“Our third stay in Huckleberry and it’s just as nice as the first time in 2021.”

The property is spotless and very comfortable. We had a lovely week with elderly parents. Facilities are very good for our needs and we would definitely book again. A few things of note : Internet wasn’t working but was resolved quickly. No welcome pack this year which was disappointing given it was mentioned by a few recent guests that one was provided. There are very few glasses in the property, other than wine glasses. A few more tumblers would be useful. On the outside of the property suggest cobwebs are swept away and tree at right side of drive could do with trimming back to help access on the drive, especially when a car is parked. These are minor issues - on the whole we had a great stay in a lovely property which is in a fabulous location.

M May 2023

“Lovely lodge, clean, well maintained, in a peaceful area.”

Close to pretty Runswick bay , no fee parking unfortunately ! Not far to drive to Whitby . The only problem we didn't expect was the en suite walk in shower wasn't working , and with mobility issues climbing into a bath for a shower was not easy for us both . Also the free view tv is non existent, fortunately we had our tablet to watch TV. This maybe a problem for some people . We loved the break and would be happy to return if the shower is fixed .

“My second time staying in the lodge, had 4 nights over the New Year, lodge is very modern, tasteful and well equipped.”

Andrea November 2022

“We found the front of one of the freezer drawers broken and the pieces just left there, and there was food and ice still in from the last people.”

We called guest relations to get someone out to remove and clean it and to adjust the heating. It was set to come on at 7am but we get up early so we were cold, and we were cold through the night. We found tissues, underwear, and a book in one of the bedroom drawers, hairs in the bath and struggled to watch anything on the TV due to no signal. A beautiful lodge but some aspects were very disappointing.

- Andrea, November 2022

Thank you for your feedback, your comments have been noted. The heating was adjusted, and the freezer mended and cleaned, immediately you reported them. We addressed all problems reported at the time of your stay. We are sorry about the cleaning issues, had we known about them we would have recalled the housekeeper to address those immediately too.

“The lodge was very clean and comfortable we couldn't fault anything it was in a very quiet place.”

Everything you needed for a weeks holiday was there.

- Carol, October 2022
James September 2022

“The lodge was very spacious and comfortable,only a couple of little things that could be better,one being more mugs,plates etc are needed,there is a large dishwasher but you cannot let the pots mount up because there are not enough, and it’s not efficient to put the dishwasher on with little in it.”

The tv signal is very poor, the ITV channel was non existent while we where there,but hopefully we plan to return next year as we enjoyed our stay very much.

- James, September 2022
Karen August 2022

“Had an amazing 3 night stay.”

The lodge has everything we needed, very comfortable, clean and the outdoor furniture of a very high standard. Will definitely book again.

- Karen, August 2022
Esther August 2022

“The lodge could be nice but lack of care, maintenance and cleaniness let it down.”

Also poor quality fixtures eg shower very low pressure and bed really uncomfortable. We have stayed at another lodge on the site previously which was much higher standard but wasn't available this time unfortunately. Many issues already reported on website reviews and in the guest book haven't been addressed, basic TV channels unavailable, cleanliness (we also found someone else's pants in bedroom drawer, hair and dirt in drawers, toothpaste splattered in bathroom and red mould in bathroom), broken lamp etc. We phoned Sykes to discuss issues and they said that someone would come to fix TV issues but no one ever came. We gave feedback by email to Sykes two weeks ago at end of our holiday about issues and included photos, they said this would be passed to their quality team and the lodge owner but we never got any further response to our feedback. Disappointing, shame as lovely site and excellent location and if they addressed the issues raised by people the lodge could be lovely.

- Esther, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry you found your stay disappointing, we have taken your feedback on board and we will do our upmost to rectified these issue Property Owner

“Super lodge in a fabulous location.”

The lodge was very clean and comfortable for our stay. Spacious rooms and within walking distance of the beach, local hotel for food and the fabulous artisan bakery. We hope to be back sometime soon.

