Enjoy a family or couples’ break to this lovely timber lodge. Boasting a thriving cafe and a friendly pub, the village of Welburn is surrounded by the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that will appeal to adventure seekers and gentle amblers alike. Embrace scenic walks throughout this windswept landscape, discovering lakeside trails and winding woodland paths before refuelling with a hearty meal and a fireside seat in a traditional country pub.
Providing a sanctuary for four guests, your accommodation is carefully finished with an open-plan living space that utilises a combination of classic and contemporary. Throw a log on the wood burner and recline on the sofas with a hot drink, or uncork a bottle of wine and switch on a film to enjoy together. Whipping up dishes in the pretty kitchen equipped with integrated appliances such as a slim dishwasher, fridge/freezer, electric oven, hob, microwave and coffee machine.
A step leads up to the sleeping quarters, two bedrooms perfectly appointed for slumber. Both beds are king-size, but one of them can be converted into two small 2’6” single beds, an excellent option for the youngest guests in your party. Soothe tired limbs with a dip in the bath, or freshen up in the shower. You’ll feel delightfully warm even on the coldest nights thanks to the underfloor heating, and every visitor will receive a greeting in the form of a welcome pack on arrival.
Let the outside in and throw open the bi-fold doors for drinks on the patio on balmy summer evenings, or perch on the garden furniture to watch the birdlife flittering amongst the nearby trees. Fire up the BBQ for a chargrilled supper or take advantage of your private pizza oven. There’s an outside WC in the handy utility room that also features a washing machine and tumble dryer to take care of any muddy coats and shoes.
The welcoming owners are based next door but you are guaranteed privacy, and their resident chickens and guinea fowl can be heard pottering about in the adjacent yard. Off-road parking is available for two cars, and you’ll be within easy reach of the local shop, pub and cafe.
