  Fabulous! We stayed over bonfire weekend as we always go away each year but our first stay here.

  You could hear a few fireworks in the distance but nothing that upset our dog so unless you have a very fearful dog you'd be fine. We came inside and put the TV on and she didn't bother at all. I hope this helps anyone who likes to get away from all the bangs nearer home which are awful. The restoration done on this place is amazing and a credit to the owners. It was spotless and smelt lovely (so much so I've bought the same plug in air freshener!). Terri popped along to say hello when we had just arrived and was a text away if we needed anything. We like being left alone on hols so this was fine. The welcome info states that the hot tub will be attended to each morning at 6am but one of us was up with the dog so not sure if they did do this; the hot tub remained clean & had the filter bits in so maybe they don't do this now. Loved the underfloor heating so it was toasty and warm after the hot tub. We saw deer in the field next to us one morning. Comfy beds, could actually do bigger ones as lots of room and they had lovely quality bedding on. Lots of cleaning and washing equipment provided by the owner and large plentiful towells. The knife and oven tray which the guest before us had commented on in the visitor book had been replaced the same day (I mention this in case the same guest leaves a review). Secure back garden and yard which our dog loved playing with her ball in whilst we chilled in the hot tub. We have been to the area for years but our first visit to Cayton Bay beach and Filey has great butchers, bakers, chip shop. We wish the owners every success with your beautiful property, we would definitely return.

  A lovely weeks' stay at Owl View.

  We have never booked through Skye's cottages before always using Hoeseasons for seeking out luxury hot tub lodges. We also always go to North Wales, so this was a first on accommodation and area. We were not disappointed. Owl View was immaculate and so noticeably clean when we arrived. Very comfortable with everything needed to make for a great stay. Our Jack Russell adored the underfloor heating as did we when we came back from cold walks. The hot tub was great and Martin was very responsive when we asked for the temperature to be increased slightly as the cold wind reduced the temperature quite quickly. Martin came out promptly and increased the temperature which made the hot tub just perfect. We loved Filey the local town, which is so dog friendly. We enjoyed Caton beach for walking the dog early mornings on a empty sandy beach. Can recommend walks to the lighthouse and from Cayton beach to Scarborough. A visit to Whitby is a must and not too far away. York is also worth the drive to visit particularly the Railway museum which surprised my husband and I on how much we enjoyed it. Overall can highly recommend Owl View, we want a return visit but as with other feedback comments, it is so popular it maybe that we cannot book to return until next year. I would highly recommend.

  The lodge was very comfortable and well equipped, although the patio furniture is now looking a little worn.

  The main reason we booked this lodge over others is that the photos showed it to be in a nice, private and secluded spot next to a line of trees providing shade, only to find on arrival that it had been moved to a less-private and hilly spot. Not happy at all and Sykes have been extremely dismissive about this, saying that they sent me an email in April - 4 months prior to notify me of the move (it's now August). I did not receive any such email. Further to this, Sykes are still advertising the lodge as though it is in its former tree-lined location! They will no doubt come back and say the previous location easily became flooded, but in a hot August this was not an issue for us. Then there was a problem with the wifi connection to my laptop. The wifi itself worked well as we connected all 3 phones, and an ipad with no problem, but I needed the owner's permission to speak with the wifi company to set up my laptop, only for Sykes to reply that the owner had stated that no-one else had had this problem, basically saying 'Tough - get on with it!' Not what I was expecting to hear. As I could not connect in order to attend to some urgent work we had to come home a day early. Overall not happy and feeling let down.

  Finch 59 is a lovely lodge with quality fixtures & fittings.

  It is on a nice pitch over looking an attractive central grassed area. This lodge was previously on pitch 15 across the road next to the trees & is now on a raised pitch 59 - hopefully this resolves other guests confusion. There isn't a number on the lodge but can be easily found by following the numbers on adjacent lodges plus its grey not white. Finch 59 is on your right. Finch 15 is on the left. During our stay I reported a few maintenence issue that were not detrimental to our stay but if not reported the lodge will deteriate. 1. Washing machine comes on but does not fill with water assume door not activating machine due to being integrated. 2. Living room door, twin bedroom door & patio door need adjusting. 3. Key box difficult to close & catches your fingers. 4. Some gutters leaking. Flooding - Pitch 15 & surrounding lodges under water due to severe weather - so yes it does flood in this area. All issues reported to Sykes via telephone & Whatsapps. However this is not a complaint as the lodge is lovely & the park has many facilities. Would stay again in the future.

  This was our second stay at Owls View and everything was just as spectacular.

  The accommodation is immaculate and extremely comfortable. The beautiful barn conversion is so cosy with it's underfloor heating (which is not always needed particularly if the sun is out which warms the property through the gorgeous bi-folding glass doors). The location is secluded and offers spectacular views. Within easy reach are the beautiful beaches and cliff top walks. Equally there are many walks direct from the doorstep. The hot tub was a welcome treat at the end of a days walking. The enclosed courtyard to the front of the property and garden to the rear offer a true safe space for the 4 legged friends of the family. Our Weimeraner (and ourselves) really appreciated this feature - outdoor lights allowed us to watch him during the darker hour. The owners are so friendly and accommodating and living close by are able to respond quickly to any issues. We would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to explore this beautiful area.
