About this property

Lovingly hand-built these Scandinavian log cabins offer a peaceful countryside escape, each privately situated to make the most of the tranquil views across open farm fields and rolling meadows. Thoughtfully designed and furnished to a high standard, these charming lodges sleep up to four guests comfortably, with one inviting double bedroom and a second bedroom that can be set up as either a twin or an additional double to suit your needs.

The cabin features an open-plan living space with a cosy lounge, TV, and radio, alongside a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, fridge, and microwave, everything you need for a relaxed self-catered stay. The modern shower room, along with provided bed linen, duvets, and towels, ensures your comfort is covered from the moment you arrive.

Triple glazed and centrally heated, these cabins are warm and welcoming in all seasons—whether you’re visiting in the height of summer or the crisp beauty of winter.

    Really lovely spot. Situated on a working farm it was a real joy to be greeted by the cattle as we drove in. Cabin was warm and comfortable and very clean. Only thing to be aware of for those glued to their phones that phone signal is very weak. Also if you are driving a very low car that it is a green track to the cabins. The Cabins are a five minute drive from a Designer Outlet with free parking and a Park and Ride stop to take you directly into York. Its also very close to several large supermarkets. I would highly recommend a stay here.
