?????????? Perfect Family Retreat Relaxing, Welcoming, and LuxuriousWe recently stayed at the Yorkshire Spa Retreat as a family group of 8 adults, a toddler, and 2 small dogs, and it was the perfect escape. We booked two lodges for a long weekend (FridayMonday): The Whiteswan (dog-friendly) and The Blacksmiths (non-dog option), both with private hot tubs.From the moment we arrived, we were so impressed. Both lodges were immaculately presented inside and out, beautifully furnished, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The thoughtful welcome hampers were generous, and the extra touches for the dogs bowls, beds, and even their own goodies were such a lovely surprise.After settling in, we headed to The Dome restaurant and bar, which is stunning inside and has a gorgeous beer garden. As it was a hot day, we made the most of sitting outdoors. A young blonde lady behind the bar greeted us warmly and looked after us brilliantly (I wish Id caught her name, as she was a delight). The 2-for-1 cocktails from 58pm on Friday night were a highlight delicious and very reasonably priced. We also ordered woodfired pizzas to take back to the lodge, which were perfect to enjoy on the terrace.The weekend had a great balance of relaxation and exploring. Saturday morning started with a dog walk and a run in the on-site paddock, which has an agility course the dogs loved it! We then spent the afternoon in the beautiful local village of Helmsley, which is well worth a visit. Sunday was reserved for a spa day on site, and it was absolutely blissful. Lounging by the pool with drinks delivered straight to us was such a treat. And of course, having private hot tubs at both lodges made every evening feel extra special.On a personal note, being just four weeks post-surgery for breast cancer, this retreat was exactly what I needed a chance to unwind, recharge, and enjoy precious time with our daughters, granddaughter, partners, and pooches.The Yorkshire Spa Retreat truly has something for everyone luxury, comfort, wonderful service, and thoughtful touches throughout. We cant recommend it highly enough and will definitely be returning.
