Most places sit in the middle, with about 6 guests and three bedrooms, and a garden comes with roughly six in ten of them. That makes a lodge easier for children than a hotel room, since there is outdoor space and a kitchen of your own.
Prices are usually moderate for the size. Beyond 10 guests the nightly price climbs sharply. Dogs are accepted at about 61% of places, a log burner is found at about 35% and a hot tub at about 27%. Ratings are high, at 8.8 out of 10 on average.
Where are they?
York has the most lodges here and typically costs a little more than the national usual price, with a large share of hot tubs. Windermere and South Cerney are dearer still. Skegness, Ingoldmells, Camber and Great Yarmouth are cheaper and aimed at seaside family breaks, though hot tubs are rare there. Hemsby is the cheapest of the main places by a wide margin. Tattershall is moderately priced and has hot tubs at more than eight in ten of its places, which is unusual. St. Andrews and Carnforth sit at the dearer end.

Features
A garden is the most common feature, at about 61% of places, followed by log burners at 35% and high chairs at 32%. Hot tubs appear at 27% and add a clear premium to the nightly price. Swimming pools and children's play areas go with cheaper stays, which fits the holiday parks where they are found. Fishing is linked to the dearest stays in this list. If you have a toddler, filter for a high chair first. If you have older children, a pool or play area keeps the cost down.

By number of guests
Lodges sleeping 3 to 4 and 5 to 6 make up most of the choice, with several thousand of each. The nightly price rises only slightly between these bands and the 7 to 9 band, so the cost per person drops from the smaller lodges to the larger ones. Past 10 guests the price jumps, with five or more bedrooms. The largest places, for 20 or more, cost the most per night but work out cheaper per head than the 12 to 19 bands. For a family with grandparents, 7 to 9 is the cheapest per head.
Nightly prices are lowest in November and rise through December and January. February and April are the dearest of the months shown, with March a little cheaper. Availability follows the other way: fewer places are free in the winter months, and more are open by March and April. If you want a particular lodge for a half-term week, book early. For flexible dates, November gives the lowest usual price and a similar choice to December.
