Whinstone View Luxury Lodges, Great Ayton

For a little treat before Christmas my very thoughtful boyfriend booked us into a luxury lodge for the night near Great Ayton. This happens to be our second visit to the lodges after visiting last year for my birthday however this time we stayed in a different lodge called the Zoffany.

At Whinstone View there is a collection of luxury lodges to hold from two people up to six people. Almost all the lodges have a hot tub, except one of the larger ones but that one has a fire pit instead! How cosy.

The lodge is quite basic with a bedroom, space for hanging clothes and a bathroom. The lodge has a very snazzy tv/sound system so you can listen to their selection of music or bring your own CDs/DVDs. There is also a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, a hairdryer and an iron in case you need them.

The lodge is pretty much entirely made of wood which gives it a really cosy feel. The bathroom is very fancy with a walk in shower which is very powerful. Whilst we were at the cabin we watched a lovely Christmas film (Rise of the Guardians), went for a meal at the bistro on site (post on this tomorrow), and jumped in the hot tub. The hot tub is on all the time so whenever you fancy hopping in you can, just turn on the lights and jets for a little extra fun.

Although the lodge is £220 per night it is a lovely getaway. Check in is from 3pm so if you go early you can definitely get your moneys worth. Breakfast is also included for that cost.

Have you been to this lodge before? Have you been to somewhere similar? We'd love to know of other lodges we could visit!
