Great place for dogs, we all really enjoyed it!

Emma, Scarborough
Date of stay: 18th November 2024

We had an absolutely lovely week in mid-September and the weather was just perfect for sitting outside with a G & T. The lodge felt really cosy, like a proper traditional place and had everything we needed. The owners were super helpful - when we mentioned a chirping smoke alarm, it was fixed straight away. The location was great for exploring on foot and our springer had a blast running around once the chickens were out of sight. Definitely a place we'd recommend to others!
