Barbara “A beautiful holiday home in a beautiful part of England.”
The lodge was perfect for all of us Mum, Dad, three girls, Grandma, Grandad and Lilly (the dog) comfy beds, fluffy towels, well appointed kitchen, a sociable lounge with seating for all .... Lovely to relax in the sunshine on the wrap-around decking. Thanks to Terry and Louise who are helpful and friendly leaving a welcome hamper full of treats for us and the dog, also Louise’s home made tart dropped off midweek. Runswick Bay is perfect for those who enjoy a traditional beach holiday; the girls loved playing in the waves, beach combing and searching for fossils. Highly recommended.
- Barbara, April 2025We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Lobster Lodge ....thank you for such a positive review and it was lovely meeting you all Terry and Louise Property Owner
Darrell, Nicola and Eddie Smith “Thanks Louise for our lovely stay at Lobster.”
It has the most comfortable bedding, the fluffiest towels and you make the best fresh fruit tart which was much appreciated and enjoyed. We will return - thanks again.
- Darrell, Nicola and Eddie Smith, Sep 2024Tim, Dee and Bertie (the Bedlington) “We've had a great week at the Lobster Lodge.”
Spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. The welcome hamper and fruit tart were lovely touches and the lobster platter was delicious! Many thanks.

Sue, Mick, Michael, Laura, Gabi and Luna. “We have enjoyed a lovely relaxing holiday at the lodge.”
Visited many places with lovely beaches. Thank you for the welcome hamper and the delicious tart you made for us. Children have really enjoyed the holiday and adults have enjoyed relaxing on the lovely veranda. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Thank you Terry and Louise it was really lovely.
- Sue, Mick, Michael, Laura, Gabi and Luna., Aug 2024The Allison and Taylor Family “What a fantastic lodge - we've had a lovely week visiting the lovely coastal villages in the area.”
Staithes being our favourite. The welcome hamper and the midweek flan were a real treat too! Thank you for an amazing holiday.
- The Allison and Taylor Family, Aug 2024The Jubb and Bray family “A lovely week spent here, touring the North Yorkshire coast, visiting places we haven't been to for a few years.”
A great comfy base, enjoy every minute. Thank you for the hamper and we enjoyed the midweek flan.
- The Jubb and Bray family, Aug 2024Jenny, Josie and Richard “Lovely stay at Lobster Lodge, very clean and comfortable.”
Everything perfect except for the weather but did enjoy one day on the decking. Welcome pack and midweek pie much appreciated. Thank you for a great holiday.
- Jenny, Josie and Richard, Jul 2024The Lambert and Chewtyn Family “A lovely week, starting with a warm welcome and a mid week treat.”
We really appreciate them. Would highly recommend. Thank you.
- The Lambert and Chewtyn Family, Jul 2024Helen “We have just returned from a wonderful week at Lobster Lodge.”
This was by far the cleanest and best maintained holiday rental we have stayed in (and we have stayed in a fair few across the country). There was a lovely hamper and card from Louise and Terry in the lodge when we arrived, and halfway through the week they dropped off a homemade fruit tart which was absolutely delicious! The lodge itself has everything you need for a really comfortable stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book and stay here again, it was fantastic.
- Helen, June 2024Thank you so much Helen for such a positive review. We're so pleased you enjoyed your holiday in Lobster Lodge and look forward to maybe welcoming you back in the future... Best wishes Louise & Terry Property Owner
Gary “We holiday almost exclusively in the UK (mostly in South Pembrokeshire) with our aging Boxer dog Niah.”
This is only the second time we have booked through Sykes Cottages and our first stay in a lodge. Our first experience of Sykes Cottages was less than positive but that was the fault of the properties owners / hosts. The rating for Sykes Cottages above is based on a combination that previous experience and our latest booking at Lobster Lodge. Our stay at Lobster Lodge could not have been more of a contrast to that first booking through Sykes. The lodge is a credit to the owners and worthy of the five star rating we have given. It sits in a small gated community with 12 similar properties. It is immaculately presented, spacious and comfortable with more than a hint of luxury about it. Our host was incredibly attentive to our needs and generous with her time. The welcome pack was thoughtfully put together and included treats for both us humans and our fury friend. Midweek, we were even gifted a truly delicious home made fruit flan and, she will even supply locally caught, dressed lobster at a very reasonable cost. As a couple we wanted for nothing in terms of accommodation and hospitality. However, there are a couple of aspects of the Lodge to be aware of if visiting with a dog. The raised deck around the property is a superb, well maintained, outside space for humans, with comfortable furniture. However, if the sun shines, the decking itself becomes very hot. This could be an issue for a dog. We have a raised travel bed which works well. Also the small amount of green space belonging to the lodge, is insecure, so if visiting with a fury companion their needs have to be more closely managed than perhaps would otherwise be the case. Other things worthy of mention. In terms of provisioning, consider having a delivery upon arrival. We chose Tesco but we also saw an Asda van on site. The nearest convenience store is a Co Op on the outskirts of Staithes, a 5 - 10 minute drive. Once in Staithes though a visit to the Whitby Crab Company at Unit 2, Whitegates Close, Staithes, TS13 5BB, is an added bonus. Fresh dressed crab, up with the best we have had. Beyond that the nearest supermarkets are on the outskirts of Skelton on the A174, a drive of around half an hour. Lastly, we are in our mid 60s and like to walk, but for various health related reasons are no longer able to hike / trek. The two routes from Runswick down to the Bay are short but very steep. Much steeper than we anticipated, we found them both prohibitive. One local told me the gradient was 1 in 3 and I believe it, Google Earth does not do them justice! Alternatively, the walk from the Lodge to the Cleveland way is a leisurely 10 minute stroll and if you turn NW towards Stathes it is reasonably gentle with stunning vistas until Port Mulgrave. At that point the less able might turn back as we did. For a beach walk, Sandsend to Whitby at half tide is well worth the effort, about 6 miles there and back. Overall, we highly recommend Lobster Lodge if you want a comfortable, relaxing, base to explore the North Yorks coast, whilst being looked after by a warm, friendly, host, who genuinely wants you to have the best experience. We enjoyed our stay very much.
- Gary, June 2024Thank you so much for such a positive review ...it was lovely to meet you both & the beautiful Niah. We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay in Lobster Lodge and hopefully we can welcome you back in the future. Kind regards Louise & Terry Property Owner
Lesley “Lobster Lodge was lovely and the gated grounds of which there were 12 lodges was immaculate.”
It was clean, well furnished and equipped with everything you would need. On arrival there was a very generous welcome hamper, which was a nice surprise

