“Was a lovely stay.”

We really enjoyed it.

We really enjoyed it.

Carol October 2024

“Sea Holly Lodge was very well equipped and spacious for a family including some toys for little ones, also with a very nice veranda.”

The beds were very comfortable and so was the seating in the lounge. We all had a wonderful holiday, visiting Whitby and Sandsend by bus, which saves having to find a parking space in busy weeks, and Runswick Bay itself is a very picturesque village. I would definitely book here again

“Very spacious and well appointed accommodation within a nice and securely gated area.”

Location is also fantastic, less than a 10 minute walk to the beach (although it is a very steep hill!).

“Our second stay here which is testament itself to what we think of the place.”

A fabulous property in a brilliant location. Extremely spacious, very comfortable with good facilities. It's been 2 years since we last visited and there are a few minor issues, the top shelf in the fridge is broken and falls out easily, a couple of things missing from both bathrooms where there are just fixings on the wall, shower in main bathroom won't stay high on the pole and just slides down, window by front door still not fixed in 2 years but at least there's a notice saying not to use it! As I said, just minor issues but thought I'd mention them. We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely be back. Thanks

“We had a wonderful stay at the lodge, had everything we needed.”

It was very quiet and relaxing and plenty to see and do. The only thing we couldn’t do was work out how to turn the heating down as at times it got a little too hot in the lodge but apart from that everything was perfect. Will definetly book again during summer months and have a bbq in the beautiful outdoor space. Thank you again for a wonderful few days away

“We had a great holiday, everything was as described and a fantastic location for exploring.”

I would recommend to family and friends.

“Beautiful lodge had everything we needed.”

Location was perfect, double bed, very comfortable as was the pillows. I would recommend this lodge to anybody.

- Sandra, June 2023
T June 2023

“Tv was Internet only.”

We had to set up passwords ourselves. The password print was not clear. After initial difficulty I was able to navigate options. We were 2 couples. The other couple would have had great difficulty. There was no welcome pack that might have helped. Otherwise the lodge was very good.

“Hoover that was there needs changing as it makes a Terrible noise and full of hair around the brushes.”

Stephen April 2023

“The lodge had a lovely welcoming pack with many useful items, thank you.”

There was also lots of toys and games for the children (and adults) to use. The lodge would definitely benefit from better quality single beds. Although the lodge was very clean, there was some mould on the bath silicone, also, the toilet roll holders need securing in both bathrooms as they kept falling off the wall. We did have issues with the boiler as we shouldn’t need to keep refilling the system due to it losing pressure (It’s supposed to be a holiday). There was also no instruction file to refer to for use in the lodge although when asked the owner was unaware that it was missing and was addressing the issue asap The lodge is well equipped and comfortable and there was no extra charges for cots, a highchair AND our little dog which was a big plus. It’s easy to miss the turn in to the lane for the lodge as the sign can only be seen coming from one direction, we drove straight past the entrance first time but found it when turning round on the road. Maybe a local planning problem? We would definitely stay at the lodge in the future as it’s a really pleasant, tidy well kept site, immaculate in fact and we had a great time. Its also very well situated for exploring the area. Overall a few little niggles but none of which spoilt out holiday at all.

Azadeh October 2022

“I really loved sea holly lodge, when we arrived we didn’t know the exact address and gentlemen over the phone was very helpful and patient towards us.”

Everything was well organised and super clean.So far this property was the only one which we had no problem with it .The equipments were provided in high standard,because some owner leave broken stuff to use and they mention that is full of facilities and equipment which is not. I really recommend to everyone, you feel you are in your house without any hassles.

- Azadeh, October 2022
Victoria October 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

The lodge was spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. It was in a quiet location but easy walking distance to the beach. We paid a little more than what we usually do for a mini break but it was definitely worth it. The lovely place coupled with lucky weather meant we had our best uk break ever. Thanks

- Victoria, October 2022
T L October 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Sea Holly Lodge, it is very well laid out, spacious, clean lodge, in a great position for exploring the area.”

