East of Ayton
Pros:

We had problems first night with the TV and Internet and after we explained we were given a better room for the same price. Both rooms were very comfortable .

Cons:

One of the exits for our car from the hotel was very narrow with stonework on either side. It was an awkward exit.

Gorgeous place in a beautiful setting. Fab price, cheerful staff and yummy food. x
Pros:

My BFF and I travelled for an evening wedding do. We were extremely impressed by this hotel - in a gorgeous setting and with the most gorgeous room. Everything was really clean and tidy and the staff were friendly and cheerful. We had a wonderful meal in the fabulous conservatory - and we were so loathe to leave the next day that we stayed and had a coffee in the pub part! We will definitely be back - hopefully bringing the rest of the gang with us! Thank you so much, we had an amazing stay, at an exceptionally good cost too. x

Pros:

The room was nice and spacious

Cons:

The food in the evening. Husband had pie chips and veg. The pie was a pukka pie chips were frozen but ok plenty of veg. I got the mac and cheese. The portion size was absolutely atrocious. 3 spoonful and was gone. No rich cheese sauce it was a very week minimal sauce with a little grated cheese. I had husbands vegs. I choose the mac and cheese as I was running the scarborough 10k the next day. I mentioned to the staff 3 times about the portion size and was told that that is our smallest portion dish. I paid £15 for that. Appalling. I ended up having the sticky toffee pudding and custard. Custard cold sponge microwaved as there were hot spots. Not happy at all.

Disappointing
Cons:

We were without a shower for the 2 nights we stayed, the water was cold, it was reported twice to the staff who apologised and said it would be attended to, it was not and late in our last evening a member of staff did try to get the shower working but was unable to, she reported it again to reception and returned to our room with an apology and asked if we would like to move to another room, as it was our last night at East Ayton Lodge we did not move to another room but thanked the staff for the offer. We were offered a complimentary drink as compensation for 2 nights without a shower (there was no bath in the bathroom, just the shower)

Ideal. Clean and comfortable with good food.
Pros:

Great location for the purpose of my visit. Super staff. Had dinner one evening which was great quality and very reasonably priced. The room was clean with a good ensuite shower room.

Cons:

I had a ground floor courtyard room and could hear people in the room above walking around and using the water very clearly. It didn't affect me significantly but might if you are a light sleeper. There are other rooms within the main building which may be better.
