About Kingfisher Lodge

This delightful lodge is just outside the village of Brandesburton in the East Riding of Yorkshire. A stay at this lovely lodge is a perfect excuse to be pampered and relaxed.

The accommodation offers such flexibility it will be perfect for most guests. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with an en-suite shower and patio doors onto a breakfast terrace.

The second bedroom offers a luxurious super king-size bed cleverly converting to two full-size single beds. This fabulous lodge has an open plan living space ideal for keeping the cook company!

Outside this lovely lodge there is a secure, enclosed, pet-friendly garden with an undercover hot tub, gas BBQ and pastoral views all around, you would be forgiven for not leaving the lodge during your stay! You may be rewarded by the sight of a streak of blue as a Kingfisher flies by the owner's pond.

You will almost certainly see rabbits, kestrels and buzzards. The Yorkshire coast is virtually on the doorstep offering sandy beaches, towering cliffs and traditional seaside towns complete with promenades!

Getting on your bike is a great way to explore this wonderful county and although there are some exciting cycling challenges, for those who prefer a gentler pace, the Yorkshire Wolds circular trail takes in many charming villages and the coastline around Bridlington. Beverley is one of the jewels in Yorkshire's crown.

Voted as one of the best places to live in the UK, the town is renowned for its 13th century minster and its excellent flat racing.

Kingfisher Lodge Reviews

Fabulous stay in spotlessly clean cabin. Super comfy beds & couch with 5star under cover hot tub. Complete dog secure garden. Great location for exploring the coast line. Couldnt fault in any way.

Our third visit to Kingfisher Lodge and just like the other two visits everything about the place was perfect for us. Very peaceful due to being set well back from the road and the garden is private as well as being totally secure for our dog to enjoy. If you are looking for somewhere to chill out this lodge is the place to go. The owners Alison & John will be there if you need them, and they have always ensured we have settled in before leaving us to relax. No doubt we will book again.

Amanda

Absolutely lovely place, very welcoming. Dog friendly and he loved it. Spacious and spotless.

Fantastic place. Perfect for dogs with the enclosed garden. Lovely owners. Plenty of places to visit and activities to do. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you Ali x

Duncan

All parts clean and we had everything we needed. Garden very secure and dog friendly. Owners very friendly and helpful. Due to unforseen circumstances we had to leave early. Ali the owner was fantastic and took the pressure off us and for that we are eternally grateful. A great holiday and we would recommend Kingfisher Lodge to anyone.

Louise

Didn't actually stay in kingfisher lodge as there was an booking error however we stayed in the meadowbank lodge and it was absolutely amazing. From first walking in the door we knew it was going to be fantastic, a proper home from home and the weather made it even more amazing. The goodies on arrival were greatly appreciated and absolutely delicious. We got back yesterday afternoon and have already looked at dates for next year and the year after as we enjoyed our stay so much. The enclosed garden made it brilliant for our little dog and we could relax knowing he was safely able to play and run around without worrying he would get out. 5 stars all the way absolutely fantastic can't wait to come back. Will be definitely recommending to family and friends

Christine

Fantastic lodge with every home comfort. Ali and John were brilliant hosts and helped us with a small problem.

The Kingfisher Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. A home from home, which is clean, beautifully decorated and relaxing. The hot tub is amazing and with the secure garden you don't need to worry when the pooch goes exploring in the garden. Within 15 minutes drive from the coast and lovely dog walks around. John and Ali are amazing, friendly hosts and ensure you have everything you need, leaving little touches which are much appreciated when you first arrive and ensure you are happy and settled. This is our 2nd visit here and I am sure it won't be our last. Would definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic week at kingfisher Lodge. So clean and cosy on arrival with welcome cakes and wine to greet us. Lovely quiet location with lots to do nearby. Hot tub amazing to relax in every evening. Will definately return again.

Amazing stay. Lovely place really nice and clean, we were 2 couples, plenty of space for everyone. Treats for the dogs on arrival was a lovely touch. Had everything you could think of needed for a weekend away. 5

Christine

Lovely place so private and peaceful. Everything there that we needed. Very clean and comfortable accommodation.loved all the pictures and ornaments that made it feel very homely. Lovely little touches like brownies , wine and apple juice for us to enjoy.very friendly owners.

A lovely lodge, with all creature comforts of home, owners make sure everything is to a high standard.

Nicola

A beautiful lodge, the nicest I have stayed at and a great location fir the many dog friendly beaches that are a short drive away. Hosts Ali and John were really friendly and welcoming with little treats waiting for us on our arrival. We all had a wonderful time.

