Luxury lakeside lodges near York.
Owner-only, year-round, with private fishing.

Wow, wow, wow is all we can say about this beautiful place and the wonderful people here. Jim and Joanne are fantastic and extremely welcoming; we are new here but already feel very much a part of the Derwent Oaks family!

Thank you so much, everyone, for giving us a beautiful second home and a place to be a part of.

Really glad I found this lovely, peaceful park after looking at quite a lot – this was the best by far. Joanne was brilliant showing us around and answering all our many questions! The ground staff and people staying on the park are also really friendly and very welcoming. (There’s even a resident peacock named Pierre!)

An absolutely stunning location, and we are so excited to have found this beautiful place. It’s so different to most parks, as the lodges are spread out and purposefully positioned so that all have an amazing view of either the lake or the surrounding countryside. The lodges are not crammed in like sardines, like most parks we viewed. The park is currently under construction, but is still stunning, and the long-term plans and vision are absolutely amazing.

I personally highly recommend Derwent Oaks Lake & Country Park. Come for a look – you won’t be disappointed.

I would like to say thank you to Joanne for making my husband and me feel welcome. We had a look round the site and it was perfectly situated for us and our dog. We are very excited to become members of this beautiful park, where we know the people and staff are very friendly. See you very soon!

What an absolutely fantastic place to call home, a small lodge site perched on top of a lake with fantastic outstretched landscape views, surrounded by quaint small villages. The choice of lodges to place is whatever you fancy in line with the protocol of the site. The owners are building a small community environment atmosphere providing a bar/ restaurant as well as 2 well stocked fishing lakes.

Derwent Oaks offers so much more than quality lodges. From amazing sunsets to ever changing views of the countryside as the crops grow in the surrounding fields. There is an abundance of wildlife and even a resident peacock. If you’re lucky, you might get a glimpse of deer or hares darting across the fields. The lake is well stocked for those who like to fish. There are some scenic walks around the park and surrounding area. However, there is nothing better than relaxing on your verandah listening to the birdsong. It’s easy to forget that you’re only a few miles from the beautiful city of York.

Brilliant place close to York city centre, Pocklington, an hour from the coast, the people here are fantastic, I moved in in May and sadly my husband passed away in June but everyone was so friendly and supportive and still are, my lodge was full of flowers and cards even from some residents I had not even met, wonderful place after 11 years on a seasonal pitch it is the best decision I ever made, and the club house is a great place to meet up for a chat and a catch up wide range of beers and spirits.

Lovely and peaceful the views are amazing and the fishing is good too, what more do you need, why not visit and take a look you won’t be disappointed.

 

I’ve a been a lodge owner at Derwent Oaks Lake and Country Park for just over half a year now, and overall, it’s been a peaceful and rewarding experience. Nestled on the edge of the countryside but still within reach of the town, this park strikes a good balance between rural tranquillity and convenience.

The surroundings are lovely—plenty of trees, well-kept green spaces, and walking paths that are ideal for dog owners like me. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, mostly occupied by friendly retirees and couples who appreciate a slower pace of life.

We were very apprehensive about crossing the pennines and moving to Yorkshire. But everything as been perfect from buying the lodge to meeting a lot of new friends. It’s a beautiful place with lovely people. I can’t say enough about the park apart from it being WONDERFUL.

Very peaceful, tranquil and lovely people. We enjoy the strolls in the countryside to fishing on the lake and a drink in the on-site bar. (Good prices).
Joanne (site sales/manager)made the purchase of the lodge seamless. Julie who tenders most of the site maintenance issues and plus, and her husband Pete who assembled the kitchen aisle and Wall mounted TV for us were both brill.
Thanks to all… It was all worth the move from our lodge in Cumbria.

Amazing experience. The Park Manager is unbelievably helpful. as from start to finish we were made to feel welcome. Everything was explained to us in finite detail by Joanne so we had all we needed to make an informed decision. The park itself is everything we dreamed of and more, still some work to do to finish it but you can see that everything is done to the highest standard. This is a park with no hidden agenda all you get is honesty from start to finish. We will be moving onto the park in the next few weeks and we cannot wait to start the next chapter of our life at Derwent Oaks, an absolute gem of a find.
