Tawny Lodge is a charming and cosy woodland retreat, perfectly designed for a relaxing escape. Set close to the Acomb area, the lodge offers an abundance of nearby shops, cafés, supermarkets and places to eat, making it easy to enjoy both convenience and seclusion during your stay.
Inside, you’ll find a beautifully presented open plan living space with warm wooden floors and underfloor heating throughout, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere all year round. The well equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare holiday meals, and the dining table comfortably seats two, making it ideal for intimate evenings in.
The living area is perfect for unwinding, whether you’re enjoying a quiet night in on the sofa with a movie or simply relaxing after a day exploring York. From here, doors open onto a private terrace and balcony area, where you can take in peaceful views over the surrounding woodland. It’s a tranquil spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening drink while watching birds and local wildlife in their natural setting.
The lodge is especially suited for couples looking for a romantic getaway but also offers flexibility for small families, with a travel cot available if needed. It works equally well for both leisure breaks and serviced stays, whether short or long term.
The bedroom is comfortable and thoughtfully designed, with an ensuite bathroom featuring both a bath and an overhead shower, as well as a small walk in wardrobe for added convenience.
For those wishing to explore, York city centre is just a five minute drive away, with a regular bus service also available. The property includes parking for one car and a dedicated EV charger, allowing you to leave the car and explore with ease once you arrive.
Tawny Lodge offers the perfect blend of peaceful woodland living and easy access to one of the UK’s most historic and vibrant cities, making it an ideal base for both relaxation and adventure.

Peace and nature just outside the center of York
1 May 2026

Tawny Lodge is very special to us. We had bicycles with us: a 7-minute bike ride to the Cathedral. And a bus downtown stops right outside the gate. Inside everything is provided and it is spacious. The owners have taken care of this apartment in their own unique way, and with vision. Nature is important to them. The house has a very large backyard that they let go completely wild, making it very bird-friendly. We counted 16 different species. Including the namesake: a Tawny Owl, which looked us straight in the eyes one evening. To be able to see all those birds and the garden clearly, including two foxes, the owners made the fence around the big balcony/terrace out of glass. And they prune the trees right next to it, so you have a constant good view of this lovely city garden/forest. Something else special: there is a charging point for an electric car, next to their own for their own car. Especially for guests, and it is free!
Enjoyable stay

Had an enjoyable stay everything as advertised. Excellent bus routes & good location had everything I needed. Quiet property loved being close to nature & watching birds. Only minor issues were the comfort of the sofa which sagged & cleanliness of outside decking which hadnt been cleaned. Very minor issues that didnt effect the stay.
Very comfortable

Very comfortable accommodation although sofa is more suited to tall people- as an average height female I did slide off. Would be useful if the directions stated that its between the turnings Moorgate and West Bank. As the house doesnt have a number I had to park the car and go and look for it. Some of the items in the kitchen drawer were not particularly clean but I guess that reflects previous occupants rather than the cleaners. It is comfortable and convenient if you have a car. The garden is overgrown and if it was me I would have some pictures on the walls: its quite functional and masculine
Great place for a short break

Fabulous stay - cant fault it

What a great place to stay, very clean and well equipped, shower was better than at home. Very comfortable bed. Could not fault it and one of the best places we have stayed in the uk. Great location with a bus stop right outside the door to go into town and your own parking space. Will defiantly book again if we ever go back to York
