The period after Christmas and New Year celebrations is always incredibly busy for holiday let hosts and owners. In just a couple of weeks the festive decorations are taken down, rooms freshly painted, chimneys swept, PAT testing and fire risk assessments completed for the new year ahead. With all jobs ticked off the list and the very first sign of spring emerging in the park, we are ready to open the gates this afternoon to our first guests of 2026 and their 4 dogs for a week exploring the fabulous countryside around Sykes Lodge. I wonder how many of the walks recommended by Walking the Wolds they will be able to complete .... and how many cakes along the way will break some New Year resolutions!
