The Sycamores, Yorkshire

The Sycamores is a spacious ground-floor lodge in Eppleby, North Yorkshire. This three-bedroom retreat sits in peaceful countryside with its own private garden and paddock. Perfect for families with three bathrooms - no more morning queues for the shower! The layout works brilliantly for mixed groups who want their own space but still enjoy quality time together.

Set in the quiet village of Eppleby, you're surrounded by Yorkshire's stunning landscapes. Fancy a pint? The local pub is less than a mile away - close enough to stumble home after a few too many. The private hot tub is a game-changer after long walks exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park. There's also a firepit for evening drinks under the stars. Warning: may cause inappropriate storytelling after dark.

The accommodation includes three bedrooms (all with super comfy beds according to guests), three bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, utility room, dining area and sitting room with Smart TV and electric log burner. Everything's on one level, making it accessible for everyone. Outside you'll find a gravelled and lawn garden with BBQ facilities and that all-important hot tub.

Nearby attractions include Raby Castle (15 miles, 25 minutes), Richmond Castle (8 miles, 15 minutes), Barnard Castle (12 miles, 20 minutes) and the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park (10 miles, 20 minutes). The village tea rooms come highly recommended by previous guests.

The Sycamores is ideal for family gatherings, friends' reunions or couples wanting extra space. Dogs welcome too! Book if you want spotlessly clean accommodation with attentive owners who leave homemade cakes. Yes, actual cakes.
