“We felt that the lodge was a little un loved and tired.”

Hot tub was murky and sauna was in need of some maintenance. Tv in second bedroom was unable to use as no signal or Internet connection. We even bought a new cable for this to no avail. Oven needs repair as door seal failed. No dryer in lodge as stated in listing. Parking was an issue as we were not allowed to park anywhere near lodge. Farmer quite rude about the parking situation.

“Well all I can say is this is a lovely lodge and the people who run it seem really nice.”

Main issue is parking and on going dispute between owner and her ex. Ripped the side of my car trying to negotiate the parking past new fences the ex had put up round "his"land. Then ended up with a flat tyre due to a screw which looked the same as the one used for the fences.£140 just for the tyre. We were told not to park at the bottom of the narrow road as that was ex's land but didn't have a choice as parking was so tight. As expected got told off the "ex" to move the car. Other wise we loved the lodge, lovely beds/bedding and towels to die for. Very well equipped and the hot tub although dated was fab. Hope things get sorted out for all concerned soon.

“We enjoyed our stay at St Hildas Lodge which was nicely decorated for Christmas.”

It is a lovely place, there were a few light bulbs not working and the parking is a little tight for big cars but these are minor things. We got back home and decided to book it again as we enjoyed it so much. Thank you

“It is absolutely lovely.”

“First class accommodation, St Hilda's Lodge is well maintained and we have no hesitation in recommending the lodge as a great place to stay.”

Linda and Anne were so helpful, making sure that we had everything we needed and kept in touch during our stay. The hot tub and sauna are a real bonus especially after walking for miles! The Badger Hounds serves excellent food, run by Stephen & Andy. They are really welcoming friendly hosts and already we are looking forward to our next visit. The week has just flown by and hopefully we will be back soon. Definitely a wonderful experience with a well deserved 5 *****. Dee & John.

“We had a brilliant time in this lodge,very clean and hot tub a bonus after walking all day,location close to all the places we wanted to visit,I wouldn't recommend the fish and chips shop in Hinderwell as were awful, parking was difficult at lodge so we just parked down the lane and walked,we have a large car,would definitely reccomend.”

“Fantastic lodge !”

Well stocked with everything you need . The people in the caravans nearby were lovely and friendly . Could have done with a little book explaining some basic things all in one place , like the radiators , lights etc ,but Anne was always available to advise and honestly went above and beyond. So nice to be able to sit out the front or the back .The hot tub is nice and private. One side of the lodge is really dark because of the fencing and trees, so would be great of it was cut down a bit to let light in one of the bedrooms and bathrooms ? Will def return !! Thank you so much .

“What a lovely place St Hildas cottage is.”

Plenty of room. Modern clean and everything you need is in there. Hot tub and sauna were great after a days walking. Cottage situated in great place for walking. No hesitation in returning Thankyou so very much.

“The car parking is really poor.”

I only have an Audi A3 and trying to back in up a drive was irritating but getting round the corner at the top, too difficult. I've seen something that says parking for 2 cars..... Also gate through to main road was often locked which meant one night had to drive to the pub or be late. Another night had to walk round

“Lovely lodge.”

Beautiful area. Walking distance from lovely pubs and local store. Great hot tub. Clean, tidy with great kitchen and bathrooms. Good sized rooms. Nice decor. Slightly cramped parking outside with caravans around you, but this does not take anything away from the holiday. Good value for money. Owners were great. They kept in touch throughout our stay. Would recommend.

“Please ignore the negative and picky reviews about this lodge, it seems some people cannot be pleased.”

We walked into the lodge and said ‘WOW’ because to us it just felt like home. Extremely clean, plenty of towels and the beds were super comfy I had the best night sleep I’ve had in a while. It was so warm and cosy. Linda has thought of everything, the kitchen has anything you might need. With Netflix and now tv you can watch films, the Internet was fab. The hot tub and sauna were the icing on the cake for us, we even sat in the hot tub in the rain we didn’t care. You won’t want to leave, and we definitely will be returning. Thanks again Linda you have created a lovely home from home xx

“The lodge was very comfortably furnished,well laid out and plenty of kit in the kitchen,although could not find a chopping board.”

