The Sequoia Reviews

Philip

Could do with sharp knives, working tin opener, working toaster, and a bigger fry pan.

Hayley

Absolutely beautiful lodge with The Bryherstones inn being across the road for gorgeous food and drinks, the lodge had a really homely feel to it and arriving to fresh scones, clotted cream, jam and milk was an absolute bonus, really comfy bed, and all utensils, tea, coffee etc provided. Hot tub was a bonus and made the weekend feel really luxurious with robes and towels provided also. Highly recommend The Sequoia for a romantic weekend getaway for couples, will definitely be returning.

Jennifer

Lovely clean holiday accommodation. Owners were very helpful. Would stay there again.

Jacqueline

Alison & Martin were extremely help and Martin provided a electric socket outside were my husband was able to charge up his mobility scooter thank you. The lodge was just as we expected and was well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub every evening which was a delight. Thank you Alison & Martin xx From Jackie & family

We had a amazing time here, the lodge was absolutely gorgeous it had everything we could have asked for, extremely clean and comfortable the owners were lovely and very helpful, the hot tub was perfect at the end of a long day out and about just heaven! !!!! We will definitely book to come back, Thank you so much Martin and Alison Im so glad I found this little gem

Excellent holiday home with excellent facilities and comfort.

Only disappointment was the pub across the road, it was only open on certain days

Robert

Very good, found the property was as advertised. And would like to think we could stay there again, if we go back to that area.

Just back from a lovely weeks stay at the Sequoia. Lovely warm welcome from the owners.A nice little hamper on our arrival, and lots of thoughtful little touches.Toiletries and toilet rolls,dressing gowns for use with the hot tub. Great base for exploring the area,we were lucky with good weather and it was lovely to come back to the lodge after a day out.A nice relax in the hot tub at the end of the day was just the icing on the cake. My only niggle was that there wasnt a sharp knife in the kitchen which made cooking a little tricky having to use a bread knife to cut veg.It didnt spoil the holiday though.Otherwise the kitchen is well equipped.I will recommend this property to my family and friends and would love to return again one day.

Great holiday good location not far from whitby, scarborough etc accommodation was good bit more like a caravan than a lodge but still nice. Hot tub was a nice addition but should be included in price not a add on . The owners stayed out of our way so we could enjoy our holiday.The milk and scones was a nice addition.

Just returned from a lovely relaxing stay can thoughly recommend the sequoia we were a family of 3 and had ample room the welcome milk and scones was lovely after a long travel. Owners were lovely our daughter loved the horses and the owners wee dogs. Also the pub across the road was great for a meal or just a few drinks. We will definitely be returning in the future look forward to it. The Warnock family Northern Ireland.

This is a fantastic location for a quiet holiday, lots of facilities around it, nearest pub is 50 yards, bus into Scarborough or Whitby, is a 20 minute walk, the hosts are lovely, pleasant and relaxing, wouldn't book anywhere else in Cloughton.

Malcolm

Nice spacious caravan. First impressions the property looked clean but after a while noticed dust on the lights, against skirting board and particularly on the desk fan provided in one of the cupboards. No toilet roll in caravan when we arrived but owner did bring over 2x rolls when we brought this to her attention. Welcome pack of 2x scones, butter, a small pot of jam, strawberries and small bottle of fresh milk in the fridge greatly appreciated, thank you, although the scones were a little stale. The caravan seating and beds were comfortable. Main issue for us was privacy as the property is overlooked by the caravan next door and the owners stables meaning we had to keep all of the blinds closed when inside the caravan as people were walking to and from the stables throughout the day. This was also an issue when using the recliners on the astroturf area. The only place where we were not overlooked was the hot tub area. We enjoyed the hot tub all week, for which we paid 50 extra, but we were disappointed to find that we couldn't use the hot tub on the final evening as it would be emptied. At times we experienced noise from the owners dogs barking and someone riding a motorcycle or quad bike in the yard. Another issue was the dog mess that appeared on the astro turf outside the caravan on the morning of our departure which we had to negotiate in order to pack our car. To summarize, we had an enjoyable week in North Yorkshire but we prefer our holiday accommodation to be quieter and more secluded private, so we will not be returning.

Jonathan

Cottage was lovely but we felt as if we were intruding because of where it was located. After reading reviews we realised we had not received what other people had in our welcome pack. We have not received our 50 bond back yet. We enjoyed the break but would not visit this location again

Philip

Super property. Great location. Lovely owners. Will be back.

Hayley

Wow, wow & wow fabulous property with everything you need, there is so much provided. The lodge is spotlessly clean & maintained to a very high standard. Hot tub was an added bonus, the extra cost is well worth it, the leg muscles appreciated it after the lovely long walks. Thank you Alison & Martin for a lovely stay, you made us feel.so welcome.

