“We stayed at Lavender Lodge and arrived to find a welcome basket with an assortment of tea, biscuits and cherry wine.”
The facilities were first rate and included a freezer, washer/dryer, vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, tea towels, cleaning products and even an iron and ironing board. All the rooms were a good size and the cleanliness was excellent as was the level of maintenance, the decorating was to a high standard as was the choice of furnishings. The outdoor space was big enough to stretch out on and it was fully enclosed which was great for keeping the dog from wandering off, although he spent a good deal of time sitting stock still and eyeing up the peacocks that strutted around the grounds.
With regards to the location, you are surrounded by trees with the gothic spires of the Rushpool Hotel visible through the foliage. There is a lovely wooded walk which makes for a pleasant first thing and last thing dog walk. Just down the road from the main entrance (turn right and it's just before the island) there is a public footpath that will take you down to Skelton Beck and from there you have a massive choice of paths to take you into Saltburn-by-the-Sea and/or its gardens. In the coffee table drawer you'll find a good variety of pamphlets showing you what activities, attractions etc. are available to you locally or a bit further afield.
As far as any cons to this holiday lodge are concerned... the Rushpool Hotel specialises in hosting weddings/receptions and so you can expect some noise from parties, but it was never excessive and it never went on too late. And that's it really apart from wanting to cook something in the oven and being Aga users we were a bit stumped until we had a look through the Grey Folder of Knowledge and found instructions.
We would highly recommend a stay here if you are looking for a well presented, clean and fresh lodge in quiet, wooded surroundings with plenty of things to do in the surrounding area.
