Pickering Lodges

Beds, settees etc, were excellent

I booked last minute for a 2-night break in the Levisham Lodge. The decor and furnishings in the lodge are a little dated but it was spotlessly clean and tidy. The hot tub was great although it did seem to have cooled down by the end of our stay. We had a meal at the on-site restaurant which was nice.

Very comfortable only thing I would say is the main bed is on the small side

Lovely holiday home, comfortable beds although the double was a bit small when youre used to a king size. Large hot tub that was checked each day.

Overall a lovely experience a few issues with the lodge, which were highlighted with the person on site. I would consider going again and recommend to friends.

Great location. Friendly staff. Ideal for families. Lovely and clean. WiFi also available which was a bonus.

Absolutely Brilliant we have been many times and it never cease to amaze me. The lodges the restaurant and the service are fantastic and nothing is to much to make your stay good ...Only been back 2 days and already booking for next year

Had a fantastic weekend, lovely clean and tidy place, beds were lovely and the hot tub was a lovely bonus definitely be back next year

Clean, comfortable but not a luxury lodge, very tired and worn, needs a lot of updating.Lovely setting, peaceful and quiet

Wonderful place

3 good size bedroom with plenty of storage space. Youve a nice clear view of the play area so kids can go and play if they are old enough whilst still keeping a watchful eye. Veranda also gets the sun all day and plenty of furniture.

We had a fabulous time. The weather was glorious too.The lodge was modern, very comfortable and clean.All staff we met were friendly and helpful.Very peaceful location.The bar/restaurant was lovely. Great food, good value for money. We would definitely recommend and visit again.

Superb lodge - well furnished and nicely decorated. Very comfortable and reasonably priced.

Comfortable sofas and and made all the better by having new beds which were very comfortable.

A few niggles - shower over very deep bath and temperature control knob too tight to adjust, resulting in water being extremely hot. Bi-folding door to en-suite in need of repair/ replacement and too noisy to be used in the middle of the night when partner sleeping... Several, very strong air freshners in the lodge which became quite overpowering by the end of the week. Overall though, very comfortable and (almost) home from home...

Great lodge, secluded.

A very attractive site and the chalet was clean and comfortable. A lovely lake with water birds to watch with their young - all in all a very pleasant place to stay

Very comfortable, friendly owner, food in the site pub was beautiful, presented lovely and a decent price.

Had a good time potty weather was up and down

Bed edges dangerous shelf loose tele poor rad nob fell off,not very good

The lodge was clean, and the kitchen facilities were good. The lodge decor was dated, and the smell was overpowered with air fresheners. The beds were very uncomfortable. The slats need tightening as all beds squeaked with the slightest movement. The pillows were lumpy. The towels set out for the children were thread bare. On the first night there was a significant leak in the kitchen. Although this was rectified the next day, there was no acknowledgement or recompense from the management, even though my husband had explained that he had to get up every hour during the night to empty the washing bowl. The garden table and chairs were filthy as were the chair covers. The chairs were unusable. There was no recycling facilities. Although the owner said they separated the recycling, this was hard to believe as we were told to put all of our rubbish into a bin bag and place into a central point. We took our recycling home, We were alarmed to discover that when guests leave, the water from the jacuzzi was emptied onto the track outside the lodges. The chemical infused water ran onto plants and shrubs. We ate at the pub restaurant on the last night. The food was appalling. Everything was overcooked. The onion rings and garlic dough balls were brown and too hard to eat. The burgers and pizza were poor. The food was presented on silver trays which were tarnished. The tables were sticky. Overall we made the best out of a bad situation. We would not recommend the Lodge, which was described as luxury.

Some minor defects with furnishings but generally good and most things provided that you will need during your stay

5 Stars, the lodges, Spencers and the team are fantastic. Really enjoyed our short break.Really close to Pickering and 30 mins drive to the coast, my only gripe is that I didnt stay longer.

The lodge was great , only slight snag was the beds were not super comfy other than that recliner sofas looking out over the lake . Perfect

Very comfortable lodge

Great few days

A very comfortable lodge in a great situation for exploring the area . Staff are extremely helpful and friendly cant thank them enough for making it a great break . Spencers bar and grill excellent

Excellent lodge, well situated overlooking the lake. Warm and comfortable inside with a large hot tub outside to relax in. Well equipped kitchen.

Would visit again idea location spot ,summer months would be better ,had a nice break friendly staff

Our second stay here. We were in lodge 1 closest to bar and there was a wedding on so unfortunately we heard the boom boom boom till late. Normally this wouldnt really bother me too much but I ended up being poorly so went to bed early but hearing that couldnt sleep. Lodge has lovely view of the lake but If like me you dont want to hear children squealing this wont be the lodge for you as its right next to play area. Not an issue in winter but dare say it would be in warmer months. Bed in double room not very comfortable. Lodge needs few tweaks. Fire wasnt working and was going to be taken out and we were told this on arrival. I felt the cold even though hearing on full. Spotlight in bedroom hanging out/ not working . One toilet roll for 3 nights for 4 people not enough though luckily I had brought one from home. The hot tub was lovely and always warm enough. Reclining sofa nice and comfy. Well equipped kitchen. Spencers bar nice for a drink though we didnt eat in there so cannot comment about food. We paid for three nights as no option for two but due to ill health ended up being a total waste of money for us as checked out really early on Sun morning after feeling ill all day Sat but son and girlfriend stayed bit later. We intended to go to Black Bull pub at end of road as we went last time and it was so cosy. All in all, a nice lodge in a pleasant location but needs little tweaks to make it perfect and cosy.
