Tucked away in the heart of mature woodland on Sandburn Hall estate, just 8 miles from York and offering a haven of peace and tranquillity to visitors and wildlife alike, Griffon Forest is the perfect hideaway. Each oak lodge boasts its own setting enhanced by cosy interiors, spacious open plan living and home comforts of a well-equipped kitchen, modern bathroom, welcome touches, and free Wi-Fi.

Unwind in the comfort of your lodge surrounded by a haven of birds, animals and plants right on your doorstep. Take in the night sky star gazing from your outdoor hot tub to complete the relaxing experience. Wild Watch cameras can beam live footage of Griffon Forest’s abundant wildlife to your TV and if you’re very lucky you may be visited by the resident badgers searching the forest for food, directly outside your lodge. Explore the walks, cycle paths, 18-hole golf course* and a coarse fishing lake*, all available on the Estate. Take a short walk to Tykes Restaurant, offering good food made from local produce in a friendly atmosphere or visit Sandburn Hall’s Sports Bar to watch the game and enjoy drinks or a bar snack. Residents receive 10% discount off food and drinks in both, and dogs are welcome.
