This spectacular property offers luxury accommodation for groups of up to four. It’s a treat for lovers of the great outdoors, with the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and North York Moors National Park right on your doorstep, offering vast expanses of open countryside for you to explore. The lodge is just 150 metres from Welburn’s charming village pub, where you can relax with a pint after long days out.

An exquisite and cosy interior awaits, with tasteful decorative touches and quality soft furnishings. The heart of this homely retreat is its open-plan living area, featuring a sleek kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances. A natural scheme is easy on the eye, while a high vaulted ceiling creates a sense of space. Large, plush sofas are positioned around a modern wood burner, setting you up for film nights. From here, bi-fold doors open to a patio garden. Thanks to an impressive wooden shelter, you can enjoy being outside even on wet days. There’s an outdoor kitchen, a BBQ and a pizza oven so you can enjoy fresh-air feasts, along with outdoor furniture for leisurely evenings under the stars.

Locally, you can visit the historic Castle Howard (1.5 miles), known for its majestic grounds, fountains, trails and lakes – and a venue for events and concerts. Flamingo Land Resort amusement park (13.5 miles) will be a hit with children, or you can enjoy a round of golf at the course 7 miles away. Foodies will make a beeline for Malton (6 miles), known as the food capital of Yorkshire, or you could pop to York (14 miles) for retail therapy, museums and perhaps a trip to the iconic York Minster.
