Resting in the rural village of Allerston in North Yorkshire, is this remarkable, detached holiday home, Foxes Den. Benefitting from a bubbling hot tub and near the North York Moors National Park, this two-bedroom lodge is ideal for a group of four. Upon arrival, be greeted by off-road parking and make your way inside through the French doors to unveil the open-plan living space. Featuring vaulted ceilings and a woodburning stove, you can look forward to curling up on the sofa with a Smart TV to keep you entertained. Stepping over to the kitchen, the designated chef will be thrilled with the oven and hob to rustle up tasty dishes and when dinner is served, dine together at the table, and uncork a bottle of fizz. When the weather is warm, venture outside and unwind on the outdoor furniture or climb into your swimming attire for a soothing soak in the hot tub. As the evening draws to a close, retreat inside and climb up the wooden staircase to the mezzanine bedroom with a king-size bed or choose the king-size on the ground-floor. Begin your day with a moment of relaxation in the bathroom with a bubble bath in the freestanding tub or rinse off in the spacious walk-in shower to revive. If you fancy a break from the kitchen, a short stroll will lead you to The Cayley Arms for a home-cooked meal or venture to the village of Thornton Dale for a crisp pint at a Georgian inn. Jump in the car to visit the vibrant market town of Pickering, here you can browse independent shops for a souvenir, tour the ancient castle or if that's not for you head outside of Pickering for a scream at Flamingo Land Resort! Avid walkers can take advantage of the close proximity of the North York Moors National Park to soak in the dramatic landscape on a hike or head to the coastal town of Scarborough, lined with arcades and traditional fish and chip shops.