Jeremy, Paula, Robert and Janet and Yogi “A lovely easy week and a very handy location to be able to reach many places.”
A very comfortable lodge and very homely, and if you made the tart Louise, you should be on Bake Off!! Thank you.
- Jeremy, Paula, Robert and Janet and Yogi, Oct 2023Victoria and Nigel Ball “A wonderful well equipped and comfortable lodge, had everything we needed.”
A lovely quiet spot and beautiful views over the hills. Well placed for walks to Staithes and Sandsend, returning via excellent bus service ( which also took us to Whitby and Saltburn) Would recommend Whitby Museum, something for everyone; St Mary's Church; also fish and chips near Saltburn Pier. Not forgetting Fortune's kippers. Thank you Terry and Louise for being such great hosts.
- Victoria and Nigel Ball, Oct 2023Penny , Gareth, Etienne and Carol “Thank you for such a lovely, warm and welcoming stay, the lodge is delightful with everything we needed and more!”
The hamper and the flan were a fabulous surprise and enjoyed by all.
- Penny , Gareth, Etienne and Carol, Oct 2023The Guy Families “A great almost halfway house for both our families to meet.”
The cottage was great base for exploring - North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Saltburn, Whitby, Scarborough, Hole of Horcum... The Ellerby Inn was brilliant, definitely worth a trip out. Lobster Lodge was brilliant for all of our family and because the weather was kind, we managed to use the decking for meals especially as it had sunshine all day long!!! A fantastic stay, thank you we loved it.
- The Guy Families, Sep 2023Martin “Lobster Lodge is truly lovely.”
It is well equipped, good quality furnishings, has more than enough storage and most importantly, comfy beds! The welcome basket, including treats for our dog, was a lovely touch and the mid-week fruit tart was delicious! This was our first visit to Runswick Bay and hopefully it won't be our last. Lobster Lodge at The Pines (which is an extremely quiet site) is the perfect base for exploring the East Coast between Saltburn and Robin Hoods Bay, each only being a short drive away. When we return, I would happily rebook to stay at Lobster Lodge; if I was to list any negatives, I would really be nit-picking! Thanks for providing such lovely accommodation.
- Martin, August 2023Thank you so much for such a positive review. We're really pleased you enjoyed your holiday & stay in Lobster Lodge. Property Owner
The Kyte/ Gorton Family “Amazing Lodge!”
We have made amazing memories. Lovely welcome hamper and a surprise flan midweek. Such thoughtful hosts. Thank you we will definitely be back soon.
- The Kyte/ Gorton Family, Aug 2023Samantha “Beautiful lodge in a very lovely part of the world.”
The lodge was incredibly well equipped, and maintained to a very high standard. The wrap around decking is fabulous, and on a sunny day there is ample space to relax with the family. The kitchen is well resourced, with plenty of good quality pots, pans and utensils. Lots of love for the fantastic American style fridge-freezer, and super fast toaster! :) Special mention has to go to the bunk bedroom - a massive hit with our 10 year old. Such a wonderful space :) The water pressure is superb so the showers are hot and powerful. Plenty of parking, with enough space to house two cars comfortably. The lodge is dog friendly, and our black lab loved it. And, unlike alot of dog friendly places, the standard of cleanliness and quality of the furnishings has not been compromised; it's very clean, and well maintained. Terry and Louise clearly look after their property and are close by if you need anything, including the delivery of a very delicious mid week treat! :) We had a lovely week at Lobster Lodge, even though it rained. Alot. We'll definately be back soon :)
- Samantha, July 2023Thank you so much Samantha for such a positive review ....we really appreciate it and we're pleased you all enjoyed your holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

