Welcome to...

Woodland Lakes Lodges

These luxury lodges were brand new in 2009 and are ideal for those seeking a break away in a relaxed and picturesque environment. The park has a wonderful location just a short drive from the bustling market town of Thirsk and the historic city of York is also close by.

As the name would suggest the lodges have been designed around impressive and well stocked fishing lakes catering for all ages and abilities. The park also has a superb new contemporary bar and restaurant which also offers occasional weekend light entertainment. The food served in the restaurant is modern and fresh with local produce featuring strongly.

There is also plenty to see and do in the local area with cathedral cities of York and Ripon both within easy reach. If its a day on the coast you're looking for then the popular resorts of Scarborough and Whitby can be reached in just over an hour taking in some of the most breathtaking scenery and picture postcard villages en route.

The Yorkshire moors and dales can also be reached in under and hour and offer the perfect environment for enjoying outdoor pursuits. Watersports, climbing and gliding are available as well as the more traditional walking and cycling.

There are four types of lodge to choose from at Woodland Lakes. All were brand new in 2009 and are very well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The Chestnut Lodge is a good choice for a romantic break and has one bedroom and an outdoor hot tub. The Birch Lodge is larger and perfect for families sleeping up to 6. The lodge has two storeys making it very spacious and it also has a balcony where you can enjoy stunning views and a hot tub. The Poplar lodge is also two storey and very contemporary in design. It sleeps up to 4 people and has an outside furnished area with hot tub.

Where's Woodland Lakes Lodges?

Charlotte Thwates

Woodland Lakes Lodges are in a good place if you want to do some siteseeing in yorkshire. The park itself was really peaceful, no kids running around or noisy groups when we were there. seemed to be mostly couples or small families with babies. People there just to relax. The bar on the park serves the most amazing food and the service was good but not in your face. Our lodge had smashing views over the woods and was very modern with a better kitchen than i have at home.

Martin

Date of stay: 16th February 2018

We had a fantastic break at the woodlands. 2 Adults 2 kids (2 and 6) plus a puppy. The lodge was brilliant, with modern decor throughout, and the grounds are lovely. We walked our puppy numerous times of the day and she loved it also. The staff are really helpful. We asked for a bed to be removed to allow us to fit a travel cot in, which was removed instantly. We noticed that there wasn't a DVD player, so on our way our in the afternoon of the day we arrived I asked the reception and a DVD player was put in prior to our return. We ate at the Vale of York pub just up the road, and the food was brilliant and bar maid and locals were very friendly and dogs were allowed. We visited York one day, which took about 30 mins to the park and ride, which I must recommend. We visited Ripon market and Harrogate on another day. Overall we had a brilliant stay, and we will be looking to book again for the same time next year.

Diana, Shirebrook

Date of stay: 2nd February 2018

Great

Jayne, Wakefield

Date of stay: 31st January 2018

Could not check in until 4pm. It did say this on booking confirmation but I never read that part until I was rung by staff telling us for extra money we could check in at 2pm. How sneaky is that? If you cant go in until 4pm it makes it a short first stay day. We actually did pay the extra for this reason but I have never checked in as late anywhere ever as late as 4pm.

The Hot tub was warm but not hot until the 2nd day and there fore unusable in January. Again this was stated on the booking details when I read it thoroughly after the above incident. But as we had only booked 2 night we were really dissappointed.

The lodge its self was beautiful and well serviced and it is such a shame the 2 above mentioned issues blighted our stay.

Smith, Denton, Manchester

Date of stay: 29th January 2018

Mum and dad said it were lovely and clean and the hot tub was a treat to relax into!

Claire, Nottingham

Date of stay: 17th January 2018

Would definitely go again had a great break, lovely clean lodge hot tub was great just a short drive to Thirsk

Jodie, Newcastle

Date of stay: 17th January 2018

Lovely lodge with lake view scenery. Hot tub was a beautiful addition.

