We have just returned from a 4 night break here after our wedding. The location is great, close enough to nip into York for the day but away from all the hustle and bustle. We have stayed at lots of the hoseasons lodges and I have to say this one does not let them down. The lodge itself was very... more

Just got back from a weekend 3-night break with Hubbie staying in Lodge 21 a Gardeners Premier Lodge. I booked in October and this was the only one left but one of the best as it turns out! The Park is secluded but within easy driving distance of many attractions and we followed advise from this website and went to... more

Check-in was very easy, just popped into reception and all done in a couple of minutes. Parking was just outside the front door so... more

I had looked at this place on the internet for a couple of years but as avid overseas holiday goers it never made it to the top of our priority list. However with a 4 month old baby we had to look for holiday options in the UK and we really struck gold with this place We stayed in a... more

We stayed at Griffon Forest for part of our honeymoon. Upon arrival, we couldn't believe how secluded it was, when it was only a few miles from York city centre.
