Viking Garth Hideaways

A aimé All I can say is fabulous, the place was excellent, slept very well, it is a very lovely spot here, away from all humanity at the bottom of the garden. I would recommend any one wanting peace n quiet within driving distance of any seaside or beach fun. Loved every minute. Had camp fires n everything in the pod u need. Very impressed. No wi fi but who cares.

A aimé Very comfortable bed and sofabed

N'a pas aimé We both run our own businesses and rarely have time to get away. From time to time, we go glamping and have never complained before, but this place fell completely short of what was promised. Instead of peace and quiet, we were left with frustration and stress.
Main issues:
Zero privacy: The cabins are placed way too close together. Every 10 minutes, someone was walking right past our table, staring into our cabin and onto our plates.
In desperate need of renovation: The whole cabin leans to one side, and the bathroom door squeaked so loudly that using it at night woke the entire family. We were forced to leave the door open all night.
No proper cooking facilities: Due to the government ban on barbecues, the site only provided a microwave and a toaster that tripped the electrics whenever we used it (and the fridge barely worked). We had to buy our own camping stove so we wouldn't have to throw away all our food.
Broken TV: The TV provided on site was completely broken and didn't work at all, meaning we couldn't watch anything.
Lack of basic amenities: The bedside lamp didn't work, meaning the main lights were either all on or completely off.
Nothing for children: Despite advertising a children's area, there was nothing except a small patch of ground with a single goal post to play football, which wasn't suitable for our daughter at all.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re pleased to hear that you found the bed and sofa bed comfortable.

We are disappointed by the comments regarding the condition and facilities of the pod, particularly as none of the alleged issues with the TV, fridge, bedside lamp, bathroom door or electrics were reported to us at any point during your stay. Had we been made aware of any problems, we would of course have investigated them and done our best to resolve them immediately. We have also had no similar complaints from other guests.

The main issue raised with us during your stay was the temporary restriction on using coal BBQs and fire pits. This restriction was put in place for safety reasons and was not a decision made to inconvenience guests. We appreciate that this was frustrating for you, but we had to follow the restrictions in place.

We are also surprised by the comments regarding the children’s area, as we do not advertise the site as having a dedicated children’s playground. The facilities and outdoor space are shown in our advertising and booking information.

Regarding privacy, our pods are positioned within our site as shown in the photographs provided when booking. As with any glamping site, guests will naturally see other guests using the surrounding outdoor areas.

We take all genuine feedback seriously, but it is difficult to respond to claims of broken or inadequate facilities when these were never brought to our attention while you were here. We would always encourage guests to speak to us during their stay so that we have the opportunity to put things right.

We’re sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations, but we do feel it is important to provide some context to the points raised in your review.

A aimé Beautiful site, very peaceful. Only 4 pods so it's very quiet.
The pod is really comfortable and there is a big open space for kids to play out the front which is great.
Great base for exploring Bridlington and surrounding areas.
Sara the owner was really helpful and friendly too, before and during our stay.
Would highly recommend!

A aimé Very good location if you want to visit Bempton Cliffs. The place was quiet; the other guests were respectful and friendly. The pod was comfortable; it met the description of the website and was clean, the hosts were responsive.
We stayed there as a couple with a teenager and we felt comfortable in this pod. The bed and sofa are comfortable.
There was a ban on disposable BBQ but Co-op in town sells relatively cheap reusable bucket BBQ and small bags of coal that are self starters. We got one of these and kept it for the rest of our road trip.
In summary we had a really nice time in Bridlington and would consider coming back to this lovely place.

N'a pas aimé Only very minor things :
The bedside lamp didn't work but the owner was responsive when we mentioned it the next day. Might be worth ckecking before guests arrive.
A few hooks would be good to hang clothes.

A aimé Cosy pod well-equipped with everything you need for a short break. Lovely peaceful setting, comfy beds, great shower! Ideally located with Bridlington, Scarborough & Whitby all only short drives away. This was our third stay at Viking Garth and we will no doubt be back.
