White Lodge Cottage Reviews

A lovely stay in a beautiful cottage. Well equipped with lots of extra touches. Clean and homely. Amazing owl box viewing and land to explore. Very friendly host who are on hand if you need them but leave you to enjoy your holiday if thats what you prefer. We hope to return soon.
Beautiful cottage in a stunning part of the countryside. Mark and Jane were so approachable and have made a wonderfully comfortable holiday home out of the lodge, it had everything we needed and more. Would highly recommend staying here, it has great links to the coast as well as good walking in the local area. We were very happy staying here and our children thoroughly enjoyed it.
Virginia
We had a wonderful stay at White Lodge Farm Cottage, genuinely a home away from home, ample space to enjoy the cottage, wood burning fire, a very comfortable bed, the shower was great and the bath was huge. We also enjoyed the seating area outside and the fantastic hot tub, a wonderful week away staying in an awesome property. We also enjoyed the dark skies and the star views spectacular. Ideally located to the seaside towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay.
Kieran
