"We loved staying here! The place is super peaceful, far from the busy village and we enjoyed watching all the bird life from the deck. The accommodation was spotless and well equipped, which made everything easy. The hot tub was sparkling clean and ready to go when we arrived-such a nice touch. If were honest, the main bedroom could do with a king-size bed, but overall, it felt really private facing the lake. Great value for a weekend getaway in March!"

"From the moment we arrived, we were pretty impressed - the bedroom really does have that wow factor. We were a bit thrown off by the fridge situation, though. Its listed as a fridge freezer, but its actually just an under-counter fridge with a tiny freezer compartment. Not a big deal for a weekend, but we stayed for a week and had loads of frozen food in cool bags, so it was a bit inconvenient. Maybe the description should be clearer so folks dont get caught out. The windows in the kitchen and bedroom could do with a good clean - when the suns shining, you notice how grubby they are. A shelf in the shower would be a handy addition, too. As others mentioned, the TV is quite small, so upgrading that would be nice. More plug sockets would also make things easier. Despite these minor gripes, we really enjoyed ourselves - the hot tub was definitely the best weve ever used. Wed happily come back for another weekend away if we get the chance!"

"Absolutely loved it here"

"Overall, I think it's a decent product. The only tiny gripe is that I prefer softer pillows, so it took me some time to settle in comfortably. Nothing major, just personal preference really."

"Our Oakwood Lodges review: The place was super tidy and the beds were really comfy with loads of pillows. Everything in the kitchen was there, making it easy to cook. Wed stay again for sure!"

Emma Clarke - Jan 2025
"We had a really lovely time staying at Oakwood! Its a great spot to start the New Year, honestly. The lodge itself was cosy and surrounded by stunning nature - we loved the little robins that kept visiting us each morning. The hot tub was a real treat, especially in the snowy, crisp weather, didnt want to leave! We did have a minor electric trip because of the snow, but the staff kept us updated, which was appreciated. Overall, a chilled weekend, highly recommend!"

"We really enjoyed our stay; the lodge was spotless and very well kept. The bedrooms were immaculate, which made all the difference. Only thing wed suggest is upgrading the TVs to smart ones since the current ones felt a bit dated. Staff were super friendly and helpful when we broke a glass tumbler. Thanks to everyone who made our trip so lovely!"
James - Nov 2024
"The hot tub was massive, really enjoyed that! The bed was super comfy and the shower had a strong flow. A bigger TV wouldve been nice and the dishwasher didnt quite clean right, but overall, no complaints."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Oakwood Lodges again. The place is so welcoming and super comfy. One thing we noticed is that a bigger fridge freezer would make things a lot easier, especially for longer stays. The location is perfect if youre after some peace and quiet, though it does mean you need to do daily shopping since there arent many shops nearby. We did try ordering takeaways, but some were quite pricey and not really worth it, especially the Chinese place listed in the folder - honestly, we wouldnt bother again. Still, the lodge itself is lovely and wed definitely come back!"

Emma Carter - Apr 2024
"Absolutely loved this holiday to celebrate our 60th birthdays. Such a peaceful location surrounded wildlife, the House martins were a treat to watch. The lodge has everything you need in it to enjoy your stay. The site manager Gerry was really helpful especially in recommending places to eat out at. Easy to get to Selby & York. We will definitely return. TY"

"We had a great week, lodge was really good and had everything we needed. We all loved it, we had the hottest day ever though and needed fans for nighttime. Superb location for us we had two children with us so we’re out most days then back later in…hot tub was great for us as a family too."

Nicola - Jul 2022
"What an Amazing lodge, it's luxurious and relaxing. We stayed for a week and it was so chilled. The bedroom definitely has the wow factor. It was the comfiest bed I've ever slept on and the shower is amazing. We were there during the heat wave and temperatures got to 40°. We turned the hot tub down low and used it to cool off. The kitchen was well aquiped and had everything we needed. We headed into York one day and used the park and ride to get there. York was lovely. The only downfall of the whole break was the garden furniture. The chairs are uncomfortable and because they were metal got excruciatingly hot during the day that you couldn't sit on them. As it was so hot you wanted to be outside but unfortunately there was nowhere to relax. I'd have rated this 10/10 if the furniture had been a bit more comfortable and practical. If we went again we would take our own garden loungers."
