Aspen Lodge, Great Ayton

In a quiet, rural location, you will find this newly renovated wooden cabin, surrounded by peace and tranquillity. Nestled in the village of Great Ayton, on the outskirts of the North Yorkshire Moors, you’ll find there are several interesting walks nearby, and if you’re a more adventurous walker, this property makes an excellent base to explore the nearby North Yorkshire Moors National Park. The iconic landmark Roseberry Topping is located within close proximity, with routes to the top so you can enjoy the spectacular views from the summit. The village of Stokesley is a must-visit, with cobbled streets, boutique shops, tea rooms, pubs, and restaurants. Head to the Yorkshire heritage coastline to Saltburn (10 miles) or visit the fishing villages of Staithes (21 miles) and Whitby (27 miles). Step inside from the veranda, into an inviting, spacious hallway, and you will find the accommodation well laid out and stylishly decorated with individual design features that will make for a memorable stay. In true lodge character, you have the warmth of the natural wood blended tastefully with a contemporary interior. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to create fabulous dinners. Sit at the breakfast bar, drink in hand while the chef of the group rustles up a hearty meal. Gather around the dining table in the lounge, planning your next adventure. Then, after dinner, unwind on the comfortable seating around the large Smart TV warmed by the log burner. There is also a handy boot room (that also features a washing machine) off the kitchen where you can leave your wet boots and coats. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a downstairs bathroom with a bath and WC. Venture upstairs when it's time to go to bed and find there is a king-size bedroom with two additional single-chair beds, ideal for a family. This room also has a private balcony with seating should you want to enjoy your morning brew in peace. There is also a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, and all rooms come with quality bedding and fluffy robes for each guest. The large landing area has a further chair bed which can open to become an additional single bed for one extra guest. There is also a luxurious shower room with a shower and WC, with lovely cosmetic dispensers and robes. Outside, the decking sweeps around the lodge to the private hot tub with nearby outdoor seating - a fantastic place to enjoy the summer nights with loved ones and dine alfresco. There is also a special place where your four-legged friend can enjoy their own space in the ‘doghouse’.
