The owner, Rob, was extremely welcoming and had even lit the hot tub for our arrival. The lodge is thoughtfully laid out and the kitchen very well equipped. Comfy beds and sofas too! A great base for York, Beverley and trips to the North Yorks coast. We have already recommended to friends and weâd love to return. Highly recommended.
