  • "Had a wonderful stay for a week in August."

    Beautiful stand alone location. Property is exactly as in the listing and is off line (solar energy and water from a well) so very environmentally conscious. John the owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Great to have the Alpacas outside the property. Thought we were going to have a little alpaca but it didn't happen. The village of Tickhill is lovely and all amenities are present. We will definitely recommend to friends and may stay again ourselves. Tip - A few simple garden chairs would make it perfect.

  • "Lovely sweet cabin in a great location."

    The kids enjoyed the books and games that were provided. John was very helpful and friendly. It was a pain having no hot water most days, especially with teenagers who needed showering. The cleaning could do with been a bit more thorough, dust, cobwebs and flies on the floor when the kids playing and tooth paste in the bathroom sink

  • "Ideal location for a family gathering with plenty of parking and lots of space in the lodge."

    Well equipped with books and games as well as a log burner which came in handy with the cold weather. Friendly host and a unique experience spending time with the Alpacas. Excellent.

    Wonderful views over the surrounding coutryside but only 10 minutes away from Tickhill Village. The lodge was spacious with everything that you could need and the owner supplied a very nice and unexpected welcome basket waiting for us upon our arrival and he could not have been more friendly and helpful. Summed up in six words: spectacular views; cracking lodge; great host. All this and Alpacas too!

About the location

TICKHILL

Sheffield 18.5 miles.

Tickhill is a Yorkshire village with a history dating back to the Domesday Book. There are many traditional shops and pubs in Tickhill, which is a lovely place to explore, including the 12th century Tickhill Castle, which has had an eventful history; a battle between Prince John and his brother King Richard I and then the civil war of the 1640s when Oliver Cromwell paid it a visit! Today Tickhill Castle remains an impressive ruin, with its Norman gatehouse, foundations and moat, which are all accessible. The lovely millpond has a wide variety of ducks, and there is a very pleasant circular walk from it, a great way to take in the surroundings. Tickhill is in a superb position for Doncaster Races, which is 10 miles away, and the bright lights, theatres and shopping of Sheffield is only a 20 minute drive away. The Peak District National Park, Alton Towers and Sherwood Forest, the classic home of Robin Hood are all within easy reach. Bawtry, where the Mayflower Pilgrim Fathers came from, can be explored, while Lincoln is just 40 minutes away and a bit further are the Lincolnshire coast, York and Leeds, or The Deep submarium in Hull.
