A delightful romantic retreat nestled on the edge of the small village of Bubwith. The traditional village pub serves local cask ales and delicious home-cooked food with a warm welcome. The village also offers a convenience store with long opening hours. Guests can enjoy visiting the local deli, wine and gift shop, as well as a renowned local butchers, and an Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant/takeaway. With many local walks from the doorstep, the local countryside is just waiting to be explored, with all the attractions of North Yorkshire slightly further afield. Based just 13 miles from the historic minster city of York there are activities for everyone. Walk the beautiful cobbled streets, visit the magnificent minster or place your bets at York Racecourse while sipping champagne in the sunshine.

A little gem of a cottage, warm and cosy with lovely hosts. The icing on the cake is the use of the private pool and sauna. Situated in a very convenient area for cycling, found some wonderfully peaceful back roads to many villages. Everyone is so friendly too.

We have no negative comments about this property. The comfort of the bed and the cleanliness of the property was great.It was like home from home. We didn't take advantage of using the pool although we had plenty of opportunities to do so,this didn't affect the enjoyment of our holiday as it was our choice to do what we wanted each day. Penny and KRead moreeith were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us if we needed anything. We went out in the car regularly , and walked to the local pub and shops. Hide

We have used Holiday Cottages a number of times to find pleasant get aways. We have never been disappointed. However Willow Lodge was in a different class. Private swimming pool and sauna accessed from a lovely garden room. More luxury spa get away than simply a cottage :)

This is a lovely, clean and comfortable lodge, attached to the owners house. It has direct access to the pool which guests have private use of, outside the daily swimming lessons.

The butchers is also fab (we stocked up before leaving!). York is 20 mins and lots of other places are easy to reach. Hide
