    “My partner and I stayed here Monday to Saturday .”

    Had a lovely time,the accommodation was really nice also we brought our 1 year old dog here and she loved the fact it had its own enclosed garden so she could run around freely and safely. It was nice to walk around the grounds looking at the farm animals and alpakas that were right next to the accommodation .the lodge was very comfortable and a good heating system also ensuite of bedroom and a separate bathroom. The owners left you to your own devices but also left numbers if you needed them ...

The owners left you to your own devices but also left numbers if you needed them for anything, we very much recommend this property for a nice getaway also a great location to travel to all the tourist spots not too far a drive away. We will definitely be booking again Thank-you for a great week away see you next year.

The property

The Moorlands Farm Lodges

The Moorlands Farm Lodges are a pair of two-bedroom dwellings resting upon a working farm in the rolling countryside of Fewston, North Yorkshire. Positioned within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the collection is enveloped by sweeping rural views, whilst offering families and friends the opportunity for a countryside escape, with livestock as neighbours. Benefit from delightful interiors, well-equipped kitchens, private decked areas, off-road parking, and flexible sleeping arrangements, along with the chance to tour Moorlands Farm and its picturesque grounds. If you don’t fancy cooking whilst staying at the farm, nearby you will find The Sun Inn pub, offering traditional fare, or perhaps travel further towards Harrogate to visit Betty’s Café Tea Rooms for a lovely afternoon of tea and cake. Nearby you’ll also locate Fewston Reservoir, perfect for leisurely strolls or nature-filled hikes, before exploring Harrogate and its host of attractions, including the beautiful surroundings of Valley Gardens and RHS Harlow Carr Gardens, tour the Royal Pump Room Museum, head to Ripley Castle, or travel further along to Mother Shipton's Cave for an underground tour. Across the national park you’ll arrive at a wealth of hidden gems to add to your itinerary, including the Nidderdale Museum, Brimham Rocks, The Steppingstones at The Weir, Valley of desolation waterfall, and Malham Cove. Experience all of this, and more, at the Moorlands Farm Lodges.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
