Outside this lovely lodge there is a secure, enclosed, pet-friendly garden with an undercover hot tub, gas BBQ and pastoral views all around, you would be forgiven for not leaving the lodge during your stay! You may be rewarded by the sight of a streak of blue as a Kingfisher flies by the owner's pond.

Kingfisher Lodge Reviews

Elizabeth

Kingfisher lodge is set in very peaceful surroundings, the outside space is enclosed allowing for complete privacy, there is plenty of outside seating and a nice covered area on one side of the veranda. The inside space is very spacious, comfortable,clean and well equipped. The walk in shower in the on suite and over the bath in the main bathroom were the best weve ever encountered! The hot tub is large, sheltered and maintained daily by the owners who are very friendly. Brandesburton is only a short walk and has a well stock local shop, a nice 4 mile circular walk to Leven in the other direction takes you across fields, a map for this can be found in the folder. Needless to say we have already booked and are looking forward to our next stay there. Thank you Ali, John and Sasha.

Alison

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kingfisher Lodge very well equipped and clean. Loved the large enclosed garden for our dog and the hot tub was very well received. The great weather made all the difference especially as the car broke down mid week and we had no transport then until Friday evening. Thanks to Ali for pointing us in the direction of the local garage and for picking up some beer for my husband We've already booked again for next year, to stay in Bluebell Wood, which looks great as well.

This was our second visit to Kingfisher Lodge. We had a lovely stay and will be back next year. Lottie loved the enclosed garden, we enjoyed the hot tub and loved seeing the barn owl flying over the field.

Maureen

Lovely holiday lodge, would definitely recommend. It suited us perfectly. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Hot tub was well maintained and relaxing. The walkin shower was very spacious and always plenty of hot water. The hosts maintain the lodges and clean them themselves to a high standard. The garden is very secure especially for little dogs and big dogs alike.

This lodge is the best we have stayed in It was so private and peaceful Very comfortable sofas and beds and everything you could possibly need from corkscrew to washing line and pegs We saw squirrels and rabbits and plenty of bird song too We discovered areas of Bridlington that we never knew existed and really recommend the park and ride for there and visited Hornsea So many nearby beaches that are dog friendly Ali and John left some personal treats for us too on arrival We will definitely be going back as the lodge is perfect .

Robert

Wow. Just a wonderful place to stay. A home from home. Very clean. Very comfortable. Very peaceful. Not surprising to see so many people go back time and time again. We willbe back too.

This lodge is family run and a lot of tender loving care has been taken towards the up keep and maintenance of this lodge. Lots of small details and no expense spared with the set up. The Arnott family are so friendly which makes your stay that bit special and a nice peaceful relaxing holiday. We didnt want the holiday to end.

Lynsey

Had a lovely stay in kingfisher lodge, the lodge was lovely and had everything you could need, the hot tub was fab and the secure garden was perfect for our little dog. Will defo book again.

Melissa

Amazing, the lodge is beautiful and so well equipped, the hot tub is awesome. The lodge is better in real life than it is in the photos. We will definitely be returning

Jeffrey

Front gate latch the nut is missing only the bolt is in place had a great stay. Would be great if you were able to allow access to the meadow for our dogs but otherwise perfect.

Fabulous stay in spotlessly clean cabin. Super comfy beds & couch with 5star under cover hot tub. Complete dog secure garden. Great location for exploring the coast line. Couldnt fault in any way.

Suzanne

Fabulous stay in spotlessly clean cabin. Super comfy beds & couch with 5star under cover hot tub. Complete dog secure garden. Great location for exploring the coast line. Couldnt fault in any way.

Our third visit to Kingfisher Lodge and just like the other two visits everything about the place was perfect for us. Very peaceful due to being set well back from the road and the garden is private as well as being totally secure for our dog to enjoy. If you are looking for somewhere to chill out this lodge is the place to go. The owners Alison & John will be there if you need them, and they have always ensured we have settled in before leaving us to relax. No doubt we will book again.

Amanda

Absolutely lovely place, very welcoming. Dog friendly and he loved it. Spacious and spotless.

Fantastic place. Perfect for dogs with the enclosed garden. Lovely owners. Plenty of places to visit and activities to do. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you Ali x

Duncan

All parts clean and we had everything we needed. Garden very secure and dog friendly. Owners very friendly and helpful. Due to unforseen circumstances we had to leave early. Ali the owner was fantastic and took the pressure off us and for that we are eternally grateful. A great holiday and we would recommend Kingfisher Lodge to anyone.

Louise

Didn't actually stay in kingfisher lodge as there was an booking error however we stayed in the meadowbank lodge and it was absolutely amazing. From first walking in the door we knew it was going to be fantastic, a proper home from home and the weather made it even more amazing. The goodies on arrival were greatly appreciated and absolutely delicious. We got back yesterday afternoon and have already looked at dates for next year and the year after as we enjoyed our stay so much. The enclosed garden made it brilliant for our little dog and we could relax knowing he was safely able to play and run around without worrying he would get out. 5 stars all the way absolutely fantastic can't wait to come back. Will be definitely recommending to family and friends

Christine

Fantastic lodge with every home comfort. Ali and John were brilliant hosts and helped us with a small problem.

