Tracy and Steve are so welcoming, the lodges are spotless, very comfortable, very generous plots and the little welcome gifts such a lovely thought. The lodges are well positioned to be close to the North Yorkshire Moors, Pickering, Helmsley and plenty of other places and attractions. We love staying there and will certainly book again.

Although only 10 minutes walk into Kirkbymoorside the lodge was really peaceful. The lodge had everything we needed, was really clean, a lovely welcome pack and Steve and Tracy were a great help and we really enjoyed chatting to them. Will definitely return.

It is is in fact a lodge with all the bits and pieces that you could want with good fittings and finish. Good car parking with easy access, fully equipped kitchen, good TV, most important first class wifi and easy to link to. Phone can be a bit iffy but in reality I never had a problem. Easy to get into and all on the level and walk in showers! so easy to use and not over bath which is a no no for many, like me. This is an oasis of calm, listen to the silence and become sight and sound sensitive to the environment and all it contains so much can be observed. The lodge is ideally situated for access to the Moors & walking trails, Coast and Wolds, and other tourist attractions. Pickering for shopping close by and local pubs with good food menus. Would have liked a socket with USB ports (I take my own), found bath towel a bit small, prefer bath sheets but this is what I am used to, and a lighter weight quilt but weather is fickle and who knows and perhaps TV in main bedroom. Minor items just my own thinking. Good owner being close by, always available and also attentive to the landscape and its development. This a superb lodge, no hesitation to stay at again, it has a calming ambience to recharge the worn out batteries we all get from time to time.
