Situated within the magnificent 220-acre Forcett Hall Estate, this delightful lodge makes a fantastic holiday home for couples seeking a relaxing break in the heart of the stunning North Yorkshire countryside. Offering sweet and cosy accommodation for up to two guests, the cheery bungalow has been elegantly decorated and stylishly furnished, with an open fire, free-standing bath and a tranquil garden.
