There are very good eating establishments nearby as well as the York Park and Ride facility. The following feedback is given with the intention of being helpful: - a welcome pack would have been appreciated, even just a pint of milk and some tea and coffee sachets. Rather surprising there was nothing. - the bed linen needs attention, there were stains on a pillow case and a bed sheet. - towels were provided but one had a hole in it. - the shower cubicle needed cleaning before we were prepared to use it. - overall more attention should be given to cleaning the Lodge, there were dust gatherings on some furniture and debris under the settee cushions. - the place suits a couple yet there are two single beds and no headboard. It would be far better with a double bed, headboard and new bed linen. - some thought might be given to the bedroom furniture as it is very dated pine furniture and cluttered. A wardrobe able to hang ladies dresses would be far better. - the outside patios would benefit from a jet wash and some weeding. Sorry, but great location but let down by attention to detail.

Comfortable beds and excellent Smart tv. Close to P&R for York and good road links for gardens such as Harlow Carr, Beningbrough Hall and Burnby Hall, Gardens & Museum. There's a Londis shop nearby in Acomb and a lovely cafe further on, called Tea on the Green.
