The Lodge

About this property

York 2.8 miles. The Lodge is a beautifully finished, single-storey holiday home, perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway or a small group, nestled on the outskirts of York city centre. Set in a rural location with a short taxi or bus journey into the city, this bespoke-built, detached lodge has everything you need for a peaceful retreat or a city break! Part of the owners’ six-acre property that has been featured on BBC's Best House in Town, Metro and Yorkshire Post, The Lodge has an idyllic setting just waiting to be enjoyed by holidaymakers. Upon arrival at The Lodge, you'll find a private, off-road parking space ready for you to unload your car and start your getaway. Step into the garden to start exploring the grounds, a veranda with furniture awaits you for some alfresco lounging and a peaceful evening spent appreciating the views of the surrounding scenery. Continue through to the interior, where you'll find a king-size bedroom to rest your eyes after a busy day, complete with an en-suite walk-in, rainfall shower, for your morning shower. The open-plan living space provides a well-equipped kitchen, so you can whip up some delicious dinners to enjoy in the dining area, or relax in the sitting area with a sofa bed for extra flexibility. Enjoy a night in snuggling up together in front of the Smart TV with cinema and sports packages included - the perfect way to end your day. Venture to the walled city of York, for a day of exploration of its historical attractions, such as the iconic York Minster and Shambles Market street. Enjoy a peek to the industrial past at the National Railway Museum, with over 100 locomotives on show, or shop to your heart’s content at the Designer Outlet. A journey to Leeds is a must; admire the impressive Leeds Town Hall, the largest civic building in England, and wander along the Victorian arcades of the Corn Exchange. Of course, no trip to Leeds is complete without a visit to the Royal Armouries Museum and a meal or two at the popular Granary Wharf. The Lodge offers a unique opportunity to visit two of the most popular cities in Yorkshire, as well as a chance to discover the stunning Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty and the North York Moors National Park. Here, find a wealth of natural beauty, from picturesque hills and valleys, to woodlands and trails ripe for exploration. Experience a blissful getaway with your loved one at The Lodge.

The city of York needs no recommendation, for it teems with interest for the holidaymaker: the Minster, its medieval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums(including the famous National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally-renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its "time trip" experience. Summer and winter, there is something to fascinate the whole family. Explore York’s quaint streets and hidden corners, or take an excursion further afield to the Dales, Moors or the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Yorkshire is rich in stately homes, with Harewood House and Castle Howard just two of several within an hour’s drive. A cycling city boasting two theatres, character pubs and great shopping, York has it all.
