Recharge your batteries and reconnect with friends or family at this extra-special holiday hideaway. One of a collection of holiday homes within a private village site, it’s surrounded by stunning countryside and has wonderful walks from the doorstep, perfect if your party includes any four-pawed pals. Just 3 miles away, the market town of Settle sits at the gateway to Upper Ribblesdale. Famous as the starting point of the Settle-Carlisle Railway, the town is home to listed buildings, independent shops and friendly inns, and hosts a bustling weekly market. There’s a lovely riverside walk here, but for longer hikes, head into the Yorkshire Dales National Park. For a real challenge, tackle the Yorkshire Three Peaks: Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough (all within 14 miles). Alternatively, head across the Forest of Bowland National Landscape to tour historic Lancaster (23 miles west) and stroll the golden sands of Morecambe Bay.
Escape to this ultra-luxe holiday lodge in a lovely setting. Its impressive interior styling starts in the spacious hallway where there’s bench seating and room to store coats, boots and outdoor gear. Further on, the open-plan living space is simply stunning, with glass bi-folding doors along one side allowing far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside, plus a pleasing flow of natural light. Serve up home-cooked feasts from the state-of-the-art kitchen, enjoy lively conversation around the elegant dining suite then stretch out to watch TV in the comfortable lounge area. This multi-purpose space will be the social hub of your holiday. When it’s time to sleep, a corridor leads to two restful bedrooms: a master with a king-size bed and its own en-suite bathroom, and a second room with a super-king-size bed that can, on request, be made up as twin beds. A separate shower room ensures comfort for all.
The attention to detail continues outdoors, where you’ll find wrap-around decking, comfortable seating and a BBQ area with dining furniture. A sunken hot tub, a sauna and an outdoor shower, all delightfully private for laid-back luxury, with dreamy views of the hills stretch into the distance. There is off-road parking for two cars.
