DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY staying here. The place looks good on the outside but that’s where it ends. The house has not been cleaned in a long, long time. The floors left everyone’s feet black, the whole place was dusty and dirty. The showers don’t work as there is no water pressure. The ovens don’t work properly and barely heat up. The fridges on the other hand are warm and kept nothing cold. All the kitchen appliances were very old and tatty. The owner expects the guests to clean for the next guests so no wonder the place is in such a state of disrepair. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! *If only I could leave zero stars I would.

The older reviews for this property from a couple of years ago do not truly reflect what it is like now! Overall our group had a great stay here but I definitely would not return. Nothing seemed to work properly. The water pressure was terrible even when only one person was showering. The house boasts 3 ovens, however only one worked properly and was so dirty inside. The fridges were warm and not fit for purpose. Lots of other properties in this area to choose from, avoid at all costs. Oh and when you leave you are expected to empty all bins, bathroom, bedroom etc yourself and mop the floors and leave the place as clean as you found it. The oven was probably cleaner when we left it than it was when we arrived!

If you’re happy not to be able to wash then stay here. The water pressure is non existent- not being able to even flush the toilets wasn’t a pleasant experience. We may as well have gone camping in a farm. Due to the lack of water I don’t think the owners can mop the wooden floors leaving our poor kids socks and feet black! The fridges were also dirty and hardly kept our food cold, we had to throw out a lot of meat. There are 3 ovens, 1 of which worked to a ok standard. This was disappointing as our family had to eat in settings. The house is huge and spacious but due to the lack of cleanliness and working appliances I won’t be returning!

Dirty house, especially the fridges and dust everywhere. Owners told me they do not clean floors in between guests - absolutely disgusting. Water pressure is extremely poor which is terrible for large parties of people. Ovens don’t work well. You’re expected to clean before you leave but there’s no hoover 🤔 unprofessional owners who are poor communicators. Avoid at all costs

We are just back from a wonderful long weekend stay at Rascal Wood. We were a group of 4 families with parents and teenagers. Gordon and Jill were very responsive, friendly and helpful, with great advice on where to go and what to do. On the first night we used Just Eat to have an excellent curry delivered, no problems whatsoever. Second we made the short walk into the local village and had a hearty meal at The Olde Red Lion pub. They looked after us really well. Then on the third night we stayed in and all shared the cooking. The kitchen is very well equipped, with a modern dishwasher (bring tabs with you) 3 fridges and ovens with hobs. A big fancy toaster, microwave, 3 cafetieres and lots of utensils, pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, mugs and glasses. Huge dining room with plenty of space for up to 14 people. The kids enjoyed the games room, and the high speed internet. The adults made use of the generous selection of garden furniture to enjoy relaxing outside in the sunshine. Great water pressure, everyone appreciated the powerful showers in the various bathrooms available, better than we have at home! Big fluffy towels! We spent one day at Allethorpe Lakeland Park, just a 25 minute drive away. You need to book in advance. Loads of water-based activities for kids and grown ups. A large Cafe serving food and drinks meant we didn't need to use the picnic tables. Rascal Wood is in a very quiet location, set in beautiful rural scenery, but close enough to the local amenities and supermarket to be convenient for shopping trips and meals out.

Place was very dirty. Fridges were dirty, floor was dirty. Ovens didn't work. Water pressure non existent. The carpet runner up the stair was filthy. The place was very dusty. All bowls and plates were chipped and old. Avoid this place!

Brilliant house. Space? Space is a HUGE understatement. I've never been in a house that has such a varied amount of room. We stayed here for a week with 13 in the house. It almost felt like you were playing hide an seek through the 7days. The house was equipped with more than enough, dishwasher, sinks galore, utensils, fridges, work tops and cupboards. The reason I un-starred 1 star is because the cupboards, handles and teapots were very sticky, we had to clean a few things like trays, utensils and worktops the moment we entered the house. We brought 2 dogs, plenty of space in the gardens and other locations around the area perfect for dog walking. If you're looking to stay here and hope the city in on your doorstep, you're best off looking in Hull for a cottage. There is a nice little village down the way which supplies a nice bakery, a McColl's, Chinese and fish and chips. You're looking at a 20-30mins drive to a Aldi which you'll pass a BP, McDonald's and garden centre on your way. We went kayaking at Welton Waters. Great location. Despite the infestation of wasps through out the week everything went really well.
