Bracken Howe Lodge Reviews

Rachel
Really appreciated both our lodge & all the facilities at Lady Cross beautifully maintained. Loved walks in the woodland & meeting the chickens , listening to the birdsong Our lodge had every comfort required to enjoy a super family holiday & reunion with cousins over from Australia . We especially appreciated relaxing in the hot tub Ideal location for easy access to the beautiful Yorkshire Coast & Countryside and plenty of wonderful cafes , pubs , fish and chips Many thanks to all who ensure Lady Cross is a brilliant holiday destination
The Tomlins Family
A Lovely time at Bracken Howe Lodge. Wonderful evening walks through the plantation enjoyed seeing deer, rabbits and birds a very peaceful location and relaxation in the hot tub! We had a great time on the beach at Runswick Bay, homemade scones at Falling Foss tea rooms, lovely drives through the dramatic Yorkshire moors and more tea rooms!! Fun exploring the Yorkshire Moors Railway and family fun relaxing at the lodge. Thank you for a great stay!!
The Ledwidge Family
This is our 3rd visit to Ladycross but our first in this lodge. We really enjoyed the hot tub this time. The lodge had everything we needed and we had a lovely time. Thank you very much we will return!
Loved the goody bag. Great to see some toiletries and cleaning materials. A problem with the door lock which was sorted very quickly. The lodge was very clean. Plenty of items to cook with. The oven was clean. A few cobwebs but not an issue. Beds were comfy. Loved the hot tub , but it would have been a bit better if some of the trees were cut back to have some sun on the porch. Plenty of information about the lodge and surrounding area. Although there was only four of us there was plenty of room for six. We had a great family holiday, and my mum of 91 was very impressed.
Alison
Excellent. Perfect little getaway and very well equipped. Very clean, but few cobwebs didn't spoil our stay
We had a lovely stay thank you!
Stephen
Lovely lodgeour second visit to the site. Everything you need in a peaceful setting. We will be back.
Pauline & Steve
Fabulous Cabin, clean, and comfortable with beautiful large white towels. Perfect weather all week so we enjoyed coastal walks everyday. The site was very peaceful and we definitely will be coming back later on in the year, bring friends with us. wonderful place to relax and unwind
Alice, George, Helen And Michael
Lovely stay between Christmas and New Year. Nice location being so near the coast and we enjoyed and made the most of walks around the area. Nice relaxing stay, Thanks!
Firstly the camera work makes this place look very spacious, imo this accommodation is suited to 4 occupants at most . On arrival we found there is no curtain at the front door ,which is right opposite both bedroom doors ,luckily there was no one occupying the opposite lodge . When we went to cook on the first night my wife had to spend 40 mins cleaning the oven ,as oven was not clean at all ,we do have photos if disputed on wife's phone ,we found an empty bubble bath bottle down the back of the bath , several cobwebs and a cake wrapper in the cupboard upstairs where the upstairs hoover is stored ,which would have been easy to see if you were to use the hoover . We left a day early as both double beds had mattresses that had seen better days and were not kind to my wife's back , we slept on the two single beds for 2 nights as the beds are higher and the mattresses are newer and had to bring the the blind from upstairs to provide some privacy at the front door . The lodge is set in quite a nice area but I think would be quite busy if all lodges were fully occupied ,but as it was quiet this was not an issue . The kitchen is well equipped with very good appliances un clean oven already mentioned , perhaps bigger tvs in all rooms . The hi light was the hot tub which was most welcome after a walk We have stayed with sykes before and enjoyed it very much but this time not so much .
Dr A Dorst
Absolutely Wonderful! Wellequipped, spacious and such peaceful surroundings, we spotted squirrels, bunnies, alas no deer. The children loved the hottub it made every day perfect. Great trips to Whitby we recommend the park and ride. Staithes beach and the hidden castle at Mulgrave. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. People at reception were so nice and helpful. Lovely welcome package. A hidden Gem.
Chris, Val, Imogen And Izzy.
Wonderful treat for us. Such a lovely place, so much to do and see we wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks for the welcome Yorkshire Brack it's a real discovery! Loved everything about the lodge and the surroundings.