I feel that the check in is very late and check out very early. So our two day stay was not really two day. It felt like a day and a half. I did try to contact the out of hours number on one occasion and never got a response at all. It wasn't an emergency so never visited the resident lodge directly.

I would still recommend and stay again myself. I just feel that I would need to pay the early check in and late check out fees to feel I've actually gotten most of my two day stay.

Louise, Barnsley

Date of stay: 15th January 2018

Great extended weekend. Lodge was spacious and the photos did not do it justice.

Lee, Whitehaven

Date of stay: 10th January 2018

Bed was very firm which resulted in me having a bad back when leaving. This was the only problem as everything else was perfect.

Angie, Rotherham

Date of stay: 8th January 2018

This was the 4th time we stopped here , we havnt stopped in this lodge before it was lovely but tired , the shower doors were not put on properly so we put them on ourselves and the back door didnt lock. On the plus side the hot tub was lovely .

Fabulous holiday enjoyed by all

Paula, Doncaster

Date of stay: 1st September 2017

The waterside lodge was beautiful. This relaxing setting was the best therapy for me and my family. I took my mum, fiance, daughter, son and Gatsby the dog. We all loved it and found ourselves away from the stresses of every day life, in the beautiful countryside. I am normally a person who has to go on a plane to have a holiday but this has totally changed my thinking! Wow ........ who knew??

I hope we can come back again and I will be looking at other log cabin experiences, as this was a real log cabin.

Jonathan

Date of stay: 1st September 2017

The lodge was beautiful but did need a small amount of maintenance, this didn't effect our stay. Some settees were a little worn and one of the headboards broken this was reported but as I explained this didn't effect the holiday and we were happy to just report the little faults

Date of stay: 25th August 2017

As it was a VIP lodge and expensive, it wasn't 100% we've noticed a few problems since our first VIP lodge but to be fair the staff have been helpful and tried to remedy things apart from the towelling robes! The beds are comfortable, bedding sparkling clean as well as the towels. The Lakes and surroundings are beautiful, especially the courtyard of the restaurant, which has a well stocked pond with a little bridge going over, it really is lovely.

Jayne, Chesterfield

Date of stay: 18th August 2017

We had a lovely relaxing break. Accommodation as described and spotlessly clean. Bread and milk on arrival was a nice touch. Will probably book to come back for another break.

Lodge was clean and well kept. Had an enjoyable stay. Good value for money. Great hot tub.

Things to be improved:
Light out in the kitchen
Broken hob
Light out in extractor fan
Not clear that there was no oven
Would be better if Wi-Fi was available in the lodge, as no signal in the local area

Amanda, Hexham

Date of stay: 3rd July 2017

Again as I mentioned earlier, it was an excellent lodge to stay in. It was extremely comfortable, and homely. The facilities were very good and it was lovely to have had wildlife actually on your doorstep. It was definitely an excellent lodge to stay within.

There were a couple of things missing from the lodge since we were last there, a BBQ outside (we took meats) and in the kitchen a grill pan and short a peeling/paring knife, but we managed. It didn't detract from the holiday, but hence the 9/10

Paula, Cullen

Lodge was lovely and clean, no bathrobes in masterbedroom, no bedside lights in master either. Shower was terrible, flooded bathroom after every use. 1 leather settee in living room was tatty. Hot tub was clean but loads of hairs in it, not ours I might add.

Michelle, Whitley Bay

Date of stay: 27th May 2017

The fridge needs replacing in 11b ,as freezers freezes fridge food .and as self catering you need a good fridge.also cooker needs to have institutions as was very competitive. But the staff showded us how to use it and we figgered it out.but overall lodge was good clean and what you needed for your stay .

Fiona

Date of stay: 26th May 2017

The only downside was, no instructions on how to work the cooker/microwave was a bit baffled as the sun was shining straight through door onto cooker panel, other than that it was brill.

Sarah, Seaham

Date of stay: 26th May 2017

Lodge very clean inside and located over looking the lake! Perfect. Only down fall was the outside could have been cleaned down from time to time as around the windows, doors and spindles on the balcony had a lot of spiders and webs.

