comfy beds. The garden was safe and secure for our dogs. They loved it. The beaches at Hornsea and Withernsea are close enough. Although the cottage was clean, the sofas weren’t. They were stained and dirty and quite uncomfortable. Oh and the hot tub has seen better days, especially the lid. It was extremely heavy to remove so we only used it once.
