  • Beautifully presented and bright detached period property forming part of an historic estate
  • Located on the Yorkshire Wolds Way, a beautiful walk through tranquil, gentle countryside
  • Collect fresh eggs from the free-range chickens at the lodge during seasons
Property code: 88620

Nestled along the Yorkshire Wolds Way footpath that provides plenty of stick-throwing opportunities, this traditional lodge is as fetching as it is perfectly placed to explore the magnificent surrounding Londesborough Park, with countless tracks and trails beginning from the doorstep.

There’s no better welcome for weary walking muscles and tired paws than the roaring open fire in the homely lounge; your canine companion won’t be able to resist dozing on the hearth as you put your feet up on the comfortable sofa. Tame the growl of hungry tummies by whipping up some locally sourced treats in the contemporary cottage-style kitchen and enjoy your efforts with the whole pack in the light and bright dining room. End a busy day by unwinding in the tub full of bubbles while overlooking the rolling fields in the bathroom upstairs before retiring to either the king-size or super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (which can be made into 2’6" twins). Your four-legged friend will have a ball on the lawn in the enclosed garden as you nuzzle noses with the resident chickens and enjoy the peaceful country sounds.

This countryside spot, nestled on the edge of Londesborough Park, an estate which forms part of the Yorkshire Wolds Way, is a haven for those with a nose for nature, with countless footpaths to explore with your four-legged friend. From the estate, join the Yorkshire Wolds Way on foot or two wheels if your four-pawed pal can keep up to find plenty of exciting new smells and picturesque scenery along the trail. Boasting a farmers’ market, sniff out some seasonal treats from the historic town of Market Weighton, 2 miles away, or lead the way further afield to soak up the rich culture of the local area in York, 20 miles away.

An absolute GEM of a place! Perfectly clean with a HUGE welcome basket packed with goodies for the whole family (even the pooch)! The Lodge is beautifully decorated and big enough to "breathe" in. The history of the land and the hall is fascinating and the village of Londesborough is absolutely delightful. There are birds (including kingfishers) anRead mored deer and even the odd badger to see if you're lucky. The garden is very secure so you don't need to worry about your dog or children getting out.

would recommend anyone to stay at the Gate Keepers Lodge, so cosy and relaxing, lovely welcome pack on arrival, fresh eggs every morning. Within striking distance from Market Weighton and Pocklington for essential shopping and yet you could be in the middle of nowhere.

The Lodge is a lovely house with beautiful views. It was clean, well equipped and we appreciated the extras: (chocolates/wine/biscuits and fresh eggs).

Being used to old house issues, we lived with these and took ample solace in the wildlife and general charm of the place. Hide

A rustic cottage set in the country side. Lovely garden. Good location. Easy parking. Lovely welcome pack left for us on arrival. However cottage was very cold and did not retain heat. Flies in the bedroom and poor television signal (kept cutting out) meant sadly we returned home early. Would not stay here again.

Brilliant spot if you like (as we do) peace and quiet, interrupted only by the local chaffinnch and resident swallows. Two very sociable and productive chickens in the garden. Fabulous walking in the Yorkshire Dales, with fairly easy road access to the coast and to York if required. The Dales Way is a superb walking route that passes the front gateRead more.
