Yorkshire Spa Retreat

Lodge clean and tidy when we arrived. Everything we needed was there.

Superb accommodation

Great place to stay and visit highly recommend

?????????? 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 (Friday–Monday): 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 I’d caught her name, as she was a delight). The 2-for-1 cocktails from 5–8pm 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 can’t recommend it highly enough and will definitely be returning.

Amazing, really comfy and has everything you would wish for.

Perfect, don't think I can fault it all. Would definitely recommend this lodge

We had an amazing stay in one of the pet friendly lodges with hot tub. The lodge was spotless and well maintained with a welcome pack for guests and dogs!The site is very dog friendly with bowls and beds in the lodge and an enclosed paddock with dog bins and waste bags provided. The Spa is a hidden gem and so relaxing being nice and quiet and not over crowded. The on site dome bar and restaurant is a lovely setting for a drink and meal with good quality food, drink and service.

Lodges are immaculate and have everything you need. Spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Quiet at night.

Superb lodge - well appointed and equipped. We enjoyed our stay there

Superb location and facilities,would highly recommend a stay here.

A beautiful lodge modern furnishings immaculately clean and even a barbecue the beds were really comfortable only problems being both showers were either scalding hot or ice cold

Great break ????

Blacksmith’s lodge was lovely and very well equipped.

We stayed at this lodge recently and found it quite cosy, even if a bit smaller than our last place. It was spotless and warm when we arrived, which was lovely. Everything was working fine, though the shower heads could do with a descale or replacing-they sprayed in strange directions. The double bed was a bit lumpy, so a new mattress or topper might help. Overall, decent enough for a short stay!

Comfortable, friendly, great location

We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was spotless and beautifully decorated with a modern touch. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Only tiny issue was the shower - it was either scorching or freezing, never a nice warm temp. Still, we’d come back!

Really enjoyed our stay, would come back!

Excellent lodge in very good condition

We had a really great stay! The place was spotless, bright and felt spacious - everything we needed was there. Our partner loved the coffee machine, which was a nice touch. The hot tub and outdoor gear were top-notch. Only stayed two nights, so didn’t get to try the BBQ or enjoy the neighbours’ lovely smells. Next time, we’ll bring some burgers for sure!

Really enjoyed our stay, couldn't fault the lodge!

Our stay at Yorkshire Spa Retreat was genuinely lovely. The setting is so peaceful, perfect for unwinding and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The spa was cosy, but we really enjoyed it, even if it’s on the smaller side. Treatments were quite good, though they only used basic massage oils, which was a bit disappointing considering the price (£125). I’d love to see more options available. The grounds are attractive, but some areas still need a bit more planting and groundwork to really shine. Our lodge was beautiful and super comfortable, but the hot tub’s location at the back of the lodge was a bit of a let down - overlooking a pile of earth and the back of the lodge, which isn't very scenic. Some creative planting or screening would make it better. Despite that, we’d definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay! The lodge was super comfy, especially the master bedroom with plenty of storage. The kitchen was well-equipped and the BBQ was fantastic - honestly, the best I’ve ever used. The second bedroom is a bit small for adults, more suited for kids, but overall, we enjoyed it. We were four adults plus two labradors, so next time, we’d probably go for a bigger lodge to spread out a bit more. Still, it was a great experience!

Absolutely loved our time here! The lodges are stunning and super comfy. The on-site spa was a real treat. Hope to come back soon! I’d definitely recommend it to friends.

We loved the spa and lodge overall, but the hot tub could really use better lighting nearby. It’d make getting in and out much safer, especially at night. Still, fantastic stay!

Really enjoyed our stay, the place had everything we needed and was well thought out.

Really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was spotless, super comfy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a real highlight!

Really enjoyed our stay, will come back!

We really enjoyed our stay; the lodge was spotless with some lovely brand touches. The welcome hamper made us feel at home. Only downside was a strange smell that just wouldn’t go away, even with diffusers. It’s still lingering in our wash bag, which was odd!
