Garthgate Holiday Lodge Reviews

Caroline
This was our second visit to Garthgate Holiday Lodge. We enjoyed our long weekend in 2023 so much that we booked for a week this year begged we had even left. It's the best holiday accommodation we've ever stayed in. It's very well appointed, spotlessly clean, and really feels like home. The owner is so friendly and has thought of everything. She remembered I enjoyed candlelit baths and provided remote control electronic candles as the fire regulations prohibit real ones. There is so much to do in the local area, and a pub just down the road serving delicious food. Highly recommended.
Great place ,absolutely everything thought of,even the smallest of detail.
We have had the best 3 days at Garthgate Lodge to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The lodge is beautiful and spotlessly clean. Sarah was very welcoming on arrival and explained everything to us as well as recommending places to visit and eat. The welcome basket was a lovely touch. The hot tub was a perfect way to unwind and relax after a busy day sightseeing. Sarah cleaned the hot tub daily and left us a note to say she had done this. We would definitely recommend Garthgate Lodge to family and friends and hopefully will look to return in the future.
It was absolutely lovely, everything you need, such a warm welcome from Sarah ... It was absolutely lovely, everything you need, such a warm welcome from Sarah when we arrived, everything in the lodge was five star, we couldn't fault the place at all and we would love to go back and stay longer next time, the hot tub is a real bonus
We have just returned having stayed for 4 nights Garthgate holiday Lodge and wish we were back. .. A 5 star very comfortable accommodation with everything you needed and a bonus of a fantastic hot tub. Lovely to relax in after the explorations of the day. Sarah the owner was a lovey host and on hand if you required anything and leaving a beautiful welcome pack when you arrived. A overall enjoyable stay. Martin & Marie.
We have just left Garthgate and I am missing it already. A wonderful place to stay. Absolutely everything has been thought of to make this a Five Star stay, from the welcome pack to the hot tub. We definitely want to return. Thank you to Sarah for everything.
Enjoyed our week very much. Garthgate Lodge was to a very high standard and Sarah was most welcoming. The welcome basket was one of best we have ever had. The hot tub was a bonus and serviced daily. The lodge was well situated for touring the area. Would stay again.
It is one of the best holiday lodge we have stayed in. Clean lovely presentation everything is there that you could need, and our puppy. Sarah the owner is very welcoming and the welcome pack is amazing .If you want the best don't hesitate to book.
Elizabeth
Had a wonderful stay at Garthgate lodge warm welcome on arrival. The lodge was just perfect and Sarah has thought of everything even a lovely welcome basket with lovely goodies and our dog also had lovely treats just so thoughtful.i felt so at home and the bed was so comfortable the best night sleeps.would definitely come back and would recommend to family & friends definitely 5 stars from us Liz & Gary
Angela
We couldn't recommend this property highly enough. We had a warm and friendly welcome from the owner on our arrival. The Lodge was spotlessly clean. Great attention to detail, providing everything you could need during your stay and more. We felt at home straight away. There's the added bonus of the hot tub, which also was cleaned every day during our stay. The private courtyardgarden area is great for enjoying the sunny weather and relaxing with a book. We will definitely return for another break.
Garthgate Lodge is an exceptional place to stay. Sarah, the owner, has thought of everything. As an example, Sarah caters for your dog better than a number of places cater for the fee paying humans. There's dog treats, poo bags, dog bed, bowls, etc. As for the Lodge itself, it is equipped to a very high standard, I would say better than most peoples homes. The layout is perfect, the rooms are a great size, the walkin shower is brilliant and big enough for two only for water saving reasons of course . The hot tub is a god send and being undercover, means regardless of the weather, it can be enjoyed all year round. The garden is dog friendly there is a barrier which goes across the Lodge entrance to prevent your dog from escaping and a perfect sun trap. The welcome basket and food provided was absolutely a lovely, tasteful touch. Sarah as an owner, lives on an adjacent property and communication with her was spot on. Having spoken to Sarah on a couple of occasions, she is a lovely person, enjoys catering for guests in the Lodge and really does make people feel welcome. Her suggestion of a nearby beach for our dog was impeccable, so much nicer than Whitby, both for our dog and ourselves. A nicer host you could not find! The best compliment I can give is that we will be coming back here in the near future, to explore Yorkshire a bit more and to enjoy the Lodge again. Would I recommend Garthgate Lodge to others? I would but don't want to as it is a gem I'd rather keep to myself.
Absolutely Amazing property, everything from appliances to decor done to the highest standard the owners have literally thought of everything, we could not think of a single thing that was not in the lodge. The hot tub was checked every day and was a nice warm place to relax after a days sightseeing on several miserable cold days. Nice and secure yard for our dog too. We will definitely return, it is a great base and in within easy walking distance of three pubs and a fish shop.
Perfect Thought of everything
Deborah

