Guests say
Thirsk Lodge in Ripon offers a peaceful and relaxing stay with its warm, comfortable lodges, well-equipped for guests. The surrounding area is praised for its good walks and nearby attractions, while the site itself is noted for its immaculate condition and quiet atmosphere. The hot tub and secure outdoor seating are popular features, although some guests mentioned minor maintenance issues and room for improvement in furniture comfort.
Most guests found the lodge clean and well-kept, with only a few reports of dog hair and unclean kitchen implements. The site is generally maintained to a high standard.
The lodge is appreciated for its good location within easy walking distance of the village, with plenty of walks and places to visit nearby. The peaceful setting is frequently mentioned.
Guests enjoyed the comfortable and warm lodges, though some found the furniture and beds a bit worn and uncomfortable. Suggestions for loungers on the decking were made for added comfort.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the hot tub and secure outdoor areas. However, there were several mentions of maintenance issues such as a slow shower drain, non-working extractor fan, and hot tub problems.
While the reviews reflect a thoughtful approach to guest needs, such as dog bowls and beds, there is no mention of gifts, so it cannot be confirmed if they are provided or not.

Just a few things to mention/ suggestions... (we were in chalet 15 for reference)Would be good to have a knife sharpener in the chalets, as the knives were very blunt (we suggest this to every airbnb/ holiday place we stay as nobody ever has them. There were a few kitchen implements that weren't clean when we arrived. The extractor fan in the ensuite didnt work, nor did the hot tap in the family bathroom. Also the towel rail in the family bathroom didnt seem to work/ be on.Last recommendation would be to perhaps have a few blankets available in the chalets. I was getting up in the night to breast feed our baby, and it would have been lovely to have a few cosy blankets to snuggle up in, especially in winter. Other than those few suggestions, it was wonderful!
