The Experience
Two lovely places to stay. One is tucked next to Rick and Sue’s house, strewn with roses and hollyhocks in summer and with a cosy beamed sitting room (watch your head), warming wood-burner and sheepskin rugs. The other is a little loft conversion reached down a path lined with espaliered apple trees and tubs of flowers – a glass door leads to a contemporary space with an open-plan sitting room/dining room.
Both have smart kitchens with all the kit you need and you’re left a delicious home-baked loaf, homemade marmalade, butter and milk for your first breakfast. With a bit of notice Rick, a trained chef, will cook you a superb three-course supper.
Outdoor spaces for both cottages mean you can eat al fresco on balmy evenings, or simply nip next door to the pub. Walk for miles, cycle quiet roads, visit Staveley Nature Reserve for otters and deer, geese and owls. Return to your sweet retreat and sleep well between crisp white sheets.

A beautiful spot in an enchanting, peaceful village with great access to Harrogate, York, Ripon & Skipton. The cottage is extremely well equipped and they even managed to build a pub right next door - The Royal Oak, where the food and service were excellent. Rick's knowledge of the area and his travel recommendations were very much. appreciated.

We had a lovely stay here. The Garden Lodge has everything you need, the accommodation was of a high standard and is a peaceful place to return to at the end of the day. We ate at the pub next door on 2 out of our 4 nights here, which we found to be very good. The Garden Lodge makes for a convenient launch pad to visit York, Harrogate and The Dales beyond.

We had a relaxing break at Little Lodge and found it charming, comfortable, prettily furnished and with a well equipped kitchen . Rick and Sue are lovely hosts and we had an excellent home cooked meal on our first night from ex chef Rick. There is masses to do locally and we packed in York, Fountains Abbey and more then relaxed in the super pub next door and finally to a lovely bed.

We chose Garden Lodge as a base to explore beautiful Yorkshire for two weeks whilst holidaying from Australia. The cottage is quiet, beautifully presented and spacious. We had everything we needed for an extended stay. The quiet village is tucked away with a nice pub and all the attractions of of this part of Yorkshire are just a short drive away. Rick and Sue are wonderful hosts, lovely people and very welcoming. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay in Garden Lodge, the cottage is perfect, even nicer than the photos. We enjoyed dinner prepared by Rick, which I would highly recommend , a great way to celebrate my birthday. Lots of places to visit within a short drive, and the nature reserve on the doorstep was enjoyed by the dog.

We stayed in Garden Lodge.. First class accommodation, very comfortable, peaceful, quiet and extremely well equipped. Spotlessly clean. Nicely fitted out kitchen with modern appliances, including a dishwasher. The lounge area upstairs is very spacious, warm and cosy. There is a comfortable bed and large shower in the bathroom. The host, Rick, is very welcoming and will prepare a meal if required, which the guests finish off themselves. We had a delicious meal on two nights. Pub next door - lots of attractions nearby. Very highly recommended "home from home"

Location
The neighbourhood
Staveley is a quiet village with handsome houses and an ancient, interesting church to visit. The Nature Reserve is steps away, so bring binoculars if that's your thing. Newby Hall & Gardens is a ten-minute drive for lovely riverside walks and herbaceous borders (open March to October). Shop for wonderful food at Yolk in Minskip, visit Boroughbridge, or find Roman remains in Aldborough.
Local points of interest from Sue & Rick Hodgson
- Romantic dinner for two! Chef Rick Hodgson will do all the hard work, all you have to do is open the fridge and turn the oven on! Delicious. All food preferences catered for using seasonal locally sourced ingredients. Let us know at the time of booking.
- From Staveley you will be spoilt for choice for places to eat out- we name 10 fantastic eating pubs on our website not more than 5 miles away from our doorstep. We recommend the Crown at Roecliffe, which you can walk to on summer evenings from our cottages
- Staveley Nature Reserve is right on the doorstep- you will see swans, geese and ducks- and on early summer evenings you may also see deer, owls and otters. Enchanting! There a 3 hides on the reserve which provide excellent views across the lakes.
- No trip is complete for us without our beloved Spaniels - Lucy and George. We are happy to welcome your well behaved dog and will be very pleased to advise you of beautiful dog friendly walks on the doorstep from our cottages,
- Rick is a British Cycle Coach- we warmly welcome cyclists. Plenty of advice for route-planning and safe storage for bikes. Talk to Rick to plan a great trip. This is perfect cycling country- did you see Le Tour de Yorkshire? From simple to challenging....
- Staveley is wonderfully located for a real exploration of beautiful North Yorkshire: Charmin Knaresborough, grand spa town of Harrogate, world heritage site at Fountains Abbey, beautiful gardens at Newby Hall, medieval York just half an hour away.

Introducing
Sue & Rick Hodgson
Rick and Sue ran a B&B in Knaresborough for years before buying and converting the two lodges and their own house. Their garden is a triumph. Rick is a classically trained French chef, but also a keen cyclist so he can give maps and advice about local routes. Sue was HR director of Betty's Tea Rooms. They are both charming and there if you need them but otherwise will leave you to your own devices.
Just spent a perfect weekend at Little Lodge in Staveley. The cottage is extremely comfortable and well-equipped. We have friends and family in the area and had spotted the cottages on an earlier visit. The living space and bedroom were well-furnished and the bathroom was outstanding. The location was peaceful and we visited the village pub for drinks and a meal. We would highly recommend this cottage and will be staying again.
