Set within 60 acres of Yorkshire countryside, this fun holiday pod is perfect for a family of four and their pups. It’s one of several pods, lodges and cottages at a lovely site just 1 mile from the lively market town of Pickering, filled with dog-friendly shops, pubs and cafés to wander around with your four-pawed friend. Since you’re only 2 miles from North Riding Forest Park – part of the North York Moors National Park – the opportunities for wonderful dog walks nearby are endless.
Inside, this quirky and curvy pod has been cleverly designed to make the most of its space. The open-plan layout combines lounging, dining and sleeping areas in an elegant style, complete with timber flooring, wood-panelled walls and colourful touches. There’s a comfy sofa for film nights with your pup at your feet, and a fold-out table for family meals. When it’s time to rest, settle the children into the built-in bunk beds before retiring to the plush king-size bed. A smart wet-room-style shower room with WC completes the setup. Outside, your private deck presents the perfect opportunity for relaxed morning coffees and tasty evening BBQs, with your four-legged companion snoozing on the shared lawn nearby. You’ll also have a dedicated parking space nearby and can load or unload right beside the pod. The on-site 20-acre dog-walking field is excellent for off-lead fun, while dogs will need to stay on leads throughout the rest of the site.
At Pickering, stroll through cobbled streets before taking your pets on a scenic ride on the heritage railway to Whitby (21 miles by car). The classic seaside towns of Filey and Scarborough are both within 20.5 miles for if you fancy a day out at the coast. Flamingo Land (5 miles) welcomes dogs on leads, and Dalby Forest (4.5 miles) is the place to go for waggy-tailed woodland walks.