The bathrooms though were very cold,no heating,no where for towels to dry....brrrrrrrrr!. It was very unfortunate that the weather was against us the second half of the week,over all a lovely lodge,good welcome and contact with Linda.

- Hilda, September 2020
Julie September 2020

“There were four adults and our spaniel staying at the lodge.”

We all had a great holiday. The lodge was comfortable and clean with everything you could need. The only thing that would make it better for four adults would be to have a proper shower over the bath in the main bathroom, we all had to share the on suite shower. The area was lovely with a few walks straight from the front door, and not far too travel to other attractions.

“We plan to return”

Catherine August 2020

“Really disappointed that the hot tub did not function correctly.”

Got told owner would only charge £100 per night if booked direct. Made some complaints to which you were unable to resolve and was told it was he said she said now and it was up to us to go to owner if not happy. Very disappointed in the service and would not recommend Skyes cottages and would not use again to book another break away.

- Catherine, August 2020
Penny July 2020

“We had a week in the lodge in July 2020 which we thoroughly enjoyed.”

The only downside was the internet wasn’t working which was very frustrating for my son. Linda was most apologetic and was trying her upmost to get things fixed. Otherwise a lovely break

Dawn September 2019

“The lodge is extremely well placed to explore a beautiful part of coastline and the north york moors, however the small holding is a little run down.”

The lodge is comfortable and well equipped. This said, the listing boasts a hot tub, we had to pay a surcharge for it’s use (not very clear on the listing) and were unable to enjoy it 1 of our 2 evenings, as it was still heating up and if we had not taken a gazebo with us it would have unusable in the rain. Not sure it was value for money.

Linda was in touch with us for if we needed any help or advice. Near to many clean beaches and lovely countryside. Nice gastro pub in village. A very comfortable lodge and beds amazing. Great fresh eggs from the farm . Our granddaughter loved the farm animals and birds. The hot tub and sauna was icing on the cake

“In a few word s you cant improve perfection .”

.the lodge was everything we wanted Linda the landlady was very welcoming wish we didn't have to leave absolutely superb

“A lovely cabin with lots of extra and home from home comforts.”

Very clean and the shower was lovely. Comfy beds and the decor was very tasteful. Only point on this is that would have preferred a welcome information folder with details of the internet password ( which did not work) and amenities out and about. Who to contact locally in case of emergencies etc... It would be good to know where to leave the key when leaving at the end of the week as was not sure of the procedure and where to leave it. We left very early due to a long drive home so did not know who to contact so early or where to leave the key. My son liked collecting the eggs but was only able to sample once in the week as the locals seem to have taken them very early. They are lovely and was a nice addition to breakfast. With regard to the booking however I felt when searching for a cottage specific with hot tub through Sykes I did not expect to have to pay extra for this upon arrival. The marketing on this cottage can be misleading so check the small print! It would be better to include in the overall price as the site can be very deceiving and an extra £70 does tap into spending money especially when you are a family and on a budget.

Bill October 2018

“St Hildas Lodge was an excellent choice for our dog friendly holiday.”

It was spacious, clean and everything needed for a very satisfying stay was provided. Linda, the owner, was very welcoming and was always at the end of a telephone if any help was needed, which it was not as everything went smoothly. Hinderwell itself had 2 dog friendly pubs (within 5 minutes walk from the Lodge) and both served a good selection of drinks and very good food. I would highly recommend this Lodge for a holiday and will definately return for another relaxing stay.

Sharon March 2018

“It's the second time we have been and again thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”

The lodge is ideally placed for all the sights. The new sauna was a nice extra to the hottub. Linda made us feel very welcome, we loved the little extras, fresh eggs in the morning, fluffy dressing gowns and wine and candles when we arrived. We most definitely will be going back.
