Live the Yorkshire dream with a luxury stay at this contemporary lodge. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom, dog-friendly retreat offers stylish accommodation and a generous private garden, complete with a hot tub, from its spectacular setting on a site close to the North York Moors. Nestled 1 mile from Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, it is also well placed for trips out to the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast.
Head inside the single-storey property to slip off your walking shoes in the boot room. Wander into bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where you can gaze out at the lush greenery or pull back the bi-folding doors to step outside on hot summer days. Recline on the large corner sofa in front of the Smart TV. Find the chic kitchen features everything you need to help you cater for your party. Treat yourself to a glass of wine at the breakfast bar as it cooks, then call everyone to join you at the table. Your bedrooms, both of which have TVs, are just as stylish as the rest of the impressive lodge. Lay your head in either the king-size bedroom, which has an en-suite shower room, or the twin, with an en-suite bathroom. Spill out into the garden, accessed via two steps, as often as possible. Play family games on the sizeable lawn, cook on the BBQ and dine under clear night skies. Fire up the hot tub and soak until you feel truly relaxed. There is parking for one car, with additional space if needed.
Potter in the shops of Pickering, pausing for a bite to eat or pint of local ale in a friendly Yorkshire pub. Visit splendid Castle Howard, 15.5 miles away, or plan a trip to the colourful theme park at Flamingo Land, 5.5 miles away.
