North Gate House, Yorkshire

North Gate House is a stunning 1720 stone lodge in Middleham, Yorkshire Dales. Built using stone from the original North Gate to Middleham Castle, this recently renovated 4-bedroom beauty combines historical character with modern luxury. The property sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout.

The Yorkshire Dales location puts you right in the middle of England's most spectacular countryside. Middleham itself is a proper Yorkshire village with traditional pubs, eateries and shops all within walking distance. Perfect for walkers, history lovers and anyone who enjoys a proper pint after a day exploring the dramatic landscapes. And let's be honest - after hiking those hills, your legs will thank you for that hot tub session.

Accommodation includes two super king-size bedrooms and two doubles, with three bathrooms ensuring nobody's doing the cross-legged dance outside the door. The kitchen boasts an electric range cooker, wine cooler and Krups coffee machine - because nobody should face the Dales uncaffeinated. There's even a games room for when the weather does its typical Yorkshire thing.

Nearby attractions include the impressive Middleham Castle (0.2 miles, 3-minute walk), the stunning Aysgarth Falls (9 miles, 20 minutes), The Forbidden Corner gardens (4 miles, 10 minutes) and the Wensleydale Creamery (9 miles, 20 minutes) - because no Yorkshire trip is complete without proper cheese.

North Gate House is ideal for family gatherings or friends' getaways. The covered hot tub with speakers might just be the best place to sip wine and share stories after a day of adventures. Who needs a five-star hotel when you've got this?
