The Rounton
Cosied in between The Hornby and The Welbury, The Rounton shares the amazing views and tranquillity of the retreat along with the added luxury of your own private hot tub on your patio area.
The Connection
Sharing it’s name with the Rountons, both East and West Rounton are found East of the retreat, turning left just as you get into Appleton Wiske. Heading towards the Rountons you will stumble upon White Gates Cafe and Nursery with an amazing cafe and fantastic Nursery there is no shortage of inspiration, friendly welcomes and amazing home made food. A little further down the road through West Rounton is the working dairy farm of Stamfrey Farm, with it’s innovative vending machine you can buy fresh dairy products including some amazing, freshly made milk shakes (look out for the weekly specials, Black Cherry when writing this!). Along with its own Coffee Roasters, Rounton Coffee (open to the public by appointment only), there is the amazingly well stocked Roots Farm Shop and Cafe, another amazing example of Yorkshire cooking and very warm welcomes.
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.
