Great Wood Lodges - Reviews

From the moment we walked through the door we knew we were going to love the lodges. You don’t want for anything in the lodges, very cosy & are immaculate. Don & Helen are wonderful hosts always on hand if you need anything. We will definitely return to enjoy the area further.

We had a lovely stay, very peaceful and just what we needed right now. Cheers!

Great place, will return

We had such a lovely week at the lodge! It was super comfy and had everything we needed, especially those thick, fluffy bath sheets - absolute luxury after a day out. The eco-friendly vibe from Lauren and Jake really resonated with us; theyve kept up the great ethos from the previous owners. Luckily, the weather was perfect, so we spent most evenings just soaking in nature, watching squirrels and ducks in their element. We also took trips to York, Aysgarth Falls, Whitby, Scarborough and Eden Camp - all worth a visit for sure. We grabbed some tasty meals at Thompsons Fish Restaurant, Tykes and The Ship Inn too. Lauren was so helpful, always checking in and open to suggestions. Weve been here twice now and already planning our next trip!

Beautiful surroundings, peaceful stay, would recommend!

We had an absolutely fantastic holiday! The accommodation was top-notch and really set the tone for a relaxing break. There's plenty to do nearby if youre feeling active, but honestly, the peaceful vibe of the site was just what we needed. Definitely a place to return to!

Really enjoyed our stay

We had such a lovely stay at Great Wood Lodges! The cabin was spotless, comfy and surprisingly roomy, with thoughtful touches like condiments, towels and even some jigsaws to pass the time. The couple running the site are genuinely friendly and always happy to help; when we asked about local chip shops, they directed us to Thompsons down the road, where we ended up having some of the best chips and fritters we've ever tasted. The lodges are nestled around a peaceful lake tucked inside a woodl and area, making it the perfect spot for total relaxation. Honestly, we could have spent ages just sitting on the veranda, soaking in the views and watching the birds and cheeky squirrels at the feeders. That said, the area has loads of great places to explore if you're feeling more active. We enjoyed wandering around the Shambles and visiting York Minster and driving across the stunning Yorkshire Moors to Whitby was a highlight. We didnt get to see everything we wanted, but that just means well need to come back! All in all, wed definitely recommend Great Wood Lodges for a chilled-out holiday in a beautiful setting-cant wait to return!

This place is perfect if you need a break from city chaos. We only stayed from Monday to Friday, but honestly, next time were planning to stay a full week - its just so relaxing!

Really enjoyed it, definitely planning to return.

Really enjoyed our stay, wish we had more time!

Great lodge and great surroundings

Wonder full ,peaceful place to rest and just enjoy the views.

amazing place for relaxing and chill out. Nice and friendly staff I would thoroughly recommend Great Wood Lodges

Very peaceful place, good fishing and a relaxing break

Excellent holiday lodges very quiet and away from it all

Great little oasis, very clean and comfortable lodges, a lot of care has gone into the small details. Wildlife on your doorstep. Only thing I would of preferred would be a little more distance between the lodge for privacy. But a great little site even so.

Will be booking again.

Peaceful, nature on doorstep, 10mins to nearest shop. brilliant hosts lodge was excellent ?

Very cosy, clean lodge set in beautiful surroundings. The wildlife is literally on the doorstep and the fishing was fantastic. We cannot recommend Great Wood highly enough.

Spotlessly clean cosy Lodge with lots of equipment for self catering. Beautiful, peaceful and tranquil hideaway perfect for a chilled break away. Owners friendly and laid back and the wildlife around is an amazing bonus. We will definitely be back! Just perfect, thank you.

Fabulous location. Lodge was very clean and comfortable with everything you need. The hosts were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Fishing was good. Wildlife was great and very enjoyable to watch. We enjoyed our four day stay so much, we have booked again for a week later in the year.

Very peaceful beautiful location . Great lodges ,clean , comfortable and well equipped. Friendly owners and good for walking , sightseeing, fishing or just chilling .

only thing i would change is put blinds on kitchen windows and same in bathrooms .

Lovely relaxing week, clean comfortable lodge, great for walking, really enjoyed all the wildlife and watching what the fishermen caught.
Close to towns and cities.
I plan to return sometime.

An absolutely lovely lodge in beautiful peaceful surroundings. The lodge was immaculate throughout with comfy beds and fully equipped kitchen. The lake and woods around was filled with wildlife and we spent ages watching the geese with their babies. Just rural enough for peace and quiet but close enough to shops and the centre of York.
