Willow Lodge is a modern single-storey lodge sitting on the peaceful outskirts of Whitby, North Yorkshire. Perfect for exploring both the stunning coastline and North York Moors National Park without the town centre bustle. This sleek, contemporary hideaway offers everything you need for a proper Yorkshire escape - minus the crowds.

The views here are fantastic. Rolling countryside stretches out before you while you're just a stone's throw from Yorkshire's dramatic coastline. Park and ride into Whitby is literally on your doorstep - we parked up on Monday and didn't touch the car again till Friday! Brilliant for anyone who wants to ditch driving and enjoy a proper pint or three.

Brilliant for anyone who wants to ditch driving and enjoy a proper pint or three. Speaking of which, The Stables pub is practically in the garden.

The accommodation includes a king-size bedroom with its own en-suite walk-in shower, plus a twin room and separate shower room. The open-plan living space features a fully-equipped kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher. Everything's spotlessly clean with quality furniture and proper comfy beds - not those awful saggy things you sometimes get in holiday lets.

Whitby's famous abbey is just 10 minutes away (1.7 miles), perfect for vampire enthusiasts and history lovers alike. Explore the North York Moors National Park (5 minutes), wander Sandsend Beach (15 minutes), or visit Robin Hood's Bay (20 minutes) for classic Yorkshire seaside charm.

The private hot tub on your enclosed decking is the real winner though. Nothing beats sinking into those bubbles after a day exploring, even in the rain! Willow Lodge is ideal for small families, couples or friends who want quality time without stepping on each other's toes.

Willow Lodge Reviews

Lovely stay in a nice location, the park and ride is within walking distance so very useful if you dont want to drive and try and park in Whitby.
Lovely lodges, well spaced for privacy. Great to have the hot tub. Everything very comfortable. My only little niggle is that one towel plus a hand towel each is not sufficient for a full week stay. Would advise anyone coming here to bring extras, especially if they intend to use the hot tub. Handy for the park and ride to Whitby although we didnt use this ourselves. Had a couple of meals at The Stables hotel pub shortcut path to this very nice with big beer garden.
Wendy Lynn
An amazing place, peace, quiet and tranquility. The whole place was fantastic, the only thing that was missing was an umbrella for shelter as it was too hot to sit outside and also use the fantastic hot tub. Would and have recommended this fabulous place to friends and family. Just another thing as we are both elderly we found the shower was rather a challenge as the floor of the shower was very slippery. Fantastic place overall. Well done to all for a truly great place. We had a visitation from the peacocks as well.
Willow Lodge is a fantastic place to stay. Very clean, comfortable, modern, everything you need is provided. Vert quiet, peaceful and relaxing with fantastic views. Ideal location if you need sometime out to relax and chill. Easy access to Whitby by foot or car. Highly recommend to friends and family, definitely book again next year for a longer stay.
Amazing place, peaceful and quiet and excellent base for surrounding areas. Definitely come back
Very relaxing and enjoyable stay in Willow Lodge in this beautiful location. It's the first holiday I've had with my son 14 since my wife passed away 7 years ago, and this short break did us both the world of good exploring Whitby and just enjoying the hot tub together. We will most definitely be back for a longer stay next time as we both enjoyed it so much! Only 2 minor things to point out was the dog hair on the carpet still and lots of ash blowing over from a fire nearby which was on the decking and table outside, and my car.

The lodge is lovely in a great location and is relatively new. However it lacks a few basic things for a self catering lodge. Oven gloves burnt my hand taking the tray out of the oven with a tea towel a bread knife and a bigger kitchen bin. The decking is deadly in freezing temperatures with ice forming in the grooves, and no tv in the bedroom a bigger choice of channels would be good too also hot tub is a bit shallow. In our opinion this would move the lodge to the next level.
Harkireet
A lovely property in a beautiful location made our stay with our dog memorable. The property is modern, clean and cosy with good quality furniture, furnishings and bedding. All information prior to our stay was accurate and useful. The only minor recommendations are about providing oven gloves, oven safe dishes for cooking and scissors. We would thoroughly recommend staying here and we look forward to returning in the future!
Lovely lodge with the bonus of a great hot tub. Everything was very clean with everything provided that you could need. Great location so near to the park and ride into Whitby. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again.
The lodge was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. ..we loved using the hot tub on a daily basis...the only gripe we had was there wasn't a hoover so that we could keep the carpet clean during our stay and we would have liked some Pyrex dishes as we do like to cook our own meals in the evening...overall we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking again in the near future.
Gillian
Ideal location, away from the busy town of Whitby but with the park and ride on your doorstep which takes you into town in less than 10 minutes. Parked up the car on Monday and never used again until Friday when leaving. Bus service very good. Local restaurant and bar next to lodge park. Accommodation excellent and the hot tub is a real bonus. Local maintenance team on site very friendly and helpful.
Natalie
Weve had a lovely 2 night break in Willow lodge. The lodge itself has everything you could need and is immaculately clean. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure and temperature in the showers was great. Fresh towels and crisp bedding provided. The location is fantastic, a couple of miles from the centre of Whitby and a short walk to a great pub. There is a park and ride and petrol station close by. We really enjoyed the hot tub, which again was immaculately clean and set to a great temperature for arrival. A clothes horse or retracing line to hang wet towels would be useful, also additional hot tub towels. We brought our own so not an issue for us. Not a negative, just some feedback which may help the owners keep the lodge in its best condition. We will definitely returnthis place is a real gem!!
We found the lodge in a great location in the shadow of the beautiful Stables pub and restaurant and in walking distance of the Whitby park and ride bus. The views was amazing. We was fortunate to be the first guests to stay in our lodge which was a fantastic privilege. The only disappointment was the rainy weather however this didn't stop us from enjoying the hot tub. These lodges are a great base for exploring Whitby and the surrounding areas or you could just do as we did, which was to chill, relax in the hot tub, log in to Netflix and Prime to watch films whilst enjoying a nice glass of wine getting lost in the views. Wishing Caroline and the team at Stag Lodges all the best for the future.
