Conveniently placed between Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, this welcoming wooden lodge is a fantastic base for discovering the best of North Yorkshire with family or friends. It sleeps four guests and boasts a peaceful woodland setting, while keeping you close to some of the area's top attractions – such as the heritage North Yorkshire Moors Railway (2 miles), where you can enjoy a scenic steam train journey through the moors to Whitby.
On arrival, pass through the handy boot area where you can leave muddy footwear after countryside walks, before stepping into the open-plan living area. This welcoming space comprises the lounge, kitchen and dining area, featuring floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors that flood the room with natural light. Admire the gorgeous woodland views from the large corner sofa, where an electric fire and Smart TV with PS4 provide everything you need for entertaining evenings. The stylish kitchen features shaker units, quartz worktops and an island, plus there’s a separate dining area with an elegant wooden table. When it’s time to turn in, you’ll have a spacious king-size with a Smart TV and en-suite shower room, along with a twin room, also with its own Smart TV and en-suite bathroom. A separate WC adds extra convenience. Outside, make the most of good weather on the large decking, which has comfortable seating, a private hot tub and a charcoal BBQ. Private parking is available for one car beside the lodge, with additional on-site parking if required.
Nearby, you can spend the day exploring local walking and cycling trails, or perhaps take the kids to Go Ape at Dalby Forest (11.5 miles) for treetop adventures. Another family favourite is Flamingo Land (5.5 miles), which has exciting rides and a fascinating zoo. History lovers can wander around the magnificent Castle Howard (15.5 miles). Fancy a traditional day by the sea? Whitby, Scarborough and Filey are all within 25 miles.
