"We stayed at Skovarel and honestly, its a lovely spot. The cabins beautifully tucked in the site and the private sauna along with the sunken hot tub made it extra special. Everything we needed was there, plus a nice touch with wine and shortbread when we arrived. The bedroom was a good size, the kitchen well-stocked and the place was spotless. Really enjoyed our stay!"
"Our stay at Springwood was just lovely. The lodge offered perfect privacy and a calming vibe - we really appreciated that. The hot tub was a highlight and the wood burner made it even cosier. Only tiny gripe: a walk-in shower wouldve been better for us. The surrounding area had plenty to explore too, so all in all, a great getaway!"
"We loved the lodge! The private jacuzzi and sauna inside were fantastic and having a TV and DVD/CD player was handy. Just dont forget your Bluetooth speaker for music. Very peaceful spot!"
"Great experience, will definitely return!"
"Our Springwood Lodges review: We had a fantastic time at the lodge. Its so peaceful, yet within easy reach of lovely walks and attractions. Perfect for relaxing or exploring. Definitely recommend it for a cosy getaway or adventure base!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, will definitely return soon!"
"We had such a lovely stay at this lodge! The private hot tub and sauna were fab and the cosy log burner inside made it super welcoming. Watching the wildlife right outside on the decking - squirrels, birds, rabbits, even a hedgehog - was a real highlight. The double bath and massive 4-poster bed made everything feel even more special. Honestly, its a fantastic place for any occasion and wed definitely recommend it to others. Wed go back in a heartbeat!"
"We recently stayed at Springwood for the second time and had a lovely experience overall. The lodge was spotless and equipped perfectly, with all COVID precautions in place. The only slight downside was the outdoor decking area, which hasnt been maintained quite to the same standard as before - just needs a bit of TLC. Grounds looked a bit overgrown, but still a great spot. Well definitely return, maybe try a different lodge next time!"
"Great vibe, lovely staff and always a warm welcome every visit."
"Can't wait to visit again soon!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, definitely coming back soon!"
"Overall, we had a decent stay, but a few small things could make a big difference. Itd be great to have more plastic glasses for the hot tub that aren't wine glasses, as not everyone drinks wine. Also, some dinner plates that st and upright in the dishwasher would help save time, especially on holiday! More highball and tumbler glasses would be handy too, so we dont have to run the dishwasher half-empty. Itd be nice if outside towels and robes were supplied and a quick update to the info book about the key procedures would prevent confusion. Little touches like these would really improve the experience!"
"Weve stayed here a few times now and the attention to detail really makes it worth it."
"Great location, easy to stroll to shops and pubs. Lodges really are top-notch, felt very special!"

"Our 4th stay at this lodge. If the 2 of you want to kickback and relax in a peaceful location, you can't go wrong here."
"Lovely setting and near to some of Yorkshire greatest places to visit such as knaresborough Nidderdale. Only issue we had was positioning of the hot tub near a low edge of the cabin roof which nearly knocked hubby out. Not much room around it."
"Another lovely week at Springwood ideal lodges for a relaxing time. Great to watch all the acrobatic squirrels and various species of our Birdlife on the feeders. It's our third time in Lilleskov Lodge and unable to fault it."
"Nice secluded location. This lodge is brilliant with hot tub on the lower deck area making it totally private. Parts of the cabin could do with renewing such as the bathroom which is looking tired although it and the whole cabin was spotlessly clean. Would absolutely stay in grondal lodge again."
"We had an amazing stay here. We booked fairly last minute so we were unsure what to expect. The lodge was beautifully presented and well equipped. It is nestled in woodland and seems so private. The hot tub was perfect. So relaxing. We spent out days exploring the surrounding areas on foot. The local footpaths can be picked up really close to the lodge, so we found there was no need to drive to expererience some stunning views. We will definitely return!"
"Lodge is wonderfully located in private surroundings and very peaceful. We love Springwood lodges and have used 3 of the different lodges, with all of them being very well equipped and furnished well. We love the quiet and peaceful location. We would definitely recommend."
"It a lovely location, nice and quiet and plenty of wildlife to keep you occupied."
"Stunning location. Peaceful and relaxing just what we needed would recommend to anyone and will be visiting again the loge was amazing"
"Beautiful setting ,very private and quiet
Great spot to get out and about to the local attractions
Cabin was pleasant,well equipped
Hot tub and sauna were a very welcome treat
Just two areas could be improved;
Extra towels or robes for use with the sauna/hot tub
The hall and the bedroom of the cabin smelt very fusty,so had to leave the windows open the whole time we were in ."
"Lovey area, not far off the beaten path!
But very private and very quiet.
Would go again."
