Oakwood Lodges

We loved staying here! The place is super peaceful, far from the busy village and we enjoyed watching all the bird life from the deck. The accommodation was spotless and well equipped, which made everything easy. The hot tub was sparkling clean and ready to go when we arrived-such a nice touch. If we’re honest, the main bedroom could do with a king-size bed, but overall, it felt really private facing the lake. Great value for a weekend getaway in March!

From the moment we arrived, we were pretty impressed - the bedroom really does have that wow factor. We were a bit thrown off by the fridge situation, though. It’s listed as a fridge freezer, but it’s actually just an under-counter fridge with a tiny freezer compartment. Not a big deal for a weekend, but we stayed for a week and had loads of frozen food in cool bags, so it was a bit inconvenient. Maybe the description should be clearer so folks don’t get caught out. The windows in the kitchen and bedroom could do with a good clean - when the sun’s shining, you notice how grubby they are. A shelf in the shower would be a handy addition, too. As others mentioned, the TV is quite small, so upgrading that would be nice. More plug sockets would also make things easier. Despite these minor gripes, we really enjoyed ourselves - the hot tub was definitely the best we’ve ever used. We’d happily come back for another weekend away if we get the chance!

Absolutely loved it here

Overall, I think it's a decent product. The only tiny gripe is that I prefer softer pillows, so it took me some time to settle in comfortably. Nothing major, just personal preference really.

The place was super tidy and the beds were really comfy with loads of pillows. Everything in the kitchen was there, making it easy to cook. We’d stay again for sure!

Very peaceful, would recommend!

We had a really lovely time staying at Oakwood! It’s a great spot to start the New Year, honestly. The lodge itself was cosy and surrounded by stunning nature - we loved the little robins that kept visiting us each morning. The hot tub was a real treat, especially in the snowy, crisp weather, didn’t want to leave! We did have a minor electric trip because of the snow, but the staff kept us updated, which was appreciated. Overall, a chilled weekend, highly recommend!

The beds were super comfy, but the sofa looked a bit worn out. Overall, we had a lovely stay!

Really enjoyed the stay

We’ve been here three times now and absolutely love it. The setting is stunning, the hot tub is lovely and the wildlife is just incredible. We’d move in if we could!!

Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back again!

Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was stunning and the hot tub was a bonus!

Very comfortable spot

We had a fantastic time! The lodge was spotless and well-equipped. Can’t wait to come back sometime soon! Definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay; the lodge was spotless and very well kept. The bedrooms were immaculate, which made all the difference. Only thing we’d suggest is upgrading the TVs to smart ones since the current ones felt a bit dated. Staff were super friendly and helpful when we broke a glass tumbler. Thanks to everyone who made our trip so lovely!

The hot tub was massive, really enjoyed that! The bed was super comfy and the shower had a strong flow. A bigger TV would’ve been nice and the dishwasher didn’t quite clean right, but overall, no complaints.

Nice spot for a peaceful weekend, yet still handy for York’s sights.

Really enjoyed the stay

Beds were super comfy, but the TV could have been a bit larger. We didn't watch much anyway.

Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was cosy and well-equipped.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It had everything we could ask for and the secluded spot made it feel so private - no worries about being watched while relaxing in the hot tub. Watching the ducks every day was such a lovely bonus for the kids!

Great shop, just missing robes and a parasol for perfect scores.

The furniture really needs an update; some pieces are quite worn. The sofa's sagging, making it less comfy and the wardrobes could do with repairs or replacing. Kitchen units also look a bit tired. It didn’t ruin our trip, but we’re not sure we’d stay here again soon.

Honestly, we loved the bed - it was super comfy! The bath was amazing and the hot tub comfortably fit four even if only two of us booked it. Definitely a solid 10/10!

Really enjoyed our stay! The place was super peaceful and cosy, just what we needed. Remember to bring your own plugs; no USB sockets, which was a tiny hassle. Still, a lovely, relaxing escape!

We’ve been coming here for three years now and it’s still just as lovely. Such a peaceful spot, perfect for exploring around. Definitely recommend!

We absolutely adore the lodges and the surroundings. It’s such a calm, peaceful spot-perfect for unwinding and relaxing. We genuinely can’t wait to come back again soon!

A really peaceful spot, perfect for unwinding and recharging.

We really enjoyed our stay at Oakwood Lodges again. The place is so welcoming and super comfy. One thing we noticed is that a bigger fridge freezer would make things a lot easier, especially for longer stays. The location is perfect if you’re after some peace and quiet, though it does mean you need to do daily shopping since there aren’t many shops nearby. We did try ordering takeaways, but some were quite pricey and not really worth it, especially the Chinese place listed in the folder - honestly, we wouldn’t bother again. Still, the lodge itself is lovely and we’d definitely come back!

Absolutely loved this holiday to celebrate our 60th birthdays. Such a peaceful location surrounded wildlife, the House martins were a treat to watch. The lodge has everything you need in it to enjoy your stay. The site manager Gerry was really helpful especially in recommending places to eat out at. Easy to get to Selby & York. We will definitely return. TY

Loverly location nice and relaxing good quality and modern Lodge very helpful staff would recommend to any body

If you want a little luxury, and complete peace and quiet this is the place to go. Gerry and Garry are excellent and really make you feel at home.

Beautiful and peaceful holiday, great location and settings. My third stay here and will come back again. A relaxing holiday, just what I wanted.

Secluded and so peaceful. Great location just a few miles from York and designer outlet park and ride.

Had a great stay, place is lovely and the view as well as the family of ducks are beautiful. The lodge was clean and nicely decorated and having the hot tub was an added bonus. Would recommend this place for any romantic getaway. Thank you.

Superb location and good accommodation

We had a great week, lodge was really good and had everything we needed. We all loved it, we had the hottest day ever though and needed fans for nighttime. Superb location for us we had two children with us so we’re out most days then back later in…hot tub was great for us as a family too.

A lovely peaceful break with lovely clean accommodation and friendly helpful staff

What an Amazing lodge, it's luxurious and relaxing. We stayed for a week and it was so chilled. The bedroom definitely has the wow factor. It was the comfiest bed I've ever slept on and the shower is amazing. We were there during the heat wave and temperatures got to 40°. We turned the hot tub down low and used it to cool off. The kitchen was well aquiped and had everything we needed. We headed into York one day and used the park and ride to get there. York was lovely. The only downfall of the whole break was the garden furniture. The chairs are uncomfortable and because they were metal got excruciatingly hot during the day that you couldn't sit on them. As it was so hot you wanted to be outside but unfortunately there was nowhere to relax. I'd have rated this 10/10 if the furniture had been a bit more comfortable and practical. If we went again we would take our own garden loungers.

Excellent holiday been here 4 times now and love it more each time.

Was amazing! Came here for a weekend away with a date and it was that beautiful we made our relationship official! Absolutely beautiful place!

Beautiful lodge, overlooking a small lake, occupied by wildlife. Superb hot tub and modern lodge. Very relaxing ! Well worth a second visit.
