Area
A pretty village on the banks of the River Aire, around 7 miles from Malham, with its spectacular limestone cove and scar. In the village you will find a selection of places to eat including a fantastic Indian restaurant, along with a small selection of pubs, cafes and shops. Traversed by the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, cycle route 68 and the Pennine Way, Gargrave is a fantastic base for exploring this part of Yorkshire. Four miles away is the ancient market town of Skipton — “The Gateway to the Dales” — with its historic castle and celebrated high street. On the border of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this is an ideal location for walking, cycling and touring.

Region
From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?

After a shocking journey to the lodge (broke down and had to wait 3.5 hours for RAC in Bradford with a 6 month old on board). We finally reached the lodge. After being in the rain in a cold car for hours, the heated lodge was a welcome sight. The rooms are beautifully decorated, extremely clean with comfortable beds and sofa. Kitchen was well equipped along with a utility room. Lots of information on the local area provided and also the lodge facilities. Our only issue was how to work the bedroom TV. I knew from reading previous reviews this was linked with the living room, but we couldn't figure it out until the second night. Instructions would have been helpful. Also the code to leave the lodge park was different , which we weren't informed of. All in all though, really lovely place. Would certainly recommend.

Excellent lodge on a small site on the edge of Gargrave. The lodge is clean, well laid out and fairly well equipped. Only a 10 minute walk into Gargrave but away from the main road. Excellent pub in 10 minutes walk (The Masons Arms) highly recommended for food but prob need to book, CO-OP store and decent Fish and Chip shop. The accommodation is good with some minor issues....The TVs in the bedrooms are surplus to requirements as they only work off the main TV in the lounge so that has to be on and you can only only watch what is on that. The living space has plenty of blinds yet the 2 bedrooms have no blinds or net curtains which can be a privacy issue. Comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, decent kitchen equipment and utility room. Nice decking with furniture.

Fabulous cottage in sweet village close to Skipton & Malham.. Wonderful unspoilt wild Dales within 15-30mins drive.

The only downside was the lack of WiFi..

This lodge was excellent and exceeded our expectations.. The local facilities in Gargrave and the surrounding area made for a very enjoyable break with several walks. I would say that the standard of finish in the lodge was to a high standard and the addition of a Christmas tree for the time of year was a touch of class. Thank you very much.

Fabulous holiday lodge, really lovely location.. Needs another armchair in order to seat 4 adults comfortably.

The lodge was as lovely as expected.. However, we agree with previous comments that an extra chair would be a good addition for four guests and that the heating settings need to be altered. Why have it come on so early in the morning and it not be on until later in the afternoon? The lighting over the dining table didn’t work and neither did the DVD player which weren’t major issues but still need fixing. All in all a very nice place to spend a few days. We would recommend the Masons Arms - had a lovely meal there.

A lovely week in the most amazing accomodation, Only 2 queries: 1. despite 3 televisions in 3 three different areas you could only watch what was on the main television in the lounge area ? 2. We found the central heating settings very bizarre. Did not come on during the day which at times was quite chilly but would switch on at 5am when not needed. However extremely small details for what can only be described as an amazing week in the most amazing high standard accomodation we have stayed in. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone. Thank you.

A beautiful, immaculately clean lodge in a fabulous location for exploring the Dales.. We found the fact that there was no wi-fi a bonus for us as it got the kids off their gadgets! Happy to recommend.

Squirrel Lodge Milton Park was absolutely amazing, all modern.. in the middle of fields lovely peace and quiet, not to far away from the shops and amenities. We will return again

What a wonderful Lodge.. I had high expectations before arrival but was not prepared for how beautiful and well equipped this Lodge was. We took our grandchildren 8 and 5. There was so much to do with them in this area, all within a stones throw away. Will certainly return.

Squirrel Lodge in Skipton, Yorkshire was so beautiful and it had everything you could wish for.. It was comfortable, modern and definately exceeded our expectations. Only thing wrong was that the weeks holiday went to fast.

What more can we say? Lovely lodge, clean, well equipped. Even an outside tap to rinse off our waterproof trousers. Absolutely nothing to fault. We had a wonderful holiday despite the weather in March 2018!

- Good communications before and during the visit from Mrs Preston, thank you.. - The instruction sheets for the TV, microwave, oven, etc were excellent! The TV system is a bit cumbersome, so the instruction sheet helped. But there was no sheet for the bedroom TV, so we had to work out that it was fed by the unit in the sitting room. - The sitting room could do with a second armchair for when there are four people.

Excellent Lodge on a quiet new park, Very clean and the facilities are perfect.. Only 4 lodges are currently finished and it looks like there a r eplots for around another 11 or 12. There is a 10 minute walk to the Masons Arms which serves very good food. There is also and Indian resturant. Good for walking the Leeds/Liverpool canal into Skipton and the Pennine way.

Even though the photos are great they really don’t do this lodge justice.. It certainly has the wow factor, very high-end finish with absolutely everything you could need. Great location for exploring North Yorkshire, short distance to the Dales, Bolton Abbey, and Harrogate. Most of all the host is just wonderful, so incredibly helpful!!

Just returned from a lovely weekend away at this beautiful lodge. It was absolutely perfect for us. Everything was finished to such a high standard and also felt homely and cosey. It was a brilliant location as Well with pubs, restaurants and convenience stores just down the road from us. We would deffinitly recommend squirrel lodge and will hopefully return ourselves sometime soon. The only thing it could have done with I's wifii but apart from that it was perfect. Thank you for the lovely weekend.

A bit disappointed with one of the rules.. We had frozen a curry sauce we were going to use but we're not allowed to. Apart from that no problems.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the lodge was fabulous and location was great.. Getting around was easy and there were plenty of places to visit.
