Captain Cook Lodge Great Ayton

This is Captain Cook Lodge. It's in a new development, Roseberry View, built in 2019. There are ten lodges around a private lake.

It sleeps eight. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It's got a 5 Star rating, which means it's well-equipped and finished to a high standard. It's open plan.

The lodge looks out over the lake and you can see Roseberry Topping and Captain Cook's Monument from the windows. There's a hot tub on the decking. Inside, there's a wood burner for cooler nights.

The development has some shared facilities. There's a children's playground and a barbecue area. There's a clear-fronted sauna you can book to use, which also has views of Roseberry Topping. There's a small boating lake on-site too.

You're on the edge of the North York Moors. A public footpath goes through the fields to Great Ayton village, about a mile away. They've got a few shops and pubs there, and a good ice cream shop.

For a day out, you can walk up Roseberry Topping. It's a proper little mountain. The North York Moors National Park is about a 20 minute drive south for walking or cycling. The coast at Saltburn is about 13 miles away. Middlesbrough, with the Captain Cook Museum, is 20 minutes north.

In terms of what's here: there's a washing machine, a dishwasher, WiFi, and TV. Bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and a highchair if you need them. There's parking right outside. No pets allowed.