The Booker Family “Very comfortable accommodation, thank you Terry and Louise.”

Frank and Christine. “We've had the perfect week.”
The sun has shone all week and Lobster Lodge is beautiful. Absolutely everything we could need or want in the lodge and in such a pretty part of the country. Thank you Terry and Louise for being so welcoming. Would definitely return and recommend. Thanks again.
- Frank and Christine., May 2023Mabel “We had a fantastic week at Lobster Lodge over Easter.”
We have stayed at The Pines before in a different lodge so we knew what to expect and Lobster Lodge was perfect for our needs. The children loved the bunk bedroom and I found the beds really comfy and the lodge was always lovely and warm despite the cold and rain outside! Huge sofa in the lounge so plenty of space and the kids loved the games and jigsaws that were in the lodge. It would have been nice to have things like tea, coffee, sugar, cling film and tin foil provided. We did get a lovely hamper when we arrived but this would have been a useful touch. The hoover in the property didn't work which isn't ideal when we had a dog with us and we also found a false nail in the bathroom and some dried contact lenses on the floor in the bedroom so I would have liked to run the hoover round myself! There were tupperware lids but no boxes which would have been useful for when we took a picnic out with us but again we made do. The kitchen units were a bit clunky to open but we got the hang of it. The door tread in the bathroom was loose and the shelf in the childrens room wasn't secure and fell off whilst we were there! Overall just a few minor touches which could easily be fixed and wouldn't put us off a return visit. We would love to come back to the lodge again!
- Mabel, April 2023Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you had a lovely stay and Easter family break. Thank you for bringing the above points to our attention. As you know this is self catering accommodation, we did provide an Easter themed Hamper and we also have a coffee machine and coffee pods left for you. We will look into getting some more Tupperware’s for the lodge. The hoover was working however it just needed charging, but we apologise if the cleaner missed something. We have now fixed the shelf and door tread- thank you for bringing this to our attention- If you had contacted YCC during your stay they would have arranged for these to have been sorted at the time. Thank you for your feedback, we have taken it all on board and we hope to welcome you again soon. Property Owner
The Hartley Family “A wonderful stay at Lobster Lodge.”
Shame about the weather but managed a few nice days of sunshine. Wonderful hosts and very helpful. Runswick is beautiful as always. Thank you.
- The Hartley Family, Apr 2023Karen, Trevor and Ruby “A fantastic week at Lobster Lodge.”
Was so comfortable and met our needs with a lovely hamper left by Terry and Louise. Visited lots of places and enjoyed them all. Beaches are lovely and Ruby enjoyed all the walks to the beach. Had a fantastic meal at the Badger - Sunday lunch - worth the trip. Thank you again Terry and Loyuise.
- Karen, Trevor and Ruby, Nov 2022Carole and Steve and our Westipoo Shelby. “Wonderful Lodge, comfy, warm, quiet, could live here!”
Whitby is lovely as is Runswick Beach. Thank you for all the extra touches and the welcome hamper and the midweek fruit tarts! Very delicious! Sad to leave but feel very rested and hope to return. Thank you.
- Carole and Steve and our Westipoo Shelby., Oct 2022Anna, Russ and Win Burton “Had a wonderful week in the beautiful Lobster Lodge.”

