"VERY NICE LODGE BUT WE WERE UNABLE TO CONTROL THE HEATING SYSTEM AND AT TIMES WE WERE COLD NOT GOOD EHEN YOUR IN YORKSHIRE."
MAIN CONCERN IS WHEN YOU ARE IN A SELF CATERING ACCOMODATION A SEPERATE FREEZER WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFULL.
OTHERWISE A NICE UNIT
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Gardener's Lodge. Regarding the heating system, the cabin is equipped with self regulating smart radiators, we are happy to change the settings on request for guests. We will investigate if there is a more convenient way for guests to do this. The lodge has a fridge with a freezer compartment, if it does not have enough capacity we can offer guests space in our chest freezer next door. We will edit the information to guests and put a note in the cabin to highlight this.
If you are holidaying in Yorkshire again, we would be pleased to welcome you to Gardener's Lodge.

Chris and Alison were so friendly and welcoming. We would definitely recommend the property for families as our little one loved it. The area is perfect to explore with so much to do from local villages, national trust properties and the coast. We'd love to return in the future.

"Gardener's Lodge is an ideal base for visiting north Yorkshire."
We had a lovely welcome from Chris & Alison with the unexpected bonus of some milk and eggs, with the offer of more eggs should we want any - the hens were laying well that week! The lodge itself is comfortable and stylish with all the necessities for a stay. Situated about half way north of York and south of Thirsk. The P&R for York is a few miles down the road and it takes under an hour and half to access the east coastal side. We also visited the Dales, all of which are within comfortable reach of the lodge. I would recommend the lodge to anyone looking to visit Yorkshire. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return. Thank you.

"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.

"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.

The lodge provided exactly what we were looking for a relaxing break away. The beds were extremely comfortable and big enough for the tall people of the group. The open plan kitchen and living area was perfect for cooking meals and socialising with everyone.
