Guests are very satisfied with the cleanliness of the lodge, often describing it as immaculate. There is a single mention of damp and mould, but this appears to be an isolated comment amidst overall positive feedback.
The lodge's location is frequently highlighted as a positive feature, with its proximity to York and Malton and the peaceful countryside setting. The remote aspect is appreciated by those seeking a quiet getaway, although one review mentioned it being colder than expected.
Comfort is well-regarded, with mentions of a warm, spacious lodge and comfortable bed. However, there is a suggestion for a larger duvet and a preference for a sofa over chairs, indicating room for improvement.
Facilities like the hot tub are a highlight, though there are mixed comments about Wi-Fi and central heating, and one issue with the hot tub that was resolved. The cooking supplies and other amenities are generally appreciated.
The host's thoughtfulness is consistently praised, with mentions of welcome hampers and treats. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, although common, cannot be guaranteed for every stay.

The host was brilliant, very welcoming and had some good tips on visiting York and the surrounding villages close to the accommodation. Will definitely be visiting again.

The wi-fi doesnât work but we got around that. The welcome basket was a special touch as were the other produce left on our doorstep x If I had to make a suggestion it would be a bigger duvet in order to make sure it covered feet etc. Bed was extremely comfortable unusual to find this host is brilliant. Hot tub relaxing and the chickens added to the environment really lovely
