Whether it’s a family or romantic retreat you’re looking to escape on, Snainton luxury lodges offer a great holiday in an ideal location. Relax outside to soak up the sun or admire the beautiful countryside views from your accommodation’s own hot tub – it’s up to you! 

This boutique destination in North Yorkshire will be particularly admired by keen golfers and outdoor lovers thanks to the golf course adjoining the park. Join in on a game or join in the walk to explore the landscapes. 

Whilst Snainton Luxury Lodges offer a wide variety of lodge types, we particularly love the Fairway Views VIP lodge. Sleeping four people (one bedroom ideally with twin beds, great for those travelling with children) there’s plenty of space to bring everyone along to enjoy the North Yorkshire countryside. Enjoy a dip in the hot tub, before getting cosy in the robe and slippers provided and winding down for the evening. It’s the perfect way to end the day!

But don’t feel like you’re limited to Snainton – Scarborough is just roughly a thirty-minute drive away after all, and there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained there too. Historians can visit Scarborough castle, home to three thousand years of history including Iron Age settlements and a medieval chapel. Explore the on-site exhibition to learn more about its development by Henry II and King John, or simply relax and admire the views across the north and south bays of Scarborough with an ice cream. Remember to check what’s on before your visit, particularly for seasonal events like the ghost tours over Halloween – sure to ensure that you see plenty of ghastly ghouls on your visit, and great for those travelling with older children (16+) or friends. 

Looking for a bit more adventure? Why not visit Scarborough’s only amusement park Luna Park Funfair! It’s a great option for those on holiday with families thanks to the range of rides suiting the brave and bold, as well as those who’d prefer their thrills on the calmer side. Or watch from the side-lines with a classic chunk of candyfloss. See the views from the Ferris wheel or get competitive on the bumper cars, it’s fantastic for enjoying some quality time together as a family. And at just a quick twenty-five-minute drive from Snainton, there’ll be plenty of the day left to explore and enjoy what the Funfair has to offer, or explore Scarborough castle, just a short walk away. 

Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park is roughly just a thirty-minute drive away and an ideal spot to enjoy any good weather that might come your way on holiday. Animal enthusiasts can meet creatures great and small, from alpacas and giant rabbits to wallabies and donkeys, or take flight to visit their range of exotic birds including tiny finches and tall rheas! Meanwhile, budding gardeners should have a wander around the three gardens on-site.

The Formal Garden has plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the views and sounds from the aviaries, whilst younger guests can let their imagination run wild around the secret garden which is only accessible of course though the secret door within the formal gardens! Finally, the sensory garden is an ideal spot for children to become more accustomed to contrasting colours, shapes, sounds, smells, and textures. Don’t forget to stop off for a bite to eat at the on-site café and find a souvenir to take home from the gift shop before returning to your Snainton lodge for a well-deserved rest.
