Friends or family keen to explore the beautiful North York Moors National Park will love this sleek lodge – that also welcomes an impressive three canine chums to join the fun. Kick back and relax at the Scandi-like cabin that seamlessly combines sleek lines and contemporary design with the utmost comfort and luxury. It’s based, with others, on a private estate that also offers a 20-acre dog field.
Cleverly planned, this wood-clad lodge continues the rustic theme inside, paired with high-tech finishes and chic design. Feel instantly relaxed by the generous living space, usefully zoned into areas that work really well for family life. Wood panelling in the lounge gives it a cosy feel, while the contemporary kitchen is well-equipped for cooking up a storm to eat at the dining table, breakfast bar or out on the deck. The king-size, twin and bunk bedrooms offer versatile sleeping accommodation for any group of up to six. Outside, the enclosed, decked veranda offers seating areas for dining and relaxing, a BBQ as well as the all-important hot tub.
The call of the great outdoors is loud around here, once you can rip yourself away from this fabulous lodge. It makes a great rural getaway, with rolling landscapes all around, making walking and cycling easy – notably at Dalby Forest (5 miles), which also has a Go Ape for those seeking adventure. Climb aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Pickering station (1 mile) and enjoy the ride through 24 miles of scenic moorland countryside, to Whitby on the coast. Dogs are welcome aboard for a modest fee. Check out the seaside shenanigans of popular Whitby before making your way back. Make fun family memories with a visit to Flamingo Land resort (5.5 miles), which offers a theme park and zoo.
