We really enjoyed our stay at The Lodge. The property was modern, clean and well appointed. Any questions we had prior to our visit were answered promptly. We loved the peace and quiet and the location was excellent, a 10 minute walk to a few shops and a bit further to Goathland train station. We would definitely return and would recommend staying here.

A very peaceful break
A truly lovely accommodation and we found it to be spotlessly clean. Very well equipped with light, moder with all high end fixtures and fittings throughout. Gorgeous views from both bedrooms. The TV as mentioned in other reviews is not that straightforward as all we needed was live BBC or ITV, we could only find Iplayer or ITVx, plenty of TV apps though. That said we weren't desperate to watch the TV anyway. We were a party of four adults all in our 70s and had booked just a two night break, we would gladly return but would have preferred a walk in shower as the bath (with overhead and hand held showers) is quite high and deep with no hand rail to help to assist with climbing in and out along with glass screen doors we all felt it was possibly an accident waiting to happen, that was our only negative but had we been staying longer it would have proven to be a very big negative. Great parking, nice to have the outside table and chairs too! We were met on arrival by Ben the owner who just happened to at home next door we were greeted very warmly and told if we needed anything he would be only to happy to help. All in all a great place, sadly not having the walk in shower was our only reason for not returning in the future.