The Kingfisher Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. A home from home, which is clean, beautifully decorated and relaxing. The hot tub is amazing and with the secure garden you don't need to worry when the pooch goes exploring in the garden. Within 15 minutes drive from the coast and lovely dog walks around. John and Ali are amazing, friendly hosts and ensure you have everything you need, leaving little touches which are much appreciated when you first arrive and ensure you are happy and settled. This is our 2nd visit here and I am sure it won't be our last. Would definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic week at kingfisher Lodge. So clean and cosy on arrival with welcome cakes and wine to greet us. Lovely quiet location with lots to do nearby. Hot tub amazing to relax in every evening. Will definately return again.

Amazing stay. Lovely place really nice and clean, we were 2 couples, plenty of space for everyone. Treats for the dogs on arrival was a lovely touch. Had everything you could think of needed for a weekend away. 5

Christine

Lovely place so private and peaceful. Everything there that we needed. Very clean and comfortable accommodation.loved all the pictures and ornaments that made it feel very homely. Lovely little touches like brownies , wine and apple juice for us to enjoy.very friendly owners.

A lovely lodge, with all creature comforts of home, owners make sure everything is to a high standard.

Nicola

A beautiful lodge, the nicest I have stayed at and a great location fir the many dog friendly beaches that are a short drive away. Hosts Ali and John were really friendly and welcoming with little treats waiting for us on our arrival. We all had a wonderful time.

Just returned from our third visit and it was excellent as always. Lodge spotless and has everything you need. Since our last stay a few things have changed, the new recling sofas are great nearly nodded off a few times on them and the new simba matress on the bed is so comfy. The brownies and dog treats always a nice little touch. Thanks again Ali see you next year.

Just wonderful place like your own private paradise the area lovely as well ...

Caroline

Lovely week. .nothing we did not like about the lodge everything was there we needed...Will book again in the future...Caroline..Jon and dogs...

Duncan

The pictures of Kingfisher Lodge do not do it justice. The owners Alli & John have put in an electric wood burner and two new reclining sofas which are very comfortable. The lodge was spotless and everything had been thought of to make the stay there as comfortable as possible. The garden for our little dog could not be bettered and it is totally secure, he absolutely loved it ! Alli and John are very helpful and friendly and any problems are very quickly rectified. We could not have had a better or more relaxing time in what is a very high end lodge and we would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked for next year !

Absolutely beautiful lodge. Cannot say one bad thing about it. It's perfect. Will definitely stay again.

Pauline

The property is first class, cleanliness was spot on and with the property being fully enclosed it made it easier for those that have a four legged friend that is an escape artist, it helped us to be able to relax. The only comments I would like to make is that the shower has no grab rails, and the other is that unfortunately the furniture was not comfortable as it looked

Wesley

Absolutely loved this lodge! Facilities spot on, hot tub amazing, little touches especially appreciated like doggy treats. Will definitely recommend

I cannot recommend The Kingfisher Lodge enough. Beautiful lodge, very comfortable and everything catered for. Our dog loved the run of his own garden and we were put at ease with how secure it was for him whilst we relaxed in the hot tub. The owners Ali and John are lovely and went out of their way to make our holiday as perfect as it was. We loved it that much we have already booked for next year

Rebecca

Looked just like the photos. The secluded plot allowed us to let the pooch out without worry. Lovely touches when arrived and owners on hand to help. Really lovely relaxing stay.

Keeley

We had a lovely stay. The lodge had everything we needed. Alison popped in to say hi which was lovely and I felt assured anything I needed would be covered. The enclosed garden was fantastic for our dogs and removed any stress of them getting out. We would definitely book again.

Rachel

Me and my wife had a wonderful time here with our two dogs for our mini honeymoon! It was an amazing break away after the chaos of a wedding day. One of the best lodges weve ever been to and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Lodge excellently equipped, very clean, quiet and private, great hot tub undercover so when it rain you can still use tub. Only very slight issue with heating pipes banging in morning mentioned it to owners and they said they would sort it We would definitely return had a great week away and definitely recommend the lodge.

It's a really nice and tranquil place to be. The landlords are really prompt in solving issues. Overall, we were very pleased

Our second visit and we have just finished booking again for next year as we dont want to miss out on this gem getting booked up. Excellent place to stay and the welcome treats a really nice touch the kids loved the home grown apple juice and brownies. Ali always lovely and welcoming.

The personal touch of the homemade brownie and apple juice was a lovely touch had a lovely holiday the lodge was even better in real life than the pictures would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break.
