The location was beautiful, and very nice people. Some things not right in lodge , but got them sorted apart from the blind in the twin bedroom it was broken and wouldn’t come down. So daughter was unable to get dressed and undressed in there.

Our stay at Waterfoot lodge was relaxing, and comfortable. The lodge itself was well presented with everything we needed for our stay. I would point out that you will need to take tea, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper with you as none was provided. The furniture was clean and comfortable. The carpet in the living room could do with some carpet cleaner but that didn't take anything away from our stay. The nearest shops are in Malton, which is a 10 minute drive away. We'd highly recommend the Howardian Hills circular, the Castle Howard and Pretty woods circular and trips to Scarborough and Filey. All in all, well worth the money.