Paul, Huddersfield

Michael, Manchester

Can't really find any negatives as we had a great stay. No issues with the lodge whatsoever- jacuzzi also well maintained.

Looking Forward to our return.

Warren, Bacup Lancashire

Date of stay: 22nd May 2017

the value for money is based on the price we paid but maybe too expensive later on in the year
we had a great time and came back re-charged after the stress we have had before we came total relaxation from getting there to coming home.
can't wait to go back

Anthony, Tynemouth

Date of stay: 22nd May 2017

Great Weekend away with the family and our two dogs!

Lodge was immaculate, plenty of room for us all & a 5 minute drive into Thirsk.

The only negative was that the site was not very dog friendly. The decking area was not closed off by a gate so we were unable to let them out onto the decking when we were in the hot tub. There wasn't anywhere to let them have a run so we had to keep them on their leads all weekend. Also the restaurant was not dog friendly so we were unable to visit. We did ask at reception if there was a field where we could take the dogs and she suggested the farmers field next to the site but said her dog was bitten by a tick in the field so we didn't want to risk it!

A lovely lodge just wouldn't come back with our dogs.

Samantha, Heywood

Date of stay: 21st April 2017

We stayed in 20a chestnut lodge isnt a single cabin it as a locked door inbetween another cabin wall are quick thin but wasnt much of an issue. Hottub was nice and warm when we arrived which was nice. The cooker isnt easy to work couldnt figure it out but we eat out anyway. Also turn your fridge down as soon as you get there as everything with put in ours frozen.
There is a £50 deposit when you arrive but you get it back as soon as you hand keys back.

Clifford, Lancashire

Date of stay: 21st April 2017

The cabins are quite clean and as warm as you wish, the shower is brilliant for that quick invigorating morning wash and the 2 baths available for a longer relaxing soak.
The pull out sofa bed was faulty and not comfortable (No.14) but this is the only real fault that affected our stay.
Overall the cabins are very good.

Fab 4 day break booking again for end of year.

Julie, Cupar

Date of stay: 17th April 2017

A wood cladded caravan, double width with patio doors opening out onto a decking area that extended over an ornamental lake, with ducklings for company! Gorgeous!
A very well clean and smart caravan, well spaced away from other vans, and with close by parking. The hot tub was at the side and could be seen by passers by, but we took a gazebo for privacy, although we were at a remoter side of the lake so not many passers by to worry about, so probably not necessary, but it did keep the wind from the lake away on cold April mornings/evenings!

Michael, Glasgow

Cabin was beautiful everything there you need only thing that I noticed that wasn't already there was your sauces and cooking oils but nothing major

Helen, Durham

Date of stay: 6th March 2017

This was our 3rd visit and we've loved it every time. Very high standard lodges. The welcome pack is great too with milk, bread, cloths, dishwasher tablets etc. As well as the dressing gowns and slippers, you could literally just turn up with your swimming costume if you wanted! I love how it's a 'proper' kitchen with proper cooker etc. So that we can easily cook meals.

Surrounding area is gorgeous and peaceful.
We love the lodges on the lake. It's lovely sitting out on a night. Staff are always very nice and pleasent. I recommend this place to all of my friends and family.

Can't wait to go back!

Lodge was cleaned to a high standard andelivery was equipped with everything we needed for a short break. We didn't get the robes or welcome pack which was advertised, but didn't see this as a major concern, however if advertised it should be provided.

Paula, Leeds

Date of stay: 19th September 2016

Homely, well equipped I really can't fault the willow VIP at all.

Sophie, Jarrow

Date of stay: 16th September 2016

The only issue we had with the lodge itself was the spiders, which of course can't really be helped but being petrified of spiders it made it a little difficult leaving windows open.

