Property code: OC-Y291

Settle in for a holiday on the edge of the enchanting North York Moors with this unique prospect. A Finnish-style log cabin is a special place for a break, while the location ensures there’s the opportunity to experience rural views every day and venture to the coast too. The market town of Pickering is just a couple of miles from the lodge and is home to many delightful attractions – visit Pickering Castle, Beck Isle Museum or hop aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to see the sights. Flamingo Land Resort is 6 miles away, Dalby Forest and its Go Ape centre are 15 miles, while Scarborough on the coast is a 20-mile trip. York is within 30 miles for days out in the city.

This stylish, rustic log cabin has wonderful features such as underfloor heating, solar panels and ground-source heating, and wheelchair ramp access; it has been carefully thought out by its owners to create a quality holiday base for guests. Inside, the space is open plan with warm, exposed wood throughout. A traditional wood burner provides the chance for toasty evenings around a crackling fire, while the comfortable sofabed, table and chairs, and modern kitchen area combine to offer a restful, social living space. The wall-mounted TV is a real asset as you can view it no matter where you are in this multi-purpose room. A stylish wetroom and charming bedroom towards the back of the property complete this rural escape.

The covered decked area has a fairy-tale feel about it, with a table and chairs, and views across a paddock often grazed by horses. The wider site comprises the owners’ small farm, and bed and breakfast. Stabling and grazing are offered for anyone who would like to bring their own horse.

We found Rowan Lodge to be very comfortable, and a lovely peaceful place to stay. It had everything that we needed, and the welcome pack was much appreciated. The covered deck area outside was great, and meant that you could still sit out if it was raining. Highly recommended.

We had a pleasant stay in a lovely situation. The underfloor heating worked well and there was the backup of a wood stove if needed Although we don't have a dog it is the ideal place for those that do.

Rowan Lodge was a perfect location for us; one of us is a wheelchair user, and the lodge provided ample room to move around inside the Lodge easily from lounge to dining, to bed and bathroom. The location is ideal, providing a mid point between Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough to the south and the North Yorkshire Moors and Whitby to the North, and YRead moreork to the West. The lodge itself is very comfortable and warm, well equipped, with parking adjacent to the lodge. It is set in a beautiful rural farming landscape but just a short drive away from shops and restaurants/take-aways. Hide
