The Sequoia Reviews

We had a perfect 4 night stay at sequoia Such a beautiful luxurious caravan with everything you need, situated in a lovely peaceful location. It has a lovely garden and fabulous hot tub and there is a great pub just over the road. Alison welcomed us with home made scones jam and clotted cream, the best scones I've ever eaten. Nothing is too much trouble for Alison and Martin, they are doing a great job
Absolutely thought it was lovely cabin and personal touch they put in for us was lovely would recommend
Jennifer
Weve stayed at The Sequoia several times now. Its a nice quiet place to stay. A nice welcome pack left for us too.
Hosts was lovely & friendly. .. it was in a quite lovely place... everything was just lovely... will go back again.....
Everything is as described and advertised.
Lianne
Gorgeous lodge would definitely recommend. The hot tub was a bonus and throughly enjoyed by us all. The fresh scones with cream and jam went down a treat! Alison was always on hand should you need her. The beds were comfy and the lodge had everything we needed. We would definitely come again. The pub over the road is a must but make sure you book as its always busy and worth every penny! Thank you!
Great caravan, very comfortable. Loved the hot tub. Great pub over the road food is brilliant and lovely owners. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thankyou for a great stay.
Malcolm
A1 Perfect Stay We loved our week away at The Sequoia. The lodge is so cosy and welcoming. Scones with strawberries jam and cream on arrival were simply divine. Private hot tub is a massive must have. Martin and Alison lovely couple who just left us alone to do our own thing. But they were on hand if we needed them. Lastly. Bambi and Holly 2 adorable ponies, we both fell in love with them. Looking forward to our next visit hopefully real soon.
Had a really great week at The Sequoia. It was a great base to travel the north west coast. The lodge was very clean and well presented. Hot tub was a welcome addition each evening after travelling. Scones, jam and cream as well as crisps and milk was a nice welcoming touch. Owners very friendly. Ample parking. Would definitely return. Many thanks.
Rebecca
Absolutely amazing place to stay, hot tub was my absolute favourite and we had scones and jam with cream on our arrival. Small details made a huge difference like washing up liquid, cloth, sponge tea towel, and bath towels provided. Scenery is so beautiful and in good distant of Scarborough, whitby and Robin hoods bay. I met the owner on the last day and he was very pleasant. Was amazing and would definitely go back again. No faults at all.
Jacqueline
In a very quite rural part quite scenic place lovely personal touch with the homemade cake and wine upon our arrival. Hot tub fantastic very powerful too. A brilliant little country pub in the village with excellent food.
Alison and Martin made us feel very welcome and went that extra mile to help me and my partner celebrate our engagement. They were very friendly and approachable. We can't wait to come back again.
Richard
Paid for the lodge with a hot tub only to be informed we gad to pat another 50 to use it. Never saw the owners during our 4 day stay.Pub directly over the road one of the finest in Yorkshire.
We had a lovely stay, the owners are very welcoming and friendly. The information pack was great. The facilities great and the little extras was awesome and really appreciated, thank you. We would definitely stay again.
Kathleen
Beautiful, very peaceful location enabling us to enjoy a very relaxing holiday. Overall the lodge was very comfortable, well equipped, and immaculately clean, and we were greeted on arrival by Martin, the owner, who made us feel very welcome. There were scones, jam, and cream waiting for us when we arrived and this was a lovely touch. We made full use of the hot tub which was a real bonus and the pub across the road is highly recommended. We suspect that the unit might not have been occupied in the days leading up to our stay, and as the weather was chilly, we found the indoor temperature and particularly the bed rather cold until Martin adjusted the boiler. That said we really enjoyed our stay, would fully recommend it to others, and would be more than happy to return.
Lovely cottage. Nice hot tub. Easy walking to the cinder track great for walking.
We had a thoroughly lovely stay at The Sequoia. We were warm and cosy and had everything we needed and more. The location was great for exploring the coast and places inland. The hosts were friendly but not at all intrusive. We absolutely didn't want to leave and will definitely return.
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.

Attractions Near The Sequoia

While there'll be plenty to keep you entertained an The Sequoia itself, if you plan to get out and about and see some of what Vale of York has to offer, here are some of the nearby attractions you can enjoy during your stay. Please note that some of these activities and days out are paid and it's always a good idea to book in advance to secure your place where applicable.

Found a special day out near your cottage? Please let us know and we'll add it so that other visitors can enjoy it too!
The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 2 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.
Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 3 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.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 3 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 4 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.
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.
Castle Howard - YO60 7DA
about 24 Miles
Castle Howard is one of the regions most beautiful and historic landmarks and is located in 1,000 acres of parkland with breathtaking gardens to explore. As well as exploring the castle visitors can enjoy attractios including the unique Land Train - the best way to see the entire park. There is also a large lake offering boat trips during the summer months. In high season the site is very popular with families and offers organised activities for children including tours, talks, crafting and animal encounters. The site also has a Nature Trail which is fun for the whole family and an Adventure Playground where children can run off some energy.
Yorkshire Lavender - YO60 6PB
about 26 Miles
Yorkshire Lavender is an amazing award winning attraction offering breathtaking panoramic views of York, a Café, Plant Nursery and Lavender Gardens. The 60 acre site is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is an excellent choice for a day trip. The onsite shops sells Lavender products such as bath and body treats, skincare, medicine and herbal remedies.