Caroline, Wirral

Date of stay: 16th September 2016

Absolutly Spotless, I know they're supposed to be but on some sites it's not always 100% and I usually feel the need to clean something ( I'm a bit odd that way)
I loved that they had provided a loaf and a pint of milk, and the olive oil and condiments , I had indeed forgotten cooking oil and coffee. And the welcome pack of kitchen cleaning essentials, how thoughtful, I was well trained by mum to remember these things but not everyone does and as there is no shop as such in walking distance it is a very welcome gesture.
The towels were like hotel ones set out beautifully on the end of the bed ( with the snuggliest duvet, you are not going to get cold with this beast) the walk in wardrobe and, in our opinion, a huge bath room and an on suite in the double bedroom. Full size fridge freezer, masses of storage space and a double bed you could actually walk around.
We could pick up most but not all the TV channels but you're on holiday, you're not supposed to be watching TV all the time.
The hot tub was a new thing for us and we used it loads, it was fantastic, it comes with all the instructions and you can ring the office if you have a problem, they also check it every day as well. The visitors book on the table is a fun read as some people complained about the odd spider and the weather ! You are in the countryside, you get the odd spider and yes sometimes it rains, leave the spiders alone they don't go running around, honestly, we made friends with a few and I'm not keen on them, and if it rains.... get in the hot tub ; D the ducks are great entertainment, look out for Daisy with one leg. Couldn't fault it and would ask for the same lodge again. Well done you guys : D

Put gates on back of chesnut vip lodges as they are dog friendly and cannot let dog run ( had to on a lead constantly outside)

Chloe, Leicestershire

Date of stay: 2nd September 2016

Came here for 4 nights in August. It was a lovely place to go and stay. Everything was private for your surroundings in the cabin that we stayed in. Lovely surprise of bread, milk, tea etc. Location wise, lovely place nothing much around. About a 10 minute drive from Thirsk town center and Tesco. We went to the restaurant on the last night and the food was delicious. The only thing that let this place down is that there isn't a lot to do on sight. We would go back again for sure either as a couple or with friends. The value for money was exceptional.

Charlene, South Hetton

Date of stay: 2nd September 2016

Great log cabin, we upgraded to the alder 3 which was so much better and loads more room fantastic

June, Knaresborough

Date of stay: 2nd September 2016

We stayed in the new Alder VIP with a large verandah over a lake and all on one level which was great for my husband who was recovering from spinal surgery. It was excellent, well equipped and modern, beds were comfortable.

We were very lucky with the weather, but one of the downsides was no umbrella, although there was a hole for one in the bench, so at times it was too hot to sit outside for myself and my little great granddaughter. We went fishing 2 days and really enjoyed it.

Overall it was a lovely break and we would recommend it. We will definitely be going in the future. My family will want to come again too as they loved the hot tub!

Sarah, Cheshire

Date of stay: 29th August 2016

We have stayed here a few times now (previous owners too) and enjoy every time. Good location surrounded by lakes attracting the wildlife, close to pubs, a couple of restaurants, Tesco, Thirsk racecourse and the railway if you want to head into York (or surrounding areas)

A great place for an escape and relaxation.

A couple of teething problems to start (bulbs etc...) which were sorted straight away.

Cabin and hot tub was beautiful and being able to take our little dog was an added bonus.

Would definitely recommend for a peaceful, romantic break, that said there are cabins that cater for families now too.

The last time we visited we stayed in one of the log cabins with decking, it was not the one pictured on this review.
It was like a caravan but instead of tin it was made out of wood
It was very nice and had a hot tub too
It was located opposite one of the 13 lakes on the site
The lakes contain fish and you are able to fish there if you like
There are also ducks and geese which love to be fed and are friendly
All in all very nice place to relax and unwind

Walking into the lodge I was surprised at all the little extras that were left. Bath robes slippers, milk bread even a little bottle of olive oil, fantastic little touches that made a difference and when I saw the shower wow

Jennifer, Newcastle

Date of stay: 20th June 2016

Lovely stay! Would recommend and stay again, we actually come to stay off a friends recommendation.

