CONSIDERED FROM THE BEGINNING
Treading lightly.
The Lodge was designed to sit quietly within its woodland setting, with sustainability considered from the very beginning.
Our approach.
Built with care//
Designed by a North Yorkshire architect and hand-built on site · British-grown larch cladding · Screw foundations rather than a concrete base · High-performance insulation · Double-glazed aluminium windows
Low-impact living//
Renewable electricity · Low-energy LED lighting · Smart heating controls · Rainwater harvesting · Composting · Full recycling · Biodegradable cleaning products
Thoughtfully sourced//
Refillable, vegan British-made toiletries · Recycled duvets and pillows made in the UK · Locally roasted coffee · Vintage and second-hand furnishings · Books, games and artwork sourced locally or second-hand
For nature//
No trees were felled to build The Lodge · Organic vegetable garden and small orchard · Bird feeders · Pollinator-friendly planting · Honeybees
Leave the car behind//
The Cinder Track and Cleveland Way are nearby, with secure bicycle storage at The Lodge. Regular buses through Burniston connect with Scarborough and Whitby, making it easy to explore more of the coast without driving.
We believe luxury and a lighter footprint can sit comfortably together. Small choices, thoughtfully made, help us care for the landscape we're lucky enough to call home.
