Booked a quick couple of nights away in this perfect, friendly lodge, everything you need has been covered(even down to the ice cubes in the freezer, great little touch👍) great base for walks nearby but only one village pub for socialising, so hop on bus into Woolsingham couple of pubs.....and recommend the club👍👍👍(just ask Emma and Lee the host's 🍻👍) very helpful host's not bothering you but there to help with any problems 👍 100% recommend this perfect little lodge if like us your a lover of the Dales.....

We had a lovely and peaceful Christmas time at the lodge, just as we did two years ago. The owner is very friendly and helpful, the property is clean and well-equipped. I would highly recommend relaxing in the hot tub after enjoying the scenic walking routes in the area :-)

Lovely little get away
Me and my partner stayed here and we loved it! We was greeted by Emma on arrival who was very nice and helpful. She gave us a walk round and explained anything we needed to know. WiFi offered to us. The lodge was absolutely lovely, the photos advertised really do not do it justice. Clean and homely. I seen a few reviews mention lack of privacy because the jacuzzi room is close to the house but we really didn't feel this was an issue at all. It was made very private with blinds all round, 90 minutes a day allowed in the jacuzzi which we thought was more than enough. We was left a welcome pack full of sweet treats which was really nice. We really enjoyed our stay, thankyou.
