Hedgehog at Studford Luxury Lodges in York has a current rating of 5/5.

One visitor said: “I went along with my wife, 2 sons, daughter in law and grand daughter. This is a fantastic place. With only 6 lodges no one is overlooked and you are surrounded by trees with a grassed area at the front. Everything is all in very good taste right down to the crockery.

“With a Sauna, hot tub and lovely out door seating area you don't need more. All 3 bedroom have their own on suite. We stopped in lodge 2 Hedgehog, but they all looked great. No need to go anywhere else. All rooms and lounge had flat screen TV. The lounge TV is massive.”

Meanwhile, Doodale Cottage in Malton has a full 5/5 rating on Tripadvisor.

This person commented: “What a beautiful place to stay. Spacious, spotlessly clean and so well equipped. We were made so welcome by Sally & Roger and everything was perfect. Being taken to meet the other ‘residents’ at the farm was an added bonus: the Highland cattle were very welcoming!”