Only issues were that maybe a bigger shop on site would be good, and out lodge was starting to show signs or wear and tear. We stayed in 3B Chestnut; the shower really needed updating, door was broken and radio/jet system etc. Not all the jets on our hot tub were working either. One of the dressing gowns we had also had a large hole in!

Site was beautiful, lodge was comfy and quiet, kitchen lovely and the bread and milk was a nice touch. Staff really helpful and we loved all the cats roaming about!

Oh, a net to clean the hot tub would be good as ours was covered by a lot of trees so there was a lot of leaves falling in all the time, after a few days it looked quite bad!

Victoria, Cheshire

Date of stay: 17th June 2016

Had a great time whilst there! Lovely location close to lots of attractions, cabin was lovely and loved the hot tub! Stayed 3 time before and had a lovely time on all occasions. However on arriving back home realised we had left a pair of expensive jeans behind, phoned up twice an staff not helpful just stated they were not in the lost property even though we know we left them behind, upset by lack of help! This has totally put us off coming back!

Vanessa, Gloucester

Date of stay: 13th June 2016

Lodge was like new, thought it was quite expensive for a weekend. Hot tub was clean and also like new. Lots of kitchen equipment and a large fridge/freezer. Shower didn't work on arrival but this was quickly fixed by the on site maintenance man.

Jennifer, Rotherham

The bed in the living area was very difficult to put up and not very comfortable .the fridge stopped working just after arrival

Kerry

Date of stay: 10th June 2016

There were a few fittings damaged- eg fridge freezer drawers cracked and a cracked sliding wardrobe mirror- this didn't bother us - we were just concerned that we may get blamed for the damage so we noted it and reported to the office immediately which the staff happily took on board .
Accomadation very comfortable -
Amazing place to stay... Can not wait to return.

Carol, Houghton Le Spring

Mattress in master bedroom not confortable. Had to avoid the springs.

Hot tub was amazing, shower was fantastic only issue was the number of stray cats which was sad to see as they were starving. Overall this didn't really ruin the trip but it could for other people.

Thomas, Derby

Date of stay: 3rd June 2016

Lodge was lovely and homely, facilities within the lodge are very good (oven is a little complicated to use) hot tub was great, there was a little bit of broken glass at side of tub but was hidden by the decking so may not have been seen by cleaners when checking. Would highly recommend woodland lakes lodges and the Chestnut VIP and will be returning in the future

There was no plug in the sink and the towel holder in the bathroom was broken,

when reported to reception was told they did not do plugs, and they would send

someone out to fix the towel holder, no one came.

Steven, Bedlington

Date of stay: 2nd May 2016

We were informed of certain damages to the property prior to our stay.
We were given a reasonable monetary discount due to the fact that the damages could not be repaired for our arrival.

Within minutes of stepping inside we noticed several more items damaged , missing and broken. Photographs were taken of the additional items and the evidence was presented to reception staff.
What should have been a nice quiet weekend was spoilt by 2 families further down the lake. They were having a late night noisy party and thought it was hilarious to openly urinate into the pond.

Very nice lodge. Plenty of room.

Chris, Leeds

Date of stay: 25th March 2016

The willow property was excellent and very comfortable. The site was nice and well kept. We really enjoyed having the hot tub (as the hot tubs as emptied before new guests arrived it was too cold to use the first night. We did not use the bar or restaurant.
Only criticism is the booking in on arrival. The earliest arrival time (unless you wish to pay extra to arrive early) is 4pm. This results in everyone arriving at this time and a massive queue developing. As there is only one person on reception booking in takes ages

Laura, Stockton On Tees

Date of stay: 21st March 2016

Lovely lodge which had all amenities, hot tub was an added luxury which we enjoyed

Katie, Sheffield

Date of stay: 21st March 2016

Great little get away, it's a shame that there isn't more to do on site or around the local area. Would be nice if hot tubs were fully enclosed as you could be seen by people passing by. Don't know if we would return to this site because of this, be nice to try somewhere new with possible entertainment. Overall it was clean and well presented.

