January is feeling like a long month already! But there is hope of the spring to come….snowdrops are peeping through the cold ground, and I was surprised to see how far on the daffodils are in the pots outside Little Lodge.

Ferrensby is a 5-minute drive from Lodge cottages and there you can find The General Tarleton The General Tarleton, Ferrensby | Pub with Rooms near Harrogate

– recently re-opened under the leadership of Tommy Banks. Everyone is talking about it! We had a delicious lunch there- and are recommending it to all of our guests! Lovely treat on a grim cold day!

William Sitwell from The Daily Telegraph describes its as “a gastronomic pleasure dome”.

Recommend you book for lunch or dinner at this wonderful country pub when you book to stay at Lodge Cottages.