Claire “Fantastic property and stay!”
The owner goes above and beyond the call of duty and is a pleasure to deal with. We were a group of 5 (mix of 70-80 years old and a couple of young uns in their 40s!) Beds were comfortable. Location is lovely. Short stroll to the beach (although it's extremely steep!), to part of the Cleveland Way and nearby pubs. Also a great "base" for jumping in the car and exploring further afield. Thoroughly recommend!
- Claire, June 2022Thanks so much Claire for your positive feedback..... We're so pleased you all enjoyed your week in Lobster Lodge! Property Owner
“This is the 2nd year we have stayed in one of the lodges, Seagull first and now Lobster.”
The owners could not do enough for you. Wonderful midweek break. Thank you to the owner for the Lobster!
- , Jun 2022Jacqui “Absolutely lovely place to stay.”
Runswick Bay itself is very quiet but ideally located to explore North Yorkshire. We had a food shop delivered by both Tesco and Sainsburys (both fine). The owner does check in on your arrival to ensure that everything is ok and will recommend things that are of interest to you. The owner does also mow the lawns whilst you are there. The Runswick lodge area is very quiet. Not recommend for people that are looking for lively holiday.
- Jacqui, May 2022Thanks so much for leaving a review.... We're really pleased you enjoyed your stay at Lobster Lodge! Property Owner
Ann “What a fabulous week.”
Louise couldn't have been more welcoming. The lodge is beautiful, well equipped, spotlessly clean and ideally situated. Needless to say there are great places to see & some lovely places to eat, our favourite being Ellerby Inn (only 1 mile away) and Runswick Bay is the most gorgeous un-spoiled little village, with a great pub/hotel (the Royal). Would not hesitate to recommend.
- Ann, May 2022Thank you so much for such a lovely review Anne. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Lobster Lodge. Hopefully me might see you again in the future! Property Owner
Kathryn “Absolute fabulous holiday.”
Everything perfect. Booked the lodge again for June. The lodge is very very well equipped with lovely furniture. Couldn’t find a fault. The owners were so kind and Louise made a gorgeous sweet for us mid week. Good welcome pack too. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful lodge. Highly recommended. Fabulous walks nearby with or without a dog and lots of good pubs and places to visit not far away.
- Kathryn, March 2022Hi Julie... Thank you for such positive feedback. We're really pleased you enjoyed your stay in Lobster Lodge and look forward to seeing you again! Property Owner

- Kay and Kittie and Joe, Sep 2021Pat and Shane Brouchton “Nice central place to visit places such as Redcar,Salburn by the sea, staithes where you can get lovley food at the cod and lobster, highly recommended!”
Then you have Robins Hoods Bay and Whitby etc the other side. Beautiful down to Rundswick Bay. The dogs loved it as much as we did too. Was nice that Terry and Louise checked we had everything then left us to get on with our holiday. One, thing , I would have liked would have been a pint of milk in fridge on arrival.For a cuppa. Scones, jam and cream were delicous. Thank you xx
- Pat and Shane Brouchton, Sep 2021Ella and Dan Gardiner “We had a wonderful stay in Lobster Lodge.”

The lodge itself was spotless had a lovely welcome basket which made us feel quite at home. All the equipment that we needed. We will definitely book again Thanks for a lovely holiday
- Elise, June 2021Angela “The lodge was in the best position on the site, with all round sunshine and plenty of outdoor space.”
It was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The owners, who live locally, were friendly and helpful and provided special touches like a welcome pack and a surprise mid week treat! It is ideal for walkers as it is next to the Cleveland Way and with the beach, Whitby, Sandsend, Staithes and the moors nearby there is plenty to explore. The site is quiet, so a relaxing, time-out holiday is also possible.
- Angela, June 2021David “The lodge is so comfortable and ideally placed to explore the local area.”
The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and made us feel very welcome. The owners, Terry and Louise, were very helpful with any problems we had during the week. We'll definitely return.
- David, May 2021Anne-marie “We had a lovely week at Lobster Lodge.”
The lodge is stylish and very comfortable. Comfy beds and a powerful shower. The decking area is a real sun trap so we enjoyed coming back from a day out, sitting in the sun with a G&T and enjoying the view of the hills. The location is great too, very quiet but easy access to the beach and coastal path. 4 pubs/restaurants within walking distance as well. Would definitely recommend.
- Anne-marie, April 2021Lizzie Schofield “Our stay at lobster lodge was perfect for a family of 4 with 2 very young children and a dog.”
It was really clean, had everything we needed and is perfectly positioned close to the beach, cliffs and pubs of Runswick. It felt like a very luxurious cabin, with a generous welcome basket full of treats. Booked to stay again next year! Thanks, Lizzie
