This contemporary lodge, with a hot tub and far-reaching countryside views, is perfect for a group of six explorers wanting to get away to rural Yorkshire. Tucked between Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, your glamping cabin makes an excellent base for walkers, history buffs and attraction-seekers, with Flamingo Land, Dalby Forest and Castle Howard within the vicinity.
Stylish timber cladding and a bubbling hot tub catch your eye from the outside, while the warm, thoughtfully finished interior feels every bit as welcoming once you step through the door. The open-plan living space frames incredible countryside views, while deep, comfortable sofas invite you to kick back with a drink from the wine cooler and watch the TV. Linger over dinner prepared in the sleek kitchen, or perhaps strike up the BBQ and enjoy a meal on the decking, followed by a dip in the hot tub. If the kids are itching to burn off steam, then you’ll love the direct view of the children’s play area, while you bubble away. When you're thoroughly worn out from the day's events, three tastefully decorated bedrooms await; one luxurious king-size with an en-suite shower room and two cosy twin bedrooms.
Join the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, just 2 miles from the lodge, and watch the steam train chug through the heather-covered moors on its scenic journey to the seaside town of Whitby. Once there, enjoy its imposing Gothic Abbey and its West Cliff Beach that’s lined with pastel-painted huts. Closer to home, Dalby Forest (11.5 miles) is packed with walking trails and thrilling treetop adventures, while Castle Howard (15.5 miles) boasts a blend of lavish architecture and wonderfully peaceful gardens. There’s also nearby Flamingo Land (5.5 miles), with theme park rides and zoo animals.
