Great lodge and an ideal base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. We loved our stay and would definitely visit again.
Had everything you need for a great holiday newly refurbished bathrooms, hot tub and gas bbq what's not to like
Fabulous accommodation!! We would highly recommend a stay !! This is our 3rd time and are definitely going to go again
Perfect Peaceful Getaway We Didnt Want to Leave!We had the most amazing stay at Lille Lodge at Sun Hill Lodges just myself, my girlfriend, and our dog, and we all absolutely loved it.The lodge itself was spotless and beautifully done, with a real luxury feel. The four-poster bed was incredibly comfy, the wood-burning stove made it super cosy in the evenings, and the hot tub was a dream we spent every night out there under the stars. We also really appreciated the welcome hamper and all the little thoughtful touches like the Molton Brown toiletries and robes.Our dog settled in straight away and loved exploring the garden and watching the ducks on the pond. It felt really private and peaceful just what we were after. The firepit area on the little island was such a nice touch too.The sauna is a lovely extra (though its a bit of a squeeze for two!), and the kitchen had everything we needed for a few meals in. The whole place had a calm, romantic vibe that made it really hard to leave.We also loved how close it was to some great little towns and walks. We did a few short drives out to explore, but honestly, we couldve just stayed at the lodge the whole time and been perfectly happy.Would 100% recommend Lille Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing countryside break with luxury touches well definitely be back!
Needs new sofa and replace both arm chairsGreat location
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
As with all the lodges, this lodge was also brilliant. The outside space was incredible. The views, the privacy, the hot tub - absolutely brilliant.
Could Possibly do with new sofas in the living area. Not too comfortable.
Absolutely loved our stay! The lodge was stunning and super comfy, well be back again soon!
We booked this well before Covid hit, so the price was pretty decent. Honestly, we wouldnt pay the current rates now, especially since its only 3 days and 4 nights, Monday to Friday, with late check-in and early check-out. Still, it was okay at the time.
Really enjoyed it, would definitely go back!
Amazing stay perfect peaceful location
Really enjoyed our relaxing break
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.
Great quality and super clean. A sliding door and some kind of cover wouldve made it ideal.
Fabulous quality and cleanliness. A sliding door and a covering to the bathroom would have made.it perfect
Really happy with our stay! Only thing missing was an airer for clothes that can't go in the tumble dryer, but otherwise perfect.
We really enjoyed our stay overall. The lodge was well-maintained and comfortable, though we did notice a few small issues. There was no wardrobe in the bedroom, which was a bit of a pain and some outside lights werent working, so it was a bit dark at night. Also, having no roof over the hot tub meant we couldnt use it in the rain, which was a shame. We totally get that cleaning standards are important these days, but check-in at 5pm and check-out at 9am made the stay feel a bit shorter than the five days we paid for. Still, it was a nice break!
We loved the peaceful spot, the stunning views and the spacious, well-equipped lodge. The hot tub was a real highlight too!
We recently stayed at this charming rustic log cabin and honestly, it was just what we needed. The location is stunning, nestled in the countryside with breathtaking views and the privacy was surprisingly good despite neighbouring cabins. The welcome basket was a lovely touch after our long drive and the cosy atmosphere created by the heating and log burner made it feel like home instantly. The beds are massive and super comfy, perfect for relaxing after a day out. The hot tub was spot on-covered and with incredible scenery around, its hard to beat. The furnishings are tastefully done and the en-suite with toiletries was a nice extra. We did find the kitchen a bit dim in the evenings, but we managed with a bedside lamp. Staff were helpful when we needed, delivering a mop and hoover quickly. All in all, a fantastic spot to unwind and explore Yorkshire!
Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was lovely but we did feel a bit envious of the chiminea in others.
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 really enjoyed our stay here! The lodge was super comfy and having a smart TV with Netflix was a nice touch. The bed was cozy and although there aren't traditional wardrobes, the utility room had plenty of space for hanging clothes and shelves for storage. The washer/dryer came in handy after long walks - a real lifesaver!
Really enjoyed our stay
Super clean lovely lodge.
The lodge was really spacious and super comfy, perfect for relaxing weekends away. Beds were huge! The hot tub was spotless and really enjoyable. Everything inside was finished to a high standard, which made our stay really nice. Would definitely come back again. We loved it!
Absolutely amazing lodge. Clean and welcoming with easy check in and a basket of little extras waiting for our arrival. Would definitely recommend visiting.
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.
This was our 3rd stay at Sunhill Lodges, the lodges are beautiful, if you are looking for a relaxing time away then this is the perfect place, however there are still lots of lovely places to visit close by. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
Beautiful place lodge was gorgeous, only cpl faults dog hair on the sofas and a doggy smell when we arrived, the bed is a king with a super king matress on so slight over hang on one side, lodge was well equipped though and the hot tub amazing would recommend
Exceptional location in a beautiful part of the country. Panoramic views and hassle free stay.
Great lodge, excellent facilities, no issues at all.
Beautiful surroundings. Hot tub makes the difference
Been to sunhill four times. Lovely lodge, beautiful location and we will be going again.
Excellent lodge with lots of amenities. Great location for discovery the Yorkshire dales.
Another fantastic stay at sunhill, staff were really helpful whenever we needed them. Beautiful location and stunning lodge.
This was our 3rd visit to these luxurious, peaceful lodges with the most beautiful views. We can't wait to book a return visit for next year. We have holidayed in many lodges and these with the location are the best if you are wanting a relaxing break ??
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.
4th visit to Sunhill, excellent lodges. Only improvement would be more lodges with secure gardens.
