Large, clean, peaceful lodge.Highly recommend . It was lovely to have a separate lounge which we could close off whilst cooking in the kitchen/dining area.This lodge has a large decking area and the sauna is outside which was great.

We had a lovely 5 day break at Springwood lodges. A very scenic 20 minute journey north of Harrogate and then up a final steep hill to the lodges situated in a secluded hillside woodland. We were impressed from the start, lovely well built wooden lodge with a sauna and a hot tub. Just sit by any window, outside chair or the hot tub for a great view of an abundance of passing local wildlife. Great facilities, comfy bed, very clean, good size bathroom with a good shower. Also good strong WIFI. We loved it. I think we will be returning in the near future.
