Skipton Lodge

A rural North Yorkshire bolthole with a private hot tub, dreamily located at the ‘Gateway to the Dales' with a wealth of tracks and cycle trails right on the doorstep.

If you love getting up close and personal with the Great Outdoors, the Yorkshire Dales is an idyllic setting for a refreshing break.

And with a stay at Skipton Lodge, you can escape into nature without having forgo any of those essential holiday comforts!

Sleeping up to 4 guests, the sumptuous, open plan haven boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and bi-folding doors that allow you to welcome the outside in on sunny days, and watch storms unfold on grey ones, accompanied by a steaming cuppa.

There are all the mod-cons you might expect, including a Smart TV and a well-equipped kitchen (with an all-important dishwasher!)  And at the end of a long day exploring nature, two elegant kingsize bedrooms - both with their own en-suite - will be waiting.

Of course, you'll be spending most of your time outside, and with a sunken hot tub and charcoal barbecue on the deck... not to mention a tiered garden area across the babbling brook, complete with a stargazing firepit, you can life the luxury life al fresco.
