This stylish, Scandi-inspired lodge is perfect for couples, families and four-legged friends looking to get away from it all in rustic luxury. Spend your days exploring scenic walks, family attractions and seaside towns, then return for an indulgent soak in the canopy-covered hot tub beneath the starry sky.
Head through the porch and stow your outdoor gear in the handy boot room. When you’re ready to relax, get comfortable in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, its log-panelled walls and timber floor providing a cosy ambience. Snuggle into the corner sofa and enjoy streaming your favourite shows on the Smart TV, perhaps with the additional warmth of the flame-effect electric fire in cooler months. The kitchen is superbly equipped and even boasts a wine cooler and a dishwasher, and you can enjoy hearty meals at the solid-wood table, which has space for everyone. A superb family bathroom completes the ground floor, with robes and slippers provided as an extra-special touch. When you’re ready for a good night’s sleep, head upstairs to find the two welcoming bedrooms, both with sloping ceilings and a warm atmosphere. In the king-size room you’ll have a Smart TV and a dressing area, while the twin room boasts a TV and PlayStation 4, guaranteed fun for younger guests. The enclosed outside space includes furniture for al fresco dining plus the special treat of a private hot tub. You’ll have parking for one car outside, with additional parking available on the site.
The lodge is located on a lovely site between Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, 2 miles from a heritage railway line, which can puff you along all the way to Whitby. For little ones, Flamingo Land is just 5.5 miles, while Dalby Forest (11.5 miles) has walking and cycling trails, forest play areas and a treetop adventure course.
