Guests say
South Lodge in Driffield is a beautifully renovated cottage praised for its high standard finish, cleanliness, and tranquil setting. Guests enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the wood-fired hot tub, despite its initial maintenance. The property's location is convenient for visiting nearby towns and the coast, although some noted it's on a busy road. The host's communication and responsiveness are highly regarded.
Guests consistently described the property as immaculately clean and spotless, indicating a very high level of cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to nearby towns and the coast, but some guests mentioned the busy road and the lack of immediate surroundings for dog walking, which affected the convenience for some visitors.
The beds were noted as comfy and the property as cosy, but a few guests found the lounge seating uncomfortable for four adults, suggesting a slight compromise on comfort in the living area.
Facilities like the bath/shower, kitchen, and hot tub are well-received, but the hot tub's maintenance and the occasional lack of Wi-Fi and live TV impacted the score. The mention of a small fridge and lack of outdoor furniture also suggests room for improvement.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience with the host's communication and some nice touches like robes, there is no mention of gifts, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts provided.

This was an unbelievable property, hot tub amazing, fittings were really good. A really well presented property, renovated to a very high standard. Only one improvement I would make would be to maybe add an elegant corner sofa in the lounge, to make a more comfier environment

Stunning property finished to a high level, with excellent facilities. Really handy for east coast towns such as Bridlington, or the beautiful York.The host is excellent - stayed in touch the whole time and was on hand to support, especially when I realised I’m not very good at lighting fires! The hot tub is a bit tricky to master, but great once you get it going. The robes for everyone were a nice touch. Highly recommend.

very attentive host The home was amazing, very clean and everything you need in the kitchen. The area is so peaceful once the traffic calms down. Hot tub took a while to get going but that was down to the weather and air not being able to get it going but once it was hot it was amazing sat out in the middle of nowhere in the dark. peace and quiet and very relaxing.
