Griff Lodge,

This delightful, semi-detached bungalow is nestled in the quiet village of Harome in North Yorkshire, close to the North York Moors National Park. Well-presented throughout, Griff Lodge offers a welcoming escape for a small family or two couples wanting to explore all that the area has to offer, with access to stunning countryside and the idyllic Yorkshire coast. The kitchen/dining area is finished in a contemporary style and is sure to be the heart of the home, where you can prepare your meals to be served at the spacious dining table. The bi-floor doors allow seamless integration from the outside in, making this a lovely environment during those warm summer days. The bedrooms are both doubles and provide delightful sleeping quarters, while the modern bathroom is where you can prepare yourself for the day. The enclosed garden is a real sun trap and invites you for a glass of wine whilst you sit back and the children play on the lawn. Wander the cobbled streets of Harome to find two award-winning inns, one with a Michelin starred restaurant, while a little further afield in Helmsley there is a supermarket to grab those last-minute essentials. Unlock 900 years of history at Helmsley Castle, a true English Heritage Site, or wander the landscaped gardens of Duncome Park and visit the Birds of Prey Centre, just four miles away. Further exploration will bring you to the North York Moors National Park, a haven for any outdoor enthusiasts, or visit the seaside town of Scarborough for coastal delights galore. The historical city of York is a 45-minute drive and offers a wealth of shops and ancient attractions, including the gothic-style cathedral and Castle Museum set around a recreated Victorian street. With plenty to keep you busy in, Griff Lodge is a superb choice for a break in the North East of England.
