Property code: OC-86230

Be blown away by this incredibly designed lodge on the edge of the North Yorkshire countryside, just 5 miles from the bustling tourist town of Skipton. Set deep in the countryside, surrounded by towering trees and babbling brooks, this luxurious lodge accommodates four guests in a five-star environment. Throw open bi-fold doors to access the wrap-around terrace with a sunken hot tub or wander the short distance into the trees to sit and star gaze by the fire pit. With two king-size bedrooms, this property is exceptionally well-suited to two couples holidaying together, ready to fill their days with hikes, bike rides and tours of the Yorkshire Dales’ fabulous towns and villages.

This ultra-modern lodge has been smartly decorated in cool tones of grey and stylish soft furnishings, creating a stark contrast to the bright greenery and magnificent countryside that’s visible outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. An open-plan living area with a lounge, kitchen and diner neatly positioned together invites slow mornings and evenings of relaxing, and French doors leading out onto the terrace are perfect for those summer stays. On the ground floor, find two king-size bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room for added privacy when getting ready each morning. There is off-road parking for two cars.

The property is positioned within effortless reach of both North Yorkshire and Lancashire countryside destinations, with the Lancashire towns of Barnoldswick (5.5 miles) and Earby (4 miles) just a drive away. On the Yorkshire side, Skipton offers endless appeal with ancient, cobbled streets, a historic castle, mystical woodlands and a whole array of independent shops, pubs and eateries to explore. It’s known as the ā€˜Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales’, with the impeccable national park locations of Malham (12 miles), Appletreewick (13 miles) and Bolton Abbey (12 miles) all within easy reach of the town.

The lodge is beautiful and set in a fantastic location for exploring the surrounding area, including Skipton and several lovely villages nearby. Being tucked away down a quiet country lane made it wonderfully peaceful exactly what we were hoping for. We enjoyed watching the birds and local wildlife from the lodge and took some great walks straightRead more from the doorstep. It was a perfect place to unwind and feel close to nature. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, and communication was excellent throughout our stay. The lodge was spotlessly clean and really well equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Lovely modern lodge, with everything you need. Very nice ensuite bathrooms for both bedrooms and a comfortable kitchen/lounge area. Lodge is set in a small wood approximately 25 minute walk from the nearest pub the Tempest Arms. Quite a steep walk on the way back!

With some nice walks on your doorstep the hot tub is perfect after a long days walking. nearest shop is a 10 minute drive in Carleton In Craven. Hide

The property was clean, warm and comfortable. Lots of walks and stunning scenery are within easy access from the lodge. However it isn't as secluded as described on the website because it is quite close to another property with their drive running right next to the lodge. We had a delivery van and Yorkshire water engineer call during our stay.
