Nestled between the Howardian Hills and Yorkshire Wolds, this lakeside retreat offers an idyllic, adults-only escape.
Hidden away in a pocket of private woodland, the only sounds you'll hear are birdsong and the occasional agricultural vehicle in the distance.
Whether you're seeking relaxation in a traditional Swedish sauna, a dip in a deep copper bathtub, or a cosy evening by the fire pit, Kingfisher Cabin @ Kingfisher and Yew is your perfect retreat.
When you’re ready to rejoin the world, it’s just a 10-minute walk to a charming country pub and a 7-minute drive to Malton, a foodie-famous market town offering fine dining, local delicacies, and a vibrant atmosphere.
HANDCRAFTED LUXURY, INSIDE AND OUT
Kingfisher Cabin is a hand-built, cosy wood cabin, lovingly crafted by local artisans. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the underfloor heating to the custom furnishings, providing a sense of rustic charm mixed with modern luxury.
MAIN LIVING AREA
Step inside and be greeted by a tranquil space bathed in soft natural light. A full-width glass window connects you with the stunning view of the lake, bringing nature indoors. The rustic wood-paneled walls, paired with plush furnishings, create a serene atmosphere ideal for unwinding.
Kitchen: The kitchen runs along the back wall and is fully equipped with an oven, microwave, hob, smoothie blender, and a full-size fridge-freezer. With complimentary Nespresso coffee pods and jars of oats, rice, and pasta, you'll have everything you need for a cosy stay.
Entertainment: Relax on the velvet sofa and take in the view of the lake or, for a cozy night in, lower the discreet 2-meter-wide projector screen. Stream your favorite shows or movies using the SMART TV setup, which supports Netflix, Disney+, and more.
Dining: Enjoy lakeside views while you dine. Slide open the glass doors to bring fresh country air in, even on rainy days.
BEDROOM
Your king-size bed, dressed in silky-soft 1,000-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, offers a perfect vantage point for the tranquil lakeside view. The entire space around the cabin is yours to enjoy in complete privacy, but if you seek a more intimate atmosphere, built-in shutters allow you to darken the room and create your own private hideaway.
OUTDOOR BATHING EXPERIENCE
Just outside the bedroom, step into your hand-hammered, deep-insulated copper bathtub. This luxurious tub takes the hot tub experience to another level, with plenty of space for two and an insulated design that retains heat for hours. Whether you choose to soak alone or share the moment with someone special, the setting promises ultimate relaxation.
PRIVATE WELLNESS RETREAT
SWEDISH SAUNA & COLD DUNK: Further along the deck, you’ll find a traditional wood sauna, complete with glass doors that frame the beautiful lakeside view. Lie back on the benches, close your eyes, and listen to the gentle sounds of nature. Just outside the sauna is a cold dunk bucket – for those who are feeling brave!
OUTDOOR LIVING & SECLUDED NATURE WALKS
The large private deck that wraps around the cabin offers ample space for sunbathing, outdoor dining, or simply soaking up the peace and quiet. Sunloungers and outdoor seating invite you to relax with a drink as the sun sets over the lake.
In the warmer months (May to early October), the outdoor dining table is perfect for al fresco meals, and a portable BBQ is available with all the charcoal provided. You are welcome to invite a couple of friends for outdoor dining in the summer.
Private paths meander around the lake, leading to a secluded wooden swing and offering plenty of opportunities for peaceful reflection or a leisurely stroll in nature. These paths are yours alone during your stay, ensuring total privacy.
EXPLORE YORKSHIRE’S FINEST
Located on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds and just 30 minutes from York, the cabin offers the perfect balance between rural seclusion and access to cultural attractions. Spend your days exploring the foodie haven of Malton, home to locally-owned restaurants, quaint cafes, and vibrant markets. For those who love adventure, the beaches of Yorkshire and the dramatic North York Moors are just a short drive away.
