Easthorpe Lodge Visitors Book - page 3
Thank you Rebecca for the loan of your beautiful cottage, by far and away the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. Very well equipped and lots of little extras for the children. The boys have enjoyed Diggerland, Flamingo Land and Yorvik/Dig. The adults enjoyed National Trust properties, a scrumptious trip to ‘Betty’s’ and the beautiful scenery. All enjoyed the walk round the city walls in York. The cottage is in a good location and plenty to see and do close by. Can’t comment on local restaurants as ate in all the time, just had to use that kitchen – wow! None of us want to go home, but I suppose we must. We hope to return in 2010. Many thanks.

Thank you Rebecca for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage and for the ‘little extras’, which we appreciate. We have enjoyed a lovely week’s stay in your delightful cottage and hopefully will return. It’s by far the best accommodation we have stayed at in an excellent location and all we could ever want. You have thought of everything to make guests feel so welcome, giving the planning a lot of thought and care, sparing no expense. We have visited many nice places this week.

Beautiful cottage. Beautiful countryside. Thanks Rebecca for thinking of everything. Information packs were excellent. We will certainly recommend to friends and family. The Blacksmith’s Arms comes highly recommended.

We went away for dad’s 50th. He enjoyed our visit to Easthorpe Lodge. On the Friday we visited Scarborough, cloudy but sunny. On the Saturday we visited Castle Howard, very bright. The cottage is very well done and very warm and inviting. Dad loved the kitchen, Mum loved the heating!

We have had a great weekend break in this lovely cottage. Very well equipped with everything you could need. Had a very nice meal at the Blacksmiths Arms Sunday evening. Visited Whitby; nice place to wander for half a day. Enjoyed the area and drives through the moors, very peaceful and picturesque; would recommend as an area to visit.

We’ve had a lovely weekend break in your beautiful well-equipped cottage. We took a trip to Castle Howard; the house was closed, but we did walk around the grounds, which was lovely. We also visited Scarborough and spent a day in York. York Minster was well worth the visit. Hope to come back to Easthorpe Lodge again.

Enjoyed our 3 night break at the Lodge. It’s a real treat to stay in such a well decorated and comfortable cottage. For two couples, it has been well thought out with the choice of bedrooms and the two sofas in the sitting room. N and I made use of the garden to do some observing with a telescope, which was good, even though it was freezing cold. Good central heating is really needed at this time of the year and the lodge is really warm. We enjoyed our visits to Pickering, Hutton-Le-Hole and Helmsley. We ate at the Ambiente in Malton, which was very good, and the Blacksmith’s Arms, which I thought was mediocre (even though it is a Good Pub Guide Food Recommendation) – to be honest I would try somewhere else. However it is nearby. Looking forward to coming back to the lodge. Thanks Rebecca.

A delightful cottage with easy access to so many interesting places. We have had a most relaxing visit and hope to return in the near future. The cottage is beautifully presented and so well equipped. We visited ‘The Blacksmiths Arms’ a couple of times. Excellent value; especially ‘Fish & Chip Night’ on Thursday. We also enjoyed dinner at ‘The Old Lodge’, Malton on Valentine’s Night. Thank you Rebecca for your hospitality.

Rebecca – Thank you for the use of your cottage. Everything is well put together and tastefully done. We have had a fantastic weekend and will be returning again very soon. We came as a party for my 40th (Kay) and have had a great time. We will recommend it to our friends. Thank you very much

Nice walks from a lovely cottage. It has everything anyone would need for a relaxing break. ‘Blacksmiths Arms’ worth a visit. I’m sure we will return. It’s a very nice part of Yorkshire.
