I cannot put in words how awesome Griffon Forest is. You get to stay in a luxurious wooden lodge with an outdoor hot tub and indoor jacuzzi bath in the middle of a forest with York 6 miles away! THEMOSTROMANTIC getaway we’ve every had. We got engaged in one of the lodges and we came back again for honeymoon. The interiors are perfect with 4 poster beds and open plan living. The forest is quiet and packed with wildlife. There’s awesome local walks and you can hire bikes on site. If you want a cosy night with a dvd they have LOADS to hire for a donation. On site is a lovely wee shop selling locally sourced food. They even have camera round the wood where you can observe wildlife on the TV on your lodge at night. Badger cam! There’s is a restaurant near by at the gold course that serves amazing food. With York and local attractions such as Eden Camp so close it is the perfect luxury base for a holiday. Lodges can take 2+. I can’t recommend Griffon Forest more and have no bad words about it!