The lodge was fantastic, with literally everything you needed, microwave, fridge/freezer etc. We had bathrobes and slippers for the hot tub left in our rooms which was great, and also bread, milk.

Next time I would choose accommodation with the built in roof over the hot tubs in case of rain. The hot tub was amazing and we made full use of it everyday - even though it was freezing outside.

I would recommend Woodland Lakes Lodges and cant wait to go back again.

Ann, Armadale

Date of stay: 23rd October 2015

The lodge was beautiful and lovely and clean. The hot tub was the perfect temperature for the week we were there and we made use of it at all times of the day.

Superb accommodation. Nice welcome packs, dressing gowns and slippers.

Belinda, Southport

Date of stay: 14th September 2015

Looked lovely when first walked it, I was very pleased, the twin beds were not very comfortable for my parents in law, but it was a caravan and as such, very typical. Everything needed was supplied in kitchen, and you can hire dressing gowns if you need th for the hot tub.

Rebecca, Doncaster

Date of stay: 14th September 2015

Lovely would do with the hot tub being enclosed more

Ian, Wrexham

Date of stay: 14th August 2015

The lodge was great in size but could benefit from a make over. The windows seems really dirty one the sun was shining but apart from that they were well equipped and suited us - Hot Tub was fantastic and maintained by the staff on a daily basis.

In summary a great location for that quiet and relaxing time..............carvery was also top notch but is a very busy local attraction so book early to avoid disappointment.

The cleaning could have been better as I had to get a brush and sweep the balcony but after saying that my husband told Trevor and he told the cleaners off and gave me a bottle of wine for my trouble .so he was very attentive to our complaint .

Josh, Newark

Date of stay: 7th August 2015

lots of little extras made the stay more comfortable. A perfect base for visiting north Yorkshire.

Sally, Watford

Date of stay: 3rd August 2015

The lodge was beautiful and and fantastic for our family, with ages ranging from 2 to 80. We were very comfortable and all our needs catered for.

Andrew, Middlesbrough

Date of stay: 31st July 2015

Lodges have everything you need, two baths upstairs and a shower downstairs. Bedrooms were large and the pull out sofa bed was comfy. The kitchen is well equipped and best till last the hot tub is a fantastic extra. Only downside is no phone signal or wifi but to some people that might be a bonus not my teenage daughter ;-)

Daniel, South Shields

Date of stay: 24th July 2015

Lovely little lodge!

Amanda, Worksop

Date of stay: 6th July 2015

Great weekend away in a beautiful location

Chris, Warrington

Date of stay: 29th June 2015

Very relaxing - great location - but be aware the bedroom windows don't open - luckily it was a pleasant but not overly hot week - but the following week was a scorcher and it would have been stifling in there.
Otherwise the lodge felt luxurious and the hot tub is a lovely way to relax.

Derek, Middlesbrough

Date of stay: 15th June 2015

Great weekend. Lodge and hot tub perfect. Lovely area. Helpful friendly staff. Would definitely return.

Zach, Newcastle

Date of stay: 24th April 2015

A lovely place to stay, very well furnished and comfortable. It would have been a 10 had it not been for the dog hair absolutely all over the floor. There should be some cabins in which dogs are not allowed for this reason.

Amanda, Saltburn

Date of stay: 24th April 2015

Loved every minute of it & didn't want to come home.

Jack, Newcastle

Date of stay: 24th April 2015

Lovely relaxing mid week break

Samantha, South Shields

Date of stay: 20th April 2015

Few bits and bobs inside that could be updated, broken kitchen utensils, arm of sofa well and truly done in, and missing game pieces! Not enough to ruin your holiday, but enough to notice! Could do with a little run over and update on some things!