“Super location and superb lodge.”

Really appreciated the welcome pack on arrival.

Cindy June 2022

“This lodge is truly beautiful and equipped with everything you could need, everything is of high quality inside and where it is situated within the resort is very peaceful and quiet.”

It was very clean throughout, the beds were comfy and it was a nice temperature throughout which has been pre set for you, I stayed in June but the weather was the usual for our country, unpredictable! The overall location is great as a base, it’s a nice short walk down to runswick bay but beware it is a very very steep slope down to the bay, you can drive but you’d miss the spectacular views! I walked down in a Monday morning and sadly the beach cafe was closed but the nearby royal hotel wasn’t so I was able to have a coffee there with lovey views to look out over. I have no complaints at all about this lodge, I went alone but it would more than comfortably sleep and accommodate 4, the decking is lovely and the furniture out there is very luxurious, more so than the other lodges I could see, overall I would highly highly recommend it!!

Christine March 2022

“It would of been nice to be informed about the TV Ariel not working when booking as this may influence people's decision to rent especially elderly people who don't know how to use apps etc.”

However other than this the lodge location and standards were excellent.

“A really nice lodge, clean, modern, well equipped and spacious with everything we needed to enjoy our stay.”

Ideal location eating out and for walking and exploring the North Yorkshire coastline.

“The initial impression of the park and this lodge is deceptive.”

The park is very swish and the outside of the lodge likewise. We received a small welcome hamper which was nice. The lodge was nicely decorated and comfy, but was missing the 4 star touches the park and listing suggested it had. The vents blow constant cold air and make It uncomfortable. The previous reviews stated this as well. The kitchen was poorly equipped, rusty sieve for example and very few pieces of decent equipment, very limited selection of utensils, but bizarrely and onion bag! Bedroom blinds don’t cover the entire window leaving light streaming in from next door lodge outdoor light. Small curtains in main lodge hardly meet and are hard to draw leaving you open to the neighbours. Biggest issue was the TV. There were NO channels due to the signal, it stated no aerial. There was only on demand TV. Staying over winter, in England and with dark early nights, I’m afraid this is a must and you cannot call something luxury if you don’t provide the basics. We stayed new year and couldn’t even watch the countdown. Had to squint on a phone. DVD player provided with selection of very dated DVD’s but if the tv issue was sorted, it wouldn’t be needed. It’s a shame that a stay of nearly £1000 was down priced by these issues, a lot of which have been mentioned before in the book but haven’t been addressed. The listing needs revising to make it reflect a more true picture.

- Katherine, December 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The Pines Lodge park is a new development with very popular high standard lodges. We are disappointed that you are not entirely happy with your stay. The kitchen and equipment are all new, if there was anything that you felt was missing or not up scratch, we could have easily rectified this had you got in touch with us during your stay. The bedroom blinds and the curtains do cover the entire windows so should block the light out when needed, but we will look to make sure they aren’t broken or caught which could stop them drawing fully. The main bedroom air vent has an adjustable cover to keep cold air out and the bathroom vents allow air circulation for health and safety. Unfortunately, the TV issue is caused by a fire at the local transmitter. It is something that we are aware of but it is out of our control, many local areas have been affected. We have ensured that you are still able to access the smart TV channels and streaming. The NYE countdown was available to watch live on the BBC iplayer on the main living room TV. Property Owner

“No tv reception at the time due to issue in the area, winter nights were cold so tv was needed.”

Other than that it was a fantastic stay and would consider stopping again once the issue was sorted:)

“The Lodge and the site were first class.”

The location was wonderful as is North Yorks. Thoroughly enjoyed the week .

Alison September 2021

“As mentioned in the visitors book the toilet seat in the en suite was loose and the vent above the double bed does get draughty when the wind blows in a certain direction.”

Other than that we had no problems or complaints and had a wonderful time. The lodge had everything we needed and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise. We would definitely go again.

