Guests say
South Lodge is a stunning, well-equipped cottage with a wood-fired hot tub and comfortable furnishings. It's ideal for exploring nearby east coast towns and York. Guests appreciate the host's excellent communication and the property's high standard of finish.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as immaculately clean and tidy, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to east coast towns and York, though it is noted to be on a busy road with limited walking options for dogs.
The lodge is generally found to be comfortable with great beds, though one guest found the lounge settee unsuitable for four adults.
Facilities are excellent, including a well-appointed kitchen and bath/shower. The hot tub is a highlight, despite requiring maintenance. A minor issue was noted with missing items listed in the property description.
The provision of robes for guests and good communication from the host demonstrate thoughtfulness. However, as gifts like salt and oil were expected but missing, it's politely noted that such amenities are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

This was an unbelievable property, hot tub amazing, fittings were really good. A really well presented property, renovated to a very high standard. Only one improvement I would make would be to maybe add an elegant corner sofa in the lounge, to make a more comfier environment

Stunning property finished to a high level, with excellent facilities. Really handy for east coast towns such as Bridlington, or the beautiful York.The host is excellent - stayed in touch the whole time and was on hand to support, especially when I realised I’m not very good at lighting fires! The hot tub is a bit tricky to master, but great once you get it going. The robes for everyone were a nice touch. Highly recommend.

Lovely lodge, well appointed with a great bath/shower, and a really good kitchen. The wood fired hot tub is fun (albeit a trifle faffy)It is on a busy road with only a sketchy pavement into town.
