Tucked away on a peaceful, leafy site in the North York Moors, this timber lodge is perfect for families, couples, and their loyal hounds who want to escape into nature. With a distinctively Scandinavian feel and the added bonus of a private hot tub, you’ll find yourself 1 mile from Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, with dog-friendly walks, scenic trails, and countryside pubs right on your doorstep.
Arrive via the covered porch and handy boot room, ideal for drying muddy paws and wellies after a long moorland ramble. Enter into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where natural timber and alpine touches create a cosy feel. Sink into the sofa with your faithful companion at your feet, watch a movie night on the Smart TV, or switch on the pebble-effect electric fire for toasty evenings after bracing walks. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to rustle up hearty breakfasts or homely dinners, which you can enjoy around the dining table together. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor for freshening up after outdoor adventures. When it’s time to unwind, head upstairs to the king-size bedroom or inviting twin, both with Smart TVs, soft linens, and characterful sloping ceilings. Outside, relax in the bubbling hot tub under its handy canopy, fire up the BBQ for al fresco suppers and sip a drink under the stars while your pup potters nearby. There’s a huge dog-walking field, a bike rack and private parking for one car, with extra spaces available on site.
Step outside the lodge and you’re spoilt for choice with paw-friendly adventures. Wander along rolling moorland paths, follow quiet country lanes into Thornton-le-Dale, or trot into Pickering for a stock-up on local produce, a leisurely cream tea, or a pint of Yorkshire ale. For a day at the seaside, pack a picnic and visit the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast. Scarborough (17 miles) and Whitby (21.5 miles) both boast dog-friendly stretches of sand for breezy coastal walks, while the Cleveland Way offers stunning clifftop strolls for wagging tails and their humans.
