The quaint rural town of Market Weighton is located 3 miles from the lodge with a regular farmers’ market and a picturesque duck pond. The town is full of independent shops, inviting cafes and local pubs. The East Riding coast is less than 30 miles east and the beautiful historic city of York is 20 miles west.

Drive up to the lodge through the historic iron gates and admire the beautiful surroundings. Through the gated garden and into the entrance hall on the left-hand side is the lounge with comfortable sofas, a Smart TV and an open fire for those cosy winter nights. On the other side of the house, there is a large dining room which is bright and spacious with two large windows looking out onto the estate, a great space for family meals or game nights. The country-style kitchen is to the back of the house, fully fitted with an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge with icebox. The washer/dryer is in the separate utility room. Climb the wooden staircase to the beautifully decorated bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC; relax in the tub full of bubbles while overlooking the rolling fields. The master bedroom is the first one you’ll come to, with period features and plenty of storage – wake up to beautiful views from the cloud-like king-size bed. The second bedroom is to the front of the house with a king-size zip-and-link (which can be made into 2’ 6" twins on request).

Parking is right outside the lodge with space for three cars. The garden is enclosed with traditional decorative railings. The rear of the property is where the chickens can be found; cook up a freshly laid egg for a delicious breakfast (seasonally) In the evening, enjoy the peaceful country sounds while relaxing on the garden furniture as the BBQ gets going.

A rustic cottage set in the country side. Lovely garden. Good location. Easy parking. Lovely welcome pack left for us on arrival. However cottage was very cold and did not retain heat. Flies in the bedroom and poor television signal (kept cutting out) meant sadly we returned home early. Would not stay here again.

Brilliant spot if you like (as we do) peace and quiet, interrupted only by the local chaffinnch and resident swallows. Two very sociable and productive chickens in the garden. Fabulous walking in the Yorkshire Dales, with fairly easy road access to the coast and to York if required. The Dales Way is a superb walking route that passes the front gateRead more. Delightful and welcomimg hosts with a clear wish to make sure that their visitors have a great experience. Hide
