1-Bedroom Hot Tub Lodge in Avon

Property location excellent proximity to the Yorkshire coast and surrounding ... Property location excellent proximity to the Yorkshire coast and surrounding countryside Property layout superb we were a party of 9 adults, 4 children and an infant Property was in need of some TLC especially ground floor toiletshowers and ensuites Also first time been to a Sykes property with no welcome pack

Weve had a wonderful family holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location and has everything needed for a relaxing family break. We especially appreciated having plenty of space for everyone to spend time together, and it made an excellent base for exploring the area. The house is comfortable and full of character, with several particularly welcoming spaces for relaxing as a family. A few areas, such as some of the dcor and general finishes, would benefit from a little TLC and freshening up, but this did not detract from our overall enjoyment. Overall, weve had a fantastic holiday. Weve made some lovely memories and truly enjoyed our time here.

Spacious,clean property with 8 bedrooms and comfortable beds. Ideal for a family gathering. Large garden and the hot tub was an added bonus enjoyed by all.

A wonderful house to have our family gathering. The ground floor bedroom was perfect for my mother who can't do stairs. The hot tub was fun. Comfortable lounge areas in the house too. A great spot to explore North Yorkshire from.

Lovely house. Warm. Bedrooms clean house clean etc some areas look a little tired, but commonsense prevails and we all felt it was great.

Absolutely loved the house, especially how spacious it felt. Perfect for a family gathering over the Christmas period. Some aspects of the property need a little attention such as the dishwasher not working properly and a faulty seal on the oven door, but on the whole the house is well maintained and the outside area is great for small children. The hot tub was a welcomed added bonus.

Spacious house for a family get together to celebrate my daughters 30th birthday. Comfy beds and great we could all sit together either inside or out. Huge garden so a lot of badminton was enjoyed. The kitchen needs a second fridge freezer, not large enough for a house catering for a large number. Dont do a weeks shop. Also kitchen lacks a few pieces if basic cooking equipment ie scales for one. Hot tub not serviced daily.

Our stay at The Lodge was wonderful! A beautiful and spacious house which was ideal for a large family gathering there were 16 of us. The bedroom accommodation, spread over 3 floors, was excellent and having 2 living rooms meant that both adults and children were happy at all times. The kitchen was very well equipped and became the main area of the house for all to enjoy. The bathroom upstairs was luxurious but we did have a problem with the downstairs Saniflow system althoufgh this was fixed within 24 hours. The only recommendation we have is for the bathroom facilities next to the downstairs bedroom to be upgraded. They are somewhat tired although functional. As for the garden and hot tub they were a hit with the whole family and particularly enjoyed by the children. Overall we had a great week the location of Snainton is ideal for sightseeing and we took various trips to the coast, the moors and York.

Brilliant weekend away with 4 young families. Kitchen fully equipped and a great socialising space. 2 lovely sitting rooms with lots of games. A great bedroom set up for different families. A lovely time was had by all.

We stayed as a group of 5 families so 10 adults and 10 children all together. The house was perfect very spacious, comfy, facilities were great especially the garden and hot tub. The area was lovely and there was plenty to do close by, we would definitely book again. Thank you!

Lovely house,great location,but the house looking very tired could do with abit ... Lovely house,great location,but the house looking very tired could do with abit of tlc,the hot tub wasn't working when we arrived but was mended straight away after ring julie,she was great in keeping us informed

We really liked the Lodge, it was clean, tidy and warm. The house layout suited our party very well. The staff at the Peacock and the Coachman were very hospitable and we enjoyed a lovely meal in the latter. The proximity of the bus stops right outside the property allowed our group to 'flex' their bus passes on enjoyable trips to Pickering, Thornton le Dale and Scarborough. Only down side was having to make a special trip to buy loo rolls!!!. Only found one roll per loo for 14 people over 5 days.

