  • "The lodge was in an excellent position with a lovely view."

    It was very comfortable and convenient to get to lots of interesting places. We did find that the central heating took time to kick in. Particularly in the early morning and early evening. The heating is on a set timer so can not be increased. However we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would visit again.

    Hi,thank you for booking Finnbarrs Lodge, and I'm pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and I look forward to welcoming you back again. The heating is set on a schedule, I also monitor the heating throughout the day,and the schedule can be adjusted to the guests requirements I'd needed. Once again thankyou for booking Finnbarrs Lodge and i look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

  • "Finnbars lodge was wonderful."

    ,We booked for 4 nights. The booking with sykes was safe and secure and check in details with the owner Sally was great. Keys waiting for us and heating on. The site was easy to find. Clean and tidy with a seperate area for bins and pet waste.There was a reception area open mon-fri should you have needed anything. There were Lodges for sale advertised here too and local information. The site had a few residents but mainly lodges for rental. Each lodge was well separated from each other. Some with small gardens and hot tubs. pretty much all with balconies and felt very private. We were in Lodge 46 high up, was perfect. So, plenty to choose from if you wish to return and re book same or another lodge. As a self catering lodge we were impressed with the little extras like cloths. Tea towels. Wash up liquid. Hairdryer. Loo roll , soap in the bathrooms etc.. Large fridge and oven easy to use. The smart tv was a bonus too. It was frosty when we were there so take care on the steps down to the lodge. The views from the balcony were lovely through the day and at night the stars and resident barn owl was amazing. The heating came on and off through the day but we're were able to slightly adjust the temperate if needed. The blinds and blackout curtains were perfect for a good night's sleep. Showers good too with high water pressure. Richmond. Thirsk. Bedale and Ripon all close by. Lovely little market towns. We can recommend the Farmers arms pub nearby. Huge portions and a fab menu. We had an absolutely fabulous stay here and will def be booking again. Our dogs loved it too

    Thankyou so much for your wonderful review..I'm so glad you had a lovely stay...Hope to see you back again at Finnbarrs Lodge.... Property Owner

    When we first walked into the lodge, we were met with a very strong smell that I can only describe as sick. There where stains on the sofa which I think the smell may have been c

    Hi,thankyou for the review,and thankyou for stopping at Finnbarrs Lodge.I must say I was very surprised reading your review as I take great care ,and pride in the presentation and cleanliness of my lodge. There are no stains on any of the furniture in the lodge, and I must say I was surprised about the odd aroma that you mentioned as at no point did you bring any of these issues to my attention despite you having a contact number which I give to all my guests. Once again thankyou for staying at Finnbarrs Lodge. Property Owner

  • "Our stay at this lodge was lovely, the lodge itself was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay."

    Some towels where provided however we did take our own, plenty of kitchen utensils and crockery provided, hairdryer, hoover, and a lovely touch was the hamper of tea, coffee shortbread biscuits and milk in the fridge helped settle us in after a long journey. We rated cleanliness a 3 purely because there was a lot of dust that had settled on the slatted blind's throughout the lodge and the shelving in the en-suite which I had to clean before putting my belongings on it as it was quite thick. Beds were fairly comfortable however nowhere is quite like your own bed and we all slept through. Accessibility to the lodge itself could cause issues with those less mobile, it is high up and from your parking space to the lodge you have to walk up and down deep steps and is not wheelchair accessible. The lodge has a very handy enclosed entrance hall which has a sink and washing machine, this area came in very handy for cleaning muddy paws and removing our shoes prior to entering the main living area. The lodge has a vast amount of storage for your belongings. The lodge is warm and cosy, has beautiful views and a great dog walk, the lodge does not have an enclosed garden and as dogs must be kept on a lead it was a bit of a chore having to put our dog on a lead to let him out to do his business. The owner kindly messaged us upon our arrival to welcome us and to reiterate that if we had any concerns we could contact her any time. Overall we had a lovely stay and we would be happy to stay here again.

    Thankyou for staying at Finnbarrs Lodge,I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay. With regards to dogs on leads, this is the park owners policy for all lodges on the park unless on the dog walk. Regarding access to and from lodge from the car park area there Is a hand rail to assist . Thankyou for staying at Finnbarrs Lodge, and I hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

  • "I had a lovely stay at Finnbars Lodge between Christmas and New Year with my husband and 2 teenage children."

    The lodge was absolutely beautiful, lovely, spacious and very clean, with everything we needed. It's in a great location, extremely peaceful and only a short drive away from many cafes, pubs, shops etc. We would 100% recommend booking Finnbars lodge and hope to go back again during the summer months.

    Thankyou very much for your lovely review.. Property Owner

Where you’ll be staying

RICHMOND

Barnard Castle 10 miles; Leyburn 12 miles.

Situated at the entrance to Swaledale, the ancient market town of Richmond stands on a prominent hilltop site to the north of the River Swale. Its cobbled streets and narrow alleys or 'wynds' enshrine over nine centuries of busy history and unique character. The town grew up around its castle, a Norman fortress dating back to 1071, famously situated high above the river - indeed the name Richmond is derived from 'Riche-mont' meaning 'strong hill'. Today there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed such as the Castle Walk - a dramatic terrace walk beneath the castle walls - or alternatively walk alongside the River Swale where there are parks, safe paddling areas and small waterfalls to enjoy. Within the town, narrow streets and alleys radiate from the cobbled Market Place (which has a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market) and there are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The town flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries and the resulting elegant Georgian architecture lines many of the old streets. The Georgian Theatre is one of the oldest surviving theatres in the country with visitors enjoying its regular productions all year round.
