The Provincial Lodge

This five-star luxury lodge, framed by a leafy canopy, is set in an exclusive complex of four properties in beautiful countryside near the charming village of Great Ayton (1 mile). With ample space for four guests and a lucky canine companion, the lodge boasts its own garden space, a private terrace and its own hot tub in this peaceful haven. It’s ideal for families, friends, or couples who want to enjoy a relaxed getaway together in a peaceful setting. There’s also a day spa on-site where guests can book indulgent spa treatments – just what’s needed to unwind from busy lifestyles. If you can tear yourself away from this heavenly idyll, take a country walk along one of the many local trails and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature along the way. Hop on two wheels and explore the 109-mile Cleveland Way (5.5 miles) or explore the North York Moors National Park (2 miles). If youre a foodie, you’ve come to the right place; this part of Yorkshire is packed with wonderful gastropubs, high-end restaurants and food delis fit for culinary kings and queens.

Step up to the decked terrace of this stylish lodge which offers every creature comfort to make your stay a comfortable one. Head inside to find a long sweep of open-plan ground floor interiors, from the living area through the dining area to the kitchen, decorated in contemporary rustic style. Mealtimes are a breeze with the well-equipped kitchen fitted with everything you need to follow favourite recipes for your hungry brood. There’s also a handy washing machine so you’ll have less holiday packing to do and more time to plan fun days in the surrounding region. After a busy day of adventures, take a dip in your bubbly hot tub on the terrace where you can soak away your cares and rejuvenate on this most relaxing of breaks. Gather around the dining table and tuck into delicious meals featuring fresh Yorkshire farm produce, before settling into cosy seating for film nights on the Smart TV. When sleepy heads nod, head upstairs to find two beautiful bedrooms with fluffy robes, elegant linens and super-stylish beds with sumptuous tufted headboards: a king-size bedroom with a TV, and a double bedroom (which can be adapted to a twin by request), both made for the best night’s sleep.

Enjoy a rich morning brew from the coffee machine and step outside to breathe in the fresh country air. Have breakfast on the sunny terrace before setting out on a new day of exploration in North Yorkshire. Or enjoy lazy days in the garden at the front of the property, catching rays from the comfort of stylish sun loungers. If you’re feeling peckish, find shops, pubs and a restaurant within half a mile, and free parking in the public car park.
