Valley View

Start your day with a morning stretch in the fitness suite or a sauna. Then wander through for a morning coffee at the breakfast bar or in front of a roaring fire whilst planning your day’s adventure. The heart of this luxury lodge is the large open-plan living and dining area. Dine with panoramic views of the garden and Yorkshire hills beyond. Although decadent and grand in space, it is still cosy with large comfortable seating; the wood burner and underfloor heating add a sense of cosiness in winter months. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors wrap around the house, allowing you to soak in the far-reaching scenes outside.

Spend the afternoon playing pool in the bar area. The loser, or in this case the winner, won't mind cooking for the family in the fabulous state-of-the-art kitchen. The kitchen has everything needed for a luxury self-catering holiday, with all the modern additions to make an incredible cooking experience. It includes an American-style fridge freezer, an ice-cold water dispenser, a bean-to-cup coffee machine, and a four-oven Aga.

If you’re celebrating, or would just prefer to put your feet up, Holiday at Home can even arrange for one of our private chefs to treat you to some fine dining - and they will even load the two dishwashers after your meal. After dinner, sit with your favourite tipple at the bar and relax in front of the second log burning stove in the Snug. Here is a large TV with Sky and Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Every night will need to be an early night at Valley View to take advantage of the sumptuous king-size beds - the perfect tonic for escaping for the weekend from busy lives. Think natural hues, fur throws and sumptuous headboards. The master bedroom has views across rolling hillside through the large bi-fold doors.

In the second bedroom, lie back and stargaze when there are dark skies through the picture-perfect ceiling window. The third bedroom's four-poster certainly makes getting out of bed in the morning that much harder.

The fourth bedroom - a new addition to this hot tub holiday home for Winter 2024 - has similar attributes to the master bedroom boasting both style and comfort.

All four bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms, each with a free-standing bath and walk-in shower. Added luxuries such as a stylish copper bath in the master bedroom's en-suite are perfect for a long soak after a day exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

After a long walk or on a wintry day, come home to enjoy some much-needed pampering. Step into the Villeroy & Boch hydrotherapy hot tub complete with a fluffy robe, glossy magazine, and glass of something special. Sink into the steaming bubbles and feel the tension melt away – even better in colder months when there’s snow on the hills!

Guests can spend evenings by the fire pit, barbecuing from the large 4-burner gas BBQ as the sun goes down. Snuggle up and keep warm on the rattan furniture. Beyond the private enclosed garden with its hydrotherapy hot tub are water features including a small pond.

Guests are welcome to explore the grounds and paddocks at Sun Hill Farm, where the horses graze and racehorses train nearby. There's a viewing platform, and stable tours can be booked in advance.

This gorgeous lodge in the Yorkshire Dales offers state-of-the-art technology throughout, including an impressive Bang & Olufsen music and television system. There are Velux skylights with automatic blinds, air conditioning, underfloor heating, and cosy log-burning stoves.

The kitchen has a full inventory including an American fridge freezer, Aga and separate oven, boiling water tap, dishwasher, and coffee machine. There is a starter pack for the kitchen, fire, and washroom, and a locally sourced welcome hamper. The boot room houses the washer-dryer as well as the separate WC. Also included are high-quality bed linen, towels, bathrobes, and toiletries. There’s good wi-fi and private parking.

Please note this is pet-free holiday accommodation.

This beautiful lodge is situated within the grounds of Sun Hill Farm near Leyburn, North Yorkshire. This allows the dedicated operations team that runs Sun Hill Lodges to enhance your stay with various in-loge exclusives.

The properties at Sun Hill Farm are located on the grounds of racehorse trainer Ann Duffield and her husband, legendary jockey George Duffield MBE. Stable tours can be arranged on request. The beauty of this woodland lodge is seeing the horses training on the gallops that run beyond the end of the garden.

The lodge is set away from the stables, so there’s privacy in the garden of your self-catering luxury lodge.
