Heathcliff Lodge receives high praise for its comfort, well-equipped facilities, and the added luxury of a hot tub. Guests appreciate the warm welcome from the knowledgeable host, Cliff, and the delightful interactions with his friendly dog, Max. The property's peaceful location offers a tranquil retreat with beautiful countryside views, and the thoughtful touches, such as welcome hampers, enhance the stay. While there are minor maintenance issues, the overall experience is cherished by visitors who often express a desire to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews consistently mention the lodge being very clean and well-presented, suggesting high standards of cleanliness. There are no significant complaints about cleanliness, indicating guests are generally satisfied in this area.

The lodge is praised for its peaceful setting and proximity to local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. The serene countryside views and easy access to towns and markets contribute to a high score for location.

Guests find the lodge extremely comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and underfloor heating. The presence of a hot tub adds to the comfort level, although there are minor comments about furniture softness and shower height for taller individuals.

The lodge is well-equipped with modern amenities, including a hot tub and up-to-date television with streaming apps. However, the score is slightly lowered due to a few maintenance issues mentioned, such as a non-working shower and heating problems in certain areas.

Many reviews express gratitude for the welcome hamper and other special touches, reflecting the host's thoughtfulness. While these gifts are highly appreciated, it is important to note that such extras, although common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Gemma

    Really appreciated the hospitality and welcome!

  • Jonny

    The owner is really friendly and there to offer advice or just have a chat. The facilities are excellent and everything is very well thought through. We needed some assistance with the hot tub and the owner very quickly sorted us out. The lodge is spotless and the most comfortable lodge we have stayed in by far. The location is fantastic! So close to the town but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere as it’s so peaceful! Special mention to Maxwell who loves to pop by and say hello. He’s such a good boy and never crossed the line into the lodge. The kids absolutely adored him and wanted to bring him home with us. The kids also loved going to see the goats and horses on the farm.l, as well as playing on the games shed and with the footballs and goalposts. We are already planning next years stay! See you soon!
