South Lodge

Couples and small families will find South Lodge works well for a weekend away, while groups of four can spread out comfortably across two bedrooms. The property is a historic building set among mature trees with views toward open parkland, and it comes with a private hot tub that seats four. One dog is welcome here, though the countryside setting—sheep country—means it needs to stay on a lead. There is private parking for three or more cars, and a bike store if you plan to explore on two wheels.

Everything is on the ground floor. The living space centres on a wood-burning stove with French doors opening onto a wrap-around garden with seating and furniture. The kitchen has an electric range, microwave and dishwasher for the basics, plus a coffee machine. One bedroom has a super king bed, the other a zip-and-link king that can be separated into singles if needed. The bathroom offers a bath with shower, heated towel rail and underfloor heating throughout. Wi-Fi, bed linen, towels and initial fuel for the stove are included; electricity and gas are covered in the price.

The lodge sits within reach of the Yorkshire Wolds and the coast, making it convenient for exploring the wider area. Driffield, a market town with tea rooms, restaurants and independent shops, is a short drive away.
