Katla

A covered hot tub is the real draw at Katla, a two-bedroom lodge in North Yorkshire designed around clean Scandinavian lines and plenty of glass. From the tub you watch the sky change over the surrounding countryside, whatever the weather brings. The whole property is yours alone, with a patio and charcoal barbecue for outdoor entertaining, and the landscaping between lodges means genuine seclusion despite neighbours nearby.

Inside, an open-plan living space centres on a large picture window framing uninterrupted views across farmland and rolling hills. A contemporary kitchen handles self-catering, underfloor heating runs throughout, and a Smart TV means you can stream if you choose. Both bedrooms are ensuite—one with a freestanding bath and separate shower, the other with a walk-in shower and a bed that converts from super king to twins. High ceilings and restful colour schemes make both rooms peaceful retreats. Wifi, bed linen and towels are included; electricity is metered separately.

The lodge suits couples, families and groups of friends looking for a base to explore Yorkshire while enjoying plenty of on-site comfort. Smoking is not permitted indoors. One dog is welcome.