Louise
We had the best 4 days in the beautiful Garthgate lodge. Everything has been thought of, the lodge is immaculate, bed is so comfy & all appliances of a high standard. Everything you need & more is provided. Sarah gave us a warm welcome with lots of helpful tips for our stay. The welcome pack was so thoughtful & much appreciated. The hot tub was a welcome addition after a day of exploring North Yorkshire & was so relaxing. Thank you so much for a great holiday, we wont hesitate in recommending your lodge & we look forward to visiting again.
Wow amazing place to stay. Best welcome pack we have had in a cottage. Everything you could ever need is catered for! Spotlessly clean! Bed is super comfortable a bit small for us though as we have a super king at home! no complaints though as it was very comfortable. Loved the furnishings. Owner extremely helpful and nothing was a bother. Even supplied extra coffee pods for me to try fellow Nespresso lover!
Absolutely perfect stay, the accommodation was excellent and had everything needed including all utensils. The hot tub was a very nice touch and we had a very relaxing few days. You can tell this place is new as it had everything needed. Would highly recommend to anybody.
Cherry
We have just spent a week in this beautiful lodge. Everything was perfect. The lovely welcome pack left for us by the owner Sarah was first class. The lodge was immaculate with everything we needed and more besides. The hot tub was welcome after a day out. Can highly recommend.
Adrian
Wow, what a find! We had such a lovely stay, with everything you would ever need for a relaxing getaway. The attention to detail really makes this place special, including the lovely welcome pack with local produce and doggy treats. The hot tub was perfect and really made our stay. The cottage is within walking distance about 20 minutes to two local villages, we recommend the fish and chip shop in Rillington and the Ham and Cheese Pub dog friendly in Scagglethorpe the food at the pub was amazing and had a homely atmosphere. An amazing few days in the cottage, including a trip to nearby Malton. 1010, we will be back!!! Thank you so much for having us and the warm welcome.

We had a wonderful weekend in this fabulously appointed property. So much thought has gone into making it the perfect place to stay to explore the Yorkshire coast. There is a great pub serving good food within walking distance, we loved the hot tub, and we were given a very friendly welcome. Highly recommended, we've already booked for next year.

Fantastic cottage, very homely and kitted out to the highest of standards. Sarah and Pete amazing hosts. Arrived to a really nice welcome pack. Cottage spotlessly clean, bed very comfortable. Hot tub was great to relax in after a long walk with the dog. Would highly recommend.
What an amazing Holiday Lodge, fully equipped to the highest standards, very clean, a really comfortable bed. They have a lovely jacuzzi you can use in your own little yard. We had an amazing welcome pack not only for ourselves but our dog as well. Its a perfect location for all the places to see in North Yorkshire. We loved it and would highly recommend a stay here.

Garthgate Holiday Lodge
This lodge is amazing! Just back after a wonderful 3 night break. The decor/furnishings/equipment is 5*! Excellent location for exploring.

The lodge was immaculate & there was so much attention to detail throughout the lodge & the grounds it had it. Thank You! We will be back & definitely recommend as a great place to stay!

