    It had all I was looking for and was very well situated. The owners were very helpful and the booklet was informative. I would recommend the property and would go back.

  • Christopher

    Helped by lovely weather too. Andrea, Howard and their son Sam were welcoming and very friendly. The lodge is conveniently situated between Harrogate and Skipton allowing easy access to numerous visitor centres and open countryside. Would stay there again.
