Wonderful stay in a gorgeous place. The Stables were cosy, clean and very well presented. Really good spot for accessing lots of different places to visit. We loved the hot tub!! James was a great host Highly recommend Mackinder Farms.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at James' place! A beautiful wooden lodge in an unbelievably peaceful and well-kept setting.

Amazing! So quiet relaxing and cozy! Absolutely what you need for a little reset, lovely villages near by, hard to get a taxi but the stay was worth it! Brilliant hosts, checking in and out was easy. Good welcome pack with some good local information. Only 20-30 minute drive to York Centre. Overall brilliant stay, would definitely book again!

Really friendly lady met us there really clean such a nice place great value for money will go again

Place was perfect so chilled out, just what we need for a little family break. James was great and very helpful, definitely will be booking in again. Recommend the fox in for food but make sure you a hungry as portions are massive.

Loved every minute, perfect get away will be coming back soon 😁

Just returned home from a stay at Woodcock Lodge. We had a fantastic time. The lodge was beautiful and the walks on the canal with the dog (and to the pub!) were perfect. Many thanks to James and team. We look forward to returning again soon!

Our second visit to this site and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The hosts, James and Penny are helpful, friendly and flexible in the way they accommodate the needs of clients.

Our second visit to this site and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The hosts, James and Penny are helpful, friendly and flexible in the way they accommodate the needs of clients. They are professional yet friendly in a way that makes you feel part of the family. We have stayed in a log cabin on site and also one of the cottages. They are roomy, well equipped and very comfortable. The position of each allows one to fee a sense of privacy despite there being other accommodation around you. The cabins and cottages are set in a beautiful space ideal for dog owners and families with children. There are safe, open grassed areas within the compound ideal for dogs and children to be exercised. Next to the site there are also walks of varying lengths which are flat and perfect for a longer leg stretch. I would have no hesitation in recommending this site to couples and families. Less

Lovely place to stay! Had a very nice 2 nights here will definitely be returning

They all said how comfortable, clean and faultless the properties were and will be wanting to stay there again whilst visiting. One of the families had a toddler and they loved having a walk about round the site following the ducks and rabbits, a much nicer experience than a premier inn. So glad we have discovered this hidden gem on our doorstep. Less

We stayed in Kingfisher lodge, it was lovely and clean and peaceful with plenty of outside space for the dogs to run around. It was lovely to be close to nature and see the wildlife at the lodge, swallow nests, deer and hares through the windows. James was amazing, looking after us, ensuring the hot tub was well maintained, and offering advice on things nearby. Can't wait to come back.

I booked the Hayloft & the Forge for our annual Xmas get together. Ten of us had such a great time in the spacious converted barns.

We took our own board/party games for the evenings, wrapped up warm to walk on the canal path to Selby's Xmas market & had lovely meals at 2 local pubs. We can't wait to go back!

Quick to respond to any queries and happy to help, eg, allowing our kids access prior to arrival so they could decorate the lodge for Granny, very much appreciated. Lodge grounds are lovely with lodges well spaced, too many places cram ‘em in, not so here👍 The lodge itself was immaculately clean and tidy, well equipped and the beds very comfy. And I was particularly pleased to find Jamie has recently installed an 2 socket ev charge point on site, which was perfect for me👍👍 All in all, great place, lovely weekend, strongly recommend 👍👍👍 Graeme Dentith Less

Beautiful and stunning setting. Has the wow factor. James had thought of every minute detail to make our visit enjoyable. Wish we had longer. Will definitely be back!!

Had a lovely weekend break at Mackinder Farms. James the host was very informative and helpful all through the process, the lodge itself was really clean and modern, the lodges are spread out far enough so you have privacy. The location is great with some lovely walks and not being far from York or Selby. We will definitely be staying again.

What a find! On arrival the lodge was absolutely immaculate, the owner came and spoke to us and was very welcoming. The rooms were spacious and the hot tub perfect. The welcome crate and spa slippers were a really lovely personal touch. Amazing place for a weekend of peace and quiet and will definitely be booking again.

