Rose Lodge

Excellent overall.

Scenic + peaceful location and only a short drive from York. Thoroughly enjoyed by the adults and kids alike! Would definitely recommend

Rose Lodge is in a beautiful setting, peaceful, quiet and a perfect location to see amazing countryside around North Yorkshire.

An hours drive to Whitby, Bridlington, Scarborough and other areas. The quaint villages with the local pubs have fabulous meals so you can't to wrong. The lodge has everything you need from a dish washer to washing machine. It is spacious with a lovely decking and grass area for the children to play and keep themselves entertained. My only wish, due to the fabulous weather, was a hot tub or pool unfortunately we can't get everything all the time.

We had a lovely stay!

The house had everything we needed with some beautiful views and a great location.

Had a wonderful stay at the Lodge.

It had everything we needed and the location was great for exploring.

This is potentially an excellent property in a superb location for exploring York and North Yorkshire.

However, we identified a number of issues that need to be addressed before we could recommend it to our friends or family, as follows: - It was extremely difficult to locate the property in the dark, as the lights on the gates were not in operation and we could not see the litter bin as it was small and black. - The drive was in a state of disrepair due to potholes and an uneven surface. - The parking spaces were sufficient for two cars but were extremely difficult to manoeuvre into due to the trees on the drive. - Ensure that you have provisions when you arrive, as there is no welcome pack of milk, etc, and the local shop closes relatively early! We had to go to Tesco, which is about 6 miles away. - The fridge was very small and did not have the milk bottle holder, as it was missing from the door, which made storage for 5 people very difficult. - There was only enough washing up liquid for one lot of washing-up!! - There was a hole in the lounge wall that looked unsightly. - The sofas were very uncomfortable, with no foot-stools - The shower head in the communal bathroom seemed to have some sort of bag tied around it. - All the beds were very uncomfortable and the mattresses in the Premier Inn we stayed in on the way up were luxurious in comparison. - The en-suite bathroom door could not be properly shut as there was a gap of about 3", which meant that there was no possibility of privacy. - The Highwayman Pub is the only place to eat locally and it is very good. However, it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

It was a wonderful place to stay and were made to feel very welcome by the owner.

Would definately recommend as very comfortable and convenient for site seeing, we will come back

Robert was a wonderful host.

We were very comfortable and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. We explored the local village and beautiful countryside. We plan to return soon.

Great place to stay only issue was with the location and nothing around food wise or nightlife but for a quiet time away it’s perfect

The property has a wonderful panarama across the meadow and provides a comfortable base to relax whilst watching the local wildlife.

My husband enjoyed photographing two deer and a barn owl that each evening flew across the meadows.

Our stay at the cottage was excellent.

The place had all the amenities we required and the kitchen was well-equipped. We enjoyed the comfort and convenience of the accommodation. The owner is nice and ready to help.

We had a lovely time in Rose Lodge.

The views were fantastic. The owner was brilliant and we loved our welcome pack which was a lovely surprise. Considering the weather was extremely cold outside the Lodge was so warm and cosy. I’m sure Rose Lodge will be fantastic in the summer.

Beautiful high end finish and setting.

We think the lodge deserved higher quality beds.Cannot fault the location and really appreciated the grocery box.

Very high quality of accommodation.

Spacious, well-equipped and in an excellent location for exploring the Yorkshire Wolds, the Howardian Hills and their lovely villages and market towns.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rose Lodge.

It is an amazing place with excellent facilities and a very convenient location to explore all that North Yorkshire has to offer The welcome basket with all the essentials that you would need when you arrived was a lovely gesture. The lodge was very clean throughout and had everything we needed. The temperature was just right in the lodge. If there was an option for 10 stars they would get that without a problem.

We had a fantastic stay at Rose Lodge, the welcome basket was very much appreciated after a very long journey, thank you.

We felt we had found a holiday haven, it was so quiet and the views were absolutely stunning. Our children loved the swing ball in the garden, the BBQ was a great addition. We loved we were in the countryside but only 10 miles from York. We would definitely return x

Fantastic lodge, exactly what was described.

The lodge was beautiful, well kept, clean and secure. The location is central and within walking distance of Sheriff Hutton (fabulous park for young children) and a short drive to many local amenities.

Owner very friendly and responsive

Great place for peace and quiet.

A couple of initial hiccups were quickly rectified. Would definitely recommend. Good for a base to visit surrounding areas if wanted. Washing machine, dishwasher and freezer, as well as fridge and cooker. Lots of utensils and pans. We look forward to staying there again.

This self catering lodge is absolutely top notch.

Quality fittings and furniture and has everything you could possibly need. The views from rose lodge are wonderful and we felt really spoilt. The owners had left us a few items for the kitchen and our little one loved the mini cereals. Great location for day trips. Couldn’t have been happier. Thankyou!

We had a lovely stay at Rose Lodge.

However please take these few requests as a positive and not a negative. The bath could have done with "grip handles' in for ease of leaving the bath ! Also the shower in the same bathroom, the height adjustment clip adjuster was missing which caused the shower not to flow freely and more often than not if faced the wall. Some instructions for the oven and washing machine would have been helpful as a 59 minute wash ended up nearly 2 hours with clothing being dryed as well which caused a pair of trousers to shrink. On the night of arrival it was a little chilly but no heating could be turned on. Finally a contact number would have been great in case of contact being needed ie we need the heating on. All in all a lovely lodge and would very highly recommend !

Clean, warm cottage.

Beds really comfortable. Quiet location. Some small improvements could be: more soap, toilet rolls and washing up liquid (as these didn’t last the week), a better cheese grater, an outside storeroom for bikes etc. We loved the huge sofa!

We very much enjoyed staying in the cottage.

It is very well equipped and beds are very confortable. Location is really good for visiting York and the National Park, as well as the coast. Also, it was really lovely to arrive to a warm house where the owner had left a small welcome hamper. We would recommende it to our friends!

Sykes should make clear that there are only two cottages on the site.

The cottages are better than the majority of the cottages that we have rented over the last 40 years. They are well located, beautifully fornished and comfortatable. The owners are lovely They provided a lot of food for the first days. We will stay here again.
