Arrived on Friday at 5pm and we were told that the hot tub wouldn't be ready for a couple of hours which was fine and we were aware this might happen. We checked the tub at 9pm at which point it was still cold (32.5 degrees) so messaged the out of hours number to be told that they cannot guarantee the water will be upto temp which we have been told at a number off different places we have stayed but this was the first time it hasn't been warm enough on the first night. Checked the temp in the morning 36.6 so barley usable for the kids who went in for about 15 mins and got out saying it was cold. Again complained and the manager came and said that the temperature had been checked that morning at it was correct which clearly it wasn't. Eventually at 2pm on Saturday Callum came to check the temp and explained that they now run on heat source air pumps which clearly cant heat the water as it should be. If i had have known this when we booked id have gone elsewhere. So the hot tub was unusable for 50% off the break.The lodge itself was ok but the pans need replacing as they were scratched and rusty with handles missing from lids and there were cobwebs everywhere. Management must be cutting back on the use off vacuums to pay for the inadequate heat pumps.The manager offered a 'deal' on a return visit but i wouldn't waste my time or money which is a shame as the surroundings are excellent.

We purposely book this lodge as we like the location, tucked out of the way. 2 double rooms and one twin which is exactly what we want for our party. Kitchen is well equipped. Hot tub recently replaced.Only improvement would be some fencing around the hot tub for added privacy

As per main comments, some of the soft furnishings, particularly the sofas are past their best and require renewal. Both bathrooms flooring could do with replacement and some remedial work to address blackened silicone sealant etc. is required. The lodge is still nice but starting to look slightly tired in places. Not a big task to get it to an excellent standard once again.

This has to be the best lodge I have ever stayed in, it was absolutely perfect from parking to leaving, the lodge itself was a home away from it had everything you needed to cook and enjoy, the hot tub was clean hot and views to die for, the staff checking in was so helpful and kind and had a really good chat about things near by, this was for a girls weekend but I will definitely be back with my family for another stay ???? thank you so much because we hadn't booked here but our accommodation was cancelled 5 hours before check in and cedar retreats jumped in and saved the day and I'm so glad they did, so thank you to everyone at cedar retreats you've truly spoilt us ????

Overall the lodge was lovely. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you might need.The hot tub was an amazing addition to our lodge and was used daily throughout our trip.The cleanliness wasn't too bad just a few cobwebs around but a previous guests bathing suit was found in the bathroom on arrival, which raised concerns if the bathroom has been cleaned properly.

Its very central to visit many places, Leyburn, Thirsk, Arboretum , Knaresborough to name just a few. The local pub The Bruce serves quality food and the atmosphere is great. The hot tub was very nice and private and I think was the highlight of the stay to relax after a day shopping or sightseeing.

Lovely comfortable and well equipped lodge with a great hot tub. Could do with a few more lights outside for night time hot tubbing.

Everything was almost perfect, if I had one criticism it would be that the crockery was very utilitarian, for that added bit of luxury china would be nice. The lake view was virtually non existent due to the planting around the lakeside.

Daleside Lodge has everything you need. Comfortable furniture, spacious rooms all utensils and is very clean and tidy.Parking was for two cars with ours, and you could actually fit two cars (unlike some places).Plenty of space between lodges so you don't feel hemmed in.Overall, perfect.

Returning customers who enjoy the location and surrounding area. Some of the couches could do with upgrade due to age and for us the beds are a bid hard but overall weve enjoyed our numerous stays and will continue to return for our short Yorkshire breaks.

A lovely basic lodge. Beds are comfortable and it has the facilities needed for holiday. Amazing hot tub with views of fields. Those slat fences that are supposed to be privacy fences are a waste of time though. Can see through them. Plenty of utensils. Oven was incredibly noisy when on. Leather sofas not the most comfortable and the smart to was so slow and kept cutting off YouTube. Had to do a good sweep of spiders and spider webs everywhere. However these small minor details didnt inhibit the fact that this lodge is comfortable peaceful and a great place to stay in.

Lodge was very large, furniture was about usual for this type of property (not Luxury as advertised). Nice lodge but a bit tired in places, especially bathroom

We had a very good holiday despite the awful weather the lodges are spacious clean and well equipped but the TV kept breaking up though the WiFi is excellent.phone reception however is poor.The park is peaceful and relaxing with ducks and rabbits and birds everywhere. Its very quiet but near lots of lovely places to visit.

Wow what a lovely place to stay, everything and everywhere was immaculate We stayed in a dog friendly lodge which was lovely but when we next stay were going to have a larger dog friendly lodge, as lovely as it was we would of preferred it a little bigger, but thats just our preference, the lodge was immaculate and the hot tub was bigger enough for two of us and lovely and clean and hotThe staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble, we asked what its like when its full and Mandy an amazing lady said we are, so if your looking for peace and quiet even when they are full trust me this is the perfect place to stay The local cafe which is in Masham is amazing its a little tea room The scenery is something else, not many shops but we went for the peacefulness I Cant recommend this retreat enough it was just beautiful including having the ducks visiting us every day We will be staying again very soon

We've very recently returned from Cedar Retreats - we had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Yorkshire. Its perfectly located for accessing so many places. The lodge was perfect for us (bedrooms at either end of the lodge and living area in the middle) - first time we've had a lodge in that layout but it really worked for us. Reluctant to tell you which lodge incase it's booked up next year, but it was lodge 19 that we had. The view we had was wonderful - over the fields at the back - lovely watching the sheep each morning. We also had an unexpected "lake" (aka flooded field!) to watch the wildlife and birds etc Hot tub was brilliant and nice and easy to access. The staff were all really pleasant and super helpful. One of our beds was squeaking - the lady on reception whizzed round with her screwdriver and tightened it all. Nothing was too much trouble. Couple of super minor points - a whisk would've been handy and some salt in the salt pot? Also the little stones from the driveway get trodden into the lodge - not sure how to prevent that...but it must annoying the cleaners! All in all it was a wonderful stay!
