"A wonderful and wholesome stay. The lodge is in the perfect location to disconnect and recharge. We had planned a night out in Pocklington but chose to stay in so we could make the most of the space, and we’re so glad we did.We’ve visited many lodges before, but this one truly stands out. We rarely return to the same place twice, yet we would happily come back for another weekend."
"We enjoyed every moment from the log fire, to the star gazing in the hot tub and to the fun alpaca walk through the woodland. I would recommend anyone to visit this peaceful and relaxing place We are already talking about a return visit."
