Our group of 10 had a fantastic time at the Lodge. Everything we needed and more. There is a lovely pub with great food a few minutes drive away and easy access to park and ride into York if that's your bag. Or just chill out at the Lodge and enjoy the hot tub or the games room. Or read a book and enjoy the sun in the outdoor seating. We even have 21 goslings popping in to say hello every now and again.
