Guests say
Foxglove Lodge is praised for its cleanliness, peaceful setting, and proximity to local attractions. Guests appreciate the well-equipped lodges, the beautiful surroundings, and the thoughtful welcome touches. While some mention discomfort with the furniture and issues with Wi-Fi, the overall experience is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
The lodge consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotless' and 'tidy'. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness maintained at the property.
The location is frequently described as peaceful, with beautiful surroundings and close proximity to beaches and local amenities. However, some guests were disappointed with the lack of sea views and misleading information about direct footpaths to Saltburn.
While many guests found the lodge comfortable, there are several complaints about the quality of the sofas and beds, suggesting that comfort could be improved. The presence of both positive and negative comments leads to a moderate score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the lodges being well-equipped. However, there are remarks about the need for better kitchenware, the lack of a mirror in the bedroom, and unreliable Wi-Fi, which affects the score.
Guests mention a welcome basket and a bottle of wine, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as not all reviews reference gifts and there's a mention of lacking basic provisions like tea and coffee, the score reflects that such gestures, while appreciated, may not be consistent.

Couldn't find a path so walked along a very busy narrow winding road. Only a mile but very dangerous . We cut through the hedge into a farmers field on the way back. Also would have preferred the small dining table to be in the living kitchen area. The dining room was a bit pointless to us. Looked as though it had been a 2nd bedroom.

It was amazing to see three peacocks sitting on a fence enjoying the sunshine. Our dog loved his woodland walks in the hall grounds. It was a quick drive to Saltburn beach and nearby shops.

The lodge has everything you could possibly need for a 7 night stay. The space was perfect for 2 adults and 2 dogs, however we did sadly have some issues along our stay. Pros- Plenty of space. Excellent kitchen which is well equipped and has plenty of storage. Bathroom and shower is amazing, and always my favourite part of the stay! The grounds are lovely, and through the day is peaceful and calm with the wildlife roaming free. Cons- The sofa is horrendous! A small 2 seater which is low and leans back. Extremely uncomfortable and sadly was no better 5 years ago. The mattress is also awful! There was a visable 'lump' running down the centre of the bed and then the outer parts are badly worn. The mattress is far too soft and has no support. The bed itself also feels smaller than a standard double. This might just be due to the poor mattress, but we struggled to get comfortable. As a person with disabilities, these 2 things are so important to a comfortable stay. The dining room was a total waste of space and if this had been a single room would have been much more useful. The evening events at the main hall.... oh dear me!!! This was never an issue 5 years ago, but now actually means we won't return. The noise generated in the evenings/nights was horrendous. The music is loud enough to hear each song until midnight and then grown adults screaming, laughing and generally being loud went on longer. Of course I appreciate that they are enjoying an event, but this should be shared on the booking detail. Unfortunately, while the location and space is perfect for us, the cons have increased since our last stay but hopefully the furniture issues at least can be resolved and we could look at returning.
