"Outstanding lodge! The best bit was the outdoor space, it was amazing, best we've ever had; private, spacious and extremely tranquil. The lodges were so far apart that we almost felt as if we were the only people there, but thoroughly enjoyed sharing our space with the wildlife, most notably ducks and rabbits.The hot tub jets weren't the most powerful so we barely used them and just sat there enjoying the scenery.Everything you could possibly need was provided inside; lovely little touches like condiments, cooking oil, tea, coffee, sugar, and a tasty welcome pack with bread, milk, biscuits etc.The bed was super comfy. We had no problems with the WiFi. The only tiny disappointment was that the sofas weren't that comfortable and they were only two seater. Might be a bit of a squeeze if there were four of you.Other than that, highly recommend!!"

"Beautiful lodge in a relaxing setting.Excellent facilities inside and out of the lodge. Quality products used to furnish the lodge. Maybe the settee needs upgrading, however this is more cosmetic than comfort. Didnt see a soul. Perfect!!See you again next year."

"Stunning location, maybe not great in the snowy/icy weather months with the roads getting there!Lodge was amazing, little details such as bread and milk, butter and jams were a lovely touch along with full tea, coffe and sugar. Condiments were also a great touch.Lovely comfy beds and hot tub was nice. Jets were not very powerful and water was cold when we arrived.My only negative is that on the morning of departure you have to inform the office if you want to use the hot tub, because as stated in the guest book if the next guests have early check in you are not allowed to use it! I have paid until 10am which is check out so yes I will use it!Also although they say the tub is checked daily it wasnt checked on our second day. Minor issues that wouldnt stop us coming back"

"We really enjoyed our stay at this lodge! The privacy was fantastic and the views truly are stunning. The beds were super comfy and the hot tub was a lovely touch. A couple of tiny cleaning hiccups kept it from a full five stars and the furnishings could use a bit of updating. We also think adding a spotlight over the cooking area and an extra lamp for softer evening lighting would make it even better. Would definitely come back!"

"Great lodge, and would definitely stay in this one again. Loved the privacy this site affords you and the views were wonderful.Beds were very comfortable and hot tub was great.Couple of very small cleaning issues which was reason for 4 instead if 5 stars along with the furnishings.Could do with spotlight over the cooking area and maybe an extra lamp as we like ambient lighting in the evening rather than the main bright, overhead lights."

"We had such a lovely stay at Lillie Lodge over New Year! From the moment we arrived, it felt warm and inviting, with a cosy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The welcome basket was a nice touch - filled with some lovely treats - and having a pint of milk waiting in the fridge was much appreciated. The lodge itself is finished to a very high standard; its spotless and super comfortable. The bed was huge and incredibly comfy, perfect for a good nights sleep. The en suite bathroom is massive, with a walk-in shower, separate WC and even a sauna - what more could you want? We loved stepping out through the doors to our private hot tub, which is undercover, so we enjoyed it rain or shine. The view is stunning, with plenty of far-reaching scenery and the adorable duck pond right outside. Watching the resident ducks was a real highlight - theyre so friendly and we fed them most days. Inside, the lodge stayed warm, but we also used the log burner with plenty of logs supplied - very cosy! We saw racehorses almost daily, which was a lovely surprise. The staff are all very friendly and the lodge was well equipped - plenty of towels, robes, slippers and all the essentials for tea and coffee. The kitchen had everything we needed, even if the fridge was a bit small, it still fit everything comfortably. We loved it so much, weve already booked our return for next New Year!"

"Absolutely loved Lillie Lodge, we were there to celebrate New Year. On entertaining the lodge it was warm and cosy with the added bonus of a welcome basket filled with some lovely things and a pint of milk waiting in the fridge. Done to a very high spec, spotlessly clean, huge en suite with massive walk in shower, separate WC and sauna. Bed was amazingly comfortable and massive! Doors leading out to a very private hot tub which is undercover so can be used in all weathers which we did. Very warm in the lodge but for extra heat and coziness you have a log burner with ample logs. The view is fantastic very far reaching and of course you have the view of your very own duck pond with the resident ducks! These little guys made it for me, so entertaining and there to great you every time you return. Will quite happily eat out your hand and were well fed for the week!! Saw race horses most days which was a lovely treat and all the staff you bump into are very friendly. Plenty towels, bathrobes and slippers, tea, coffee and sugar and some salt and pepper. Kitchen well stocked with everything you need. Yes the fridge is small but wasn't a problem, still plenty room to fit everything in. Would recommend to anyone and we booked our return visit for next New Year before we left ??"

"We recently spent four nights at Lillie Lodge and honestly, it was pretty lovely. The place has everything we could possibly need and the views are just fantastic - lots of ducks and even a Black Swan came to say hello! Its a shame we couldnt light the log fire since it was a bit too warm, but we did spend a lot of time in the hot tub. The jets could be stronger, but we still loved it. Thanks a lot!"

Laura - Oct 2024
"We had a fantastic week here! The lodge was perfect, really comfy and spotlessly clean. The location is superb and we felt totally safe with all the Covid measures. Only downside was the limited wardrobe space, so we lived out of our suitcase. Would definitely come back!"

"Weve stayed at these lodges a few times now and honestly, we keep coming back because the location is just stunning. The William lodge was a bit worn in some spots - the cooker knob was burnt and the bathroom bin had a dent - plus, there was some dust under the bedroom furniture, which was a bit disappointing. But honestly, these are small details that dont ruin the stay. Its still a lovely place and were already looking forward to our next visit!"
Amelia Carter - May 2024
"We've stayed at this lodge twice now and honestly, its a lovely spot. The sauna and hot tub are real highlights, perfect for relaxing. As older folks, we definitely prefer a high-backed chair over the usual low-backed sofas and bucket chairs, which seem to be the modern trend but arent very comfy for us. Most lodges have a big Smeg fridge freezer, but the Lillie only has a small fridge with an ice box, which isnt ideal if you like to stock up on groceries. Since the Lillie is designed for two, it would be great if they replaced the seating with two high-backed leather chairs someday. Overall, Sun Hill Lodges is a fantastic place to stay, whether for a quick getaway or a longer break - we usually stay a week or two and really enjoy it!"

"We had a lovely stay at Melody and honestly, we couldnt find much to complain about. The TV wasnt great at first, but we found out the mast had been struck by lightning, so its understandable. The stable tour got cancelled, but that was out of their hands too. Staff were super helpful and kept us updated. Well be back!"

"Fantastic relaxing week in the Yorkshire Dales. The cabin was great and the views were stunning. If I lived closer to the Dales and if I was richer I’d go all the time."

"Fantastic location in beautiful surroundings. Lillie Lodge was great, with plenty of space for two, a fabulous bathroom including a sauna, a comfortable bed. The Welcome basket was a lovely thought including a bottle of wine also complimentary QUALITY toiletries and very much appreciated and also hot tub towels provided. Outside area with furniture and a fire pit and gas bbq which came in useful. We were there for hottest two days on record, we sat out at night watching the black swans, ducks/ducklings on the pond and young rabbits chasing each other and the beautiful horses in the field. Also the little wren that has got a nest in the roof of the lodge, a regular visitor to the garden. Only one negative for us was the size of the fridge freezer normal size fridge with small freezer compartment, but to some it may not be an issue. This really is a lovely lodge and would definitely return and recommend to family and friends. Thank you."
