Otter Lodge is a well-presented and spacious property in the Yorkshire Dales, offering a touch of luxury and comfort.

While some minor issues were noted, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge generally receives praise for its cleanliness, though a few guests mentioned areas where cleaning seemed rushed or incomplete, such as the en-suite and presence of previous guests' items. The majority, however, found the lodge to be clean and inviting.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness and proximity to local amenities and attractions in the Dales. Some guests suggested better signage for easier identification of the property, but overall, the setting is appreciated for its tranquillity and natural beauty.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the lodge cosy. However, there are comments about the sofas being low and hard, and some guests experienced difficulty with the heating controls. The comfort of the living space is noted as an area for improvement.
The lodge is well-equipped with luxurious touches, though guests have mentioned a lack of Wi-Fi, smart TV, and some kitchen items. The maintenance response is prompt, but the presence of a strong odour in bathrooms and the need for better outdoor lighting are concerns.
While guests have mentioned a welcome pack, the contents were not consistently described, and there is no clear indication of gifts being a standard offering. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately assess thoughtfulness based on the available reviews.

We had a really comfortable 3 night stay. The lodge itself is clean, spacious and decorated to a high standard. It has everything you need as a base to explore the beautiful dales. We intend to come back next year.
