Perfect!
Our family have a lodge on here, so it was perfect for us to stay so close! We had our own comfortable, warm and welcoming space, but could all be together during the days.
A lovely lodge with everything we needed!

Great Lodge, clean, tidy & everything you will ever need.
Hollicars lodges are all fantastic, this is our 3rd stay and we have been in 3 separate lodges, all clean and all to a high standard, Hares Leap was no exception and was very clean and tidy. The hottub is a hit with my teenage daughters which was used every night and the location is superb for York. for a 2 bedroom lodge it is ideal for 4 with plenty of room.

Really lovely break
Peaceful surroundings. Well kept park with lovely staff. Lodge was very nice and well equipped.
This was our second visit and we have booked again for May, but a different lodge. It seems a bit pricey but likely to be in line with other lodges; and it is very nice. We have visited this lodge twice now. The owners have really thought about the decor and its relation to its name.
Staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble. Hot-tub checked daily and standards maintained with no fuss.

About the host
Hosted by Host
Hollicarrs Holiday Park is part of the historic Escrick Park Estate, which has been in the same family for over 350 years. Its very much a family run business and all of our staff are an intergral part of keeping the Estate and the Holiday Park running smoothly.
Nature and conservation are of paramount importance to the Hollicarrs team, and you will see this for yourself the moment you step onto the holiday park. We have held the David Bellamy Gold Award for Conservation since opening the park in 2005.
All holiday lodges are privately owned, and Hollicarrs acts as an agent for the sub-letting of lodges.
