Stag Lodge Holiday Retreat Reviews

Great location for park and ride for Whitby. Stables pub literally on the doorstep. Great hot tub. We will be back.
I would highly recommend Stag Lodge Holiday Retreat. . We had the best time with our Grandson and two dogs, the lodge was ideal, the hot tub was a super treat at the end of the day.. The peacocks and the horses, Lady & Elvis added to our experience and made it extra special for our 6yr old Grandson.. Thank you, we will be returning this beautiful location.
Lesley
Stag Lodge is a cosy, well equipped property, in a quiet area in March. We enjoyed our stay there and would return. We appreciated little touches like bathrobes, good quality hand soap in the bathroom and tea, coffee and milk available on our arrival. The only improvements I might suggest would to provide a small selection of books for bad weather days, and a small bedside table in the main bedroom, though we had a lovely holiday without them.
Joanne
The lodge is absolutely gorgeous with everything you need and more. Great location for Whitby and surrounding areas and very private. It was lovely to meet Elvis and Mable and the resident peacocks who all came over to say hello and put on a show! We really enjoyed our stay and it was great to relax in the hot tub after a busy day. Would definitely recommend and already looking forward to coming back.
Absolutely loved the stag lodge retreat. Facilities were great and close to whitby
Joanne
Had the best time at Stag Lodge, everything you need is there, couldn't get the fire to work first night, messaged the owners, someone came within 15 minutes and sorted it. Had zero complaints about the place, well stocked with pots n pans. Was nice and warm all the time and the hot tub in its own little private garden was wonderful after all that walking. Could possibly do with a few hooks near the hot tub xx
Lovely to be back for a two night stay at Stag Lodge, after spending our wedding night here back in 2018. Me, my husband and our girls 4 and 6 had the best time. They particularly loved the hot tub and the owners horses, Elvis and Lady. Absolutely no complaints, will definitely be back.
We had the most amazing time in the lodge. It was spotless clean. Very cozy and warm. Didnt want to leave. The attention to detail the owners had done was outstanding,WiFi and Amazon prime was such a bonus too. We cooked a full Xmas roast dinner the kitchen was fully equipped and also had a dishwasher! The views and the wildlife was great, only very short walk to the stables pub, where the food was fabulous. I would truly recommend staying here, we will definitely be coming back.

Just returned home from a 3 night stay at Stag Lodge Retreat, what a cosy, warm, inviting lodge it was, the hot tub area is fantastic with no one looking in on you, very private, the lodge itself was warm and comfortable with everything you need, if you're taking a dog then the garden area is enclosed so ideal, we had dinner in the pub The Stables just a minute walk from the lodge along the track, it was lovely, only a short drive into Whitby or a good walk if you feel up to it, Would definitely return,
Had a wonderful relaxing stay extremely clean lodge bedding crisp white and bed so cosy kitchen utensils all you could ask for has a large fridge . Hot tub so relaxing and private big drive for parking over all 10 out of 10 for me .
Wr stayed in stag Lodge for our anniversary and it was beautiful. It was right next to the park and ride so ideal if you want to nip into whitby for a few drinks. The loage was so cosy and clean and we will definitely be booking up again. I can not fault anything about our stay. We had booked up to take our little yorkie but she was unwell so we had to leave her at home but she would have absolutely loved it there. Thank you for a lovely break away. We will be back sometime soon.
Louise
Beautiful lodge in a very quiet location. Not overloaded with other lodges . Restaraunt 2mins walk. Park and ride across the road perfect to go to Whitby .
Joanna
Fabulous lodge, beautiful location. We had a fabulous time and wouldnt hesitate to return. Five star
Rachael
Beautiful lodge, everything little details that had gone into the lodge was Beautifully done. We loved going out into the garden and meeting the horses in the next field. The enclosed hot tub garden was great, so our dog was extra secure while we was in the tub. We will definitely recommend and be back. Thank you for a lovely week
Fantastic stay with our 2 kids and dog. The Lodge itself is so inviting, cosy, clean and yet still very practical which is what we need for our young family. Loved the hot tub area which was a lot of fun and the horses were just beautiful. The setting is perfect, quiet but not isolated with an easy 10 minute bus ride to the centre on the park and ride, or a 15 minute car journey to Robin Hood Bay. The owners are really responsive which is fantastic for any questions you may have. We had such a lovely time and will definately be back our littlest is already asking to go back to the wood house!
Jackie
Fantastic stay in the lodge with family and in a great location. Thank you for an amazing stay
We stayed for 4 nights and had a great stay. Its child friendly and our boys loved taking carrots to the horses. Its clean and comfortable. The hot tub is a great addition and well covered for privacy and poor weather. The site is very new and still having building work done which wasnt too disruptive but there were diggers rubbing about at times. I would definitely recommend it!
Dionne
Lovely decorated lodge, very comfortable stay. Nice welcome bottle of prosecco in fridge chilling nicely. The hot tub area is fab and private. The stables restaurant very close by well worth a visit for the views alone. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for relaxation
Lyndsey
Just returned home from a lovely little mini break in Whitby. Highly recommend Stag lodge. A very cute and cozy log cabin. It was an upgraded version of Calamity Jane's cabin. All the mod cons you need and a bottle of prosecco waiting for us on arrival. Its set in a rural location 15 minute's from Whitby centre. Fantastic park and ride into Whitby literally across the road so no messing around looking for parking in busy Whitby. Hot Tub was definitely a high light set in enclosed patio area with seating. Would definitely stay there again.
Jocelyn
We had the best stay at Stag Lodge, from a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us to Caroline answering any questions promptly. The lodge was beautifully decorated, warm and cosy! We loved the luxury of a hot tub, with a secluded area making it private as well as the use of the door to stop our dog from going too far out of sight! Our only feedback was that some chicken wire be added to the fences so smaller dogs cant escape. Our dog didnt attempt this which was good, but to fully relax, it would be an easy solution which Caroline has already messaged to say she is going to do. We will definitely be rebooking here. The location was brilliant and the fact our lodge wasnt surrounded by others made it so peaceful just what we needed! Thank you for letting us stay!
