One bedroom is a double with an en-suite shower room located on the ground floor, while the other two bedrooms are on the first floor along with two bathrooms, each with both a shower and bath. Whether you’re unwinding from a busy lifestyle back home or a day out cycling the Tour de Yorkshire trail, the serene atmosphere of Mason Lodge ensures a restful night’s sleep for everyone. 

Relax

The Broughton Estate really is the perfect place to unwind and recharge. Here you can enjoy peaceful strolls through ancient woodlands, take a moment to relax by the river, or even try forest bathing to truly immerse yourself in nature and mindfulness. For those seeking a bit of pampering, the estate offers an indoor swimming pool, as well as yoga and Pilates classes which you can pre-book. If you’re looking for a quiet space to unwind inside, Mason Lodge’s cosy sitting room with its fireplace and garden views is the ideal spot to curl up with a book and a mug of cocoa. 

Explore

This is an absolutely ideal base for exploring the stunning landscapes and charming towns of the Yorkshire Dales. Just a short drive away is the bustling market town of Skipton, known for its cobbled streets, picturesque canals, and the famous Skipton Castle. For nature lovers, the surrounding area is filled with beautiful walking and cycling routes as well as more challenging routes for those who want to enjoy some cardio. For easier walks, visit Gordale Scar or explore the picturesque villages of Grassington and Kettlewell, both within reach.
