Holly Tree Lodges

Holly Tree Lodges is a self-catering accommodation site on Murton Way in Osbaldwick, with eight Finnish-style lodges arranged around private lakes. The setting combines a countryside atmosphere with practical access to York, which is around 15 minutes away. Each lodge is designed as a quiet base for guests seeking time outdoors, relaxed evenings and the flexibility of an independent stay.

The lodges have an open-plan kitchen and living area, a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, making each suitable for up to four guests. The layout works for couples, families and small groups who prefer shared living space alongside separate bedrooms. Scandinavian design influences the interiors, with a simple, considered feel and fittings selected to support comfortable stays rather than formal hotel living.

Every lodge has its own outdoor terrace and hot tub beside a private lake. The terraces provide an additional space for sitting outside, while the hot tubs add a private wellness element to the accommodation. Six of the lodges also include an in-bathroom sauna, giving those units an extra indoor facility for winding down after time exploring the surrounding area.

Two lodges have been adapted for wheelchair-using guests. These accessible options include adapted hot tubs and specifications designed around accessible use. Lodge features vary, so choosing a suitable unit is important when accessibility or specific facilities are part of the stay. Pet policies also vary between lodges, with some welcoming pets and others reserved for guests travelling without them.

The accommodation follows a self-contained format, with kitchens allowing guests to organise meals around their own schedule. That makes Holly Tree Lodges suitable for stays centred on privacy, outdoor space and a slower pace, while the nearby city offers an option for sightseeing, shopping and dining away from the site. The private lake settings help distinguish each lodge from a conventional hotel room, without taking the accommodation away from the convenience of road access and a nearby urban destination.

Holly Tree Lodges suits couples looking for a short break, families wanting separate sleeping areas, small groups sharing a lodge and wheelchair users seeking adapted accommodation. The combination of Scandinavian styling, private outdoor space, hot tubs and selected sauna facilities gives the site a clear focus on restful, independent lodge stays in a rural setting close to the city.
