Nestled on the edge of the Forest of Bowland and within 5 miles of the Yorkshire Dales, this lovely lodge is perfectly positioned for avid walkers and keen hikers to explore these Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. After a busy day, return home to this beautiful timber-clad lodge to relax with your family of four.
Gorgeous exposed beams add character to the open-plan living space, where you’re welcome to put your feet up and unwind in style. For cooks, the fully-equipped kitchen area has everything you could need to whip up family feasts for hungry adventurers before you dine around the table or out in the private patio area. The two bedrooms are a treat to climb into: a cosy king-size bed with neutral tones and a comfy twin room with storage. Both rooms share the use of the shower room, which is a blessing at the end of busy days. Should you need to run through damp waterproofs, the shared tack room with a washing machine will be handy. Spend exquisite mornings out on the shared lawn where you can lap up the unbelievable views over Ingleborough and Whernside, and, if you’re lucky, you may be able to spot the mountains of the Lake District in the distance.
Pack a picnic and head on out around the Forest of Bowland to explore this captivating part of the countryside. Dramatic sweeps of moorland, picturesque farms and quaint villages await you. Austwick, Settle and Whitewell villages are all within 20 miles of the property and provide bites to eat and moments to capture. Delve into the historical narratives of Hornby Castle (6.5 miles), or use your position to take advantage of the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, all within 12 miles. For more UK paradise, drive 20 miles to the Lake District to dive into England’s largest national park.
