Perched above a private lake, this brand-new, elevated lodge offers a truly luxurious stay. Set on a large, verdant estate on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales, this stunning holiday home provides ample accommodation for four guests, making it ideal for couples, older families and groups of friends. Spend your days roaming over rugged landscapes and exploring market towns and historic sites. Then return here to watch wildlife around the lake and unwind in peaceful countryside or a dip in the wood fire hot tub. Set beside the lake with panoramic views over the water and countryside, this single-storey lodge will immerse you in comfort and luxury. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner forms the front of the property, with floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the room with natural light. A high-spec kitchen featuring top-of-the-range appliances is a dream to prepare meals in, there’s a dining table for dinners overlooking the water, and a sumptuous lounge for relaxing and unwinding. Make the most of warm weather by opening the sliding doors to the terrace where you’ll find a table for outdoor dining, birdwatching, stargazing, the wood fired hot tub or just relaxing with a book. Or cosy up on chilly days with the doors closed, wood burner roaring and a film on TV. When night falls, two super-king-size bedrooms with superior mattresses and plush bedding whisper of a blissful night’s sleep (please note that this property is adults-only, with the exception of babes in arms). Both rooms feature sophisticated en-suite shower rooms with walk-in showers and his-and-hers sinks. A dream for nature lovers and keen walkers, there are abundant walks from your doorstep and many more hiking trails and outdoor activities available within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Richmond Castle (3.5 miles), Middleham Castle (14.5 miles) and Barnard Castle (12.5 miles) offer a flavour of the region’s rich history. The market towns of Barnard Castle and Richmond provide a selection of independent shops, eateries, art galleries, antiques shops, and artisan food stores.