Fantastic week for extended family group in 9 lodges and cottages. The accommodation and extensive grounds are beautifully kept and the kids were so happy going free range for the week. Hot tubs were also a big hit. The cottages and lodges were also very comfortable and convenient for older people with disabilities. We go away as a large family group every Easter. We have been to lovely places but usually one or two families have to take one for the team and put up with less than optimal accommodation. Not at Mackinder. Lodges and cottages are all beautiful, quiet, warm and comfortable. Even the knives in the kitchen are sharp. Mackinder’s location is also very convenient for us as we come from all over the country - Northumberland to Portsmouth via the Welsh marches and no one had more than a 3 hour drive to get here. We have booked to go again next year. Less

Beautiful 4 day stay here peaceful and relaxing. accommodation was spacious and well laid out, the welcome basket was lovely hot tubs well maintained would highly recommend

A lovely place. Perfect for dog walkers and good amenities. Highly recommended

We had a fabulous weekend here with hot tub and the cabin itself is fully equipped with everything Inc a welcome pack extra towels and a warm welcome I would highly recommend

Romantic Getaway What can I say. This place is absolutely amazing. We stayed in Woodcock Lodge, its amazing. James was so attentive, looking after us and the hot tub was brilliant. We will definitely be back 😀😀

Under the sad circumstances as to why we were visiting staying at the Hayloft was a pleasure. The accommodation was absolutely spot on and so comfortable. James was so attentive and helpful. I would most definitely recommend the property to my friends.

Stayed in the Woodcock Lodge for a few days over the Christmas period. The lodge was excellent with added little extra touches including a welcome basket and Christmas Tree which made it even more special. James was so welcoming on arrival and was very knowledgeable advising on walks in the area. We had a lovely relaxing few day's just what we need. Thank you James, see you when we book again.

Had a fabulous weekend staying in Partridge Lodge - excellent all round, lovely lodge and hot tub with everything you need including a very thoughtful welcome box, lovely site, good walks and James and Dom were brilliant. Would highly recommend and we are already booking to go back in April

Just spent a lovely relaxing 3 nights in the cosy pod, great welcome pack on arrival with luxurious goodies to start, the pod exceeded our expectations, quiet private location yet plenty to see and do locally, great host who was very friendly and knowledgeable and accessible but discreet, perfect, would definitely book again and recommend to all

An amazing stay at The Forge cottage, it was even decorated with a Christmas tree to give it that extra holiday feel! We will definitely be back and would love a summer stay next time so we can also experience the lovely garden and walks

Absolutely beautiful place, couldn't fault a single thing! The log was so clean and tidy. James couldn't do a enough for us, great host! Such nice touches when we arrived like the welcome basket and fresh milk in the fridge and as we was celebrating our birthdays we had some wine there waiting for us as well! We can't wait to come back in the summer!

Just spent a wonderful weekend in the Pheasant Lodge. Clean, spacious, well equipped and very warm. Tea, coffee and biscuits supplied. The hot tub was fabulous, not overlooked. Very dog friendly. James was very welcoming. First class weekend. Will definitely book again. And will highly recommend to family and friends.

A lovely weekend break staying in The Hayloft to avoid the relentless sound of fireworks in our home town. Wonderful accommodation with a fully equipped kitchen, a fantastic welcome hamper and the luxury of our own private hot tub. This was our second visit and it certainly won't be our last!

Lovely relaxing cosy retreat The hot tub was delightful especially with all the lights off looking at the stars The lodge was clean comfortable and with everything you need for a great stay The welcome pack is one of the best we have seen too James is a great host and we would wholeheartedly recommend a stay - we will certainly be back Winnie our pup enjoyed it too 🐶❤️

Had the chance to stay in the woodcock pod last. James the host is very accomadating every little detail thought of in the pod. such a relaxing night spent here will definitely be recommending to friends and family and can't wait to come back

Lovely spacious log cabins. The owners were chatty and helpful without being intrusive. Made a great base for days out in Leeds and York. Handy enough for supermarkets in Selby but peaceful and calm on site. Hot tub was great and plenty warm enough even at the end of October. Thanks for a lovely break.

We enjoyed our stay in the spacious and comfortable Kingfisher lodge. The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful surroundings of North Yorkshire with easy access to major routes and country lanes alike. The flexibility around change over days was a real bonus for us as was the friendly but private feel to the site.

Well equipped cabin in a beautiful, peaceful setting. We really enjoyed our stay and the convivial host!

A beautiful site and excellent hosts for our family's visit for our wedding. The perfect place for a long weekend for those that had travelled a long way

Stayed here for a week and cannot fault the place. If you are looking for a quiet out of the way place this is it. Lovely big towels were supplied along with a smaller towel and a towel to use for the spa. Spacious and comfortable. Plenty of space for kids and dogs to run around and play. Highly recommended.

We have been coming here for the last 10 years and just love it. It’s quiet and relaxing with plenty of walks for the dogs. James is a great host who works hard to keep the site clean and tidy and nothing is too much trouble . Would highly recommend. We have already booked again for next year.

