About Stags Mount

Thornton-Le-Dale 2.4 miles. Tucked away in the rural village of Allerston near Thornton Dale, North Yorkshire, is this stunning detached lodge, Stags Mount.

Enjoying a superb location on the outskirts of the North York Moors National Park, and offering easy access to the coast, Stags Mount is a fantastic dog-friendly choice for couples or a family of four. Upon arrival, you will find two off-road parking spaces, and a lovely front decked area with furniture, electric barbecue, and an indulgent hot tub, perfect for evenings dining alfresco followed by a relaxing dip whilst taking in the stunning countryside views.

Be welcomed into the open-plan living space, which features underfloor heating, where you can cook up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen, ready to savour the fruits of your labour at the dining table for four over a celebratory bottle of fizz. After dinner, retire to the sumptuous sofas and relax in front of the crackling woodburning stove, as your favourite show plays out on the Smart TV.

Completing the ground floor is a beautifully decorated super-king-size with zip/link, and a well-appointed bathroom with gorgeous freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Head upstairs where you will find a tastefully decorated king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room and separate cloakroom.

Thornton-Le-Dale is only a short drive away and offers a good selection of amenities, such as a well-stocked convenience store, the lovely Lavenders Tea Rooms, where you can grab a sweet treat, or The New Inn for hearty pub fare. Pickering, not far away, features a magnificent castle from the 13th century and the remarkable North Yorkshire Moors Railway, on which visitors can ride a vintage steam train through the North Yorkshire Moors for 18 miles while taking in the breath-taking scenery.

You can climb Ingleby Incline and The Wainstones, explore the ruins at Cawthorn Roman Camp and Mount Grace Priory, and fly through the trees at Go Ape in Dalby Forest, all within the confines of the National Park. Drive along the coast to Scarborough and spend the day at the beach, canoeing or kayaking, visiting the historic Scarborough Castle, or experiencing the thrills of Luna Park or Alpamare.

Stags Mount Reviews

Jeanette
This is our third visit to these lodges. They are well equipped it's like being home from home. The hot tub is brilliant and well maintained. The welcoming pack, robes and slippers are a great touch that makes you feel special when you arrive. Nicole and Scott are attentive to anything you need and happy to help. We always come away with a heavy heart that we have to return home.
We booked Stags Mount specifically for the large enclosed grass area for 2 dogs accessed directly from the decking, as shown in the photos. This had been changed and the path removed, so we didn't have anywhere to allow the dogs to roam! The lodge was lovely, well maintained, but much smaller than the photos suggested I should have realised the use of a wide angled lens!
We wanted to find something special and memorable for our short break and that's exactly what we found with Stags Mount. The location is lovely, just a short distance from the beautiful Thornton Le Dale and Dalby Forest, the coast is also easily accessible. The accommodation is perfect, all comforts and amenities are so well considered, not just for us but for our puppy too who also felt right at home while enjoying his first holiday. The hosts are so friendly and thoughtful, they have a genuine desire to make their guest comfortable. We all look forward to making another booking here in the future.
Amazing week , thank you ! ! Everthing we wanted & needed
This will be our holiday home from now on. The peace and the lovely lodge mafe us thinj to return.Thank you very much
Amazing properties, the best weve stayed in! We stayed in Foxes Den last February so couldnt wait to return. We have also booked Eagles Peak for Christmas. Scott and Nicole have done a fantastic job with these properties, such high spec and comfort, everything has been thought of and catered for. They have horses on site so are always around checking if everything is ok. We loved feeding the chickens and their eggs are the best website tasted. There is a pub at the bottom of the driveway and ThortonLeDale and Pickering are a short drive or bus away. Whitby and Scarborough are a also good day trips. Highly recommended and cant wait to return!
This is a fantastic holiday cottage, you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. Every detail has been catered for. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Clearly, a great deal of thought has gone into making a holiday at Stags Mount memorable. The hot tub was well maintained throughout our stay. This holiday home is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the local pub is just a short walk away. We had a great holiday and when we are next visiting Yorkshire we will be staying at Stags Mount again.
Stags Mount is an incredible property, finished to a high standard. The owners were thoughtful in their design and we enjoyed all the comforts of this, including the treats they left to welcome us. Also great in terms of location

Would definitely consider coming back again! Met every expectation of a lovely stay
From start to finish we got the wow factor. Pulling into the property we thought it was stunning then all the wee touches inside were truly heartwarming. Nicole and Scott have truly thought of everything and clearly put the work in. My pooch Petal gave this a 5 paw out of 5 rating with all the dog friendly touches including a wee bed, dog treats and a note of dog friendly places nearby. Anybody thinking of booking absolutely go for it and try the fresh eggs from the hideout hens who come and greet you at the fence when you go walking by. All in all our week at this beautiful property gave us the tranquility we needed, I'm already trying to plan our return again.
Samantha
Absolutely amazing place, we were so looked after and could not fault the place at all. Little gifts on arrival and the owners were so friendly. It was a dream get away and we could not thank them enough. A truly wonderful hideout.
Rebecca
Perfect 2 night get away. The lodge was done to a very high standard. Cant fault it at all. The owners should be very proud of what they have achieved.
Jonathan
Amazing place with everything you could possibly need, really relaxing and would definitely rebook.
Jeanette
Stags Mount is a beautiful Lodge. Nicole and Scott have equipped the lodge in such a way that it feels like home. The extras make it extra special, even the dog and a 7 month old were catered for. We had a great week and we enjoyed exploring the area. Definitely will be back for a third visit.
A fabulous place to stay high quality and would definitely recommend
Great stay. Beautiful lodge. Would suggest adding protection under the stairs as I banged my head retrieving a box next to microwave.
Could not have spent our mini moon in a better location, the lodges are amazing and built to such a high standard whilst keeping that home like feeling, we will most definitely be staying again.
Great stay. Beautiful lodge. Would suggest adding protection under the stairs as I banged my head retrieving a box next to microwave.
Stags Mount was beautiful we had a lovely long weekend here in April 2023. The place itself is amazing, wonderful surroundings and the owners have thought of everything so many nice extra touches. Great location to get to nearby towns and the coast. Couldnt fault it, would definitely recommend! Thank you!
A truly beautiful cottage, the best we have ever stayed in
Fabulous place exceptionally clean & tidy 10 out of 10. The only thing we could find that was missing was maybe a log basket to keep the place looking nice.
Kirsty
By far the best cabin we have stayed at. Absolutely everything you need they have literally thought of everything! And added some lovely little touches to make the stay more special. Very dog friendly. We felt so relaxed after our weekend stay. We will be booking again for sure.
Stayed here with my wife, son 4, son 5 months and one dog. This place is amazing! Provides all the comfort of a big hitting holiday park or hotel but is remote and small enough so your stay is very personable and private. The welcome pack and rules of the house make you feel that youre staying with family providing you with a make yourself at home vibe. The attention to detail is subtle but when you see it you can only but appreciate the work that has gone into these family built lodges. Fresh free range eggs everyday from the hens and Thornton le dale village a 5min drive away for any other bits you may need. Pickering is another 510min beyond that. Plenty of local farm shops as well if you truly want to buy and support local industry. Unless youre aiming for a complete break from the outside world which these could truly give you then there is also plenty of things to do with you not requiring to drive for anymore than 4060 min. The one and only point I do have but it truly makes no odds to me but might for future guests is, there was no electric BBQ but was on the listing as a feature. Unless there was one but I failed to see it then my bad. I will 100 be staying here again.

Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 6 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 7 Miles
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS

Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.

Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 10 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.

This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too.
