The lodge was excellent and had everything we could have needed. It was immaculately clean and very well resourced. Located in a perfect area to explore North Yorkshire. Rob was very welcoming and had the hot tub ready for our arrival. We 100% recommend this lodge for a lovely stay. We will be recommending and back ourselves! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Me and my girlfriend have recently returned from Blackcap following a stay for our 1 year anniversary and we both found it absolutely faultless, one minor gripe that we both have/had is that oven gloves and tea towels could be provided for the kitchenette, this aside we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the pheasants, guinea fowl and other local wildlife poking about near the premises gave a lovely rural touch to a modern countryside retreat; both already looking to book again for next year
