The Annex at Ryefield Lodge

The Annex at Ryefield Lodge is a pleasant single-storey house in the village of Scholes near Holmfirth, in West Yorkshire.

Perfect for small families, offering child-friendly facilities, an enclosed courtyard garden and easy access to the Peak District National Park.

Take in the serene village setting before pulling into the private driveway as the electric gates open for you.

The exterior is welcoming with potted plants outside, creating a calming ambience.

Shed your coats and shoes in the hallway to settle in.

Store any treats in the freezer in the dining room, then head to the kitchen to store fresh produce in the fridge and crank up the heat on the gas hob.

Once the delicious aromas of your home-made meal fill the air, set the table for four guests, as you tuck in and discuss the adventures ahead.

Once plates are cleared, pop them in the dishwasher, then sink into one of the armchairs or the sofa in the sitting room.

The sitting room is bright and with vibrant soft furnishings, switch on the electric fire set within a stone fireplace, then browse the entertainment on offer on the Smart TV.

When you start to drift off, head to one of the double bedrooms to rest and rejuvenate, one which has the benefit of an en-suite shower room.

For convenience there is a cloakroom to freshen up in.

In the morning, sip a brew in the enclosed south-facing courtyard and fire up the barbecue in the afternoon for some grilled goodness.

Uncover the artefacts at Tolson Memorial Museum, steeped in local history and natural history exhibits.

Take time to view the taxidermied birds and displays exploring everyday life and transport during the First World War.

Wander through the 60 acres of gardens at National Trust- Wentworth Castle Gardens, where deer roam the surrounding parkland and a series of follies add moments of surprise along the way.

Pack your provisions and lace up your hiking boots for the Peak District National Park, where open moorland paths and winding valley trails invite you to slow down and soak up the sweeping landscapes.

The Annex at Ryefield Lodge provides a lovely base for families exploring Peak District National Park.