Just returned from our third visit and it was excellent as always. Lodge spotless and has everything you need. Since our last stay a few things have changed, the new recling sofas are great nearly nodded off a few times on them and the new simba matress on the bed is so comfy. The brownies and dog treats always a nice little touch. Thanks again Ali see you next year.

Caroline

Lovely week. .nothing we did not like about the lodge everything was there we needed...Will book again in the future...Caroline..Jon and dogs...

Duncan

The pictures of Kingfisher Lodge do not do it justice. The owners Alli & John have put in an electric wood burner and two new reclining sofas which are very comfortable. The lodge was spotless and everything had been thought of to make the stay there as comfortable as possible. The garden for our little dog could not be bettered and it is totally secure, he absolutely loved it ! Alli and John are very helpful and friendly and any problems are very quickly rectified. We could not have had a better or more relaxing time in what is a very high end lodge and we would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked for next year !

Absolutely beautiful lodge. Cannot say one bad thing about it. It's perfect. Will definitely stay again.

Pauline

The property is first class, cleanliness was spot on and with the property being fully enclosed it made it easier for those that have a four legged friend that is an escape artist, it helped us to be able to relax. The only comments I would like to make is that the shower has no grab rails, and the other is that unfortunately the furniture was not comfortable as it looked

Wesley

Absolutely loved this lodge! Facilities spot on, hot tub amazing, little touches especially appreciated like doggy treats. Will definitely recommend

I cannot recommend The Kingfisher Lodge enough. Beautiful lodge, very comfortable and everything catered for. Our dog loved the run of his own garden and we were put at ease with how secure it was for him whilst we relaxed in the hot tub. The owners Ali and John are lovely and went out of their way to make our holiday as perfect as it was. We loved it that much we have already booked for next year

Rebecca

Looked just like the photos. The secluded plot allowed us to let the pooch out without worry. Lovely touches when arrived and owners on hand to help. Really lovely relaxing stay.

Keeley

We had a lovely stay. The lodge had everything we needed. Alison popped in to say hi which was lovely and I felt assured anything I needed would be covered. The enclosed garden was fantastic for our dogs and removed any stress of them getting out. We would definitely book again.

Rachel

Me and my wife had a wonderful time here with our two dogs for our mini honeymoon! It was an amazing break away after the chaos of a wedding day. One of the best lodges weve ever been to and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Lodge excellently equipped, very clean, quiet and private, great hot tub undercover so when it rain you can still use tub. Only very slight issue with heating pipes banging in morning mentioned it to owners and they said they would sort it We would definitely return had a great week away and definitely recommend the lodge.

It's a really nice and tranquil place to be. The landlords are really prompt in solving issues. Overall, we were very pleased

Our second visit and we have just finished booking again for next year as we dont want to miss out on this gem getting booked up. Excellent place to stay and the welcome treats a really nice touch the kids loved the home grown apple juice and brownies. Ali always lovely and welcoming.

The personal touch of the homemade brownie and apple juice was a lovely touch had a lovely holiday the lodge was even better in real life than the pictures would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break.

The lodge was fantastic we have a 2 year old and it was fully enclosed so we had no worry that she would get out and on to the road, it was nice to be able to relax knowing she couldnt escape, the lodge was so clean and well looked after by the owners Ali, John and Sasha.

WOW what a place 5 star .

Philip

Everything was perfect from the lodge to the owners and family,would recommend to anyone.

Excellent location, excellent facilities and fantastic hosts , a great base for exploring,

Fabulous lodge in a quiet location and being family run always help on hand if needed. The lodge was not overlooked affording total privacy with a large outside area which was completely secure allowing our family dog to wander without worry.Loved it so much have already booked for next year.

Lovely spacious lodge with a hottub . .. whats more to say. This was our second stay in Kingfisher lodge, and we will be back for future visits.

Kirsty

Stunning lodge, it felt like a home away from home. The fully enclosed garden was brilliant for the dogs, as could just let them out and no have to worry about them getting out. The hosts Ali and John were so friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend staying here.

Rosemary

Lovely lodge with everything you could need. Peaceful location and great for your dogs. Nearby pubs and store and takeaways. Very relaxing holiday.

Kingfisher lodge was comfortable and very clean and well equipped with a brilliant hot tub. the enclosed garden was excellent for our dog. a quiet location with access to dog friendly pubs.A good holiday.

Amazing lodge probably the best one we have stayed in. Everything has been thought of. Owners lovely. Looking forward to going again soon

A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money. Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs. Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy.

Referred to as the number one attraction in the area highlights include capuchin monkeys, meerkats, ring tailed lemur and for the children African pygmy goats. The tropical house features Red Eared and other Terrapins from North America and goldfish amongst other things. We think The Jungle Zoo represents excellent value for money too. We recommend a whole day to explore this attraction and ensure you get to see all of the animals resident there.
