"?????????? Perfect Family Retreat Relaxing, Welcoming, and LuxuriousWe recently stayed at the Yorkshire Spa Retreat as a family group of 8 adults, a toddler, and 2 small dogs, and it was the perfect escape. We booked two lodges for a long weekend (FridayMonday): The Whiteswan (dog-friendly) and The Blacksmiths (non-dog option), both with private hot tubs.From the moment we arrived, we were so impressed. Both lodges were immaculately presented inside and out, beautifully furnished, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The thoughtful welcome hampers were generous, and the extra touches for the dogs bowls, beds, and even their own goodies were such a lovely surprise.After settling in, we headed to The Dome restaurant and bar, which is stunning inside and has a gorgeous beer garden. As it was a hot day, we made the most of sitting outdoors. A young blonde lady behind the bar greeted us warmly and looked after us brilliantly (I wish Id caught her name, as she was a delight). The 2-for-1 cocktails from 58pm on Friday night were a highlight delicious and very reasonably priced. We also ordered woodfired pizzas to take back to the lodge, which were perfect to enjoy on the terrace.The weekend had a great balance of relaxation and exploring. Saturday morning started with a dog walk and a run in the on-site paddock, which has an agility course the dogs loved it! We then spent the afternoon in the beautiful local village of Helmsley, which is well worth a visit. Sunday was reserved for a spa day on site, and it was absolutely blissful. Lounging by the pool with drinks delivered straight to us was such a treat. And of course, having private hot tubs at both lodges made every evening feel extra special.On a personal note, being just four weeks post-surgery for breast cancer, this retreat was exactly what I needed a chance to unwind, recharge, and enjoy precious time with our daughters, granddaughter, partners, and pooches.The Yorkshire Spa Retreat truly has something for everyone luxury, comfort, wonderful service, and thoughtful touches throughout. We cant recommend it highly enough and will definitely be returning."

"Our Yorkshire Spa Retreat review: Amazing, really comfy and has everything you would wish for."

"Perfect, don't think I can fault it all. Would definitely recommend this lodge"

"We had an amazing stay in one of the pet friendly lodges with hot tub. The lodge was spotless and well maintained with a welcome pack for guests and dogs!The site is very dog friendly with bowls and beds in the lodge and an enclosed paddock with dog bins and waste bags provided. The Spa is a hidden gem and so relaxing being nice and quiet and not over crowded. The on site dome bar and restaurant is a lovely setting for a drink and meal with good quality food, drink and service."

"Lodges are immaculate and have everything you need. Spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Quiet at night."

"Superb lodge - well appointed and equipped. We enjoyed our stay there"

"Superb location and facilities,would highly recommend a stay here."

"A beautiful lodge modern furnishings immaculately clean and even a barbecue the beds were really comfortable only problems being both showers were either scalding hot or ice cold"

"We stayed at this lodge recently and found it quite cosy, even if a bit smaller than our last place. It was spotless and warm when we arrived, which was lovely. Everything was working fine, though the shower heads could do with a descale or replacing-they sprayed in strange directions. The double bed was a bit lumpy, so a new mattress or topper might help. Overall, decent enough for a short stay!"

"Comfortable, friendly, great location"

"We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was spotless and beautifully decorated with a modern touch. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Only tiny issue was the shower - it was either scorching or freezing, never a nice warm temp. Still, wed come back!"

"We had a really great stay! The place was spotless, bright and felt spacious - everything we needed was there. Our partner loved the coffee machine, which was a nice touch. The hot tub and outdoor gear were top-notch. Only stayed two nights, so didnt get to try the BBQ or enjoy the neighbours lovely smells. Next time, well bring some burgers for sure!"

"Comfortable stay, would recommend"

"It's frustrating that despite using mats, marks still left on the oak furniture. A better quality polish might have sorted it out, but sadly, it didn't help much."