We found the seating in the lounge area a little compact and the lack of bins/recycling bins at the lodge a bit unusual. A clothes airer would be very handy too to dry clothes after wet days out. A welcome/visitors book with dog walks, local area info including vets/doctors contacts, nearest shops, where to put rubbish etc would be a very ‘welcome’ addition. Thank you for all the kind welcome treats they were much appreciated.

Bernard September 2022

“This was our first stay in a lodge site and we were amazed how much space there was inside sea holly lodge particularly the open plan lounge/ diner/ kitchen and the master bedroom, also plenty of storage space.”

Used the lodge as a base for exploring the cleveland way and we found Runswick Bay stunning and our dog loved playing on the beach every day. Plenty of places nearby to eat and drink. The secure site was very quiet, just what we wanted. Loved every minute. We will be back!

- Bernard, September 2022
Arnold August 2022

“Gorgeous chalet on a lovely little site.”

Very well equipped with everything we needed plus some extra goodies kindly left by the owners. Comfy beds and plenty fresh towels. I would highly recommend a stay here. Great location. We had some amazing days on the nearby beach and beautiful scenic walks along the coast.

- Arnold, August 2022
Lynn August 2022

“A fantastic place to stay with everything and more!”

Lovely welcome hamper too. The lodge is beautiful.

- Lynn, August 2022
Paul August 2022

“The property is on a lovely site, well cared for and quiet and in a lovely part of Yorkshire.”

The lodge was clean and well presented with everything your could have needed. There where only two slight niggles. On the window next to the main entrance door the mechanism is broken. When you open the window it almost falls off. The other item was the double bed mattress. It was very lumpy and uncomfortable. However I would definitely stay there again. We had a lovely holiday.

- Paul, August 2022
Mandy July 2022

“We had a fabulous holiday staying at Sea Holly Lodge.”

It was spotless on arrival, very spacious and comfortable with plenty of storage. Having read previous comments about lack of hooks I took an over door hook rack which solved the problem. Having said that some hooks on doors would be extremely useful! We found no issue with the TV not having access to the standard channels and enjoyed Netfelix/used i player to get BBC news, shame you couldnt get a local weather forecast but you can easily get this online as the WiFi connection was good (much to the relief of our teenage kids). Everything we needed was provided and the complimentary tray of goodies and milk in the fridge was a lovely touch. The site itself is very peaceful and it was nice to come back and relax in the lodge and have a game of Scrabble (also provided). There's plenty of info provided in the side unit if needed but we used the internet most of the time. We must recommend a visit to the tiny Beech Grove bakery in Runswick next door to Runswick Bay Hotel, run by a lovely lady who makes the most amazing cakes, pastries and bread. A great location to visit some beautiful places and Runswick beach within walking distance was wonderful. We had a brilliant holiday, thank you.

- Mandy, July 2022
John July 2022

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

Thank you. It could have been improved by having better information about the lodge. For example there was no info about the cabin or the site in the lodge. We had no idea where to take our rubbish. A simple guide or recommendation of local pubs and restaurants would have been useful! We were also disappointed that the property didn’t have an outside bbq or instructions on how to use the tv or the Bluetooth speaker. Main bathroom has a smell of stagnant water which probably should be looked at. Similarly there is a loose stair handrail off the decking at the rear which needs attention. Thanks JC Harrogate 17/7/22

Ann July 2022

“Lodge was spotlessly clean, beds really comfy, great quiet site, Runswick Bay is amazing!”

A few small bits missing/in need of attention to make it 10/10 (no airer to dry clothes, serious lack of hooks for hanging towels/clothes in bedrooms and bathrooms, no welcome information pack just site rules and a copy of the owners receipt showing what he paid for the lodge??, handrail on both sets of steps needs attention bits falling apart, decking area in need of a good clean down)

- Ann, July 2022
Sarah July 2022

“On arrival the property was very clean, smelled fresh, and had a homely feel to it.”

It had everything we needed for our weekend stay, and the added touch of tea/coffee/milk and biscuits was lovely! The only downside was not having basic TV channels, but otherwise we couldn't fault it. We wish we could have stayed longer, and definitely hope to return in the near future!