Pamela July 2021

“It was a beautiful lodge and we were very comfortable.”

I wrote in the book that the only things I felt we re missing was: A washing line Some sort of shade for the decking area it was not when we stayed and the decking area was lovely but my elderly mum was unable to sit out as there was no shade for her Otherwise no complaints. The welcome pack was lovely. We would stay again.

- Pamela, July 2021

We had a stain on the double duvet cover beds in the twin room were not very comfy for our grown up boys and the toilet seat in the bathroom was broken and needs replacing other than that liked the place very quiet and convenient for the area central for sight seeing

- Julie, July 2021

Thank you for alerting us about the toilet seat, it has now been fixed. We apologise if there was a mark on the bedding, if you had alerted us to this we would have changed it straight away for you. Both our cleaner and linen provider pride themselves in presenting the property to a very high standard. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and had a nice holiday. Property Owner

“Huckleberry was lovely!”

It was exactly as shown on the photographs and how it was described. I would definitely recommend anyone wanting to stay in Runswick Bay to use Huckleberry

Helen May 2021

“The accommodation was fantastic, just as listed, and I would recommend this particular property to family and friends.”

Whilst the booking experience with Sykes was great, I have been considering whether I would use this company again in preference to other holiday companies as in the last 24 hours prior to departure I received e-mail, (multiple) telephone, and voicemail messages all reminding me about how to leave the property and stating I had taken keys with me in error when in fact Sykes has got the wrong departure date for our party. I did feel hassled by the experience which is not what you want on the last day of the holiday, and the reminders were a little condescending. One set of instructions is perfectly satisfactory.

The property

Staithes 2.4 miles.

Tucked away on the grounds of The Pines at Runswick resting just a stone's throw away from the coast, you will find the chic ground-floor dwelling of Huckleberry.

Hosting a spacious open-plan living space, this attractive abode adds a touch of luxury to any family holiday to the north of Yorkshire. Be welcomed in this stunning self-catering cottage, making yourself feel right at home in the sitting area as you relax and unwind on the stylish grey sofa and scan the sleek TV for all of your favourite shows.

Grab tasty treats from the beautiful sage green kitchen or show off your culinary skills at the impressive gas hob, as you prepare a fantastic feast for all.

Listen as friends chat at the breakfast bar, cracking open a bottle of bubbly and toasting to quality time with loved ones before grabbing a seat at the dining table and indulging in your mouth-watering meal.

Continue the evening out on the veranda with card games at the pretty outdoor seating area, watching as the sun sets on another splendid day by the coast.

Back inside you will find a spacious and airy bathroom, perfect for catching a moment of peace and quiet as you take a long soak in the tub.

Grab your towel and head for one of the two well-decorated bedrooms, including a restful twin and a homely double with the benefit of an en-suite shower room. Start each new day with a scenic stroll down to the soft sand of Runswick Bay Beach, where you can enjoy a dip in the waters or set off on a thrilling hike along the coast.

Explore the historical town of Whitby, learning of local legend and myths as you ascend up the 199 Steps to the Gothic remains of Whitby Tower.

Spot the iconic Whalebone Arch as you lay your towels down on the beach, or take a tour of the Captain Cook Memorial Museum before a dinner in one of the many well-established restaurants.

Further afield, Scarborough offers a fun day out for the whole family, with attractions such as the medieval Scarborough Castle and SEA LIFE Scarborough Aquarium. The encompassing landscapes of the North York Moors are filled with off-beaten tracks and unspoilt paths all waiting to be explored, with landmarks such as Wheeldale Roman Road and Beggar's Bridge to see along the way.

With so much to see and do in the area, it's little wonder that Huckleberry makes a fantastic choice for your next adventure to Yorkshire.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

STAITHES

Whitby 10 miles.

The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to an RNLI lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff to the sea’s edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.

One small well behaved dog is welcome.
