Reviews
"We had a lovely 1 weeks break in June 2008 At Griffin Forrest , We took our Son and his Wife and my Daughter there for a quiet break which it was, it was so secluded surrounded by trees and yet only minutes from York one way and the war museum the other way. It was so central for loads of things to do if you wanted, but we were quite happy staying around the Log Cabin chilling out. We took our Border collie with us and she just loved walking through the forrest and chasing after cones from the trees, But if we wanted to go anywheree for the day or part off the Day kennels were so handy I would give it a 9 out of 10 for a review for this Holiday well done keep up the good work, We will certainly be thinking about returning again soon"