Beverly, Sunderland

Date of stay: 20th April 2015

Superb relaxing stay for me and my fiance at woodland lakes. Staff were fab, helpful and friendly. Lodge was very homely with good facilities. Beds were clean and comfortable and the little extras were a nice touch, especially the cooking oil and wonderful fresh bread which we were given at check in. The hot tub was fabulous and serviced daily. We ate at the restaurant on the Sunday and opted for the car very which was very nice. We found the drinks to be reasonably priced in the restaurant too. All in all a we had a very relaxing time and are looking forward to our next stay.

Antony, Stoke-on-trent

Date of stay: 17th April 2015

The lodge, we stayed in, was adequately furnished, within easy access of the car park and quiet. The hot tub was private and well maintained and the kitchen equipment and cooking facilities were adequate for either snacks or larger meals.

Ewan, Perth

Date of stay: 13th April 2015

Clean and comfortable lodge

Philip, Stewartby

Date of stay: 10th April 2015

Excellent , not quite as spacious as other cabins but very clean and fresh. Everything you could need for a week away, if you like a bath instead of shower this particular cabin wouldn't be for you. Worked well for us as we enjoyed the hot tub. If you have little ones that don't like showers then this could be an issue I guess. Decking area very nice and good to see it gated to stop little ones going further a field.

Would definitely recommend

Jayne, Bradford

Date of stay: 6th April 2015

Loved it so much thinking of buying

Michelle, Sleaford, Lincolnshire

Date of stay: 3rd April 2015

Very impressed with the standards of the lodge ......only down side was the cost of WIFI......
Had to go to the cafe/restaurant for free Use.
In the Summer months I would imagine the resort to be even more amazing. April is still Winter weather but Spring flowers made the place feel and look wonderful.

K, Hartlepool

Date of stay: 3rd April 2015

Our families enjoyed our stay in lodges 23 and 24. Great value for money. Well located with Light Water Valley not too far away. Lodge was lovely and the hot tub was great.

We would definitely book again.

Hollie, Hull

COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE WHOLE OF OUR WEEK, we were there feb 2015. Relaxing and peaceful.

Peter, Wigan

Date of stay: 23rd February 2015

The Lodge was spotlessly clean and probably the best we have ever been in, rooms very large and kitchen well equipped. The Hot tub was a good size and was working all through our holiday. Beautiful view out of the large double-glazed windows over the pond with fountain, very peaceful and quiet.

Rachel, Ilkley

Date of stay: 20th February 2015

it was all just stunning , facilities amazing
only reason for a 9 is that the washing machine broke in lodge 14 and leaked all over the floor
mentioned this , but never got fixed

Trish, Derbyshire

Date of stay: 20th February 2015

Lodge was best we had stayed in. Furniture seemed new if not very clean. Two bedrooms and two bathroom always a bonus. Hot tub was lovely and all jets works which at previous parks was an issue. The shower broke which was fixed with out question prior to us returning.... Again excellent service.

Jemma

Date of stay: 20th February 2015

The only flaw was that the bed was very creeky and toilet seat was broken.

Denise, Kingston Upon Hull

the Lodge was a pleasant surprise.

Laura, Manchester

Date of stay: 9th February 2015

The lodge itself was brilliant, very clean and had everything you need including bath robes and slippers, towels, pots and pans and every complimentary oil and bread and milk on arrival. The hot tub being the best aspect, very clean and private.

Simone, Hartlepool

Date of stay: 9th February 2015

My villa was amazing! Perfect for a couple! I particularly loved the shower the way it had its own radio and different settings! Our villa was more on the outside of the resort top so I felt very comfortable in the hottub as we were well out the way.

Jennifer, Richmond

Date of stay: 2nd February 2015

Everything was Exerlent , but sofa was very slippy

Jordon, Leeds

Great little lodge with everything you need. Hot tub ready on arrival.

Leigh

Date of stay: 26th January 2015

The lodges are fantastic excellent standard and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only criticism is a shop on site would be handy.

Matthew

Date of stay: 26th January 2015

Excellent cabin, very well fitted with everything we could need and the hot tub was excellent and well maintained.