The lodge is extremely clean and very well equipped and the hot tub was lovely after a day of exploring this beautiful area of North Yorkshire. Sarah was the perfect host always on hand but never obtrusive and the welcome basket she provided was very much appreciated. We had a great time and would highly recomend it to others.
Excellent property, fantastic quality furnishings & equipment. There is nothing the owners have not thought of. Great & very generous welcome pack. Very clean & spacious. Good location for getting out & about. The lodge was immaculate & decorated to a very high standard.
Excellent New Modern Lodge
We stayed at Garthgate Holiday Lodge for 4 nights between 17th July and 21st July 2023. When we arrived, the lodge was very well presented and was lovely and clean. What you see in the photo?s is exactly how it is, beautifully decorated throughout. The kitchen is well stocked with all the amenities you can think of, plus more! The bed is amazingly comfortable, giving us 4 nights of great sleep. The bathroom is luxurious including large walk-in raindrop shower. The hot tub was immaculately clean and under cover via a gazebo. We found the temperature to be perfect. Sarah is a very welcoming host and was happy to answer any questions we had. There were so many little touches that made the world of difference, including simple written instructions for appliances placed around the lodge. The jar of hygiene amenities in the bathroom in case you forget anything. Torches in the bedside drawers in case of a power cut during the night (Not that we had a power cut during our stay). Even the high spec free Wi-Fi and Netflix subscription! They really had thought of everything from a guesses perspective and got it covered. We have stayed at similar lodges before and found Garthgate to be superior to them all. We would have no hesitation recommending Garthgate Lodge and will be looking to make a return visit soon. Robert & Melanie

Stayed Friday 14th July till Monday 17th for my partners birthday absolutely loved it didn't want to come home I've stayed in a few hot tub lodges but Sarah the owner as really done her best and a lot more thinking of everything that you could possibly need didn't let the weather spoil it as the hot tub was under the gazebo and went to the ham and cheese pub for some lunch really do rate that for the food really big portions but we will be definitely going back thank you for a lovely stay
This is an outstanding little cottage. Full of the comforts of home. We would have no hesitation to recommend this cottage we had a lovely holiday here and will definitely be making return visits in the future. One thing we would add is that the photos on Sykes website do not do this cottage full justice. The outside patio area is lovely and the hot tub just adds to the overall experience. Excellent holiday.
We loved our stay at Garthgate lodge, it was clean and beautifully furnished. The quality fixtures and fittings really showed and Sarah and Pete could not be more helpful and kind. The location suited us perfectly with easy reach of beaches and dog walks.

Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy.

Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 15 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 15 Miles
Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 15 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ
about 15 Miles
This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too. Look out for special events including the Battle of Peasholm Park Naval Battle which has been described as a "must see".  You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.

Adults can relax and enjoy a coffee and a snack while the kids are having fun.  The site also has a large and rather impressive outdoor area with pet zone and pedal track with Go karts. There is also a pond with fish and a sensory zone where children can touch and feel new and interesting things.
York Maze - YO19 5LT
about 18 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge holiday in Yorkshire then a visit to York Maze is a must! This summertime attraction is now one of the most popular in the region offering fun for the whole family. The maze has been improved this year and is now bigger and better than ever before. Carved from an amazing 1.5 million growing maize plants it is thought to be the largest maze in the world! As well as the maze itself the site boasts an adventure playground, 9 hole crazy golf courses and an animal petting area where children can meet the cute and friendly animals that eat the maize and watch pig racing! Tractor and trailer rides around the maize are also available and are recommended for those with young children.
Jorvik DIG - YO1 9RY

Within the site is a discovery centre, several pits filled with Roman and Medieval ruins and a science lab where children can take part in exciting experiments. Staff are on hand at all times to help the children and to ensure they get the most from the experience. The attraction can get busy during school holidays and pre booking is recommended.

about 20 Miles
Jorvik Viking Centre is a fun and educational attraction offering visitors the chance to learn all about the Viking-Age city of Jorvik. Thanks to the Archaeologists from York Archaeological Trust the amazing houses, workshops and backyards of the Viking-Age city of Jorvik are on display and give a clear insight to the way of life all those years ago.  The site aims to offer an interactive experience with the state of the art time capsule and the blacksmith's furnace being the top attractions.
Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens - YO19 6HP
