Holly Tree Lodges

as previously regarding the bathroom letting the lodge down.

An excellent location for exploring the area with plenty to do. Very easy for York Centre and the Park and Ride is close by.

We had a lovely stay & will definitely be returning

Very nice clean lodges with everything you could need.

Loved the veranda looking over the lake , and being left tea coffee and milk was very nice.

This is our second stay at holly tree, this time we stayed in lodge 4.Positives first, lodge is lovely very clean, hot tub and sauna brilliant as good and as clean as you could hope for. The site is well looked after and am sorry I didnt get his name, but the maintenance/gardener/bird feeder man who came each day, does an amazing job, keeping the surrounds tidy and looked after.Negatives, not many and maybe being picky but just want to be honest. Lodge has two, two seater settees one of which is a recliner, both recliners where broke and furniture very tired, dinining table was a small round one. There is room for a bigger rectangle table which would be better. Very basic kitchen utensils, no bread knife and silly bits like that. Double mattress not the best, but two singles are good.Overall excellent place to stay but hope owners invest back in to the tired areas as it wont be long before people dont book again which would be a shame

Double bed not comfortable. Tray would be useful to carry items from kitchen.

Perfect week

Fantastic stay. Private and nice to be on the lake. Plenty space for parking and private gates to the site gives you peace of mind. Friendly warden that patrols the site on set times. Fantastic walk to the local village with Fish and Chip shop and also a brewery warehouse with bar and street food vendor.

Nice relaxing place

Fantastic holiday, lovely lodge and the added bonus of a hot tub.

The hot tub and sauna were really top-notch, definitely worth every penny. Stayed four nights, only wish it was longer!

Really enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect and relaxing.

We had a lovely stay! The lodge was spotless and well-equipped, with everything we could possibly need. Having supplies like milk, tea, coffee and sugar ready was really convenient. The covered veranda and hot tub were perfect for relaxing outdoors, especially with the sauna being a nice surprise. For four adults, it felt a bit cosy - maybe a bit more space would have been ideal, but for a couple or small family, its just right. The info folder was handy too, making everything straightforward during our stay. Overall, a really pleasant experience that wed happily repeat!

We really appreciated the wet room, especially since I cant walk and couldnt get to a raised shower tray. The external ramp was straightforward and inside there was plenty of space for my wheelchair. It made for a lovely, relaxing little break!

Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was super cosy and well-equipped. The hot tub being enclosed was a total game-changer!

The lodge was perfect lovely and warm everything you needed hot tub enclosed so even if it rained it didnt matter

We had a great stay at the lodge! It was spotless and the hot tub was all set when we arrived, though we were told it might take a bit to warm up. Loved that there were basics like tea, coffee, sugar and milk waiting for us - really thoughtful. The rooms felt super cosy and the blackout blinds made it easy to sleep in. Evenings were fun with the games provided and relaxing in the hot tub was the perfect way to wind down. The only thing was, drying the towels was a bit tricky, but overall, really enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was spotless, comfy and clearly looked after. The peaceful setting with lovely scenery made it even better. Its perfect if youre bringing dogs because there are lots of walking trails nearby. Plus, its not far from York city centre, so you can easily explore. The hot tub was a great bonus and the staff kept it in top shape. Wed definitely come back! Thanks a lot.

We had a really chilled weekend here and the lodge was spotless and cosy. The location is just perfect, surrounded by nice scenery - made the whole stay even better. The beds were super comfy, though a bit on the small side, but still fine for us. We loved that check-in was fuss-free with just key codes, no need to queue or wait around. Only thing was the shower, its a bit underpowered and took ages to rinse off, but overall, a lovely break!

We stayed in a lovely, spotless lodge that had everything we needed. Its clear they put effort into keeping it clean and well-stocked. As dog owners, we appreciated how there was no sign of previous furry guests. Only thing wed suggest is adding a secure area for dogs to run freely. Would definitely come back!

We found the living room furniture a bit lower than expected, but honestly, its more comfortable this way! Loved it.

We arrived at the lodge and it was spotless, which was great. There was so much equipment available and all the facilities worked perfectly. The hot tub was especially good for those with mobility issues. Overall, we loved it!

Really enjoyed our visit, will return!

We recently stayed here over the Easter break and honestly, it was a pretty lovely experience. Checking in was a breeze - we got an email two days beforeh and with all the details, including the key code for the lodge and instructions for the sauna and hot tub, plus an emergency contact if needed. The little booklet they provided with info on nearby pubs, takeaways, shops and bus stops was really helpful. The lodge itself was spotless and looked well cared for, which made us feel comfortable straight away. There are only a few lodges around, which keeps the whole place quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxing. We loved that its only about half an hour by bus to York, so its easy to visit the city without staying right in the hustle and bustle. The hot tub was definitely the highlight for us - it was perfect and we spent quite a bit of time unwinding in it. The sauna was a bonus too and we made good use of it. The towels were provided and having tea, coffee and sugar ready in the lodge was a nice touch. We did notice that after a few days, the hot tub started to look a bit grimy, which was a bit disappointing, but overall it was fine. The lodge had plenty of toilet paper and hand soap, so no issues there. We also had fun with the games - cards Against Humanity and a pub quiz, which kept us entertained. Only small thing - the knives in the kitchen could do with sharpening, as they were quite tough to cut with. All in all, we had a great stay and wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place. Were already thinking about coming back. If you dont drive, its still easy to get here thanks to good transport links. Also, the Derwent Arms just a 10-minute walk away is a cracking pub and dogs are welcome in the main area, which is handy if youre bringing your furry friend. We definitely enjoyed our time here and will be back soon!

We recently stayed for four nights and honestly, it was such a relaxing escape. The lodge was spot on - super comfy and peaceful. Loved the hot tub on the balcony! Plus, being near York and all the shopping spots was a bonus.

Very comfortable stay
