Pickering Lodges

Very comfortable and great quality

We booked a last-minute getaway at Levisham Lodge and had a decent stay. The place is a bit old-fashioned in its decor, but everything was very clean. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, even if it cooled down a bit by the end. We also enjoyed the meal at the on-site restaurant-definitely a relaxing trip overall.

The bed was comfy, but honestly, it felt a bit too small for us both to stretch out.

We really enjoyed our stay. The beds were cosy, though the double was a bit tight for us. The hot tub was a great touch, checked daily, which was nice!

We had a really nice stay overall. The lodge had a few hiccups, but the team on site sorted them out quickly. Definitely thinking of returning someday!

Perfect spot for families, with a friendly team and a spotless environment. WiFi was a real plus!

Weve visited several times now and it still blows us away each time. The lodges, the food and the staff are all top-notch. Nothings too much trouble to make your stay special. Just a couple of days back, were already booking for next year!

We had a brilliant weekend here! The place was spotless and cosy, beds super comfy and the hot tub was such a treat. Cant wait to return!

The lodge was cosy and peaceful, perfect for a quiet break. Its a bit tired and could do with some sprucing up though.

We really enjoyed this place. The three bedrooms are a good size and there's loads of storage, which is handy. The view of the kids' play area is perfect for keeping an eye on them. Plus, the veranda gets sun all day and has plenty of comfy furniture. Lovely spot!

We really enjoyed our stay! The weather was perfect and the lodge was spotless, modern and super comfy. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. The peaceful setting was just what we needed. The bar and restaurant served delicious food at a fair price. Definitely coming back!

Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was cosy and beautifully decorated throughout.

Really liked the sofas and the new beds made everything even more comfortable for us.

We noticed a few minor issues during our stay. The shower over the deep bath was a bit awkward and the temperature knob was hard to turn, making the water really hot sometimes. The en-suite's bi-fold door needs fixing or replacing because its quite noisy, especially at night when our partner was sleeping. Also, the air freshners were quite strong after a while. Still, overall, it felt very cosy and almost like being at home!

Lovely, cosy retreat

The site looked really nice and the chalet was spotlessly clean and comfy. We loved watching the water birds with their chicks at the lake. Overall, a lovely place for a relaxing stay!

Really enjoyed our stay, the staff were super friendly and the food was spot on! Will return.

Nice outing, despite the unpredictable weather, we still enjoyed it!

Not impressed at all, the bed edges are really sharp and dangerous. The shelf was loose and the remote control fell apart easily. Honestly, not very good quality and quite disappointing overall.

We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, it was quite a mixed bag. The place was kept fairly clean and the kitchen facilities were decent enough for basic needs, which was a plus. However, the decor felt really outdated and the strong smell of air fresheners was a bit overwhelming at times. The beds were probably the biggest let-down - extremely uncomfortable and the slats kept squeaking with every little movement, so getting a good nights sleep was a challenge. The pillows were pretty lumpy too, which didnt help. We also noticed that the towels set out for the kids were quite threadbare, which was disappointing. On our first night, there was a significant leak in the kitchen, which was sorted the next day. Still, we were a bit surprised there was no apology or compensation, especially since my husb and had to get up every hour to empty the washing bowl during the night. The garden furniture was another let-down - filthy chairs and covers, making them completely unusable. We couldnt believe there were no proper recycling facilities either; the owner said they separated rubbish, but we found it easier to take our recycling home. One thing that really shocked us was how the jacuzzi water was emptied onto the track outside when guests leave - not very eco-friendly and it ran onto the plants and shrubs. We ended our stay with a meal at the pub restaurant, but honestly, the food was pretty terrible - overcooked, hard onion rings and greasy pizza and burgers served on tarnished silver trays. The tables were sticky too. Overall, we tried to make the best of it, but we definitely wouldnt call this place luxury - its more like a basic stay with some issues.

Overall, its a pretty solid place. Furnishings had a few small issues, but nothing major. Everything we needed was there!

We had an amazing stay! The lodges are lovely and Spencers team really make you feel welcome. Perfectly located near Pickering and just half an hour to the coast. Wish wed booked longer, honestly!

We really enjoyed the stay at the lodge, especially the recliner sofas with that lovely lake view. Beds could have been a bit comfier, but overall, perfect!

Nice, honest experience

We loved staying here! The lodge was super comfy and in a perfect spot for exploring. The staff went out of their way to help us, really friendly. Spencers bar and grill was definitely a highlight too.

We loved the lodge! Perfect spot by the lake, super cosy inside and that big hot tub outside was just what we needed to unwind. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed our stay! The location is lovely and the staff are super friendly. Would definitely return.

Weve stayed here twice now and honestly, its got some real potential but also a few things that could do with fixing. Our last visit was in Lodge 1, which is right next to the bar, so when there was a wedding on, the noise was pretty loud - boom boom boom till late. Normally, that wouldnt be a big deal, but I was feeling under the weather and ended up not sleeping much because of the noise. The lodge does have a lovely view over the lake, which is a real plus, but if youre like us and prefer peace and quiet, especially if you dont want to hear kids squealing, its not ideal since its right next to the play area. Not much of an issue in winter, but Id imagine its different in warmer months. The bed in the double room isnt very comfy and the lodge itself could do with a few tweaks. The fire wasnt working when we arrived and we were told it was being taken out, which was a bit disappointing. I also felt the cold even with the fire on full blast. Theres a spotlight in the bedroom hanging out of its socket and not working either. One toilet roll for three nights for four people isnt enough, though luckily I brought some from home. On the bright side, the hot tub was lovely and always warm enough and the reclining sofa was really comfy. The kitchen was well equipped, which was great. Spencers bar is a nice spot for a drink, though we didnt eat there so cant comment on the food. We paid for three nights since there was no two-night option, but due to feeling ill, we checked out early on Sunday morning - a bit of a waste of money for us. Our son and his girlfriend stayed a bit longer. We had hoped to visit the Black Bull pub at the end of the road again, as last time it was so cosy. Overall, its a nice lodge in a lovely setting, but a few little tweaks would really make it perfect and cosy.

We had a fantastic weekend here! It honestly felt like being at home, super relaxing. The food in the restaurant was top-notch; three of us enjoyed Sunday dinners and everyone agreed it was the best we've had in ages. Plus, the mixed grill was really lovely. Definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed it, will definitely return soon.
