ABOUT US

You can be assured of a warm welcome on arrival and a personal touch throughout your stay. Family run and set within the grounds of an old hunting lodge dating back to the Duke of Sutherland.

Whether you’re curious about the boundary cross on our grounds, booking all the huts for five couples for a celebration, or even just what type of fish we have, we’re here to answer any questions.

02/07/2022... read more From the moment we arrived at Hart Lake escapes me and my partner both knew we would love it. We have had the most amazing time here. Andrew, Clare & family made us feel so welcome and have been the perfect hosts, even offering a complimentary jubilee afternoon tea! (Which was amazing) The shepherds huts are perfect, everything has been so well thought about and you can really tell they have put their heart into these huts. They come equipped with everything you need for your stay with great touches such as the Bluetooth speaker and wireless chargers! (Fab) plus much more! The wood fired hot tub is an absolute bonus and is perfect size for the 2 of you. Our welcome hamper was lovely, with really nice produce included. We stayed in the Hollow which is really private (as are the other huts) and in such a lovely location right next to the lake. Hartlake is in a great location overall with both York and Malton close by, with bus stops located just outside Hart lake meaning you can stay parked up and venture out & you can find lots of great things to do within the books and welcome pack left in your hut. There’s a great fish and chip shop just down the road which we then enjoyed sat on the picnic benches by the lake. I would 100% recommend & will be recommending Hartlake Escapes to everyone, and we can’t wait to come back in August! 💗

07/08/2022... read more We followed Hart Lake Escapes journey on Facebook and we booked our stay as soon as they became available....and WOW we was not dissapointed. Luxury accommodation with private hot tub allready for when we arrived.. There is nothing they haven't thought off..all the extra little touches just made it all that much special. I had the privilege of being the first to fish there and was lucky enough to reel some in with plenty that got away from me too. Clare and Andrew were wonderful hosts..friendly and informative..nothing was too much trouble for them they went above and beyond for us. We both definitely recommend this place for any couple who want a relaxing break and we hope to be back soon..if they arent fully booked up by then that is 😁 Thankyou both so much xx

22/08/2022... read more Absolutely perfect!! 🙂 A little piece of heaven with a boutique hotel feel. The hosts, Andrew and Clare were both so welcoming and accommodating, they could not do enough for us during our stay, they went above and beyond and everything was offered with a personal touch. The setting was tranquil as we watched blue dragonfly’s skip across the water, thoughtfully and immaculately detailed to a high specification as were the individual huts with high end toiletries, bathrobes and facilities which surpass hotel standards, every little detail has been considered!! The bonus of a secluded and private hot tub which framed the starry night sky nestled in whispering trees, firefly lights and babbling water fountains surrounding a private lake completed an absolutely perfect holiday and birthday which we will never forget 🥰 🎂This accommodation is particularly special for anyone wanting to make beautiful memories ❤️

08/07/2022... read more Luxurious shepherd huts nestled in a natural woodland next to the lake. Very well appointed with all mod cons you might expect to find at home or in a luxury hotel. There’s the cutest log burner that really adds to the cosy atmosphere. Our welcome hamper was excellent and full of quality local produce. The log fired hot tub had been pre-warmed prior to our arrival which was a nice touch and we got to enjoy it straight away. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend Hart Lake Escapes if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

I recommend having one of their slow cooked meals ready for when you arrive. We had the beef in Guinness sauce was absolutely beautiful. Thanks Andrew and Claire for a truly wonderful time. Cu you in July🙂🙂

The hut was incredible, it had everything you could possibly need for a short break away and the surrounding area is just stunning. It was very clear Andrew & Clare have put a lot of thought into the huts, thank you for making our stay so special 🥰 Highly recommend! Can’t wait to visit again 😅

05/01/2023... read more Last weekend we spent the most wonderful anniversary weekend at Hart Lake Escapes. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing, serene and romantic place to ‘get away from it all’. Andrew and Clare were the perfect hosts (even an anniversary card and Prosecco on arrival!!!). The wood fired hot tub is bliss! And watching the stars whilst relaxing in it was unforgettable! ‘The Nest’ was very well equipped and was cosy and very comfortable. I can not recommend Hart Lake Escapes enough - we will certainly be returning and next time we may even bring friends to have huts next to each other!