We had a wonderful holiday with friends in the Lodge. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Hot tub was clean and warm, both kids and adults enjoyed their time there. Just a few points to make guests staying experience much better one of the toilets downstairs was blocked and not available for use. This caused some discomfort for 15 people as they had to wait for toilet availability. We bought extra basket of wood for the woodburner but location of it wasn't mentioned anywhere. It could have been communicated by the property owner in advance. The house keylocker password was given wrong. People who first arrived to the house had to wait outside for the call back from property owner to be able to access to the house. There weren't any kitchen essentials like salt, pepper, oil. Some of the kitchen tools like pans were quite old and scratched. Other than these, we were very happy with our stay at the Lodge. We were able to reach out to the contacts who helped us out with our questions. Thank you for your support.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable 5night stay at The Lodge over Christmas. The house is huge. There were 16 of us, including 3 children and a dog, and there was plenty of room. Having two separate reception rooms was great. The two preteens could play games on the TV in one room. The adults could gather and talk in the other. The woodburning stove was very cosy. We used it every evening. The beds were very comfortable, with crisp cotton bedlinen. The house was very clean and well equipped although the kitchen needs an electric whisk or a hand whisk, and the cutlery needs upgrading. We enjoyed the lovely garden and the hot tub. The WiFi was excellent. Having Netflix and Prime on the TV was a great bonus over Christmas. The dining room, though a little cramped, did seat all of us for large family meals. The huge wooden kitchen island was ideal for breakfast and lunches, and general communal gathering. The first floor bathroom was wonderfully luxurious but not really enough for all the people on that floor, especially when the ground floor lavatory was out of commission see below. There were great things to do in the area I highly recommend the North Yorkshire Moors Railway Santa Special steam train ride from Pickering and the stunning medieval wall paintings in Pickering church. The Coachman is a great upmarket pub and we enjoyed the Boxing Day live music with a few pints in The Peacock pub. Two things detracted a little from our overall enjoyment. The ground floor toilet next to the dining room got blocked on the second day and was unable to be fixed so was out of commission for almost all of our stay. Julie sent out maintenance people, who did not arrive until late afternoon of the third day. They were unable to fix it as the problem was not to do with the Saniflo system but with a blockage in an outside pipe. This meant the shower was also out of commission. This was awkward, given the number of people staying. In addition, the toilet spontaneously overflowed on Christmas Day night. I know it was Christmas but I would have liked this to have been attended to. Not having this toilet and this shower was an issue. Secondly, the heating was quirky. When we arrived at 4 pm, the house temperature was 8 degrees. We zapped it up, but it took 3 hours for the house to reach a comfortable temperature. The annex, where my 96yearold mother was staying, was cold a lot of the time. We were able to fix this somewhat by ensuring that the 2 electric convector heaters were switched on at 8 pm, but the annex was generally cold for most of the time and not really cosy for an older person. Other things to fix the ground floor annex loo and shower need upgrading, but they do function OK. The dining room table was two tables put end to end, and although it seated 16 easily, the join between the tables did not leave enough space between the table legs for a person to sit comfortably at that place. The welcome pack was lovely but next time please provide milk and a few tea bags, or let us know in advance that these are not supplied. Our groceries were not delivered until 7 pm and we would have liked a cup of tea before then. There are no shops in the village. The nearest place to pick up groceries is 5 miles away. Some of the upstairs windows were unable to be opened. Recycling arrangements are unsatisfactory. There needs to be a clearlymarked receptacle for recycling. Having both the recycling and the rubbish in black bags meant that our guests constantly put rubbish in the recycling and vice versa. The kitchen needs more than three tea towels. We also needed a few larger bath towels. Please tell guests to bring kindling and firelighters for the woodburning stove.

We had a party of 14, the lodge catered for all we required, the rooms were well set out, clean and well presented, both lounges were comfortable and spacious, I must say the kitchen was outstanding, homely to all be in when preparing food and socialising. We have every intention of booking this property again in the near future, comes highly recommended.

This property was lovely. We had a great weekend in comfort. There was plenty of space for everyone. The garden is beautiful too. We would look to book this place again in the future.

