Blackthorn Lodge was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all expectations. The whole place felt incredibly comfortable from the moment we arrived, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to relax straight away. The outdoor area was a real highlight, beautifully set up and perfect for unwinding in peaceful surroundings. The hot tub was without a doubt the best part of the stay, it was spotless, easy to use, and made the whole experience feel extra special. Sitting back and relaxing in it was the perfect way to end each day. Everything about the lodge was thoughtfully done, making it a truly memorable stay. We would happily return and highly recommend Blackthorn Lodge to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. Thanks so much for the best stay!!

We had the most amazing stay in Blackthorn Lodge. The lodge was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The outside area was perfect and so peaceful. We were 25 minutes from York so was lovely to spend the day there. Would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back to visit soon!

The lodge was decorated really nicely, you can tell a lot of thought had been put into the decor. There was a little box of shortbreads on arrival, bath & shower gel provided, tea / coffee & milk as well as salt & pepper which was a nice touch, as we travelled by train we didn’t want to carry a lot of stuff with us. The bed was really comfortable & we had a really good sleep. The outdoor area was great, the hot tub was really spacious and clean. There was a lot to do to keep us entertained, we had a pool table, dart board, projector & some games provided inside the lodge. Overall the stay was great I couldn’t fault anything, the only tiny critique I’d have that isn’t really a critique more of a suggestion, is to add a small heater to the outside area as even with the fire it got a bit chilly when watching the projector. We can’t wait to come back in the warmer months and stay again, I have had so many people asking where we stayed based off my instagram stories & would highly recommend to anyone!

We stayed in blackthorn lodge for 3 nights to finish off our daughters 18th birthday celebrations. It was all we had hoped it to be, the outside space was amazing and the hot tub setting was perfect
The little touches did not go unoticed either.
Hosts replied to any queries really quickly and resolved any minor problems we may of had promptly
We will definitely be back

What an amazing stay!!!

I was browsing for a lodge with something a bit more fun and came across this company. (I actually saw it first indirectly but it was much better value direct). I actually saw Mulberry Lodge and was gutted our dates weren’t available. I then came across the Facebook page advertising a brand new lodge ready to book from the very next day - fate?!

It was exactly like the photos and was a brilliant stay for my birthday with my husband and my parents came for the first night too.

The welcome pack had everything you needed to know and the lodge was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. It had games which was a great touch for when it was time to come inside from playing pool and darts. We couldn’t not use the hot tub which was so pretty with the floral decor overlooking the water.

The log burner was also great - we were informed to bring our own lighting equipment so we could be prepared and we also did get some more wood en route just incase but this was the only thing (other than drinks and food of course) that we had to bring. The beer fridge and pizza oven was great as well. With everything the lodge had you didn’t need to go out, spend lots of money and struggle to get the bar - you got the pub feel at “home” and the projector screen was great for Spotify or YouTube videos (could also be used for streaming services).

The location was great - we went to the York outlet on the way there and then ventured into York for the Christmas markets after night number 1 which was great but we were keen to get back to the lodge for music, drinks and games night! We wished we had booked for longer…

Would highly recommend this company and this lodge. I would be tempted to try the others as they look gorgeous but I feel we’ve been too spoilt with Blackthorn Lodge so we will definitely be booking again for a little weekday treat very soon.
