The Appleton
Situated on a corner plot of the retreat the Appleton Pod is the only dog friendly luxury pod, with plenty of enclosed outdoor space for your fury friend to exercise along with access to the local footpath and nearby country lane there is lots of space to exercise.
The Appleton is equipped with a Hot Tub. As is the The Rounton and The Welbury pod.
The Connection
The Appleton pod shares it’s name with the neighbouring village, located a long stroll down the adjacent country lane, the village is a perfect example of a North Yorkshire village. Here you can find the Lord Nelson Pub and local Village Shop and Post Office a great place to head for your morning paper, an invigorating morning run or meal and drinks on a balmy summers evening. (Also stockists of the best Chocolate Brownies in the County!)
The Facilities
Each pod is well equipped and very much self-contained. Upon approach to the pod from your private footpath from the car park, you are greeted by your patio (and in the case of The Rounton and The Welbury, your private Hot Tub for two). Your patio is equipped with a table and two outdoor chairs with extremely comfortable cushions to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. A highly recommended addition to this is the option to hire a firepit and even purchase some large marshmallows with toasting fork to enhance your evening as sit and unwind, surrounded by nature.
When entering the pod you are greeted by your lounge/dining room, from here you sit and lounge in front of the TV, sit at the dining table and read through your welcome pack or simply gaze at the amazing views as you decompress and begin your break.
Past the lounge/diner you have your fully equipped kitchenette (Pod Inventory), including everything you could need to be fully self-catered down to the complimentary condiments. Directly opposite the kitchenette is a well-proportioned double bed, located in a cosy, enclosed area of the Pod for a peaceful night’s sleep.
At the very rear of the pod is your bathroom, including a sink, toilet and shower, the bathroom is an ideal size for the pod. Complimentary Shampoo, Conditioner and Body wash is provided, free of disposal packaging from our friends at Earth Unwrapped.
A sky light window, bathroom window and large front door can be opened in the warm summers days to allow the fresh country air to flood the pod or in the winter underfloor heating keeps your feet toasty warm and the pod cosy.
