Tilly's Lodge

About this property

Nestled in the lovely Yorkshire village of Tickhill, South Yorkshire discover this rustic single-storey lodge, Tilly’s Lodge. Nestled amongst 4-acres of paddock where you can freely roam with and feed the owner's alpacas which are right on your doorstep, or relax by the wildlife pond, before sampling miles of public footpaths within a stone's throw of the property, perfect for spotting red kites and buzzards. Also benefitting from an open-plan living space, the social hub of the home where you and your loved ones can spend quality time together, and off-road parking and a private decking area, Tilly’s Lodge welcomes six guests, ideal for couples, friends or families seeking a peaceful escape in South Yorkshire. Upon entering your new abode, be impressed by the light and airy open-plan interior homing a kitchen with all the essential appliances required to make your self-catered stay a success, a dining area and sitting area with woodburning stove, a charming spot to curl up in on cooler evenings or admire the breathtaking views from the picture window. Allow the allocated chef of the group to rustle up a tasty dish before settling down either at the dining table or out on the private decking, sinking a cold glass of fizz as the sun sets in the distance. When the stars appear overhead, escape to a sleek bathroom to indulge a warm shower before drifting off into a well-deserved slumber in either one of two doubles or a twin. In the local village of Tickhill, explore Tickhill Castle, in addition to several shops and pubs, ideal for stocking up on the essentials or treating your loved ones to a hearty pub lunch on the days you don’t want to cook! In the city of Doncaster, enjoy the delights of Hexthorpe Park, Potteric Carr Nature Reserve, Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery, Doncaster Racecourse and the 11th century Conisbrough Castle slightly further out, with its impressive structure and surrounding gardens. Well-positioned to also spend the day in Sheffield, or traversing the Peak District National Park, you’ll have plenty to fill your days in South Yorkshire. Enjoy a memorable retreat in this lovely region, with a stay at Tilly’s Lodge.

The Domesday Book is mentioned in the history of the Yorkshire village of Tickhill. The 12th-century Tickhill Castle, which has a colourful history that includes a battle between Prince John and his brother King Richard I and Oliver Cromwell's visit during the English Civil War, is one of the many traditional stores and pubs in this charming town. Tickhill Castle is still a striking ruin today, complete with an accessible Norman gatehouse, foundations, and moat. There are many different types of ducks in the gorgeous millpond, and it has a lovely circular walk that is a terrific way to explore the area. The 10 miles away Doncaster Races are in a great location for Tickhill, and it only takes 20 minutes to drive to Sheffield's vibrant lights, theatres, and shopping. Within easy driving distance are the Peak District National Park, Alton Towers, and Sherwood Forest, famously known as Robin Hood's home. It is possible to visit Bawtry, the Mayflower Pilgrim Fathers' home town, and Lincoln is about 40 minutes away. A little further afield are the Lincolnshire coast, York, Leeds, and The Deep submarium in Hull.In the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, 3 miles from Woodstock, the location of Blenheim Palace, and around 8 miles north of Oxford, is the charming village of Tackley. The words "tack" and "ley," which both indicate glade or clearing, were combined to create the name Tackley.
