Cass Lodge in York offers a tranquil, clean, and comfortable stay with a welcoming host. Guests appreciate the thoughtful welcome pack and the hot tub, despite some strict usage rules. The property is well-equipped and decorated, providing a peaceful retreat within driving distance of local amenities and attractions in North Yorkshire.
Guests consistently praise the property for its exceptional cleanliness, with one review highlighting it as the cleanest they've ever visited.
The location is described as peaceful and quiet, ideal for exploring North Yorkshire. While not within walking distance to local amenities, it's a short drive away and offers easy access to York.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, though one review noted that the lounge seating is more suited for four people rather than five.
Facilities like WiFi and the hot tub are well-received, but the hot tub's strict rules and the issue with water levels have affected guests' comfort slightly.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly for the welcome pack with homemade items. However, future guests should kindly note that such gifts, while delightful, may not always be provided.

Cass Lodge is a charming red brick barn conversion surrounded by open countryside on the owner’s arable farm. Set in a very quiet, peaceful location with no light pollution, and on a clear night, the Milky Way can be seen! The cottage looks out onto open fields where the owners keep a small flock of rare Boreray sheep, which originally hail from the Outer Hebrides. At times, there may also be piglets on the farm.
It is ideally suited to the cyclist/walking/retired person fraternity, being situated on, and close to, idyllic quiet country lanes/roads in picturesque countryside and within easy reach of various parts of Sustran cycle routes 65, 66, 166, 167, 656 and 658 which form part of the Way of the Roses, Yorkshire Wolds and Trans Pennine (east) cycle routes. You’ll be perfectly placed close to many of the locations used in the Tour de Yorkshire endurance cycle races which were broadcast around the world.
There are walks straight from your door, and the local countryside is criss-crossed with walks and public rights of way - through woodland and across farmland, opening up to lovely views of the Hambleton Hills, Pennines, Cleveland Hills and Vales of York, Pickering and Mowbray. Cass Lodge is within easy reach of the North Yorks Moors - recently voted as the best National Park in the country in 2018, and also the Yorkshire Dales and the coast, all with a plethora of walks. There are also national trails such as the Cleveland Way, Yorkshire Wolds Way, and the Lyke Wake Walk, a challenging route of over 40 miles across the Yorkshire Moors to the coast which has to be completed in under 24 hours. There are some excellent tea rooms in the area, all very popular with walkers and cyclists alike.
There are many castles, abbeys and prestigious country homes to visit, many open to the public and the most notable being Castle Howard, Beningbrough Hall and Fountains Abbey. Byland Abbey, Rievaulx Abbey, Ampleforth Abbey, Sheriff Hutton Castle (Richard III), Scarborough Castle, Harewood House, are either on the doorstep or all within a very easy drive. For the gardeners among you, Newby Hall with its famous borders is a 30 minute drive away, or alternatively Helmsley walled garden Scampston Hall, RHS Harlow Carr, Studley Royal and Fountains Abbey, with their water gardens and deer park, Stillingfleet Lodge garden, Thorpe Perrow Arboretum are all worth a visit.

We had a lovely week at Cass Lodge, it has everything you could need for a comfortable, relaxing stay. The welcome basket and flowers were a beautiful welcome gift.Easy access to York from here and we had some great local walks, Helen was so helpful with recommended routes and local villages. We loved the Mended Drum in Huby.Our children all said they want to stay again so it must be good!

Excellent host, leving us home made biscuits, bread, jam and fresh fruit for our arrival. The house is part of the farm but is pieceful and tranquil nonetheless.
