• "Another lovely stay at Whorlton Lodge."

  Almost perfect if you have dogs (there’s the odd escape hole in the fence, but only if you have a small dog). It was good to see that the owner Keith had taken on board the minor issues. We had pointed out on our previous visit, e.g. lack of coffee tables and kitchen towels etc. We will be back.

• "Lovely lodge with excellent views."

  We will rebook for sure, but have the following suggestions to make it even better. Provide a couple of coffee tables alongside the settees as there’s no place to put cups while seated. (We used the kitchen dustbin). Make the garden surrounding the property dog secure. (All 4 gates allow small dogs to enter and escape.) A simpler solution would be to put a gate on the stairs leading up to the lodge. This would allow dog owners to let their dogs out on the verandah with no risk of escape. As it is, we had to make a barricade with garden chairs to prevent this from happening. Consider satellite internet (Starlink?) as the current speed is next to useless. Provide J Clothes/kitchen rolls to wipe down work surfaces. We couldn’t get the oven to work and there didn’t appear to be any instructions. (The hob worked OK). Provide more takeaway menus if possible. The above are not criticisms, just suggestions. Best regards Andrew Barrett

  Hi Andrew, Thanks for you feedback and suggestions for improvement which I will be implementing. 1. I’ll add more metal netting to the gates & see if a gate can be added onto of stairs. Yes, we do need side tables for both ends of both sofas. 2. Internet, yes it’s poor but local reports of the available ‘by air’ systems are ‘iffy’ if we can’t see the hills, the signal won’t get thru - was the same with Sky in the main house which we cancelled! I have had one of my clever daughters chase down a problem with the BT repeater outside the lodge and this has helped, but we’re never going to get cable speeds. 3. The oven, I wish you had mentioned this as it would have been a quick fix - I will copy the manual and put it in the Lodge. 4. Yes, more cleaning items. 5. I’ll make a list of the local take-away places with phone, sat nav and internet links. Once again, thank you for being so positive in this welcome feedback. Warm regards, Keith. Property Owner

  The lodge is spacious & comfortable, well heated and all on one level. The owner is on hand to answer questions & we used the bike storage that was available. This was our second stay - we love the ever changing views across the fields. Wi-Fi is unreliable.

  So peaceful and private. It was clean, warm and well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the garden and paddock were enclosed and safe for Rhea the spaniel. A great base and lots to do.

  Spotlessly clean with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The garden and paddock is secure and my little pooch loves it, overgrown to encourage wildlife.

• "A spacious lodge set in a private location with the most fantastic uninterrupted views."

  The view across the fields to the Cleveland Hills are a delight, not least because the scenes colouring changes with the Sunrise, Sunset and Moon rise. Venture up to the hills via Carlton in Cleveland with its dining pub famous for the Thai menu and then with passengers only admiring the views climb the steep swirly hill and over the top to find Lordstones Country Park - and of course it’s great restaurant (indoor & sheltered outdoors) and Farm Shop.

• "The photos in this add are from when the Lodge was first purchased and not it ..."

  The photos in this add are from when the Lodge was first purchased and not it current state the arm of the sofa kept falling off the place needed cleaning by my Wife before we could relax the fridge was dirty there was old food in the cupboards from previous guests the decking was spongy and we did not walk round the side for fear of falling through the parasol had been repaired on 3 occasions I spoke to the owner and he replaced this straight away the paddock for the dog was not secured it's a good job she is friendly as we kept getting a jake russle size dog visiting us daily the grounds were unkept and very over grown this place is definitely not worth the £500+ we paid and would not recommend it to anyone the only plus I can say is Keith allowed my parents stay overnight as my son had his birthday whilst we were on holiday luxury this was not but it would be ideal for someone wanting to ruff it a few nights

  I’m very surprised by this feedback and greatly regret this guests disappointment, sadly, the only comment I received concerned the broken parasol which presumably had been broken and repaired by a previous guest but not reported to me. Of course I replaced it the same day. We had in the previous week appointed new cleaners recommended by Sykes, clearly I need to bring their work up to standards expected. The leather sofa bed arm did fail due to its poor quality fixing system despite its huge price! I’ve since replaced the factory fittings with mild steel brackets, so should be secure now. Our guest might recall me walking round the walkway to the deck area where I found 4 guests seated comfortably as I changed the parasol - admittedly I only weigh 10st, but it’s unlikely anyone of any weight would fall through. Yes, the grass in the area at the back was long - failed experiment with ‘re-wilding’ - won’t be doing that again Property Owner

  The lodge is in an excellent position for touring around the North York moors, the coast and the northern dales. The lodge itself is very comfortable and overall generally well equipped, bedrooms and bathrooms were excellent. I didn't think to bring any cleaning materials and we needed cloths. kitchen and bathroom sprays. The views are magnificent and the owner Keith is very pleasant and helpful and we may well book again in the future.

  Perfect uninterrupted view. The location is very good - quiet and with a sense of being remote and yet very accessible and within a short drive to the A roads nearby. Great place for pooch too with safe enclosed area for a run. The owner was very helpful & quick to respond to any queries. He kindly provided us with an extra fan on the hottest day which was greatly appreciated. There was also a charging point for an electric car which I was able to pay to use which I found very useful. The lodge is clean, bright & well laid out with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Look forward to visiting again soon.