- Sarah, July 2022
Gail June 2022

“The lodge was clean and beautifully set out with everything you need and more, the site was so quiet and relaxing.”

There was lots of beautiful walks for the dog and the beach is minutes walk away with a lovely pub and cafe right next to it. The only issue we had was there was no Aerial for the TV so you cannot watch normal TV channels

- Gail, June 2022
Clive May 2022

“Had a great stay, very quiet site during our stay and very relaxing.”

A very short walk into adjacent fields and then views over the sea and access to the Cleveland way path. A good base for Whitby etc. We would quite happily stay again.

- Clive, May 2022
Wilfred April 2022

“The lodge was brilliant as was the location.”

We had a lovely 4 day break that would be hard to better. Would have loved to return for another 4 nights in July but far to expensive for my budget.

- Wilfred, April 2022
Damian April 2022

“Lovely clean lodge, so nice to arrive and find milk in the fridge and other bits and plenty of clean towels.”

Also some ice cream had been left in the freezer - my girls loved that - thank you so much.

- Damian, April 2022
Glenda March 2022

“Beautiful property in peaceful quiet surroundings.”

Well equipped and furnished. Beds were comfy and linen good quality. Downside there is no information pack with useful numbers, links, how to use etc. water pressure in boiler was constantly dropping so everyday I was having to refill the boiler before firing up. Would stay again as beautiful location and lovely well kept site.

- Glenda, March 2022
Neil December 2021

“The lodge was lovely and clean throughout.”

Very spacious for a lodge type accommodation. Not much for children to do outside but great for somewhere to stay if spending days out of the facility.

- Neil, December 2021
Sue September 2021

“The lodge was new, clean, modern and quiet.”

We used this as a base, there is nothing else on the site and you take pot luck with neighbours as you do on any site. I would have liked an extra saucepan and hooks on back of bedroom and bathroom doors. The TV was a let down but really had a lovely time and would book again.

- Sue, September 2021
Nicola September 2021

“Cup holder fell off wall Single bed not comfortable - gave me bad back Bin in kitchen came off hook so didn't open when you open cupboard My main complaint is there is no terrestrial TV and then we also could not get bbci player or itv hub etc - contacted owner ?”

Who said would get sorted ASAP but didn't so had to watch TV on my small tablet - NOT HAPPY that I paid a lot for this lodge but couldn't watch TV properly !

- Nicola, September 2021
Lorna July 2021

“Such a peaceful place.”

Fantastic for walking and relaxing.

- Lorna, July 2021
Ruth July 2021

“A fantastic location,a short walk to the beach but we'll worth it.”

Only one thing missing from the lodge a clothes airer as your not allowed to hang items over the glass around the veranda.

Settle down in one of the three lovely bedrooms, with the master double bedroom boasting an en-suite shower room, along with two twin bedrooms.

Discover the sparkling bathroom to be home to a bath with an overhead shower so you can choose how best to prepare for your day, with a heated rail in here to keep your towel toasty.

Voted 'Britain's Best Beach' by The Times in 2020, days on the beach are a must when enjoying sunny weather at Runswick Bay; Relax on the sweeping bay and take in the beautiful views with a walk along the sands or splash in the sea with little ones.

From The Pines you can simply stroll down to the heart of Runswick Bay and head to Beech Grove Bakery for some fresh bread in the morning, or enjoy a walk along the beach to awaken your senses before beginning your activities for the day.

Walkers can delight in exploring the Cleveland Way which spans 109 miles, taking in the beautiful moors scenery, the rugged coastline and the villages and landmarks along the way.

Once one of the largest fishing ports on the North East coast, the quaint village of Staithes north of Runswick Bay is well-worth a visit, with a rich history in mineral production, fishing and being the birthplace of Captain James Cook!

Head to Whitby for even more attractions, including the famous 199 Steps leading up to the ominous Whitby Abbey, said to be inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula, and of course there is plenty to explore within the vast North York Moors National Park, bursting with walking and cycling opportunities.
