  Overall impression upon arrival was excellent ,secure gated entry into the park .

  Lodge looked lovely ,well presented with parking along side .upon entry we were reminded once again of the pets policy for our 4 legged friend ,pet friendly is an overstatement , pet tolerant would would be a better description.nothing was provided which we have been accustomed to at other places we have stayed ( dog bowl ,blanket ,dog treats etc ) ,I know we were advised to bring everything for our dog beforehand ,which we did ,but its the little touches which mean a lot . The pets policy also threatens that you would be leave the site if your dog was found seeing on the grass ,we had to exercise our little dog on the road outside the site ,which has no footpath , not ideal with the amount of farm traffic using this narrow road . we were also concerned upon arrival of a guy spraying weed killer on the grass and gravelled areas around the lodges , although he did say it was ''pet-friendly ''. The layout of the lodge was great , all on one level which was a bonus .the inclusion of a washing machine and tumble drier was a great help with the wet weather we experienced ,the dishwasher and the cafetiere were a big help also . plenty of crockery and adequate pots and pans were available ,the only comment I would make is there was only 3 large spoons for cereals ,soup etc . The sofas were nice but uncomfortable ,no back support and the zip -together king size bed was also uncomfortable ,luckily we were able to move to the much more comfortable double bed in the other bedroom . the overall cleanliness was okay but we discovered all sorts of hair and grit under the sofas and under the cushions ,which we hoovered ourselves. we did appreciate a change of bedding and towels after our first week in residence though , which was nice. The major gripe however was the lack of WIFI ,although it was not advertised as having this facility ,its something that we expected this day and age in a luxury accommodation ,its something the owners may wish to consider if the technology is available in the area. we went to the local pub in the village to use their free WIFI ,and enjoy a good pint ! Overall ,if you don't have a dog and don't mind the lack of WIFI ,this lodge is ideal for you ,plenty of space for 4 people ,and a nice outside seating area when the weather is fine .The village of Gargrave is nice ,a bit of a walk ,but everywhere is within walking distance ,it just depends how dedicated you are

  We recently spent an all too short weekend at Kub House, it was lovely!

  It had everything we needed and more, its in a very quiet and private area, totally separate from the owners house by quite a distance compared to other holiday cottages within owners grounds, you feel you have a high degree of privacy, it has its own totally separate drive and parking area which I think is undersold in the listing, Kub House doesn't really feel like its within the owners property as such. The bed is VERY comfy with great pillows, we both slept extremely well, which is unusual for us when we go away!, plus there's an excellent shower to wake up to. The kitchen area and facilities were all of high quality and everything you could need was there, including milk, coffee and biscuits etc, thank you again Karen. Very comprehensive and interesting information was provided, its well worth a read, they certainly covered all bases there!. The local farm shop and cafe was worth a visit, the breakfasts are awesome, don't snack before hand!. There has been negative feedback in the past re the boiler making noise on occasion, we were both apprehensive about this, but are happy to say it has been somewhat over exaggerated to say the least, the only reason we could rarely and barely notice it at all was because we went out of our way to try to hear it!, after that it wasn't noticed. Although the garden area isn't huge, it is lovely, beautifully kept, peaceful and again private. The attention to detail and quality of Kub House was very pleasing. Karen was always available by phone if needed, although we had no reason to contact her, Karen went out of her way to help us with an issue we had at the end of our stay that had nothing to do with the property, which was very much appreciated, thank you again. We usually don't do do reviews because there's often as many negatives as positives to report, on this occasion we both felt strongly that Kub House and Karen deserved a very strong thumbs up! C & R

  Overall we had a great week in the lodge.

  The lodge is furnished to a high standard and fully met the description. I would point out to the owner that they probably ought to check on the contractors carrying out the cleaning from time to time. I wasn’t going round inspecting but some things had been missed and probably for a while; light fitting above the breakfast bar were greasy and dusty and there was a pile of hair / dust which had been swept up but left in the passage. However the lodge was generally very clean and nothing major wrong. The lodge and area was very peaceful and provided a great base for our week in Gargrave. Lack of Wi-Fi was disappointing but I didn’t realise until after I booked. I realise this was not stated in the list of facilities so it was my oversight but maybe a warning to prospective visitors would be helpful. Again this wasn’t major but may be to others. All in all a lovely week in lovely accommodation.

  I spent the weekend at Wren Lodge with My Dad, Step Mum and cousin.

  We really enjoyed our stay the description was accurate. The lodges are situated in a beautiful settings the stream beside the park is lovely you can sit on the grass and watch the sunset. The only downside is the lack of Wi-Fi if o was to go for longer than 3 days I would probably want to watch more channels such as Netflix and other streaming services to have a movie and snack night also the second bedroom was made into a king size for us but we had one pillow each which were extremely thin compared to the main bedroom which had 2 pillows each and better quality so if you have neck problems or like to sleep higher take an extra pillow. There is on local shop the Co-op but there is a big Tesco and Morrisons in skipton so get everything you need for the duration of the time there. Other than that no complaints really enjoyed our stay.

  Lovely quiet site.

  Lodge was great . Sofas are not very comfortable as back cushions filling all thin. Not enough china in the lodge and dinner plates too small more like salad plates . No spare bowls for dips crisps etc . Could do with extra chopping boards, fruit bowl for fresh fruit and extra roasting tin to cook fish etc on . Saucepans quite scratched inside . Mugs very crazed and stained Cooking utensils plenty and knives good . Lots of glasses. Beds and pillows really nice . Towels good quality It would benefit from racks to dry clothes on that don't tumble dry or a small washing rotary line between lodges to save electricity and pegs We loved it and have booked 2 more visits Wi-Fi would make it perfect . In this day and age it is the norm to have it . ,
