Would I recommend Holly Tree Lodges? Yes, but with caveats.The location is amazing, feeling rural and quiet but being so close to York it felt like the best of both worlds.The lodge it's self was really nice and clean but starting to show a bit of wear and tear. The kitchen area could have a little more storage space for food, 1 shelf in a cupboard and the fridge really isn't enough. We managed by keeping our items on the work surface, not Ideal. However, the master bedroom achieved the infamous distinction of having the worst, most uncomfortable bed, we had ever slept in. The mattress was horrendous and the frame made a cacophony of squeaks and creaks every time you moved. Luckily we had decent weather on our visit but, again in the master bedroom, there was no option for ventilation other than having the patio doors open. This was something we were not very comfortable in doing while we slept. So, a combination of the worst bed ai have ever slept in ( I have slept on the floor in the past and been more comfortable) and the oppressive heat in the bedroom meant 3 nights of really poor sleep. We did not come away feeling rested as we had hoped.Also, of note, if you are travelling with children or others who were to use the second bedroom, there is no storage space apart from hooks on the wall. Didn't cause us as a couple problems but I imagine it could cause issues.Would I stay again? Possibly, but it definitely wouldn't be in the summer and I would have to really think twice if the convenient location and nice surroundings outweighed the horrendous sleeping experience we had.
