Guests say
Box Tree Escapes in Lancaster offers a tranquil and picturesque setting for a relaxing holiday. Guests have praised the property for its beautiful accommodation, helpful owner, and excellent facilities, including a hot tub. While there have been some minor issues with maintenance and cleanliness, these were generally addressed promptly. The lodge is well-equipped and provides a cosy atmosphere for family gatherings and memorable stays.
Most guests found the lodge well-presented. However, one review mentioned a freshly laid stoned drive causing white staining inside, and another noted rubbish and debris on the site. No specific praise for cleanliness implies it meets expectations but is not exceptional.
The location is frequently described as great, with lovely views and a quiet setting. It's ideal for a relaxing holiday, although the distance from shops requires planning for supplies.
The lodge is generally considered cosy and relaxing, suitable for family gatherings. However, one review mentioned a lack of hanging space in one room and another had issues with a mattress, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities like the hot tub are highly appreciated, but some maintenance issues such as a door that wouldn't lock, a bath that wouldn't hold water, and a bedroom door with one handle have been reported.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, aside from being helpful and welcoming. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Lovely views across fields. Everyone enjoyed the Hot tub. You can order home deliveries which helps as no near shops.

We did not feel what was advertised was a true reflection of the site. We did not expect to have to tell the children to stay away from rubbish and the remains of old pods as there was broken plastic, large screws etc. We were also disappointed with the amount of problems we came across in the lodge which we spoke to owner about. We shouldn't have had to lock the door with a chair, have a bedroom door with 1 handle or not be able to have a bath because it didnât keep water in. We even had to turn a mattress over as the springs were poking through and that is to only list a few. So disappointing.

There were a couple of small problems but were sorted out immediately. I will definitely be recommending Box Tree Escapes. Thereâs only one little thing to note and that is the lack of hanging space for clothes in the room with bunk beds. The room isnât big enough for a wardrobe but maybe a hanging bar behind the door on the wall instead. Fantastic stay and we will be rebooking