The house was all we expected when we arrived and we enjoyed our stay there. There were however a few points which I must raise. 1. the main oven in the range cooker did not work which meant it was impossible to cook a full meal for 17 people and resulted in us having to eat out more which added considerably to our costs and I feel that some compension for this extra expense is justified. 2. The toilet facilities in the annex were very cramped and very dificult for me to access as I use a walking frame and this could not be accomodated in the toilet with the door closed Sugestions for improvement The outside of the property could be improved for disabled use by some relatively simple changes eg. remove the large stone separating the car parking area and access to the house and also remove the large stone between between the house and the garden and the instalation of a solid surface as the pebble surface is very unstable for someone with difficulties. These latter comments are not intended as a criticism as the property is not advertised as having disabled accesibility but are merely added as sugestions to help the owner with lettings. Look forward to you response to these comments. Regards Brian Walker

The property was the size we required accomodating 8 adults and 5 children with everything we needed for this amount of people there are some tweaks which would make this even better but these are general wear and tear maintenance. Downtairs bedroom and toilet the shower needs the hose replaced and sealing around shower looked at. Seal around shower in other ground floor bathroom. Main cooker in kitchen the right hand oven seal needs replaced and screws replaced on rail on the front of the Aga. A general observation is that the main accomodation on first floor only has one toilet and when 3 families using this another toilet would make this just right for them.

Nice big property. Ideal for a large family gathering. Could seat everyone in dining room . However, there were two lounges to accommodate our full party. Hot tub wax great. Property needs a bit of TLC but comfortable enough. Overall would recommend.

We stayed here for NYE with our family for a special occasion. It was just beautiful and exactly what we needed. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back. Julie is just so lovely and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect so thank you. Xx

This is a great property for a family stay. Lots of living space and a huge outdoor area including hot tub we werent able to make the most of the garden as we stayed in December but it would be beautiful in summer. Plenty of parking, we had 7 cars. Nearby to a lovely pub where we had a carvery Coachmann Inn and a few drinks The Peacock. The only slight feedback was on the main floor there is only one bathroom for 5 bedrooms which did get a bit hectic in the mornings. Other than that it was a fantastic stay and we would definitely stay again

This was our second time at The Lodge and would 100 return again. Fantastic spacious house, with a great location.

It was lovely cottage we all really enjoyed staying there. The only thing I would suggest is maybe having lights outside specifically in winter if you coming back late its really dark.

We visited The Lodge for a family celebration and we had such a lovely time. Easy to find, enough parking, ideally situated for a couple of friendly pubs one of which had excellent food. The garden is spacious with a private hot tub. The log burning fire was great for a cosy night in. The house was very clean and comfy with plenty of pots and utensils. The house was lovely and warm despite storm Babet! The only thing that may have improved the coziness was a few throws snuggly blankets. The showers and bath were enjoyed by all. Plenty of space and a big enough table to house some family games and meals! Would thoroughly recommend. Communication prior to arrival was welcoming and regular. Informative manual detailing all possible questions was also provided. Thank you and will look forward to coming again xx

Lovely setting & character, and the garden was enormous, lovely for the dog but it was a bit disappointing that we couldnt let him run free as it wasnt fully enclosed, and could have been without much expense. Hot tub was excellent. Good kitchen equipment with plenty of crockery, cutlery & cooking utensils, and useful washroom with washer & dryer. More seating needed in the kitchen, around the island, and the existing stools are a bit wobbly. Beds very comfortable, and good bath & shower rooms upstairs & down. One problem we discovered is that the toilet near the downstairs bedroom seems to have a slight leak near the base. This toilet & shower room could do with an upgrade to make them more user friendly. They are very cold. All in all we had a very good holiday, thank you.

This is a lovely place. We have stayed here twice as an extended family group. It is furnished and equipped to a high standard and a thoroughly excellent place for a holiday.

We had a really good weekend and the property offered us exactly what we needed. The kitchen facilities were exceptionally good and the downstairs bathroom toilet was clean and modern. However there were a couple of issues namely the door handles on the first floor were loose and often came off. There were some cobwebs around the window catches in the front lounge. Although non of us were smokers the receptacle for the discarded cigarette ends was full. The downstairs shower and toilet next to the bedroom could do with modernising. On a positive note our dealings with Julie were excellent and she was very helpful.

