Bracken Howe Lodge Reviews

Fabulous Lodge and location. We have enjoyed exploring the area and loved it all, especially Runswick Bay Thank you Watching the hens was an added bonus!!

Rachel

Lovely park and amazing lodge. Loved the little extras such as toys and books for little ones. The lodge is lovely and spacious, the only downside was the bedroom on the mezz is completely open so not much privacy for downstairs and can see in from other lodges. We requested a highchair on booking which on arrival was not in the lodge. Would also recommend bringing your own cot mattress if using it. A stairgate would be beneficial for young ones. The hot tub was lovely and not over looked. Would recommend to others.

Graham

Its a great lodge and very luxurious throughout. Immaculate condition. Great location. Good for travelling into and visiting other bays nearby including pubs and restaurants. The Mezzanine sink kept on blocking. That's the only issue. But otherwise a wonderful stay.

Really clean lodge, in a lovely area, plenty of walking trails, egton a 25 minute walk away, Whitby a 10 minute drive away, the site was well kept, even though out of season, we would definitely return.

Fabulous Christmas, first time spending Christmas away from home. Would highly recommend it. The tree was stunning just like the lodge.

The property was very nice, comfortable and as advertised. The hot tub was great and we took full advantage of it every day. It has all the accessories that you could want to ensure an enjoyable stay. The surroundings were great and our granddaughter loved the free range chickens that came round every morning. Overall a very enjoyable relaxing week stay

We have enjoyed a lovely few days in this wonderful lodge set in such a beautiful part of the world. Everything was just as it should be and the welcome pack was extremely welcome! thanks for everything!

Rachel

Really appreciated both our lodge & all the facilities at Lady Cross beautifully maintained. Loved walks in the woodland & meeting the chickens , listening to the birdsong Our lodge had every comfort required to enjoy a super family holiday & reunion with cousins over from Australia . We especially appreciated relaxing in the hot tub Ideal location for easy access to the beautiful Yorkshire Coast & Countryside and plenty of wonderful cafes , pubs , fish and chips Many thanks to all who ensure Lady Cross is a brilliant holiday destination

This is our 3rd visit to Ladycross but our first in this lodge. We really enjoyed the hot tub this time. The lodge had everything we needed and we had a lovely time. Thank you very much we will return!

Loved the goody bag. Great to see some toiletries and cleaning materials. A problem with the door lock which was sorted very quickly. The lodge was very clean. Plenty of items to cook with. The oven was clean. A few cobwebs but not an issue. Beds were comfy. Loved the hot tub , but it would have been a bit better if some of the trees were cut back to have some sun on the porch. Plenty of information about the lodge and surrounding area. Although there was only four of us there was plenty of room for six. We had a great family holiday, and my mum of 91 was very impressed.

Alison

Excellent. Perfect little getaway and very well equipped. Very clean, but few cobwebs didn't spoil our stay

We had a lovely stay thank you!

Stephen

Lovely lodgeour second visit to the site. Everything you need in a peaceful setting. We will be back.

Fabulous Cabin, clean, and comfortable with beautiful large white towels. Perfect weather all week so we enjoyed coastal walks everyday. The site was very peaceful and we definitely will be coming back later on in the year, bring friends with us. wonderful place to relax and unwind

Lovely stay between Christmas and New Year. Nice location being so near the coast and we enjoyed and made the most of walks around the area. Nice relaxing stay, Thanks!

Firstly the camera work makes this place look very spacious, imo this accommodation is suited to 4 occupants at most . On arrival we found there is no curtain at the front door ,which is right opposite both bedroom doors ,luckily there was no one occupying the opposite lodge . When we went to cook on the first night my wife had to spend 40 mins cleaning the oven ,as oven was not clean at all ,we do have photos if disputed on wife's phone ,we found an empty bubble bath bottle down the back of the bath , several cobwebs and a cake wrapper in the cupboard upstairs where the upstairs hoover is stored ,which would have been easy to see if you were to use the hoover . We left a day early as both double beds had mattresses that had seen better days and were not kind to my wife's back , we slept on the two single beds for 2 nights as the beds are higher and the mattresses are newer and had to bring the the blind from upstairs to provide some privacy at the front door . The lodge is set in quite a nice area but I think would be quite busy if all lodges were fully occupied ,but as it was quiet this was not an issue . The kitchen is well equipped with very good appliances un clean oven already mentioned , perhaps bigger tvs in all rooms . The hi light was the hot tub which was most welcome after a walk We have stayed with sykes before and enjoyed it very much but this time not so much .

Absolutely Wonderful! Wellequipped, spacious and such peaceful surroundings, we spotted squirrels, bunnies, alas no deer. The children loved the hottub it made every day perfect. Great trips to Whitby we recommend the park and ride. Staithes beach and the hidden castle at Mulgrave. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. People at reception were so nice and helpful. Lovely welcome package. A hidden Gem.

Wonderful treat for us. Such a lovely place, so much to do and see we wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks for the welcome Yorkshire Brack it's a real discovery! Loved everything about the lodge and the surroundings.

A lovely property that had everything we needed. The roaming chickens were lovely to watch and the woodland walks were very peaceful

Daniel

Outstanding accommodation. The kids loved the hot tub and the chickens. We loved the lodge and the woodland setting. Just what we all needed. We were undesturbed the whole week of our stay. Only 15 minutes drive away from fabulous beaches and even less for evening meals. We will definitely be back.

The lodge was very clean. Welcome pack was very sweet, enjoyed the bickies. Perfect time away, so peaceful. We have been everywhere. Whitby park and ride is a good way to get to Whitby without worrying about parking. The Witchers Post Inn Egton village is fab place to eat. Highly recommend the steam train Goathland to Pickering.

Wonderful lodge in a tranquil environment. All equipment you would ever need. Comfortable beds. Great bathrooms. Hot tub enjoyed by us. Witching Post pub down the road is fantastic with great meals at good prices. Whitby and the coast only 5 miles away. And in Yorkshire!! What more could you ask for!!

Beautiful Lodge & location amongst the trees! Great days out, lots done in a short space of time. Lodge lovely and clean. Very pleasant place to stay. Thank you for the welcome bag. Fab meals at The Witching Post Lovely well recommended! Thank you for making our stay so lovely.

We had a great time at the lodge. From the outside the lodge is starting to look just a little worn in but once you step through the door the nice open plan living area worked really well and felt very luxurious. The only builds wed have were the beds themselves, though spacious werent very comfortable for us too soft and supporting so both have left with some backache There was also building work taking place during our stay which we werent informed about looks like new access being created for additional lodges close by so check when youre booking as does interrupt the tranquility when youre relaxing in the hot tub. Hot tub was great for us as a 2, be mindful if youre a party of 6 that its a 34 person tub. Plenty big enough for us, but would be very snug for 6. Overall the lodge worked really well for us, and despite never fully working out the temperature to cool the bathrooms a little the velux windows throughout upstairs made it easy to regulate.
