Ground yourself in the extraordinary landscapes of Yorkshire with a stay at this farm lodge nestled on the outskirts of sleepy East Tanfield and just twenty minutes from the historic spa town of Ripon. This home may be set on a picturesque farm, but there's no mucking in here – just pure modern luxury awaits at this home. After bracing walks in the surrounding countryside, kick off muddy boots in the welcoming entrance hall and make your way into the open-plan living space united by elegant, pristine interiors. Sunny days call for barbecues outside on the terrace – the uninterrupted views of the surrounding fields, complete with grazing sheep, are everything you're chasing. And in chiller months, take things inside to hunker down beside the fire – those views will be right there still through the magnificent picture windows which flood the space with natural daylight. Spread out over one level, in the bedrooms you'll love the hotel boutique feel with luxurious bedding, colourful textiles adding layers of interest, and luxurious ensuite bathrooms. When it's time to embrace the great outdoors, you're perfectly placed to explore the Yorkshire Dales National Park (a twenty-minute drive) or keep things local with a five-minute drive... over to the charming neighbouring village of West Tanfield with its historical sites, traditional inns and warm welcome.

About North Yorkshire
England’s largest ceremonial county, almost half of North Yorkshire is covered in National Parkland.
