Tucked between the charming villages of Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, this welcoming lodge is a spacious countryside escape for up to eight guests and your canine companions.. Whether you're planning long walks through the North York Moors, frolics by the coast, or lazy afternoons in your hot tub, this characterful retreat offers a perfect blend of comfort and convenience for both two- and four-legged travellers.
Step inside to discover a light-filled open-plan living space, designed with sociable stays in mind. The lounge is a cosy hub with soft sofas and a large Smart TV – ideal for curling up in front of a film while your faithful hound finds their favourite spot. A stylish, well-equipped kitchen comes complete with a breakfast bar and all the mod cons you’ll need. The elegant dining area seats everyone comfortably, making mealtimes a breeze. Down the hall, you’ll find two luxurious king-size bedrooms with en-suites, along with two twin bedrooms that share a sleek family bathroom. Each room is thoughtfully finished with a TV and soft furnishings. Outside, a fully enclosed decked area means your pet can potter safely while you enjoy a soak in the private hot tub, fire up the BBQ, or simply kick back with a glass of wine and the Yorkshire countryside as your backdrop. And for zoomie-fuelled mornings or bedtime strolls, there’s access to a 20-acre on-site field, exclusively for dog-walking. Parking is available on-site too.
Within 1.5 miles, you’ll find a farm shop stocked with local goodies and a dog-friendly pub. A walk or short drive takes you to Pickering Station (1.5 miles), where steam trains on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway puff their way through stunning scenery – tail-waggers welcome along for the ride. Dalby Forest, 5 miles away, is a must-visit for walkies in the woods, with miles of waymarked trails and plenty of opportunities for muddy paws and happy snouts. And when you fancy a day by the sea, Whitby, Scarborough and Filey are all within 25 miles and boast pet-positive zones alongside classic coastal fare.
