Life slows down the moment you arrive. The light-filled living area at the far end of the lodge offers a peaceful space to settle in, whether that’s curling up on the sofa by the electric fire, listening to your favourite tunes or gazing out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the rolling meadows. Step outside and the experience becomes even more special. On your private veranda, a freestanding outdoor bath tub awaits for long, indulgent soaks beneath the stars while you share stories and make plans for the following day. Sinking into warm water and bubbles with a glass of Yorkshire wine in hand is a moment that feels quietly unforgettable.

Taras Sarn is run entirely on solar and wind power, meaning you can relax even further in the knowledge that you’re supporting the planet.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at Taras Sarn for our anniversary. Spacious and spotless throughout, it’s furnished and finished to a very high standard. The location is great for easy access into York for the day (only 20 mins to York Park & Ride) and also towards towns like Helmsley, but it is beautifully quiet. The perfect break, we will be back again soon.

Beautiful accommodation with the most amazing view across the Vale of York, especially from the outdoor bath. Decorated and furnished to a very high standard, there was nothing we were short of.  There are two excellent pubs within walking distance and a farm shop on the estate, meaning we didn’t have to stress about driving anywhere. We contacted them ahead of time, and they arranged for all of our food to be delivered to the property. No stress of parking as there is a designated space, plus surplus parking if required. Can highly recommend this fabulous place.