George, Trish, Andy, Doll, Steph And Vanessa
Great time and a great place to reconnect with old friends. Lots of laughs with the hot tub and playing cards. Super location to visit the Yorkshire Coast and was easy to get to for all, even the Australians.
A lovely property that had everything we needed. The roaming chickens were lovely to watch and the woodland walks were very peaceful
Daniel
Outstanding accommodation. The kids loved the hot tub and the chickens. We loved the lodge and the woodland setting. Just what we all needed. We were undesturbed the whole week of our stay. Only 15 minutes drive away from fabulous beaches and even less for evening meals. We will definitely be back.
Tracey And Phil, Jayne And Phil
The lodge was very clean. Welcome pack was very sweet, enjoyed the bickies. Perfect time away, so peaceful. We have been everywhere. Whitby park and ride is a good way to get to Whitby without worrying about parking. The Witchers Post Inn Egton village is fab place to eat. Highly recommend the steam train Goathland to Pickering.
Wonderful lodge in a tranquil environment. All equipment you would ever need. Comfortable beds. Great bathrooms. Hot tub enjoyed by us. Witching Post pub down the road is fantastic with great meals at good prices. Whitby and the coast only 5 miles away. And in Yorkshire!! What more could you ask for!!
Beautiful Lodge & location amongst the trees! Great days out, lots done in a short space of time. Lodge lovely and clean. Very pleasant place to stay. Thank you for the welcome bag. Fab meals at The Witching Post Lovely well recommended! Thank you for making our stay so lovely.
We had a great time at the lodge. From the outside the lodge is starting to look just a little worn in but once you step through the door the nice open plan living area worked really well and felt very luxurious. The only builds wed have were the beds themselves, though spacious werent very comfortable for us too soft and supporting so both have left with some backache There was also building work taking place during our stay which we werent informed about looks like new access being created for additional lodges close by so check when youre booking as does interrupt the tranquility when youre relaxing in the hot tub. Hot tub was great for us as a 2, be mindful if youre a party of 6 that its a 34 person tub. Plenty big enough for us, but would be very snug for 6. Overall the lodge worked really well for us, and despite never fully working out the temperature to cool the bathrooms a little the velux windows throughout upstairs made it easy to regulate.
Rachel
Such a beautiful and clean modern lodge with everything you could possibly need for your stay. I had a very peaceful and a very enjoyable short break in wonderful surroundings. All instructions were very clear and quick responses when I asked questions via text. I would definitely recommend.
Brenda,Derek, Dave, Sally, Brian And Emily
Had a wonderful 2nd Visit at this lodge. Great Location and lots to see and visit in the area. Hope to come again.
Carole And Paul
Thank you so. The Place is amazing. Nice and Clean. Thank you for the welcome pack, very nice, also the hot tub is nice. We will be back next year we hope. We enjoyed every min of it! P.S. Nice to have a bit if snow lots while in hot tub!
Lovely property, well maintained with excellent facilities. The hot tub was fantastic
Joyce And Family
This has been on my bucket list to visit with some of the family for some time and the last 3 days have excelled expectation. Thank you so much for a wonderful 3 night stay at your beautiful lodge. the accommodation has been immaculate and well equipped. My husband and myself had a seasonal caravan here for 15 years, and due to ill health we had to leave in 20132014. Just when the lodges were going up in Kieron and Lisa's early days. It was great excitement for us all. Alan and I practically lives here in the summer and have many happy memories here with ours 3 grandchildren.
Scoitt And Leanda
We have had a wonderful autumn break. The Lodge is simply wonderful. We have enjoyed every moment
Sara, Sarah, Jo, Fay, Jo & Tracy
Had an amazing long weekend celebrating the 50th Birthdays. The lodge is beautiful, the hot tub's lovely & the beds comfy. Thank you for the welcome pack! Loved the whole area & friendly chickens Thank You
Comfortable, clean, spacious and well equipped lodge in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Plenty of room for our family of three. We loved the mezzanine level with comfortable bed and modern ensuite. The other bedrooms were a good size and the family bathroom with the free standing bath was lovely. The hot tub is a great edition and we managed to use it every day even though the weather wasn't brilliant. Although the wooden decking outside and on the doorstep gets very slippy in the rain. We struggled with the television at first and there is a lack of plug sockets in the living area. The kettle could also do with a descale. Great location for exploring Whitby and the surrounding area. Highly recommended the witching post inn for a Sunday lunch! Overall a brilliant place for a quiet and relaxing break. Bring some feed for the chickens!