Stacey

Very nice lodge, very clean and tidy. Owners very helpful and polite. Hot tub was very well maintained and very clean Surrounding area was good with amazing views overall a fantastic stay xx

Alison and Martin, Thank you for such a peaceful getaway. It has exceeded all expectations and the addition of fresh milk and cakes made us feel so welcome. The hot tub was the cherry on top! 1010 would recommend and we will definitely be rebooking! Thanks again! Barrie, Katie, Jack and Harley x

Have stayed here 3 times now and it gets better each time. Not much more I can add from previous reviews. Great place to stay fabulous location.

Michael

Beautiful holiday home and could not fault it, very clean and tidy . Hot tub is a real bonus and a nice powerful shower. Cream tea on arrival was a really nice treat.

Leslie

Rather lacking in dishes to cook in for the oven. A lighter weight duvet in the summer with blankets as extra if needed should the weather turn chilly. A lovely comfortable property and would definitely return again. Owners extremely friendly and helpful.

Aleksandra

Fabulous week spent at The Sequoia, great location, peaceful. Just in the right place to go exploring, great walks, great food, everyone so pleased to see you. The Sequoia is exactly as the pictures show, wouldn't hesitate to book again and would highly recommend.

Rachel

Perfect location for visting yorkshire coast line . Peaceful setting and welcome pack of cream scones and milk was a great gesture for the start of our holiday . Hot tub was very private behind gate and perfect for soaking in after a day of walking slopes hills .

Clean, generally comfortable, lovely hot tub. What lets it down is the lack of detail kitchen only 4 mugs, one dishwasher tablet, no small sharp knives. Bathroom only one full toilet roll, horrendous old, thin, scratchy towels.

Sylvia

What a lovely location stunning views , peaceful and plenty to do all at your own pace . The reception was 1st class and very helpful . If you don't want to cook plenty of eat out places right on the door step . Thank you for a beautiful stay .

Property itself was impeccable. Everything at first sight was first class. Dressing robes and slippers provided, all bathshowershampoos included. The outside was a delight seeing lots of wildlife and the owners poniesdogs. Our only but biggest problem was that neither myself or my wife had a full nights sleep because of the state of the mattresses, indeed the second twin room was not even made up. My wife had to sleep in the twin room on a surplus duvet, covered by lounge sofa covers for the whole stay. It was a bonus to use the hot tub every day as our muscles and whole bodies ached so much because of the mattress springs which came into our backs. This stay was to celebrate my birthdayour wedding anniversary and now we come away wanting to sleep on our OWN BED, to get a good nights sleep. My wife did mention the problem to the owners wife only to be told 'well nobody has mentioned this before'. Let me now inform you ALL THE MATTRESSES in the Sequoia were of a substandard quality, and for the amount I paid, I felt we deserved better.

A beautiful lodge in a great location for getting about. Spotlessly clean and super comfortable. The hot tub was a real bonus for us, we loved it. Would definitely recommend this lodge for a peaceful, relaxing break.

Lovely stay

Kathleen

Very clean and comfortable property, well kitted out with everything needed if I was being very, very, very picky I'd ask for some hooks in the bathroom! Nice welcome pack left by the owners who were friendly and helpful but not in your face. The lodge looks small but is surprisingly spacious and there was lots of storage in the bedrooms. The surroundings are well kept with seating areas and well lit at night.

Angela

An outstanding property, situated in an ideal location, the property was very clean and tidy, with a welcome basket of bread, milk, butter, jam and biscuits, large outdoor area leading to the hot tub, this area is very nicely done, we would book this property again.

Excellent accommodation with everything you need for a great stay.

Our break was brilliant, clean and relaxed, owners were happy to help just a text or phone call away. Hot tub was nice bonus even in December 1010, will be staying again!

Very nice couple lovely area will definitely be coming back

Absolutely brilliant location. Ideal for couples. Plenty of lovely places to visit if you have a car, but there is a good frequent bus service into Scarborough or Whitby. Very comfortable, cosy, relaxable and peaceful place to stay. This is our second time we have stayed and will definitely be back again. The hot tub is a big plus. Everything is provided cooker fridge microwave kitchen utensils heating and bedding. The owners are very helpful if needed but otherwise just leave you alone to enjoy your break.

Elizabeth

From the friendly welcome, the pack of milk, bread, butter, jam, maramalade, coffee ect. Our visit was exactly what ww needed for a much needed break. Many thanks to our host, Alison and Martin

Beautiful lodge in a peaceful and picturesque location with a pub literally a stones throw away! The local cake, butter and milk were great welcoming surprises too. There was a great outdoor area for our girls to play and the hot tub was one of the best we have ever had on a stay! The location is perfect. Only 15 minutes away and you're in Scarborough where there is everything you could need Try Emma's Cafe cakes are fabulous!. A similar journey north and you're at the gorgeous Robin Hood's Bay or inland and you have Pickering on the doorstep. Wonderful, friendly hosts who are approachable but leave you in privacy to enjoy your stay. Already planning a return! Well recommended.

Great owners who are a bit special in help advice and commentant to a great holiday. it is a great lodge in a first class location. thanks.

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.

Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP

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.

Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP

You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.

Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS

about 6 Miles

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.

Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW

about 17 Miles

Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out. It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys. Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo. Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
