What our customers say about their holidays

  This is potentially an excellent property in a superb location for exploring York and North Yorkshire.

  However, we identified a number of issues that need to be addressed before we could recommend it to our friends or family, as follows: - It was extremely difficult to locate the property in the dark, as the lights on the gates were not in operation and we could not see the litter bin as it was small and black. - The drive was in a state of disrepair due to potholes and an uneven surface. - The parking spaces were sufficient for two cars but were extremely difficult to manoeuvre into due to the trees on the drive. - Ensure that you have provisions when you arrive, as there is no welcome pack of milk, etc, and the local shop closes relatively early! We had to go to Tesco, which is about 6 miles away. - The fridge was very small and did not have the milk bottle holder, as it was missing from the door, which made storage for 5 people very difficult. - There was only enough washing up liquid for one lot of washing-up!! - There was a hole in the lounge wall that looked unsightly. - The sofas were very uncomfortable, with no foot-stools - The shower head in the communal bathroom seemed to have some sort of bag tied around it. - All the beds were very uncomfortable and the mattresses in the Premier Inn we stayed in on the way up were luxurious in comparison. - The en-suite bathroom door could not be properly shut as there was a gap of about 3", which meant that there was no possibility of privacy. - The Highwayman Pub is the only place to eat locally and it is very good. However, it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

  We had a wonderful stay at the lodge.

  Alison & Chris we're just such terrific hosts, they were so welcoming and thoughtful. The little touches were very appreciated such as a bottle of wine, eggs, marshmallows and skewers for the firepit which they also provided all the wood and tools for. They even took our daughter off to meet their chickens and collect eggs which was a wonderful experience for her. They were also so helpful providing us with information on where to eat and visit. The lodge is set in a beautiful spot, the location is perfect, providing easy access to York, Easingwold and Thirsk. The lodge itself was immaculate and the facilities were excellent, so much thought has been put into ensuring you have everything you need throughout your stay. The style and quality of the decor was also super. We had such a lovely week and will definitely return, thank you Alison & Chris, we hope to see you again x

  Just arrived back from a lovely week at the lodge.

  Kay the host is very welcoming & on hand if needed. Gorgeous welcome treats from Terrington tea rooms, try the sweet chilli sausage rolls. The lodge is in a perfect location for visiting lots of neighbouring towns, York, the coast, Malton etc. Castle Howard is beautiful and a short drive away. There are several local pubs, Crown and Cushion was a good find with a pizza place opposite. The Lodge was very clean, beautiful views & animals, a lovely swing seat and of course the hot tub which was perfect to relax in at the end of the day. All looked very pretty with the fairy lights at night and is a good place to view stars weather permitting. The only feedback really would be there was no Internet/WiFi and I had zero signal so couldn't research things. Although it did give me a break from my phone

  Gardener's Lodge is so beautifully presented whilst also being very comfortable with a homely feel.

  It has a lovely feel throughout, most importantly the beds are extremely comfy and so sleeping is made easy from day 1. A lot of lodges can be just ok inside and out but Gardener's Lodge has a very luxurious feel. It is a lovely place to relax and unwind whilst also feeling a part of nature. We have visited twice in the space of 3 months as it is just so lovely, along with Chris & Alison who always give us such a warm welcome. Our 3 year old is now getting used to eggs from their very own chickens. Their lovely gestures really gives that added touch to the stay. Lovely place for both friends to enjoy and small families. It has all you need and more. Be prepared for a lovely time. We hope to be back here again next year. Thanks again. Adele, Emmanuel, Isabelle (3 yrs) & Grace (9mnths)

  We had a lovely stay at Rose Lodge.

  However please take these few requests as a positive and not a negative. The bath could have done with "grip handles' in for ease of leaving the bath ! Also the shower in the same bathroom, the height adjustment clip adjuster was missing which caused the shower not to flow freely and more often than not if faced the wall. Some instructions for the oven and washing machine would have been helpful as a 59 minute wash ended up nearly 2 hours with clothing being dryed as well which caused a pair of trousers to shrink. On the night of arrival it was a little chilly but no heating could be turned on. Finally a contact number would have been great in case of contact being needed ie we need the heating on. All in all a lovely lodge and would very highly recommend !
