About this property
This well-presented, glamping pod enjoys a rural position on the south-eastern fringes of the North York Moors National Park. With easy access to the amenities of Scarborough, Sunset Retreat is an ideal base for couples looking to escape to North Yorkshire. After a day of walking, kick off your walking boots and step into the open-plan living area, collapsing on the sofa after you get the woodburner going. There is a dining area for two, where you can enjoy a romantic dinner prepared in the well-appointed kitchen, housing all the necessities for a short break. As the night rolls in, retire to the sumptuous double bed and dream about the adventures to come. Awaken from a leisurely slumber with a rinse in the shower room, before preparing a coffee and heading out to the patio furniture for a morning ponder. You might even be tempted by the luxury of the hot tub, starting the day with a relaxing soak. Get to know the surrounding area as you wander over the neighbouring hills and luscious open countryside, or if you’re seeking a bit more adventure, head to the North Yorkshire Water Park, with inflatable courses, kayaking and paddleboarding, a zip line, climbing wall and wakeboarding as well as the Wykeham Lakes Fishery where you can hook your catch of the day. If you fancy a night away from the kitchen, head into Scarborough and if you don’t fancy cooking, treat your loved one to an evening meal at one of the nearby eateries, such as El Gringos, for Tex-Mex cuisine, or Lezzet Mediterranean Bistro, for a Mediterranean sharing platter. There's plenty to fill your holiday itinerary at Sunset Retreat.

We both work on a farm so waking up to seeing free-range chickens and horses was so lovely and peaceful, only improvement we could make would be to have a visitor information booklet for how to work some of the facilities e.g dish washer

Very comfortable has all facilities you need. Hot tub was amazing. Was a really relaxing break loved all the animals around us particularly the black cat ?simba that visited everyday. Very cute. The only thing we won't over keen on was the mattress but wouldn't stop us returning. Highly recommend.

The lodge is beautiful, has everything you need. The place is so quiet and peaceful. Great location for a day out at Scarborough, and a great pub (Ye Olde Forge) 2 miles away which is a nice walk. Communication with the owners was also good. We're definitely planning to return!
