Yorkshire Spa Retreat Reviews

"Beautiful lodge and clean with a lovely comfy bed and brilliant facilities. Hot tub was amazing. Would highly recommend"
Kirsty - Apr 2024
"Beautiful lodge, really luxurious. Lots of space. The outdoor area with hot tub was fantastic. It was spotlessly clean and we felt like we were the first to stay in the lodge which was a pet free one Great appliances and good spec. Beds were lovely.The only negative is that the lodge looked straight out onto the park road, as it's a new site there aren't any trees or hedges to obscure the lodge, so anyone walking or driving past can see straight into lodge. It felt a bit like a goldfish bowl. Not sure whether some frosted glass over part might help with this. Staff were very friendly. We didn't use the spa or the dome so can't comment on those.Great spot for exploring beautiful North Yorkshire. We visited Castle Howard, York, York outlets and picturesque and foodie lovers Helmsley.Wouldn't hesitate to stay again."
Katy - Apr 2024
"Homely and spacious, more than enough for a family of 4. Had so much storage. Hot tub was big and powerfulOpen outdoor bbq and relaxing area. Would definitely recommend."
Victoria - Apr 2024
"A excellent well equipped lodge with beautiful decor and comfortable beds. The hot tub was a good temperature and very clean. The outdoor kitchen and BBQ area were very pleasant. Robes and slippers provided were a nice touch. The dog hamper and also the bag of local goodies were well received.. A bottle of fresh milk in the fridge on arrival was a god send. A dog bed and bowl were also provided. We would definitely book this lodge again."
Verified Guest - Apr 2024
"Lodge was v nice, good equipment and nicely laid out - built in wardrobe in master bedroom with en-suite on one side and ample cupboard on the other was good."
Christian - Apr 2024
"Very clean and kept temperature very well"
Joseph - Apr 2024
"Lovely relaxing stay in a VIP lodge. With Just a few quibbles which didn't ruin our stay but would make everything perfect if they were fixed. The washing machine wouldn't work, even after following the instructions. The dishwasher was filthy, so we had to opt for washing up by hand and the hall carpet was also stained. As the weather had been quite wet before our stay, the grass around the hot tub was quite muddy, so an improvement would be to extend the paving slightly around the tub, otherwise you have to stand on the wet grass to open and close the lid. Apart from these issues the lodge was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. The hamper and the little extras were a lovely touch."
Verified Guest - Apr 2024
"Had a 3 night break away at the spa retreat in one of the dog friendly lodges, what an amazing hidden gem. Absolutely everything was thought of, the lodges were stunning, modern and very well equipped. We loved the little touches like the hamper with local produce and even the dogs got their own little welcome pack. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing break away. It is situated close to Helmsley which is a cute little village with lots of nice walks around and close enough to the coast for a day out. We also used the spa which again was really good, modern and so relaxing with such a nice vibe, we will definitely be visiting again in the summer months. The dome restaurant is so cute, we enjoyed a breakfast one morning which was very tasty cooked by the friendly chef who greeted us everytime we went into the restaurant. Cocktails were great too! All the staff here are so chatty and friendly we just cannot recommend it enough."
Lucy - Mar 2024
"Lovely lodge, very comfortable and well equipped but quite small. Very clean."
Katie - Mar 2024
"Absolutely stunning Lodge with loads of lovely extras to make the stay extra special. Cannot think or anything that its missing. Attention to detail and practicality is very impressive."
Sarah - Mar 2024
"Just excellent. Very clean, spacious, all the facilities worked, cant fault it."
Nicole - Mar 2024

Michael - Mar 2024

"Excellent weekend break with lovely meals & beautiful lodge"
Nicola - Mar 2024
"A beautiful lodge. Not enough sofa space for 6 people but there are dining chairs you can use. It could do with some little tables to put drinks on. Apart from these minor wants, everything you needed was included, the welcome package was lovely and you would never have known that a pet had been in it."
Verified Guest - Mar 2024
"Loved it comfortable for 4 people"
Verified Guest - Mar 2024
"Lodge was perfect. Spacious. Everything was off very good quality. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. We all commented on how comfortable the beds and pillows were."
Pauline - Mar 2024
"Our party of six people only had seating for 5 in the living room. My bedroom didn't have any night time reading lights."
Verified Guest - Mar 2024
"Our lodge was perfectly located on the site, close to the spa and restaurant. The welcome pack for both humans and dogs was an excellent addition. Its always good to have washing up soap, sponges, cloths and hand soap in a lodge. Its the small things that can make a big difference!"
Claire - Feb 2024
"Excellent weekend staff brilliant and the service very good would definitely go again"
Glynn - Feb 2024
"The best lodge Ive stayed in and best for being dog friendly too. Cleanliness and amenities provided 10/10! Lovely welcome pack, easy check in, staff are all very friendly and accommodating. Dog wash facilities are great after using the enclosed field. Spa is amazing, visited on a stormy day and still enjoyable, restaurant also lovely and nice cocktails! Would 100% return. Only recommendation is to have more lighting around the lodge and park itself as it was too dark on early mornings and later nights and to have more of an enclosed/fenced off space around dog friendly lodges."
Verified Guest - Jan 2024
"We absolutely loved our stay. So cosy and cute. Great facilities and a really comfy bed! The spa was lovely and very clean. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. The ladies on reception were fabulous, couldnt do enough for us.We cant wait to stay again!"

