The lodge sleeps 4 in two bedrooms - a double with en-suite bathroom and a twin with nearby shower room. Both have luxurious walk-in showers that'll make you want to stay in there all day (just watch the floor slope in one of them unless you fancy swimming to bed). The open-plan living space has everything you need - fully equipped kitchen, dining area and comfy seating with TV and WiFi.

York is just a short drive away, as are the coastal towns of Scarborough and Bridlington. Flamingo Land is perfect for family days out and the beautiful Wolds countryside offers fantastic walking and cycling. The welcome hamper with treats is a lovely touch that shows how much the hosts care. Skylark is spotlessly clean, beautifully presented and has guests coming back again and again.

Skylark Reviews

Elaine
We really had a lovely stay in skylark. The accommodation was perfect, exceptionally clean and super comfortable, and the hosts are lovely. Welcome pack was appreciated too
Fantastic lodge. Very comfortable. Superb hosts. Would highly recommend.
Hannah
Lovely modern property which was nice and warm inside which was essential considering how cold it was outside. Excellent location. Great layout and excellent facilities. We were asked the day before arriving if we wanted the hot tub warm for when we arrived and if so what time we were planning on getting there. When we arrived the hot tub was hot which was amazing. Would definitely stay again.
Brilliant hosts. Superb lodge. Maintained to high standard. Very comfortable and welcoming. Can't improve perfection.
Superb lodge. Beautifully decorated. Great position. Would definately return.
Colette
Gorgeous property and facilities, we had a lovely stay! Hot tub was heated for arrival to start the trip off well. Great location, near to the coast and to York. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
George
Lovely cottage, great location hot tub was brilliant. Had a great stay
Richard
The property was lovely, welcoming and full of charm. Was a brilliant touch having the hot tub already warm when we arrived which we all loved. The property is located in an ideal location to head to york or the coast. Will definitely be back
We had a fantastic stay this weekend gone 25th27th oct. The property was so clean and welcoming. The owner took the time to heat the wood fired hot tub up for us on the day of our arrival so that we didn't have to wait for it to heat up. The little things like the tea and coffee basket with a few biscuit and savory treats was such a lovely touch and made us smile when we first arrived. Everything was thoroughly thought out and we couldn't have enjoyed it more. The only negative was...we just weren't there long enough! Next time, we will definitely be booking for longer!! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
This lodge had everything we needed hence my ratings. The entrance was absolutely ideal for charging my daughters electric wheelchair she didnt need to use it inside although Im sure there was plenty of room. However there is just one thing that would have been more beneficial and that is hand rails in the showerwetroom. We hope to visit again.
Ourselves and two friends enjoyed our week in this new property which was in a pleasant countryside location and within reasonable distance of places to visit in East Yorkshire. We did manage to find the lodge, despite the directions referring to a right turn when it should have been left. We understand that others may have been going to the wrong farms. The standard of the property was as expected from the images and the price we paid. That said, we had a problem with the shower room flooding and that was very disappointing and inconvenient when we were there for a whole week. The friendly owner was concerned and was to speak to his builder. There was no quick fix for us and we think shower doors are needed for both showers. The description failed to mention the dishwasher and so that was a pleasant surprise. Be aware that the double room is a double and not a king size bed as we would have hoped for in a property of this standard. We made the booking knowing that there was not a washing machine and drier. This was less than we would normally expect when staying for a week, even just for the purpose of freshening towels and especially with the flooding shower room. We wonder if the owner has had poor advice on this.
Robert
We didn't get time to notify the owners before we left, but one of the showers floods the adjoining bedroom because the floor slopes in the wrong direction. But in general this is an amazing cottage, with excellent facilities.
The lodge was lovely & in a great place to visit local towns & coastal visits. Welcome pack was much appreciated.
Darren
Excellent property and lovely owners. We enjoyed the hot tub, as an extra treat and found the accommodation to be comfortable and a place we could relax. Welcome pack was much appreciated and owner was very helpful. One thing we think could be improved was the water from the shower, especially off of the twin room as it wanted to escape into the bedroom, however we angled the shower head. We highly recommend this property, set in a lovely location.
Myself my wide and our two grandchildren enjoyed out stay at Skylark. Where I would say it is a high end extremely well speced lodge. Everything you would need for your stay. Located in a rural position and located within easy commutable distance to York, Scarborough, Flamingo land and a host of other locations. We will be back.
We looked at many properties during our search for somewhere to stay and we are so glad we found this one. The lodge is immaculate with everything you could want during your stay. The hot tub was a bonus, so easy to use and a joy to relax in after a long day out on the bike. The location is perfect if you want peace and quiet but close enough to amenities when you need them and if you want to eat out we had a fab meal at The Wolds Inn in nearby Huggate. We have already recommended this place to others and will definitely book again in the future.
Bethany
We had a wonderful few days in Skylark. The lodge was extremely clean, well equipped and comfortable. We had all we needed for a very enjoyable stay. We cooked all our evening meals at the lodge and found everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. The showers were luxurious, and the wood fired hot tubs were a highlight for us all. For constructive feedback, perhaps adding blackout lining to the bedroom curtains would help for lengthier sleeping as the huge windows are wonderful but let a lot of light in! Also, more information about bins, recycling etc may have been useful. The amount of suggestions for places to go was brilliant! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. To have the hot tub ready to go when we arrived was wonderful, and such a nice touch. A very generous hamper on arrival was amazing. A fantastic lodge, thank you.
