About this property

Offering a pleasant escape amidst the owner's beautiful grounds is a single timber log dwelling, Gardener's Lodge, lying just outside the centre of the village of Huby, in a quarter-acre of land. This traditional North Yorkshire retreat offers two couples or a family of four a superb base from which to enjoy both the delights of the historic city of York, as well as the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the North York Moors. Take in the rural views in this quaint and rustic exterior and be welcomed into a stylish and bright interior, home to well-chosen quality furnishings in this open-plan layout to bring you a calming hideaway from the rush of everyday life.

Relax on one of the two grey sofas while your toes can enjoy the softness of the plush rug and watch a film on the Smart TV while the evening light from the floor-length windows begins to fade. Perch at the breakfast bar and keep the chef company as a delicious dish is prepared in the sleek kitchen, with charcoal painted oak cupboards and bright contrasting quartz worktops holding all the appliances you need enhance your stay, all beneath an incredible, bespoke lighting feature made from a locally sourced silver birch branch. Sit around the dining table with a view of the garden behind you and tuck into a tasty meal, and on fresh mornings you can enjoy breakfast here with the doors wide open to bring in the country breeze.

    MAIN CONCERN IS WHEN YOU ARE IN A SELF CATERING ACCOMODATION A SEPERATE FREEZER WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFULL. OTHERWISE A NICE UNIT

  • Lucy

    Chris and Alison were so friendly and welcoming. We would definitely recommend the property for families as our little one loved it. The area is perfect to explore with so much to do from local villages, national trust properties and the coast. We'd love to return in the future.

  • Hazel

    The lodge was cosy and comfortable, and the kitchen was very well-equipped. We found plenty to do locally - York, Whitby, and various National Trust properties.
