Our stay at Waterfoot lodge was relaxing, and comfortable. The lodge itself was well presented with everything we needed for our stay. I would point out that you will need to take tea, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper with you as none was provided. The furniture was clean and comfortable. The carpet in the living room could do with some carpet cleaner but that didn't take anything away from our stay. The nearest shops are in Malton, which is a 10 minute drive away. We'd highly recommend the Howardian Hills circular, the Castle Howard and Pretty woods circular and trips to Scarborough and Filey. All in all, well worth the money.

Beautifully located caravan on waters edge. Very peaceful location and the van was exceptionally clean and homely. Great value for money and we thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay. There is a lovely Cantonese restaurant 5 mins drive away and a 10 min drive to shops. Lots to do and see in the area.
