York is beautiful city to visit and there are lots of things to do in and around York. The park itself was well maintained very helpful and friendly staff. There wasn't much noise and had lots of wildlife on your doorstep. The hot tub was super and was checked daily by park staff. The lodge itself was very well equipped and we never found ourselves wanting anything extra during our stay. I would love to back in the future." |
| Mrs M, 15 June 2009 |

We have passed the details on to many friends and we will be back ourselves!" |
| Miss J, 27 November 2006 |
| |
| |
