Roseberry Lodge

This single-storey wooden lodge sits in the countryside of Carlton-in-Cleveland, North Yorkshire, with panoramic views across the Cleveland Hills. The lodge suits families, friends, or two couples seeking a rural retreat – the North York Moors National Park stretches out from the doorstep with scenic walking routes and birdwatching throughout.

The remnants of Whorlton Castle, a 12th-century fortress with expansive moorland views, stand 3.5 miles away, while the medieval Carthusian monastery at Mount Grace Priory, House and Gardens is 9 miles away. Cod Beck Reservoir (5.5 miles) draws walkers with its picturesque circular trail and rich birdlife.

The historic market town of Stokesley (4 miles) has a wide cobbled high street lined with Georgian and Regency buildings, and a weekly Friday market held on the main square. Sandy beaches at Saltburn Beach, Redcar Beach, and Marske-by-the-Sea Beach are all within 17.5 miles.

A step leads up to the front door, opening into a bright, open-plan living space where double glass doors flood the room with natural light. The sitting area is a comfortable spot to rest up after a day on the moors, with a Smart TV and DVD player for quieter evenings indoors.

Alongside, the dining area has a table where the whole group can gather for meals together, and the kitchen beyond is well stocked with equipment for self-catering stays. Two king-size bedrooms lead off from the main living space.

The first has its own en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower and WC – useful when two couples are sharing the lodge. The second king-size bedroom is served by the main bathroom, which features a shower over the bath and a WC.

As a single-storey property, all rooms sit on one level with a straightforward flow between spaces. The enclosed garden includes a turf area with outdoor furniture for al fresco dining and a decked patio.
