We arrived late afternoon ready for a cup o tea after our long drive. The 12 or so Lodges at Rushpool are sited around and oval green with patches of lawn in front of each lodge. All the lawns are well mown and very tidy. The key instructions were easy and within minutes we were in and the kettle was on. We’d brought our own tea and coffee but we needn’t have bothered. There to greet us was a small basket containing tea, coffee, milk, sugar, biscuits and a bottle of local blueberry wine. What a lovely idea. That bottle didn’t last long! The kitchen was modern and well appointed and contained all crockery, pots and pans and cutlery. The bathroom again was modern and clean with a wet-room shower. Lounge had a comfortable sofa and a digital tv with Netflix Bed was comfortable and bedroom had a built-in sliding door wardrobe. The Lodge had full central heating and instant hot water. Outside there were plenty of walks in the wonderful grounds of Rushpool Hall and if you don’t mind getting your feet wet, fording the river, you can walk to the beach of Saltburn-By-The-Sea in twenty minutes. We loved Foxglove Lodge and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Oh and I forgot to mention the Peacock and Peahen that live in the grounds and spend their days around the lodges. Beautiful birds.

If there was one thing it was the dodgy sound on the tv. So not much then.

The tranquil and relaxing setting

Unable to walk into Saltburn via woodland trail and road is unsafe to walk on?? Taxis needed if visiting Saltburn for food/drink etc
