If you're looking for a luxurious lodge with an outdoor hot tub, try Paradise Wood View VIP. It sleeps six people and is tastefully furnished with a verandah and garden furniture.

Paradise Lakeside Lodges Reviews

"Venue its self was peaceful and relaxing with lovely views. Fishing was poor and had to pay to fish , with very little fish being caught . Check in time was 4pm so missed out on a days fishing and check out time was 9am so again missed out on a days fishing . Lodge was good and comfortable with all cooking utensils in good order . Was disappointed that we could only fish 3 days having booked a fishing holiday. No amenities on site ie pub /restaurant so had to travel for these ."
Philip - Sep 2024
"Wonderful park, excellent stay, owners lovely, very well maintained. Cant wait to return"
Deborah - Apr 2024
"I want to give a big shout out to paradise lakes in york. Its a beautiful gem of a holiday park. The lodges are fully equipped, warm and cozy.The site is immaculate with lots of birds and a resident hen who will happily follow you around. It's a family run business and they are welcoming and friendly. ??????"
Wendy - Mar 2024
"The Pods were clean and had everything you could need during your stay. It was warm and cosy and I loved the fact I had my own bathroom in the Pod. It was the perfect size for me and my one year old daughter."
Nichola - Mar 2024
"So pleased we stayed here. So peaceful, beautiful place to stay. Would definitely stay again. Ideal if you are into fishing, lake is just a few steps away from your hut door. Lots of wildlife, birds, ducks. Hut very clean has everything we needed for a few days stay. Thank you."
Rachel - Mar 2024
"Brilliant value for money for a four night stay. The bed was comfier than mind at home which is a massive plus. Very clean and very well looked after lodge with all the facilities you need other than dishwasher which isnt essential for just two people. The furniture was good although I feel like the leather sofa could do with an upgrade despite it still being really comfortable."

Jennifer - Aug 2020
"My wife & I had a lovely time relaxing and wish we could have stayed on. Nature was superb seem red deer & squirrels from our pod."
Paul - Aug 2020
"We loved the pods! They were really well equipped with everything you would need. The site itself is located in a really quiet location, perfect little get away but close enough to York. Everyone we met was helpful and cheerful! The price was also very cheap for August-We will definitely be returning!"
Melanie - Aug 2020
"Myself and my partner absolutely loved our stay! The pods were really cute and lovely, very warm in the day though after a hot day - maybe air con could be a consideration? The view of the lake every morning was a nice touch. There could be maybe more activities or a bar on site for the guests to chill out. Location is good off the main track down a country road, however, there isn't really anything to do within a 30 minute drive - especially with the bridge closed! Pocklington is a short drive away which is a nice village to visit to go to the local shop and chippy etc. York town centre is around 40 minutes and that is lovely! Staff are excellent, so friendly and helpful! I was on crutches while I was there and there were so helpful with us and helped us with our bags etc! Always happy to chat and share knowledge of the area and what to do etc - couldn't fault them. Value for money was excellent - Worked out about £72 for both of us for 4 nights which you can't really complain about! We are definitely going to be visiting again!!"
Charlie - Aug 2020

Also losing my stepfather was lovely to bring my mum along for some well deserved family time."

"just the perfect place to distress and unwind"
Angela - Aug 2020
"Great place, just what we wanted for a fishing holiday but don't need to fish for it to be a relaxing place to stay. Will definitely be returning."
Elaine - Jul 2020
"We had a great little holiday in the paradise pod. Bed was comfortable, all the appliances you really need were supplied, lake was great! Would definitely recommend! The only issue we had were that lots of flies kept coming into the pod! It would be handy if they had a fly screen or a fly zapper in the pod to make it even better."
Pam - Jul 2020
"Amazing place so quiet staff really helpfull can t wait to go again soon"
Mark - Aug 2022
"Was very surprised by the pod. Small but perfectly formed! Had everything you could need. Have stayed in the lodges before but the pods seemed to be more chilled and peaceful which is exactly what we needed after a pretty rough year."
Carolyn - Aug 2022
"Had a lovely time. The pod was pristine when we arrived. The grounds were lovely and peaceful. Being in the middle of nowhere there was a drive to get to places but that wasn't a problem, the tranquility was exactly what we were looking for. Will definitely be recommending to others."
Jessica - Aug 2022
"My son and mate thought it was great the fishing was fab can't wait to go again"

Nicola - Jul 2022
"Beautiful surroundings, very well designed pod in terms of utilising a small space as well as you can. Best pod we’ve been to and staff on arrival were outstanding. Definitely would visit again ???"
Jonathan - Jul 2022
"Absolutely beautiful place, fantastic pod & wonderful helpful staff especially Ralph! Will be visiting again, highly recommended"
Danielle - Jul 2022
"We booked up for the paradise pod the week before the summer holidays kicked off for most people, which made it exceptionally priced! The only issues we experienced were completely out of their control - the complete insufferable heatwave of 40°. The last two days we spent in the pod were amazing, lovely and cool and made it possible to fully relax. However, the beginning two days, the heat made it insufferable, the extreme heat made it difficult to sit in the pod as it felt like a sauna, and it was difficult to sit out due to the humidity and copious flies. We chose to use the pod as a base and spent a day in Bridlington (much cooler weather) and in York centre. Paradise pods would have been the best holiday we had ever had if it wasn’t for the heatwave which made our young daughter very ill. Be prepared to live out of a suitcase as the pods are very compact - however, if you are bit bothered about space then they are ideal. We will be booking up for next year, and hopefully missing any heatwave!"
Holly - Jul 2022
"Lovely little lodge in the country side nothing on site have to travel out in car, clean on arrival staff welcoming and explained everything only disadvantage was that we could not lock the doors as they were broken."
Charlotte - Jul 2022
"Lovely 4 day stay with the kids. Great location and super peaceful, well run park with helpful staff. Would definitely recommend."
Louise - Jul 2022
"If you want a proper break from the chaos this is perfect. Absolutely perfect for couples to just chill out and unwind. My husband and I felt so relaxed and chilled. It’s all lovely and clean and we organised. Just slide your cases under the bed and relax . The ducks were absolutely adorable. We loved it"