As always a great place to visit . Lovely accommodation & surroundings

As always a lovely warm welcome awaits.

1st time we have used the farm, We stopped in the Stables cottage. Very clean and spacious, Owner is very sociable , Jacuzzis was very clean and temperature of the water was always warm to hot and checked twice aday.

Beautiful log cabins in a perfect location. James the owner can't do enough for you and nothing is to much trouble for him. Would definitely recommend Mackinder Farms and we will definitely be back.

Great stay. First class accommodation in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended

What a great place, James the owner is a very good host and takes great pride in looking after his guests as well as everything else, excellent comfortable lodges and superb hot tub, we will definitely return

Such a lovely welcome to Yorkshire. Having returned to England with two small dogs - renting fully furnished accommodation was extremely difficult. A comfortable log cabin in a country farm environment was perfect. James kindly went out of his way to extend our accommodation when a house sale fell through. We can highly recommend Mackinder holiday Farm.

Incredible accommodation, great location and a fantastic host - we will definitely be returning.

Brilliant cabins. Good host and very helpful. Will book again.

Peaceful place with lots of wildlife

Lovely accommodation in peaceful surroundings

Private hot tub, log burner in a stunning fireplace, high ceilings with beautiful beams, underfloor heating, a tasteful kitchen with comfy sofas and 2 spacious bedrooms. Perfect for our anniversary getaway

Great accomodation in very pleasant and quiet surroundings. Our accomodation was very clean and well appointed. Would highly recommend

Perfect for peace and quiet .

We have just finished a lovely relaxing weekend in The Forge. Hoping to return soon. The Hulmes 👍

Well presented barn conversion, well equipped

Beautiful converted barn, warm and cosy. Owners were on hand to answer any questions and all accommodation was clean and well equipped. Highly recommended

Had an amazing week staying with family in two lodges. They had thought of everything with regards to irons, lint rollers, slippers, complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits and wine! Lodges were clean and warm and perfectly at peace with the countryside. Would definitely recommend the accommodation to anyone.

The bedrooms are good sizes and the kitchen in very well equipped. James and the team put up birthday decorations for me in the lodge for my boyfriends' 30th, that I had sent over. We also got a hamper delivered from a local supplier that I had ordered and it was already in the lodge on our arrival. The hot tub is lovely for those cold winter nights and James is always making sure it is safe and clean. Cannot wait to go back next year! Thanks :) x Less

Everything is eco friendly. Even the complimentary tea and coffee is fair trade. Very quiet, which is what we wanted, and we were even able to bring our dog. James is a great bloke,very friendly and helpful.

A fantastic place to be. So well kept and great cabins

Nice and quiet! Beds comfy and everything you need! Even books to read!

This a great place for a break, so relaxing,plenty to do nearby,and these Log Cabins are brilliant.

Just back from 7 nights in the Forge, lovely accommodation, James is a great host, the cottage came with a bottle of milk and a nice bottle of wine. The cottage was lovely and clean and everything you could need was there, the whole site is in a quiet location, just right to unwind (especially in the hot tub!) but also close enough to various towns and sights, I would highly recommend this site ...

Amazing cabins for relaxing and the hot tubs are just the perfect way to end the night

The cabins are in a stunning location. They are all spaced out and very private. The cabins are really clean and spacious and James was really helpful when booking. We stayed for a girls weekend away and absolutely loved it l. Will definitely be coming back. 😊

Just returned from a weeks holiday in Stables Cottage at Mackinder farms. The cottage was lovely and very clean with a great enclosed garden, perfect for our dog and for playing games with the kids. The grounds were lovely and there are some great walks nearby. The staff were very friendly. A great base for exploring North Yorkshire 😊

Another Amazing week at Mackinder farms! This time we stayed in the forge which was beautiful. Already talking about coming back for a 3rd visit. Such beautiful surroundings and peaceful place to stay!

Well kept

We've had a brilliant stay in the Forge cottage. It's a perfect getaway and James was an excellent host that has thought of every little detail to make your stay more enjoyable. Thanks

Excellent accommodation for a short break. Clean and warm, with a brilliant hot tub! Well spaced log cabins give you privacy from other holiday makers, and park your car right outside. A very friendly owner who is available if you need him, but leaves you alone to do your own thing. Situated in the countryside with easy access by car to Leeds and York.

A very friendly owner who is available if you need him, but leaves you alone to do your own thing. Situated in the countryside with easy access by car to Leeds and York. Walks close by if you prefer, and the owner even left an ordnance survey map to borrow! My family of six stayed over Christmas, and had a fantastic time. I would highly recommend 👍. Less
