Applegrove Country Park, Scarborough

Location and hot tub

Property wasnt very clean, towel were dirty, only 1 teaspoon in draw, kitchen utensils dirty, lots of cobwebs everywhere

The place was easy to find and easy to get into. Large and spacious and very comfortable. Close to Scarborough and shops. Nice and quiet.

No wifi. No shop or facilities on site. Some parts could do with a little touch up. The frying pan has seen better days.

It was clean and prepared earlier than expected. Lovely decorated and very cosy. Ideally located.

Tv very small, and not a smart TV. No wifi, sofas were a little uncomfortable but we just joined them together and have a sofa day with the duvet.

The sauna was fabulous for us & the reason we booked this lodge in particular. A basic little cabin but just enough for the purpose, pity the door wouldn't shut properly & some of the interior features were missing..like lights, working timer etc. Hot tub was nice & clean but is dated & basic. Wasn't really getting hot enough for cold miserable weather with the lid open. Felt exposed being so high up on the deck & very overlooked from the nextdoor lodge when they arrived. Seemed to have dodgy controls that you needed to guess how to use when water went onto that area the lights would buzz on & off. Lodge had lovely hot water. We got a price deal but would still say it was expensive even with the discount considering everything like the lack of interior comfort, no decent cooking facilities..we could of had an hotel stay with breakfast for the same price for 3 nights without having to buy a frying pan as that's the only way to cook anything on a hob! I have to write these next comments in the 'like' section as I've ran out of space on the 'dislike' section of review! There was a news report recently about non stick pans that are scratched & peeling leaching into your food when cooking & causing cancer! PS - I don't wear any foundation makeup & this was disgusting to find on the presented 'clean' towels & side of bed sheet - had they been changed at all was my next question so I slept on a folded over duvet. Poor show & no attention to detail seems to be the flavour here :(

The keys were in a lock box on the side of door but there's no light to see the digit codes which seemed difficult to rotate so it took a while to even realise that the box wasn't even locked! We had to drive around a few times upon arrival trying to find the right lodge looking at every building in the dark to try find the right name & number! A MAP would REALLY HELP! Also the lodge was just number 22 - not the full name it has on the booking & only worked out it was the right place cos of the sauna on the side deck area. Bathroom door handle & lock broken & I got 'trapped' in there a few times when completely shutting the door :( The boiler cupboard was swimming with water on the floor when we arrived & there's not enough heating in the living space for it to be comfortable at this time of year. We were cold sitting watching tv, warm enough in the bedroom which was good due to rubbish bedding provided & the small bathroom towel rail was good for drying things. Furniture lacking comfort (not the same furniture as the photos show) & not great if 4 adults were there together - better for a 2 person place. No toiletries other than a tiny soap. Totally grim tea towel & the frying pans were shocking, we couldn't use them as they were so scratched & greasy yeuchhh - the first thing we had to do was go out to buy a new one or not cook. Very basic pans, odd cutlery & glasses. No proper oven despite listing stating an oven - microwave is a grill combination but the trivet to use grill aspect or anything to use in ti are missing. The beds are terrible, lumpy crap mattresses, no mattress protectors, sheets that don't fit properly to cover adequately & only summer weight quilts with no additional blankets or throws to use if you are cold during the night. I found a makeup stained towel rolled up for our use on the bed along with similar stains on the side of the bed sheet!

size

wasn’t the lodge I booked

When we arrived, we were searching for our booked property for nearly 17 minutes, and then manages to call customer care, which was shut by then..then rang manager, only to know that my lodge had been changed and i dint receive any email or information about it. Then i was given a replacement lodge, which was okay but few things were a bit off..coffe provided was not enough for 2 people for 4 days, which i can have outside, but i would still like to have morning coffee, specially when there is no deliveries possible on site.

I dint like the fact that i could not use netflix or amazon as the tv provided had only skytv. I was there for 3 nights, with bad weather outside and no usable tv inside. Also, there was a dead bird outside by the jacuzzi. Dishwash provided was already used. Window in the kitchen and room with 2 single bed had something dead outside as it was stinking all day all night.

The park was nice and the hot tub was great. Fact you could bring pets was positive! Overall good size for us with 2 adults and 2 kids.

So, the double bed mattress is awful - you can feel the springs coming through the mattress. Also, the bathroom door is broken and the toilet seat is broken too, so whenever you sit on it, it basically falls off. Really needs to be changed asap.
