The Lodge was amazing. It was immaculate inside, had everything you could possibly need and was very spacious. It was the nicest property we have ever stopped in.

The Lodge was immaculate on all counts, with kind and friendly hosts. The location was ideal for us with the local buses taking us to Harrogate Ripley and Knaresborough. We enjoyed our short break and we were lucky with good weather everyday. We will definately recommend this property to our family and friends.

The Lodge is situated back from the road, so is quiet with off road parking conveniently right by the door. The Lodge was very well equipped with everything we needed, and beautifully clean and well maintained. The open plan lounge/kitchen/diner is roomy with modern comfortable furniture and fittings, and the bedroom large with plenty of storage spRead moreace. A comfortable bed and excellent shower complete an excellent property. Station only 15 minute walk away for train to York, & short drive to RHS. Hide

Immaculately clean, beautifully furnished, well equipped accommodation. Perfectly situated for exploring Nidderdale and the surrounding area. The owners are on hand if needed but otherwise completely unobtrusive. We had a happy stay here and would definitely return if we are in this area. Thank you Nick and Deborah.

We had a lovely week at the lodge, it was beautifully clean and got everything you need to make it home from home. Debbie and Nick (the owners) were really nice and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Bed was lovely and comfortable and a lovely roomy shower. Definitely worth every penny we paid, hopefully we will be staying there again in the nRead moreot too distant future. We also made two new friends while we were there, Martha and Matteo two friendly cockapoo's what more could you ask for. Hide

The Lodge was certainly the cleanest, smartest, best appointed self-catering property we have ever stayed in. Nick and Debby were great hosts, warm and friendly without being overbearing. Debby maintains a beautiful garden. Great location for getting into Harrogate, Knaresborough and York (the park and ride was a great way to get into York). RHS HaRead morerlow Carr was stunning and only a few mins drive. A bonus was the gathering of Red Kites over The Lodge late every afternoon. Hide

A lovely self-contained lodge within the owner's own house grounds. It is extremely well equipped, comfortable, clean and very easy to live in. It's location is great as Harrogate and Knaresborough are an easy drive away yet bus stops or train stations are also within short walking distances as alternatives to driving.

Everything was excellent about the Lodge. It was immaculate and top class furnishings and equipment. There was everything you could think of and nice to have own private garden to sit in.
