“Garthgate Lodge is an exceptional place to stay.”
Sarah, the owner, has thought of everything.
As an example, Sarah caters for your dog better than a number of places cater for the fee paying humans. There's dog treats, poo bags, dog bed, bowls, etc.
As for the Lodge itself, it is equipped to a very high standard, I would say better than most peoples homes. The layout is perfect, the rooms are a great size, the walk-in shower is brilliant and big enough for two (only for water saving reasons of course :) ). The hot tub is a god send and being undercover, means regardless of the weather, it can be enjoyed all year round. The garden is dog friendly (there is a barrier which goes across the Lodge entrance to prevent your dog from escaping) and a perfect sun trap.
The welcome basket and food provided was absolutely a lovely, tasteful touch. Sarah as an owner, lives on an adjacent property and communication with her was spot on. Having spoken to Sarah on a couple of occasions, she is a lovely person, enjoys catering for guests in the Lodge and really does make people feel welcome. Her suggestion of a nearby beach for our dog was impeccable, so much nicer than Whitby, both for our dog and ourselves. A nicer host you could not find!
The best compliment I can give is that we will be coming back here in the near future, to explore Yorkshire a bit more and to enjoy the Lodge again.
Would I recommend Garthgate Lodge to others? I would but don't want to as it is a gem I'd rather keep to myself.
Thank you so much for your kind review, when guests take the time to complete an on line review it means so much. So glad that you enjoyed the near by beach it is our favourite. We really look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future, kind regards Sarah Whitfield