"Lovely weekend break , spa is beautiful, restaurant is good , amazing Sunday lunch , lovely, helpful staff"
Verified Guest - Jan 2024
"The lodge was lovely and clean. Staff all very welcoming and helpful. Spa facilities onsite were good. We were lucky with weather as dry but I do wonder with access to all spa activities were outside in wet weather it would be rather difficult. Spa area could improve changing facilities with larger area and addition of an indoor pool would be fantastic. Also small shop for essentials on site as site quiet remote. Having said this I would return and we had a great weekend"
Verified Guest - Jan 2024
"Staff friendly and helpful"
Verified Guest - Jan 2024
"Limited time to use the facilities only get a couple of hours a day which is poor to say the huge price difference to have a hot tub lodge."
Natalie - Dec 2023
"We were disappointed by the size of the accommodation for the price we had paid.I didn't have the best night's sleep due to the size I felt a bit closed in so wasn't great for me personally.However the bonus was the amazing hot tub on the balcony area which was lovely. We did however only get to use this once as the next morning our pipes had frozen and we had no water.The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating and moved us to another lodge which was much bigger and better but didn't have a functioning hot tub which was disappointing as this was the main reason we had booked.Overall the staff were supportive and helpful and made the experience more bearable."

Attractions Near Yorkshire Spa Retreat

Here are some of the activities and experiences you can enjoy on your visit to Yorkshire Spa Retreat. If you discover a worthy inclusion to this list on your hot tub break, please let us know and we'll add it so that other visitors can enjoy it too.
Yorkshire Lavender - YO60 6PB
about 7 Miles
Yorkshire Lavender is an amazing award winning attraction offering breathtaking panoramic views of York, a Café, Plant Nursery and Lavender Gardens. The 60 acre site is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is an excellent choice for a day trip. The onsite shops sells Lavender products such as bath and body treats, skincare, medicine and herbal remedies.
Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 7 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
Castle Howard - YO60 7DA
about 9 Miles
Castle Howard is one of the regions most beautiful and historic landmarks and is located in 1,000 acres of parkland with breathtaking gardens to explore. As well as exploring the castle visitors can enjoy attractios including the unique Land Train - the best way to see the entire park. There is also a large lake offering boat trips during the summer months. In high season the site is very popular with families and offers organised activities for children including tours, talks, crafting and animal encounters. The site also has a Nature Trail which is fun for the whole family and an Adventure Playground where children can run off some energy.
Web Adventure Park - YO32 9JS
about 17 Miles
Come rain or shine children need to be entertained and Creepy Crawlies just north of York is the perfect place! This all weather attraction caters for toddlers and children up to 12 years old with a huge array of climbing equipment, ball pools, slides, chutes and adventure areas. Adults can relax and enjoy a coffee and a snack while the kids are having fun.  The site also has a large and rather impressive outdoor area with pet zone and pedal track with Go karts. There is also a pond with fish and a sensory zone where children can touch and feel new and interesting things.
Jorvik DIG - YO1 9RY
about 19 Miles
Dig is a unique and somewhat educational attraction in York offering children the opportunity to enjoy excavation, discovery, and digging. Within the site is a discovery centre, several pits filled with Roman and Medieval ruins and a science lab where children can take part in exciting experiments. Staff are on hand at all times to help the children and to ensure they get the most from the experience. The attraction can get busy during school holidays and pre booking is recommended.
Jorvik Viking Centre - YO1 9WT
about 20 Miles
Jorvik Viking Centre is a fun and educational attraction offering visitors the chance to learn all about the Viking-Age city of Jorvik. Thanks to the Archaeologists from York Archaeological Trust the amazing houses, workshops and backyards of the Viking-Age city of Jorvik are on display and give a clear insight to the way of life all those years ago.  The site aims to offer an interactive experience with the state of the art time capsule and the blacksmith's furnace being the top attractions.
The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 20 Miles
Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
York Maze - YO19 5LT
about 21 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge holiday in Yorkshire then a visit to York Maze is a must! This summertime attraction is now one of the most popular in the region offering fun for the whole family. The maze has been improved this year and is now bigger and better than ever before. Carved from an amazing 1.5 million growing maize plants it is thought to be the largest maze in the world! As well as the maze itself the site boasts an adventure playground, 9 hole crazy golf courses and an animal petting area where children can meet the cute and friendly animals that eat the maize and watch pig racing! Tractor and trailer rides around the maize are also available and are recommended for those with young children.
Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 21 Miles
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
Madhyamaka Meditation Centre - LL21 9NG
about 23 Miles
Madhyamaka Meditation Centre  a unique and very special centre in the Yorkshire moors offering amazing meditation experiences for experts and novices. The beautiful setting really ads to the experience and the gorgeous grounds are abundant with wildlife including Squirrels, Deer and Birds including Red Kites. The centre is now offering a special weekend retreat for families which includes family friendly guided meditations as well as fun activities such as face painting, games and a barbeque.
Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 23 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
Lightwater Valley - HG4 3HT
about 23 Miles
Situated in the Ripon area of North Yorkshire this popular theme park makes a fantastic day out for the whole family.  The more daring will love the big and thrilling rides such as Raptor Attack, The Ultimate and Trauma Tower.  For the little ones there are some excellent attractions such as Flying Camels, Dodgems and a Magic Wheel.  Toddlers will like the Dragon Boats and the Lightwater Express amongst other things. There are over 40 rides and attractions in total and we think this is excellent value for money too.  If you book your tickets in advance online you can save even more money and beat the queues.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 23 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ
about 23 Miles
This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too. Look out for special events including the Battle of Peasholm Park Naval Battle which has been described as a "must see".  You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.
Big Sheep - EX39 5AP
about 24 Miles
This is a recommended day out for families with young children visiting the Bedale area of Yorkshire.  Visit the farm and receive a warm welcome as well as a guided tour.  You will have the chance to bottle feed the lambs, bath a pig and handle some of the smaller animals.  Kids will love the big sandpit and the outdoor play area. There is also a cafe and indoor play area for when the weather is not on your side.
