Lovely cabin in a quiet location and a great base to explore by car that part of Yorkshire. Just note it is quite a remote location with Masham being the nearest place to eat or drink etc. If you want to get away from it all its perfect!

A lovely lodge in a fantastic rural setting. The 4 lodges on the site are positioned so your decking doesn't overlook another. The lodges are lovely and spacious. The living area has plenty of seating and a tv. The dining area has a good table & chairs/bench. The kitchen is modern and well equipt with a good electric cooker, microwave, electric hRead moreob and dishwasher. The bathrooms are both modern with heated towel rails and fantastic showers, particularly the drencher in the main bathroom! Bedrooms are standard with enough storage for a week or 2 of clothes. The lodges are situated in a perfect location for visiting north Yorkshire. All in all a lovely holiday! Hide

The cabin was in a brilliant location, super quiet yet only a short car journey to Ripon or Masham and other local attractions. We loved the druids temple and hackfall woods.

We found the lodge to be very pleasant. It had everything we needed and was warm and comfortable. A real home from home. In fact, we have already booked for next year.

Thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend here. Very secluded and only 4 lodges on site surrounded by trees. Idyllic. The lodge itself was lovely. Fairly basic but comfortable and clean. Location was perfect for visiting Masham, Ripon, Richmond and other surrounding areas. I would recommend the local Ice Cream Parlour and Druids Temple. We definitely pRead morelan on staying again!
