    “We had a lovely week in this cosy lodge.”

    It is very small and doesn't have a lounge area. However, the outdoor covered seating area is delightful, with a heater and coloured lights after dark. The only difficulty for us (both in our 70s) was that the bed is against the wall on three sides. This caused some problems when getting in and out of bed, especially during the night! The gardens are extensive and wonderful and we enjoyed watching the variety of birds coming to feed, including a woodpecker. The hooting of owls was a new ...

    It is very small and doesn't have a lounge area. However, the outdoor covered seating area is delightful, with a heater and coloured lights after dark. The only difficulty for us (both in our 70s) was that the bed is against the wall on three sides. This caused some problems when getting in and out of bed, especially during the night! The gardens are extensive and wonderful and we enjoyed watching the variety of birds coming to feed, including a woodpecker. The hooting of owls was a new experience for us. The owner, Sharon, was extremely helpful and friendly.

Snape Castle Holiday Homes

The Snape Castle Holiday Homes consist of a stunning selection of three properties resting in Snape near Bedale, a quaint town in North Yorkshire. These retreats offer countryside views on the amazing grounds of Snape Castle, making it suited to families, groups of friends, and couples. With a rich history and the castle owner on-hand to provide expertise and guidance should you wish, this collection offers a truly special escape. The grounds are home to the original 14th-century spiral staircase that Catherine Parr used; Catherine Parr was Queen of England and Ireland as the last of the six wives of King Henry VIII from their marriage on 12 July 1543 until Henry's death on 28 January 1547. Snape Castle is a Grade I-listed 15th-century, historic Tudor castle with extensive castle grounds and gardens guests can enjoy exclusively when booking. Both Celily Neville and Queen Anne have also lived at the castle, providing a link to Richard lll; Neville being his mother and Anne his wife. Today, the castle combines historic character with all the contemporary comforts needed for a 21st-century holiday. The castle is home to Tawney and barn owls which can often be heard and seen flying from tree to tree in the evenings and also resident bats fly around the castle at dusk and plenty of pleasant country walks can be taken directly from the castle. Within easy reach of the castle are museums, cycling routes, swimming country houses and gardens open to the public, horse riding, market towns, the Wensleydale creamery, climbing, bushcraft, golf, hiking, orienteering and fishing, so you will not be left short of things to do. Should you be staying in one of the dog-friendly accommodations, The Castle Arms pub in the village welcomes your four-legged friends and serves meals, but if you prefer to whip something up at home, there is a small farm shop, Carricks, which is open Tuesdays to Saturdays. In the nearby town of Bedale a public leisure centre, cafés, butchers, bakers, greengrocers, a Post Office, cashpoints, supermarkets and golf club, an array of takeaways, and tourist information centre, so though you will feel the peace and tranquillity of the Snape Castle Holiday Homes, a little bit of hustle and bustle is just a short drive away. The surroundings include the wonderful Thorp Perrow Arboretum and Bird of Prey & Mammal Centre, where you can have an idyllic stroll viewing some rare trees as well as seeing some rare animals. Venture further afield for a group day out by going to Ripon to see the exhibits at the Ripon Workhouse Museum, try out some rides at the Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park, or take in the pretty views of the Ripon Spa Gardens. In Harmby, go for a serene walk to check out the picturesque Harmby Waterfall, visit Middleham Castle to see the remains of Richard III's childhood home, or go to The Forbidden Corner to see the walled gardens. Perhaps make your way to Darlington to see the interactive railway museum, Hopetown Darlington, see a show for some entertainment at the Hippodrome, or amble through the market hall for something to buy. Book Snape Castle Holiday Homes for an immense getaway that you will remember forever.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
