Escape to a very special area of hills, moors and river valleys and take time to re-set in gorgeous natural surroundings. This high-quality lodge, located on a working farm (hello horses!) has wonderful views over the Calder Valley and a play area that’s perfect for little ones. Whether your interests are cultural highlights or outdoor activities, it’s a great base for couples and families looking to make a Yorkshire escape.
Set over a single storey, the lodge has a light-filled, elegant interior that immediately sets a calm and relaxed tone for your getaway. The living space is open plan and its floor-to-ceiling windows give it a bright and breezy feel. Cooking is straightforward in the glossy kitchen, which has integrated appliances and plenty of cupboard space.
Linger at the adjacent dining table, admiring the views, and then step across to the lounge area, where plenty of comfortable seating awaits. One of the sofas is also a sofa bed for two children, which gives you flexible sleeping options. Open the two pairs of glazed doors to connect directly to the courtyard outside or, if you feel like a cosy night in, close the blinds and stream a movie on the Smart TV.
At bedtime, you have a king-size bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and a twin, both with Smart TVs – lazy mornings in bed, here we come. The family bathroom is sleek and boasts a shower for a refreshing rinse and a separate bath for those who prefer a long soak.
The enclosed courtyard is the perfect spot for a delicious BBQ or simply an evening in the fresh air, chatting while the stars come out. And children will love the cute play area, with swings, a slide and a playhouse on stilts. Right next to it is a picnic bench so you can keep an eye on them while admiring the tranquil rural landscape.