Patricia, Stockton

Date of stay: 26th January 2015

Jill, Hartlepool

Date of stay: 26th January 2015

Had a lovely time. Didn't use pub or restaurant as it closed too early. Wud definitely return. However we got a cheap deal and would not pay anymore for the weekend.

Adam, Scunthorpe

Date of stay: 26th January 2015

Fantasic lodge and cannot wait to come back.

Sam, Sheffield

Date of stay: 26th January 2015

No issues with cleanliness but our lodge did have a peculiar aroma!!
As mentioned in previous reviews sofa's sunk a little!! but bed very comfortable.
Nice touch being provided with fresh baked bread and milk on arrival.

Laura, Aberdeen

Date of stay: 23rd January 2015

We got upgraded from a chesnut lodge to a detached 2 bedroom lodge

Melissa, Manchester

Date of stay: 23rd January 2015

We were given the option to upgrade to a bigger lodge on our arrival at a reasonable cost. Upon inspection we found that with them, the hot tubs were not at all private and clearly visible to all other guests. The lodge we stayed in however had some fencing around the hot tub and had a lot more privacy!

Georgina

Date of stay: 16th January 2015

The only tiny downside was that in out particular lodge one of the taps was really stiff and the radio function on the shower had broken. But it was just something noticed, the rest of the lodge was so lovely it didn't really bother us at all.

James, Sheffield

Date of stay: 12th January 2015

The cabin was very homley & nice to curl up on the sofa while I could see my partner in our private hot tub!

Katie

Date of stay: 12th January 2015

Everything was great, the only issue with the lodge was that because of the wind it meant every day the fountain was blowing quite strongly towards us. Obviously not an issue while were inside but got annoying while in the not tub. I would defiantly come again but choose to stay in a different lodge.

Chloe

Date of stay: 9th January 2015

The lodge was spotless on arrival, absolutely beautiful setting. Hot tub was perfect. I can not explain how fantastic the lodge was and how relaxed the whole atmosphere is. My partner and I are already looking at when we can book again.

Pamela, Ellesmere Port Cheshire

Date of stay: 9th January 2015

We had booked into oxmoor lodge & had a few issues & were moved to chestnut have to say Karen & Jason were brilliant & customer service was excellent, everything was done to accommodate our needs

Ryan, County Durham

Date of stay: 9th January 2015

We will defiantly return and stay in the chestnut lodge vip again! It was very modern with plenty of space and it was very clean and tidy on our arrival.

Richard, Edinburgh

Date of stay: 9th January 2015

All very good, however the crockery was not clean and had to be re cleaned before use. The rest of the lodge was very clean and well maintained

Hayley, Durham

Date of stay: 19th December 2014

Fantastic and beautiful

Samantha, Kent

Date of stay: 8th December 2014

The only negative in this lodge is the high levels of noise heard by the neighbouring lodge, possibly due to the adjoining door between the two lodges.

Stephen, Seaham

Date of stay: 8th December 2014

great accommodation and always lovely and clean.

Tamzin, Brighton

Fab cottage !! great facilities!! Lovely staff!!

Natalie, Wigan

Date of stay: 1st December 2014

A little pricey but it was a lovely place to stay.
Disappointed that our lodge was very over looked - everyone walking to the car park/cafe/restaurant could see our decking area, no privacy for hot tub - would be better round the back.
Would have been nice to have car access - particularly for unloading and loading.
Not bath lovers so would recommend putting a shower upstairs.
We also had a lodge that allowed pets - took our dog and there needed to be a fenced off area so the dog did not have to be put on the lead every time he needed to toilet.

Stacey, Carlton Miniott

Date of stay: 1st December 2014

the only comment that I would make is the springs in the sofa had gone in one of the larger sofa so we all had to go on one sofa which was abit cramped apart from that it was perfect

Donna, Barnsley

Date of stay: 1st December 2014

Really nothing to complain about, helpful friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you. Availability of early & late check in/out & the owners Karen & Trevor were great!
