45 reviews from guests who stayed at Paradise Lakeside Lodges
Great value for money and staff very helpful and responded to all my queries and questions quickly. ????
Good sized lodge, quiet surroundings, only 15 Minutes from York Maze which is definitely worth the visit and 30 minutes from York although would suggest the use of the park and ride which is 15 minutes away
We recently stayed at this lovely spot and honestly, it was just what we needed. The peaceful vibe really helped us unwind. Our first time in a paradise pod and it didnt disappoint-super comfy and warm with the heaters. The fishing lakes were a bonus and we spent ages feeding the ducks every day, which was a real highlight. The location, surrounded by water and forest, meant we did get bitten by some flies, so a bit of fly spray is worth bringing along, but its no biggie. We even lost the husb and for five days of our week but managed to relax anyway. The staff were so friendly and helpful, we cant wait to come back next year!
Amazing place to stay!
Really enjoyed our stay
Great spot to chill out and recharge
There isnt anything onsite to do unless you like fishing but plenty of pubs etc a short drive away
We had a pretty decent weekend at the lodges. The hot tub was just what we needed for some relaxation. Getting food without a car was tricky unless you brought your own supplies, which was a bit annoying. The internet was terrible-didnt work at all during our stay-and signal was almost non-existent. Still, overall, it was a good break and wed recommend it!
We had a lovely stay at the lodge! It was super cosy and spotless, with everything we needed already there. The hot tub was a real highlight - clean and nice and warm when we arrived. Parking right outside was handy too. Definitely recommend!
Lovely spot, would recommend
We really enjoyed our stay, especially the stunning views and the hot tub. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
The bed was super comfy and the TV had a solid signal, making it a relaxing stay overall.
The sofas could really do with some cushions to make things cozier. Also, bringing towels and hand wash would be a massive help-had to brave Storm Darrah just to grab these essentials. Bit of a pain!
Needs updating a lot
Really happy with the experience, definitely returning soon!
Really enjoyed our stay, lovely spot and friendly team.
We found the place really peaceful and the views were lovely, perfect for relaxing. The lodge was comfy and well-equipped, which was great. Sadly, the fishing was a bit of a letdown since we only caught a few fish and had to pay to fish. Plus, check-in at 4pm and check-out at 9am meant we lost valuable fishing time, especially on a fishing holiday. There were no amenities like a pub or restaurant on-site, so we had to travel for food and drinks. Still, overall, a nice spot to unwind, just a bit frustrating about the fishing hours.
The stay was lovely, especially with the kids. Our pods were right next to each other, just as we asked, which was great. Luckily, we managed to visit just before the second lockdown hit-phew!
Venue its self was peaceful and relaxing with lovely views. Fishing was poor and had to pay to fish , with very little fish being caught . Check in time was 4pm so missed out on a days fishing and check out time was 9am so again missed out on a days fishing . Lodge was good and comfortable with all cooking utensils in good order . Was disappointed that we could only fish 3 days having booked a fishing holiday. No amenities on site ie pub /restaurant so had to travel for these .
We had such a lovely day here! The scenery was stunning and the staff made us feel really welcome. Feeding the ducks was a proper highlight. Definitely recommend it, thanks a lot!
Great vibe and super chill atmosphere.
We decided to surprise our little one with a last-minute trip to Paradise for his birthday, since hes been dreaming of an adventure. Booking was super straightforward, which was a relief! When we arrived, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel really welcome. The pod itself was spot on-had all the essentials and truly felt like an adventure. We especially appreciated the little touches, like the welcome pack packed with useful info. The site isnt overcrowded, which we loved; its clear the owners want visitors to enjoy a peaceful, nature-filled escape. Were already talking about coming back next year. Thanks for a lovely experience!
We spent three nights in a lovely little paradise pod. Very relaxing stay, friendly staff, definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
We had an amazing time! The park was beautifully kept and super welcoming.
We had a lovely stay at Paradise Lakes in York. The lodges are super comfy, warm and really well equipped. The whole site is kept spotless and we loved the peaceful vibe with plenty of birds around, plus a friendly hen that stuck close! Its a proper family-run place, very welcoming and warm-hearted. Definitely recommend!
Absolutely loved our stay! The pod was spotless and had every little thing we could possibly need. Would definitely return!
We really enjoyed our stay! The Pods were spotless and had all the essentials. It was warm, comfy and just the right size for us and our little one-year-old. Having our own bathroom was a big bonus too. Definitely recommend!
We had a lovely time staying here! The setting is so peaceful and scenic, with the lake just a few steps from the door - perfect for fishing. The wildlife, especially the birds and ducks, made it even more special. The hut was spotless and well-equipped for our short stay. Definitely coming back!
We had a really great four-night stay and honestly, it was fantastic value for money. The bed was way more comfortable than ours at home, which was such a bonus! The lodge was spotless and well-maintained, with everything we needed - though I guess a dishwasher wouldve been handy, but its not a big deal for just two of us. The furniture was nice, but the leather sofa could use a bit of a refresh, even though it was still comfy.
Really enjoyed the vibe and staff.
Amazing place so quiet staff really helpfull can t wait to go again soon
Was very surprised by the pod. Small but perfectly formed! Had everything you could need. Have stayed in the lodges before but the pods seemed to be more chilled and peaceful which is exactly what we needed after a pretty rough year.
Had a lovely time. The pod was pristine when we arrived. The grounds were lovely and peaceful. Being in the middle of nowhere there was a drive to get to places but that wasn't a problem, the tranquility was exactly what we were looking for. Will definitely be recommending to others.
My son and mate thought it was great the fishing was fab can't wait to go again
Great holiday and fishing
Excellent value for money. Quiet, secluded and beautiful setting.
Great stay will be back
Good location, clean and very friendly place.
Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault the accommodation or location as very central to our needs.
Beautiful surroundings, very well designed pod in terms of utilising a small space as well as you can. Best pod we’ve been to and staff on arrival were outstanding. Definitely would visit again ???
Absolutely beautiful place, fantastic pod & wonderful helpful staff especially Ralph! Will be visiting again, highly recommended
We booked up for the paradise pod the week before the summer holidays kicked off for most people, which made it exceptionally priced! The only issues we experienced were completely out of their control - the complete insufferable heatwave of 40°. The last two days we spent in the pod were amazing, lovely and cool and made it possible to fully relax. However, the beginning two days, the heat made it insufferable, the extreme heat made it difficult to sit in the pod as it felt like a sauna, and it was difficult to sit out due to the humidity and copious flies. We chose to use the pod as a base and spent a day in Bridlington (much cooler weather) and in York centre. Paradise pods would have been the best holiday we had ever had if it wasn’t for the heatwave which made our young daughter very ill. Be prepared to live out of a suitcase as the pods are very compact - however, if you are bit bothered about space then they are ideal. We will be booking up for next year, and hopefully missing any heatwave!
Lovely little lodge in the country side nothing on site have to travel out in car, clean on arrival staff welcoming and explained everything only disadvantage was that we could not lock the doors as they were broken.
Lovely 4 day stay with the kids. Great location and super peaceful, well run park with helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.
If you want a proper break from the chaos this is perfect. Absolutely perfect for couples to just chill out and unwind. My husband and I felt so relaxed and chilled. It’s all lovely and clean and we organised. Just slide your cases under the bed and relax . The ducks were absolutely adorable. We loved it
