Guests say
Guests have had a delightful experience at Rock on Tommy, praising its immaculate condition, peaceful surroundings, and wildlife encounters. The lodge's high standard of furnishings and thoughtful touches like welcome treats have been appreciated, although some minor maintenance issues and a lack of detailed location instructions were noted.
The lodge generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its spotless condition upon arrival. However, a few guests noted issues such as dirty sofa cushions and a found dog's toy, slightly lowering the score.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions and nature. Guests enjoyed the peaceful site and the wildlife, although some found it challenging to locate the property initially.
While the lodge is described as cosy and the bed as comfy by some, there are several mentions of hard mattresses and sofas, and loose toilet seats, suggesting room for improvement in overall comfort.
The lodge is well-equipped and furnished to a high standard, but there are reports of minor maintenance issues such as problems with sinks, toilet seats, and patio doors. The absence of a vacuum cleaner was also noted.
While guests appreciated welcome treats like milk, tea, coffee, and biscuits, there is not enough consistent information across reviews to score this category accurately. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed.

The site was so peaceful and quiet. It was the perfect location for a much needed mini break. I would definitely book Rock On Tommy again.

The only things we'd add would be some hooks on the bedroom doors for jackets, some coasters? (we weren't sure whether it was OK to put hot drinks on the tables) and perhaps some lighter-weight duvets for summer/early autumn. The owner happened to be in Sewerby and came out very promptly to the couple of problems we did have, one of which was fixed there and then (the leaking radiator) - the other will be looked at under the holiday home's warranty (faulty lock on the patio doors). The only other thing we'd highlight is that the rubber cover for the key box leaks black colour on your hands (and it looked like the colour had been running down the wall in the rain too), so it might be an idea to replace that with another sort of cover. The location of the holiday home on the site was lovely, not far from the woods where some deer lived - the only disturbance was from the construction of another holiday home a little way to the back of ours, which will happen from time to time on a developing site. We liked that the home's outdoor area was fully enclosed by fencing and a gate so that our dog could safely be allowed outside and we could have the patio doors open. Lovely base for visiting Filey, Bridlington (walking distance or on the land-train), the local nature reserves and beaches (Danes Dyke NR is also walking distance) and of course Sewerby Hall & Gardens which is right next door.
