Hornblower Lodge

What a beautiful location.

Owners were very friendly and welcoming. The gift hamper was a lovely touch. Unfortunately, there was no hot water in the kitchen and we were unable to have a bath, the shower was great though. We did have to step into the bath to have a shower, which was a bit of a struggle. The owner pointed out the problem with the hot water to us on our arrival. Although, this was a little inconvenient, it did not distract from the whole experience of our stay. We thought it would have been nice to have a TV in the bedroom as it was difficult to view the one that was in the main seating area. This was due to the positioning of the settee, that was too heavy for us to move. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would recommend this property as a being a little gem of a place, located in a perfect area of natural beauty.

It is an extraordinary setting in which to immerse oneself in the views of the sea and, for us it offered the tranquility we hoped.

Our hosts were welcoming and helpful but some aspects of the property appeared in need of upgrading. Little things like having a dustpan and brush would have been useful. We did struggle to get hot water but that did not detract from enjoying our stay there.

We had a fantastic time in Hornblower Lodge.

Amazing sea views from the kitchen. Outside garden space was lovely and our dog enjoyed it. Watching seabirds, dolphins and chatting with walkers made for a relaxing time. Our hosts were lovely and had gone the extra mile with the facilities and treats. I would definitely recommend this place as a hidden gem. Well off the beaten track to be quiet, but close enough to Whitby and other amenities.

Brilliant position .

Luckily the owner (next door) was at home to give us the key safe number. Without it we could not have accessed the property after a three hour journey. Despite several messages, emails and phone calls which were not answered requesting the key details we had to travel not knowing if we could actually get into the property. Certainly not happy !!!

Hornblower Lodge is a great getaway, and the location is stunning…watching the sunrise over the sea, seeing the full moon rise in a clear night sky full of stars!

Maddy and Jason are great hosts, always ready to help with any questions or problems. We really enjoyed our week and look forward to coming back.

Fabulous location, wonderful sea views.

House needs some TLC and disappointed not to be able to have a hot bath after a long day because water didnt get hot even with Imm. Heater. No control over central heating which came on at odd times. Wonderful area for a break with lots to see.

Lovely accommodation as small part of the whole property.

Completely off the beaten track and so peaceful. Lots of sea birds to keep you company. Lovely views stretching across the sea and taking in the old lighthouse. Very clean and comfortable and wanted for nothing. Apart from maybe a good sized coffee mug! A stones throw from Whitby abbey and the brewery. Access to the Cleveland way from the property. Friendly and helpful owner - even gave us the heads up on the northern lights one night. Already booked again.

Our stay at hornblower Lodge was absolutely lovely,, well equipped and a lovely welcome pack, nice and clean,, excellent for us a retired couple, would definitely recommend.

An amazing property, which is ideal for escaping from busy day to day life; a really quiet location with amazing views and direct walks to Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay.

Excellent facilities, a really comfy bed (a must after a day's walking). The owners live next door, so if you have any assistance, they are happy to help (very friendly). A nice hamper was waiting for us too. Fab, Ideal and we will definitely return.