My Party were extremely satisfied with the property in all respects,regrettably it was already booked for the following Christmas. The one aspect which could have ensured a recommendation as Wheelchair friendly was to remove the stone at the rear entry point from the car park and the provision of a custom made moveable ramp to the kitchen. The adequate size of the ground floor bedroom together with close access to your shower and toilet meant you were only a whisper away from perfection. P.S perhaps the removal of the stone would have been a. Contravention of the terms of Grade 2 listing.?

We had a wonderful family get together at The Lodge. It was warm, cosy and had a homely atmosphere. The property provided all the facilities our party of 17 including three children, a baby and a dog required. The kitchen was well equipped and had plenty of storage space and the bathroomstoilets were good, however the toilet next to the annexe could do with an upgrade. The adults enjoyed the hot tub and the kids loved and made full use of the extensive garden. There were no complaints from any of our group except for comments on the passing traffic on the adjacent A170. We found Samantha and Julie most helpful when we were planning and preparing for our 3 day break at The Lodge. We can recommend The Lodge to anyone, however those who prefer accommodation away from busy roads may not find it suitable.

What lovely place to stay. We all had a fantastic weekend here and would definitely recommend it. Very handy for driving to the coast and north york moors, and our kids loved exploring all the rooms and gardens. Comfy beds, plenty of room and a superb hot tub. Thank you so much for making my wife's 40th birthday weekend so special!

Property was very clean and comfortable, parking looks much bigger on the pictures than it actually is. Kitchen could of been better equipped with a few more appliance , like a slow cooker and electric whisk , coffee machine . The Tv broke on the first morning in the main living room, this was the room with the log burner which spoilt things slightly as we all had to use one living room. I had paid extra for extra logs which obviously werent needed because of the tv problem . We did report it but the maintenance guy was out of the area

We hired the Lodge for a Christmas get together with friends, what a lovely place to stay! The Lodge was absolutely beautiful, clean and comfortable. The property owner was really helpful leading up to our stay. I will definitely be recommending to others, and will look to book again! Brilliant weekend had by all, thank you!

Very good location and facilities. Proactive anf friendly communication with the owner. Would reccomend.

We had a lovely family holiday at The Lodge Snainton. Ideally situated for visits to the coast and surrounding countryside. We knew Samantha from Sykes would always be available at the other end of the phone if we needed her.Thank you

We would definitely recommend this property it was very well equipped for a large party and well maintained. The hot tub was a great addition, as was the large enclosed garden. Similar to other reviews the house is very well maintained and in very good working order, the bathroom and toilet in the annex just look a bit tired but work absolutely fine. The only thing that could have been a little clearer on the listing is the description of the top floor bedrooms, you have to go through the twin to access the double which is fine for a family but doesnt really work as well for a group of friends each with an infant in the bedroom. The owner was very helpful when we sent an email asking for a clearer description and we managed to make it work but we felt it could have been listed a bit clearer. Overall an excellent stay and we would definitely book again.

A really lovely house The requirement to vacate the hot tub by 9am was a bit disappointing. Getting out of the carpark when the drs surgery was open was a challenge All in all a lovely place to stay

A fantastic place for all my friends and family to come together for my 30th birthday! Bedrooms in the main house were clean, spacious and warm. Very modern main bathroom with twin sinks, bath and walkin shower. 2 cosy living rooms with fires. Kitchen well equipped with plates, glasses, cutlery etc for a large number of people , something we have struggled with in other holiday homes. Large enclosed garden meant we could allow the dog to run around with freedom. Bathroom in Annex is very simple, not quite matching the rest of the house but in good working order all the same. The owner sent over lots of information and also took the time to call me the day before we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants a place for a comfortable, well furnished and reasonably priced gathering!

It is a very interesting house, comfortable and with a good specification of the facilities. The Annex has a very comfortable bedroom but the toilet and shower room are more basic and not as luxurious as the rest of the house which was disappointing. The garden is very nice indeed and the hot tub proved very popular! The road through Snainton is the main Pickering to Scarborough route and as pointed out in other reviews can be quite noisy at times but this did not detract from our enjoyment.
