“Initially shocked that the ‘wooden’ looking lodge was actually plastic … throughout … but after getting inside, it was excellent.”

Spacious, warm, fully kitted out and quite luxurious for a holiday lodge. Heating throughout was very effective, the shower very powerful, big oven, good hub and plenty of storage throughout. Used the hot tub every day, which was lovely, and the patio area, chair and table set was very nice … unfortunately no view, just a big hedge. The location was great, 2 minutes to a pub with fantastic food, 2 minutes from the Clevedon Way walks and a short walk downhill to the bay.

“This lodge was absolutely perfect for us, spacious for me, my partner and our dog, all the facilities we needed, we had, we loved that the fence was all the way around the lodge so the dog could be outside… we thought the mattress was a little too soft for our liking, also it has a dip in the middle, not sure if this may need changing?”

This did not spoil our break one bit and we have already discussed returning one day, this was our first holiday as a 3, and it was truly amazing, such a great lodge in a fantastic setting in such a lovely rural village, we was out walking for upto 4 hours most days! We loved having the Cleveland way on our doorstep, Thankyou lilac lodge!!

“The lodge was in a great location and was clean and tidy.”

The hot tub was lovely and warm and a great addition to our stay. Unfortunately the outdoor cushions were mouldy due to being left outside. There was a sign outside saying put under cover but they should have been kept inside instead. Didn’t spoil our stay but may need replacing or cleaning.

- Michelle, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay, we are pleased you enjoyed the hot tub. Apologies for the cushions we will make sure this is rectified. Paddock lodges team Property Owner

“The lodge was fabulous and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely location.”

Very quiet and hot tub was brilliant. I only point out one thing that needs addressing and that is the bathroom door would not stay shut. It just keeps opening as if the latch wasn’t catching.

- Elaine, May 2024

Many thanks for your positive feedback, we are really please to hear you enjoyed your stay, we will look into the issue mentioned, paddock lodges team Property Owner
Adam October 2023

“Great Lodge and brilliant location (we love Runswick Bay).”

However the double bed was too small and the mattress was too soft and sank in the middle, the single beds were too small as well. Also the jacuzzi could’ve been a bigger model. But apart from that it was a great place for a get away. Really enjoyed it.

- Adam, October 2023

Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the lodge and loved our location in Runswick Bay. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the beds and jacuzzi. The double bed is a standard size, but we'll definitely take your comments into consideration for future improvements. It's great to hear that you had a good time overall and that it was a nice place for a getaway. If there's anything else we can do to make your next visit even better, please let us know. We hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards, Paddock lodges team Property Owner

“We stayed in Lilac Lodge and it was a cosy little lodge.”

Ideal for couples and pet friendly. The Hot Tub ideal for 2. It had everything you need and the welcome pack was a nice touch. We enjoyed the biscuits and crisps. I would say the basic end of the lodges we've stayed at previously- a big caravan with better facilities. An ideal base for the surrounding area. Having the Hotel/ Bar within walking distance was great. The walk to the beach and back up the hill takes serious effort but worth it.

- Joanna, October 2023

Thanks for your review! We're delighted you found Lilac Lodge to be cosy and perfect for couples, and that you enjoyed the hot tub. It's great to hear that you appreciated the welcome pack, including the biscuits and crisps. It sounds like you made the most of our location, with the hotel and bar within walking distance, and that you enjoyed the challenging walk to the beach—definitely a workout, but well worth it! We hope to see you again for another stay. If there's anything we can do to make your next visit even better, please let us know. Best regards, Paddock lodges Team Property Owner

“The lodge was fabulous great location very quiet and peaceful great for the dog ...”

The lodge was fabulous great location very quiet and peaceful great for the dog as enclosed all around the lodge and a great fenced off field for a good run lovely clean and comfy and well equipped you have thought of everything fabulous hot tub used daily after good walks as very hilly in places especially walking to the Bay but well worth it as runswick bay is beautiful great welcome pack and a fabulous toast to a great holiday with the prosecco thankyou this is not a criticism but a clothes maiden or something to hand the swim wear and towels to dry after using hot tub would be great we will definitely booking for next year a fabulous relaxing holiday

- Christine, September 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had a fabulous and relaxing holiday at the lodge. Your suggestion about having a clothes maiden or something similar to hang swimwear and towels for drying after using the hot tub is noted, and we'll certainly look into it. We look forward to welcoming you back next year for another wonderful stay! Paddock lodges team Property Owner
Sandra September 2023

“We had a very comfortable stay at lilac lodge.”

I would say it is more suitable for 2 adults and 2 children rather than 4 adults, the twin room in very small. The lodge had everything we needed including washing up liquid, dish cloth,T towel and dish washer tablets, hair dryer, iron and board. Also a very well equipped kitchen. Bed and pillows comfortable. The welcome pack was appreciated. Loved the hot tub. Runswick Bay is a lovely place would love to return.

“Stayed here a couple of weeks ago.”

It was faultless, there are only a small number of lodges, so its very peaceful and quiet.Its nicely spaced out with a secure decking for the dog.Its in a great spot with the Runswick Bay Hotel a 2 minute walk away (pet friendly) and does great food. Would definitely book again.

- Michael, July 2023

Sonia June 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at Lilac Lodge and we may return again in the future.”

The lodge was well equipped, very clean and in fact everything looked brand new. The hot tub was fabulous and quite private as they seem to have thought about the layout of all the lodges to provide as much privacy as possible. The site was lovely and quiet and we loved the location. We have never visited Runswick Bay before and we were blown away with how lovely it is, so much so that we spent a full day on the beach with our children. The lodge is 2 minutes up a very steep hill from Runswick bay which is very handy. Also very close to Staithes, Sansend and Whitby. If we do come again we would hope to stay longer as there are so many lovely places close by. My only negative is that it was quite expensive. We paid £600 for 2 nights last minute. We have stayed in lodges much bigger than this and also in a lovely location for much less money. We would however return if the prices were a little lower.

- Sonia, June 2023

Many thanks for your kind review. We understand your concern regarding pricing, sykes actually set all the pricing. We have week breaks for around £600. Keep an eye out for future dates. We hope to see you again sometime. Paddock lodges team Property Owner
Tracy June 2023

“We had a lovely holiday.”

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.
