Yorkshire Spa Retreat is a recently developed resort offering a unique Spa and Lodge experience that is proving popular among celebrities - so it only felt right that we should pay a visit and see what all the fuss is about! Earlier this year ITV presenter Josie Gibson stayed at Yorkshire Spa Retreat , in celebration of the brand's 80 th birthday. Set in more than eight acres of rolling Yorkshire parkland, this oasis of tranquillity provides holiday makers with an ideal place to relax and unwind while enjoying the splendour of the Yorkshire Moors countryside. Yorkshire Spa Retreat is a short drive from the stunning North York Moors town of Helmsley.

Surrounding the Retreat is a number of national parks with an abundance of country walks at your doorstep. You're also within reach of some great attractions and tourist hotspots such as Castle Howard and Rievaulx Abbey, as well as the picturesque village Hutton-le-Hole, the gorgeous market town of Pickering, and Duncombe Park, so there's plenty to do. Yorkshire Spa Retreat opened its doors late last year after a huge £4.

5m cash infusion during development, and it's abundantly obvious no expense has been spared from the moment you pull up. Created with serenity in mind, there is a perfect blend of bespoke luxury holiday homes and exquisite lodges that deliver comfort and relaxation. Fitted with modern amenities creating the perfect environment that allows guests to feel at home from the moment you arrive.

We stayed in 'The Blacks.
