  First time we've stopped in a lodge using sykes were you don't get any form of welcome package not even a pint of milk no hand wash or sanitiser or any cleaning products also dustbin had some rotting meat which gave off awful smell it's a shame as the lodge and location were first class

  In response to your review, thank you for your positive comments about the lodge and our park. The cleaning team do leave a welcome pack, including milk sachets. So, we are sorry if it had been missed this time. Unfortunately, the previous guests had thrown loose food into the large bin outside the lodge. Then a big bag of rubbish had been put on top. The cleaner had lifted out the bag but not looked further into the bin. So, apologise for this. The owners of the property do live on site and the contact details are in the information pack along with Sykes Cottages’ telephone numbers for any emergency. Had these issues been reported during your stay, we would have done all we could to ensure that you were happy and comfortable for the duration of your visit. For the assurance of any future guests, there is a comments book in the lodge which we encourage people to use. 99% of the guests have left their responses, which have been overwhelmingly positive about their holiday. We were very lucky to have had a visit from Professor David Bellamy when developing the site. His suggestions greatly enhanced the immediate environment which has been appreciated by guests to the park. If visitors are fortunate, they may see a kingfisher from the decking. A video can be found on our website. Occasionally, otters have been seen in the beck. Property Owner

• "Just what we both needed after a difficult time recently,a lovely break in a peaceful location surrounded by wildlife."

  One small issue..the extractor fan in the en suite shower room appears to have power but does not run..otherwise perfect. We will probably return.

  Spacious, beautifully furnished and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend to anyone who wants peace and quiet and enjoys watching birds and wildlife.

• "First tie staying here, lovely and spacious, clean and comfortable."

  Spent the first few days in the lodge relaxing and watching the wildlife. from birds, moorhens, deer, and woodpeckers. everything was so relaxing and peaceful. I only have maybe one suggestion, for someone like my husband who is not very steady on his feet, it would be nice to have a grab rail fitted in the shower, he did slip once but because i know he is unsteady, i was in the bathroom with him and managed to steady him, had a grab rail been fitted, he could have used that. Other than that, the perfect holiday, thank you.

• "Nice quiet location, everything you need is provided including welcome pack."

  Probably a little to remote for us, but not complaining. Good location for visting other ares Pickering in particular. This is not a criticism, but as we are elderly access into the bath would benifit from a handrail

  Plenty of wildlife to see, right on our doorstep , and this occupied quite a lot of our time at the Lodge. We both loved the ``Welcome Pack`` , and thought that this was a lovely gesture by the Owners of the Lodgers , John & Barbara . Lovely and peaceful ( which is 1 of the reasons we chose Bulmers Lodges ) If you like `Peace & quiet` ,then this is the place for you. Mr & Mrs A & B Farrington

• "It is a nice property in lovely suroundings but 6pm check in is far too late."

  In the information pack it asks you to enjoy the welcom pack but their was'nt one. Some radiators could not be opened and some light bulbs were missing or not working.

  Thank you for your feedback. We agree the 6pm check in is late but unfortunately we are living in difficult times at the moment. Hopefulluy things will get back to normal soon. We always leave a welcome pack so sorry we don't know what happened this time. We have noticed you are a regular visitor. Since your last visit we have replaced the boiler and installed a Nest thermostat in the hallway. It is now far easier to adjust the temperature through this system rather than adjust individual radiators. The bulbs have now been replaced. For future reference our telephone number is displayed at the entrance to the park. Property Owner

  Very quiet and peaceful location. Ideal for easy access to A64 and within easy reach to Scarborough,Filey, Whitby, Bridlington,and York. The property has everything needed for a self catering holiday and is maintained to a high standard.

• "Just had a lovely week in Bulmer Farm Lodge."

  It was so peaceful and much thought has gone into the planting of an amazing variety of shrubs and trees around the lodge, with a large pond on which was nesting a pair of moorhens. The owner has sited a bird table with feeders on the veranda which was visited regularly by many birds, including the moorhen and a squirrel . The owners were very helpful and pleasant. Also well situated for local attractions. Will go there again. .

• "On entering the cottage the appearance was fair but did not smell clean or fresh\ entering."

  The bedding was to be desired and appeared old and un ironed. The pillows were old dirty and thin, and the bed had 3 mattress topers. Didn't smell fresh at all. Bathroom en -suite toilet brush was disgusting holder was black inside slip matt in shower needs replacing. Pots and pans need a lot to be desired and we had to wash the pots and glasses before use. Some of the pans were unusable(roasting pan was beyond using) burnt food on the inside. It didn't look like the place had been dusted. Outside furniture table paint was peeling off , no parasol and only 2 chairs that went with the table. Although the location was idyllic the lodge left us very disappointed as we had been looking forward to going their for 2 years. We shall not be returning their again.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to have received your comments, and if these issues had been reported during your stay, we would have done all we could to ensure that you were happy and comfortable for the duration of your stay.

• "Great location for visiting the area."

  The lodge is set in peaceful surroundings and we loved watching the wildlife. After reading other reviews, we expected the driveway leading to the property to be a lot worse than it was, we have a Fiesta & found it to be ok if we took it steady. On arrival there was a welcome pack of milk, butter, eggs, fresh bread & cookies.

• "Yes this is the 3rd time i have used Sykes to book a holiday."

  .....It will be the last time. They are just an un-contactable, ripoff company. They charge to book the holiday, they charge to change a date, they charge a large amount to the owners of the properties, They will even charge you to return any items you inadvertently leave behind on leaving a property. Basically they sit on their butts and fleece as much as they can out of everyone.....Not from me anymore.

  We loved watching and listening to the birds at the bird feeder on the deck. Many thanks to Phil and Sam who made sure that we had everything that we needed. The only negative was the potholes on the access road so you just have to take it very slowly.

• "Bulmer lodge was very comfortable and spacious."

  Our only criticism was the motley collection of crockery, wine glasses and saucepans. We didn't so much mind that they were a mishmash of items, but there just wasn't enough of it. You need at least 8 items of each for a family of four, otherwise you have to run the dishwasher after every meal which is a waste of water and electricity.

  .....The owners were very helpful and friendly. They presented us with a welcome pack on arrival containing basic essentials like butter milk etc. The surrounding area was very flat and rural, with plenty of bird life etc. The weather could have been better, but thats beyond anyones control. One small niggle was the access road leading down to the farm....It was heavily potholed and not very friendly on our cars suspension.

• "What a lovely holiday we had - peace, quiet with beautiful views."

  The lodge was immaculate with a very thoughtful welcome pack waiting for us with instructions to call on the owner for 'anything' at all that we needed. The lodge is perfectly placed for visits to the seaside or just to have a look around neighbouring villages like Malton and Pickering. The only fault, well if it could be called a fault, was the fact that we couldn't find any literature regarding the use of the appliances i.e. dishwasher, microwave and oven. Well done Bulmer Farm Lodge

• "If you want peace and quiet come here, the lodge is set in beautifully maintained gardens with lovely views across fields next to a wildlife pond with a balcony."

  The inside is very spacious with two double sized bedrooms an on suite and main bathroom, it was very clean throughout we thought we were the first guests as it all seemed so new, the owner was very nice and said if we had any special requests he would organise them for us and that he was a chef and could cook for us a special meal if we wished which sounded very tempting. We also had milk from the farm, bread and butter, tea and coffee, and plums and apples from the trees. The double bed was quite firm but for us it was okay. We visited Castle Howard and the Walled Gardens at Scampston which we actually preferred, Malton is worth visiting if you are a foodie. We also walked both bays along the seafront at Scarborough and through Peasholm Park. In summary a great all round experience and we may well return
