Medlar Lodge

Tucked away between Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, this cosy wooden lodge is an excellent base for a family getaway filled with fun, nature, and a touch of history. 2 miles away, hop on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for a scenic steam train ride through the moorland to Whitby.

It’s a magical way to see the countryside. Outdoor lovers will enjoy Dalby Forest (11.5 miles), with its walking and cycling trails, adventure playgrounds, and thrilling treetop courses.

For theme park fun, Flamingo Land (5.5 miles) mixes exciting rides with a zoo full of amazing animals. Visit the past at Castle Howard (15.5 miles), one of England’s grandest stately homes, where children can run wild in the gardens and playground.

And when the coast calls, Whitby, Scarborough, and Filey are all within 25 miles for sandy beach days, seaside treats, and traditional family fun. For a day out in the city, visit York (26 miles) with its abundance of independent shops, eateries and attractions.

Step inside and be greeted by a stylish blend of modern design and warm, rustic charm. Think rich wooden panelling, sleek contemporary lighting, soft brown leathers and chic, open-plan living – all set against the tranquil backdrop of the North York Moors.

The lounge is the heart of the home, complete with two plush sofas, a statement armchair, and a Smart TV. Whether you're catching up on the latest films, watching the big match, or just having a quiet night in, you’ll have everything at your fingertips.

For gamers in the group, a PlayStation 4 awaits, with games and extra controllers available from reception. The modern kitchen is fully equipped for a hassle-free self-catering stay, featuring a dishwasher, wine cooler, and all the cookware you could need.