Richard
Very relaxing loverly place to stay
My family and i had a week in this lovely lodge 5 adults and 2 under 1s. ..plenty of room everything we could need hot tub was wonderful peaceful and quiet site ,lodge surrounded by trees...would highly recommend this place we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Overall cleanliness extremely poor, eg , pots and pans greasy and dirty, cushions on sofa all stained and grubby, handles on drawers in bedrooms loose and dirty inside, had to clean both toilets ourselves, all floors dirty, dishwasher door broken really dangerous if a child opened it,stayed at ladycross before in another lodge and all fine, you advertise it as five star accommodation but its no where near that , great location but accommodation really disappointing.
Mandy & Richard
Wow what a peaceful place, so chilled. Lodge lovely and clean, everything you need. thank you for the gift pack, will be back soon
Dan, Claire, Connie And Flo.
Great week, loved the lodge, fantastic hot tub for relaxing, loved watching the chickens roam. Peaceful setting in the woodland. Lots of day trips to Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hoods Bay. Thank you for the welcome pack, amazing Yorkshire Brack.
Anne, Stuart, Mikey, Isobel, Freddie & Effie
A Wonderful week! Such a beautiful place fully equipped, wanting for nothing! The setting is amazing. We were so chilled during our holiday and feel very relaxed. Only drawback for us old folk was that we struggled with the TV. Our younger people also couldn't do it. However, would we return you bet your life we would! Thanks for the gift pack as well. Chickens were a bonus we even bought special hen food from Whitby pet shop!
Nice Place Ladycross Plantation Caravan Park is lovely, we enjoyed many walks and enjoyed seeing the wildlife. The park is clean, tidy and quiet. The lodge is lovely and overall we enjoyed our stay. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Although the hot tub is relaxing, we had to bring our own towels which is unusual and there was no where to hang them up whilst in the hot tub. The decking was slippy in places, because no sunshine managed to dry the decking because of the trees coverage.
The lodge was lovely, it had everything that you would need for your stay there. The upstairs bedroom the only plug socket I could see that was free was located in a awkward spot, could not dry my hair there. Unless I missed one. One more gripe, the owners had no control over this. Every time we went to use the hot tub we was attacked by flies making it impossible to use it, we eventually went and bought a fly catcher. A little goodie bag was left for us at the beginning of our stay, nice touch. Overall nice place to stay.
The Hannah Family
Our second visit here and enjoyed it every bit as much! Reccommend The Stables for delicious food. Trenchers' fish and chips also delicious. Enjoyed a walk fro Robin Hoods Bay into Whitby. Lots of fun exploring. Thank you!
We had an amazing stay at Bracken Howe! We were lucky enough to have perfect weather too! The lodge was perfect and all 6 of us had a great time. We will definitely be back and would 100 recommend for others. It was a good distance away from places to be quiet but also easy to travel in when we wanted to. Also enjoyed walking to the Wheatsheaf in Egton. No footpath though so a bit precarious on a fast road with a pram but the staff and the food were great!
The Case And Bridge Families
Thank you! So well equipped with everything. Loved the hot tub. Highly recommend the Wheatsheaf for a superb meal. We had eggs from the site shop chickens DELICIOUS. We will be back.
Mrs J Sietniekas
We've had a lovely break here. The furnishings are of a high standard and we were very comfortable. The location is fabulously peaceful and quiet. We loved the hot tub! This is well situated for touring. Thank you! Highly recommended.
J And M Strachan
We had a lovely break. The hot tub is so relaxing. The peaceful surroundings are nice. The lodge is in the right location. Jim took to the chickens, they're friendly and started to follow him. Would recommend the Witching Post pub. Thank you we will come back soon we hope.
