The lodge was fantastic - very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay and scrupulously clean. The log fire was well appreciated during our week (the temperature was in the minus figures for most of it!) and we loved using the hot tub and sauna. The grounds surrounding the lodge were also beautiful and it is a very quiet and scenic location. It is well within travelling distance to locations such as Ripon, Harrogate and Fountains Abbey. Only a few negatives. The bed in the lodge was too soft for us (although the hot tub helped with our sore backs!) The lodges are also located up a very steep road which can be quite daunting to drive up and down, particularly in the dark. Although we loved our time in the lodge, we did leave a day early as snow was predicted for the area and we didn't want to run the risk of needing to go up and down the steep road in the ice and snow. We would definitely return again but likely during warmer months and lighter nights.

Fabulous cabin in a cosy corner of beautiful Yorkshire. We didnt leave once had some well deserved R and R. The hot tub and sauna were an added bonus. The log fire was awesome we did take our own logs which seemed to burn easier than the ones there, but they had been in the garage for about 5 years so very dry. I could have sat and watched the wildlife eat from the feeders for hours and felt very contended, and I did put some of my own food out for them which was eaten in minutes as all the resident birds and squirrels got wind of it. Would definitely stay here again for the peace and quiet.
