2 Bed Lodge in Pickering

About this property

This delightful, pet-friendly lodge sits on a 60-acre estate with parking directly outside so you can unpack and explore at your leisure. Stroll to the nearby farm shop and café, or stock up on self-catering supplies in Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, each within 1.5 miles. Head to Dalby Forest or Flamingo Land theme park and zoo, both 5 miles away and offering fun for all ages. Take a heritage train ride from Pickering, and at Grosmont, you can connect to the Esk Valley Line for a day in Whitby (21 miles). Edwardian resort Filey (21 miles) and lively Scarborough (17 miles) are destinations for a coastal road trip. The stately home of Castle Howard (14 miles) has acres of grounds and a great adventure playground. For more historic sites, continue across the Howardian Hills to the city of York (26.5 miles), or drive 17 miles east to the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey.

A door from the side deck leads into this charming holiday lodge. Head through the small lobby and straight into an open-plan living space with the lounge and kitchen immediately in front of you and a dining area to the right. Soft shades and warm oak accentuate the contemporary lounge area, where there’s a Smart TV and a PlayStation 4 console for the full range of home-from-home entertainment. Twin sets of French doors flood this social space with natural light; to the rear, the kitchen has modern units housing all the self-catering essentials. A similar contemporary palette continues in the two dreamy bedrooms, each with its own TV and sliding wardrobes, while two chic en-suite bathrooms complete the set-up.

A choice of outdoor spaces offer the best of all worlds. Stretching across the front of the lodge, the enclosed decking area has lounge-style seating, a BBQ and a dining suite. Follow the side deck past the main entrance, and at the rear of the lodge, a hot tub offers the ultimate in laid-back leisure. Louvre-style screening and a roof overhead make this a delightfully private spot, while doors lead – via their en-suites – into both bedrooms. Children and pets get their own areas in which to unwind, with a play area and designated dog-walking field on site.
