    May be due to when we went we were unable to find staff on site. My WiFi wasn't active.

    The site was clean and well situated. Loved the view and how easy it was to find. The place was well stocked with everything you would need for your stay.

    Some disappointment

    Our lodge 22 was quite close to a septic tank and often the smell from that and the waste/ dirty linen area drifted. The TV in the double bedroom did not work (it would be an idea to check batteries prior to letting out the lodge on each occasion), would also be useful to instruct guests on accessing TV channels or not in our case, the fire TV was asking for Amazon log in. The pillows were extremely flat, we overcame this by taking pillows from the beds we were not using. The double mattress was not comfortable having to stay pretty much in one position to avoid a spring in the back. The duvet cover on the double bed was torn and the bottom sheet stained with what looked like ink and there were tissues underneath the double bed. There were nobs missing from the oven hob and the kitchen light dimmer switch. This may all seem petty however for close to £500 for 4 nights stay I feel value for money is questionable. I am sure that had I approached the staff about the issues corrections would have been made, however petty my dislikes may appear I would have expected the basics to have been right without complaining but they were not.

    The kitchen was well equipped, there was a spacious bathroom, and the hot tub was fab. Location was good, if you have a car there are many neighbouring attractions to visit.

    The maintenance man had to get us out of the hot tub to put a treatment in and unfortunately didn’t tell us for me to go back in. However, every other part was perfect.

    Staff was absolutely fantastic especially the bar staff they were so helpful and we really appreciated it and the locals are so welcoming

    The hot tub was a little "tired" looking with limited functionality, but it was clean and full of hot water so it was OK for a weekend.

    Lodge could have been cleaner but it wasn’t a problem to us . We didn’t have any washing up liquid or multi purpose spray / cloths to clean for the weekend. Lucky I’m a cleaner and had stuff in my car but for others there is a shop near the beach to get stuff. Or shops not a far drive away. Lodges could do with a welcome booklet with wifi info in and local places to visit etc I did ring for wifi password and got it easily or the lovely staff would of given it if we nipped into the pub.

    Nice cosy lodges , plenty of storage and space, central heating and shower pressure was great! Situated on a quiet site. Amazing pub with reasonably priced drinks & really good food! Staff are fantastic and friendly. Hot tub was amazing, very clean & hot. Stayed at 35°c with the lid off and not very warm British weather

    Found birthday cards and rubbish from the guests before us - not cleaned to standard prior to our arrival. No welcome pack / unusual for a lodge stay Dishwasher - dishes came out filthier than they went in, did not function properly. No staff around to speak to Remote did not work in the bedroom (twin room) kids were unable to watch tv at bedtime Other remotes did not function - low batteries in the other 2 remotes We took our bikes, all main roads, unsafe for children, no cycle route near the property

    Beautiful location Quiet Easy to find Quick check in / check out process

    Really nice lodges, lovely hot tubs and a great site to stay on.

    • 3 Bedroom Liv Lodge Hot Tub

    The lodges were showing signs of age - chipped flooring, marks on walls etc but nothing that affected our stay and couldn't be overlooked. The oven was horrendous and very small, don't plan to cook anything substantial when you are staying, it took 40 mins to cook a small frozen pizza!! Luckily we had taken an airfryer to use for the rest of the weekend. Some sort of outdoor hooks would be good for towels while out in the hot tub and also an airer of some sort to get out for the wet costumes etc after would be really useful. But overall, I would say good value for money.

    Lovely site, really peaceful. The hot tub was lovely and we saw it being maintained twice during our 2 night stay. We had a good size lodge, 2 double bedrooms and a room with bunk beds. Good living space, ideal for entertaining, We went with another family and as their lodge was smaller, we used ours more. Beds were comfy, clean linen, clean towels. A few extras which were handy like washing up liquid, hairdryer, coffee sachets etc. Check in was so easy and check out was basically to leave your key in the lock box. The on site pub was great - little pods in the beer garden which had their own heaters in so we could sit outside while the kids played on the equipment, there were even some toys for them to play with. Nice and secure so we didn't have to worry about cars etc while the kids were doing their own thing. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend and will be staying again. Well situated for Bridlington, Skirlington Sunday Market, Mr Moos Ice Cream Parlour.

    The property was fine except for the hot tub area it was for your own personal use but there was no screens around to make it totally private.

    Very clean sight and lodge was excellent with everything you need supplied for you. Bar and restaurant was brilliant and the outside seating areas also. The hot tub was checked daily by staff to ensure everything was fine.

    Lovely lodge setup with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was superb and the whole site was very peaceful with the 11pm noise curfew observed perfectly by all residents. We went into the black bull for a quick drink and the menu looked really good. Would recommend a walk on the beach at barmston. We had it pretty much to ourselves.

    Pub in sight is really small but bigger outdoor area. Weather wasn’t great so we chose to go elsewhere to avoid having to sit outside. There is cooking facilities in cabin however they are limited. Oven wasn’t the best but it did the job, just takes a long time to heat up. Location is very out of the way with nothing around which if that’s what like then perfect.

    Easy to find and plenty of space for 4 adults, hot tub was lovely and hot! Staff were super helpful. Lights didn’t work in our cabin on our first night but they got an electrician out straight away to fix them for us.

    My only issue but nothing major, i was trying to relax in the hot tub and there was a huge Alsatian dog on the balcony of the pub that just would not stop barking. It drove me mad. If that was annoying me surely it was annoying the owners who made zero attempts to shut it up.

    It was clean, warm, comfy, easy check-in, well stocked inside the lodge.

    Our WiFi was a bit rubbish but didn’t bother us really as we weren’t on our phones much and the tv worked fine, then the provided frying pan we used had warped in the middle so it wouldn’t stay flat on the stove you had to hold it at all times but only niggly bits really nothing to ruin the stay

    Really relaxing getaway for me and my partner the lodge was really well equipped and very comfortable overall then the hot tub was just icing on the cake for us
