The lodge is in a beautiful setting. It's a lovely rural retreat. Loved sitting on the deck in the morning and evening with a brew/wine and watching the family of rabbits and other wildlife. It's very tranquil.The lodge is so pretty and clean and comfy. We literally felt like we were in Canada or a ski village. Beds super cozy, loads of storage for clothes, big fluffy towels. Loads of stuff in the kitchen to cook with. Bathrooms are wet rooms so maybe bring flip flops but hot showers so all good.No noise from anywhere so lovely night's sleep.There isn't much right on your doorstep but you can easily get all you need in nearby villages or towns.Easily room for 3 cars on the drive and it's right next to the lodge.Uber from York back was £27 which was a bargain we thought.The owner was lovely and helpful and on hand if needed but otherwise you are left alone to enjoy the lodge.We also thought value for money especially in April.Would highly recommend to anyone.
