Fir Tree Waterside Spa, a characterful lodge nestled on Woodland Lakes Holiday Park near Thirsk in Yorkshire, welcomes guests with its timber-clad exterior. Set within a peaceful waterside location, the lodge offers on-site parking and EV charging, making arrivals and departures refreshingly straightforward. Step inside and the open-plan living space immediately draws you in. The gentle crackle of the open fire sets the scene, while the sitting area invites you to settle in and enjoy a film or favourite series via the TV, complete with DVD options. Nearby, the kitchen hums with potential, its array of appliances ready for anything from a quick breakfast to a hearty evening meal.
The dining area, just a few steps away, is perfectly placed for shared moments and conversation. Three bedrooms await, one double and two twins, each thoughtfully arranged to offer a sense of retreat after a day exploring the market town of Thirsk or the surrounding countryside. Two bathrooms serve the lodge: one with a walk-in shower and bath, the other with an over-bath shower, both equipped with essentials including a hair dryer. Outside, the decking area offers a change of pace. Whether you're dipping into the hot tub or simply enjoying the fresh Yorkshire air from the outdoor furniture, it’s a space made for lingering.
The gentle ripple of water nearby adds a tranquil backdrop to your stay. Fir Tree Waterside Spa offers a memorable base for your next escape.
