Description

Escape to the beauty of North Yorkshire at Westholme Country Lodge, a luxurious countryside retreat where contemporary design meets the tranquillity of rural living.

Tucked away at the end of a long private driveway within a peaceful equestrian smallholding, this beautifully appointed detached lodge sleeps up to eight guests and offers an unforgettable escape surrounded by rolling countryside and far-reaching views.

Whether you’re planning a family holiday, celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a weekend with friends, or visiting for a day at the races, Westholme Country Lodge provides the perfect setting to relax, reconnect and experience the very best of Yorkshire.

Wake each morning to the sight of horses grazing peacefully in the neighbouring paddocks before enjoying breakfast overlooking the surrounding countryside.

Throughout the seasons, the ever-changing landscape creates a spectacular backdrop, while the peaceful setting allows you to truly switch off from everyday life.

At the heart of the lodge is a stunning open-plan living space, beautifully designed for spending time together.

The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped for everything from relaxed breakfasts to celebratory evening meals, while the spacious dining area invites everyone to gather after a day of exploring.

The comfortable sitting area offers the perfect place to unwind, with sumptuous leather sofas, a warming gas fire and impressive bifold doors opening directly onto the patio.

Throw the doors open on warmer days and let the fresh Yorkshire air become part of your living space or simply sit back with a glass of wine while watching the sun dip below the surrounding fields.

Westholme Lodge comfortably sleeps eight guests across four beautifully presented double bedrooms.

On the ground floor, a spacious bedroom with electric adjustable beds sits alongside a contemporary bathroom with a walk-in shower, offering flexible accommodation for guests who appreciate step-free living or multi-generational family stays.

Upstairs, three further bedrooms provide calm and inviting spaces to retreat to, including a stunning principal bedroom positioned behind the lodge’s dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazed frontage.

Wake to panoramic countryside views stretching across the surrounding paddocks; a peaceful start to every day.

A luxurious family bathroom with both a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower completes the first floor.

Outside, the enclosed garden offers plenty of space for children and four-legged friends to enjoy safely while adults relax on the patio or dine alfresco surrounded by nature.

As evening falls, sink into the private hot tub and soak beneath Yorkshire’s expansive, star-filled skies while taking in the uninterrupted rural views - an unforgettable way to end the day.

Ideally located just a short drive from the historic market town of Thirsk, guests can enjoy independent boutiques, welcoming cafés, traditional pubs, and the renowned World of James Herriot Museum.

Thirsk Racecourse, one of Yorkshire’s most popular racing venues, is also nearby, making Westholme Lodge an excellent choice for race weekends, special celebrations and short luxury breaks.

Perfectly positioned between the North York Moors National Park and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the lodge offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring some of England’s most spectacular landscapes.

Visit the iconic White Horse at Kilburn, Sutton Bank, discover the breathtaking ruins of Rievaulx Abbey & Byland Abbey, wander the charming market towns of Helmsley, Malton and Northallerton, or spend a day exploring the medieval streets, independent shops, and magnificent Minster in the beautiful city of York.

For those wishing to venture further afield, the Yorkshire coastline is within easy reach, with Redcar, Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay and Scarborough offering dramatic coastal scenery, sandy beaches, and traditional seaside charm.

Whether you’re opening the bifold doors to enjoy breakfast overlooking the paddocks, relaxing in the hot tub beneath the stars after a day at the races, or simply soaking up the peace and beauty of the Yorkshire countryside, Westholme Country Lodge is a place where unforgettable memories are made and where you’ll want to return again and again.

The property was fantastic- it was exceptionally clean, furnishings a high standard , well equipped and the hosts Dan and Emma couldn’t do enough for you.

There was a lovely welcome hamper, flowers and lots of little touches like trays with water in every room .The views were amazing and we loved the hot tub. Also lots of places near by to visit like Northallerton and Helmsley. The greyhound pub was lovely for food and 5 minute drive away. We had a great time and would highly recommend property and will definitely be returning.

Absolutely amazing cottage, cleanliness was spot on and facilities were excellent.

Only things I would advise would be extra seating in living room, tvs in bedrooms and a more secure, appropriate fencing around the garden, or an area that is completely fenced in for dogs. Mine had to be kept on leads as would have easily jumped the fence which wasnt ideal during a relaxing weekend.

The lodge was lovely.

I gather it’s relatively new and certainly appears so. With 4 rooms you and you family and friends can all enjoy and it is of value one room is downstairs. The communal space feel light and airy- it’s an inviting space that is open plan that is both modern and works so well here. The bathrooms are lovely - the upper one especially with the bath under the skylight. If you got the lighting right and the weather allowed I imagine you could star gaze from here. The hot tub was nice. I found it a little tepid but, I like lobster pot hot. My daughter loved it. In middle of field you could be anywhere. You see the cares etc at the road but don’t hear them. In sum, if you want to get away from the rat race and enjoy some county and lovely walks this is for you. What’s not to like
