About
Holly Tree Lodges
Holly Tree Lodges sits at Holly Tree Farm in Osbaldwick, a few miles from York city centre. It’s a small, self-catering setup where guests get a whole house to themselves — the Two-Bedroom House is the main unit. Each lodge comes with a private hot tub and sauna, which guests talk about more than anything else.
The interiors are described as spotless, modern, and warm. The kitchen is equipped with cookware and utensils, and the fridge comes stocked with tea, coffee, and milk — a detail that keeps coming up in reviews. There’s free Wi-Fi in public areas, free parking on site, and the whole property is non-smoking. Pets aren’t allowed.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
5 reasons to book- Private hot tub and sauna — Every guest stay highlights the private hot tub and sauna as the standout feature — consistently described as fantastic, private, and perfect for relaxing after a day out.
- Immaculate cleanliness — Guests repeatedly use words like 'super clean', 'sparkling clean', and 'spotless' when describing the lodges, and this is supported by the near-perfect room rating.
- Thoughtful extras — Tea, coffee, and milk are left in the fridge, and toiletries are provided in the rooms — small touches that reviewers call out as a pleasant surprise after travelling.
- Well-equipped for self-catering — Each lodge has a kitchen with cookware and utensils, and at least one unit has a fridge and microwave — enough to make your own meals during a longer stay.
- Free on-site parking — A car park is available on site, which takes the stress out of arriving by car and exploring the wider North Yorkshire area.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you’re hoping to bring a dog or cat, this isn’t the place — the policy is strict no pets, so you’ll need to make other arrangements.
- Check-in is late afternoon and fixed — Check-in doesn’t start until 16:00 and the window ends at 23:59. If you’re arriving earlier in the day, you’ll need to plan for a wait or find something to do until then.
- Limited dining on site — There’s no restaurant or bar listed, so you’ll be self-catering – the kitchen is well equipped, but you’ll need to shop and cook or head into York for meals.
- No Wi-Fi in rooms — Free Wi-Fi is only mentioned in public areas, not in the lodges themselves. If you need to work or stream, you may be dependent on mobile data or common areas.
- Price reflects the premium — At 305 GBP per night, it’s a higher price tag for a lodge, and while guests think it’s worth it, value isn’t the main draw – you’re paying for the hot tub, sauna, and privacy.

04 — Location
Getting around York
The property sits in York.
York city centre: The lodges are within a few kilometres of York’s historic core, so you can easily reach the Quilt Museum and Gallery, the Shambles, and York Minster – either on foot or after a short drive. Guests describe the location as 'in the middle of the city' – convenient and still quiet.
St Dulagh’s Church: One guest mentioned this church is about 4 km away – a doable walk or a quick drive if you’re curious, though it’s not a landmark we have detailed information on.
Getting around: Free on-site parking makes it easy to explore North Yorkshire by car. For day trips, you’re well placed for the Yorkshire Dales and the coast, but always check local travel advice.
