Campfire Ditty

Campfire Ditty: North Yorkshire

Although this wooden lodge sits in the middle of a leafy caravan park in the North Yorkshire countryside just outside of Whitby, there's nothing temporary or makeshift about the living quarters. In fact, there's a contemporary style and enough high-quality amenities that would see it slot quite easily into the swishest of city neighbourhoods.

The double-height windows in the living room do a brilliant job of bathing the interior in natural light, as well as offering peaceful views of the surrounding trees. This architectural feature makes the communal space a lovely spot for relaxing, whether that's cuddling up next to the wood-burning fireplace or cooking up something hearty in the super-sleek kitchen.

If you're paying a visit during the warmer months – or you just want to emulate the hardiness of local Yorkshire folk during the colder seasons – you can make the most of the home's private terrace complete with seating. There are also plenty of walking routes and historic attractions in the surrounding North Yorks Moors National Parks, as well as the village of Egton and its pub lying within walking distance. The quirky seaside town of Whitby takes less than a quarter of an hour to reach in the car, too.



Home truths:
*The home is spread over a single floor
*There's space for up to two cars to park at the front of the lodge
*One well-behaved dog is welcome to accompany you during your stay, although Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, Akitas, Alsatians, Huskies, American Bulldogs, Dobermans and Mastiffs are not permitted
