North Star Sanctum

UK England North East England East Riding of Yorkshire

  • 6 Lodges 
  • Chic Boutique Accommodation
These high-end East Yorkshire cabins have a faraway feel and are perfect for stargazing.

A cluster of six meticulously kept East Yorkshire cabins, time passes slowly at North Star Sanctum, a small lodge park that is the brainchild of rat-race refugee Simon North and his doctor wife, Rupal. Long sunrises and even longer sunsets dance over the flat fields around here, reaching out to the red-cliffed coastline, and on clear nights millions of stars are – as the name implies – visible from the comfort of your own private hot tub.

Simon wanted to do something completely different after leaving his corporate job, building these lodges to an exacting set of specifications. Each is themed on destinations Simon and Rupal have visited on their own travel adventures, such as India (‘The Raj’), and Morocco (‘The Kasbah’). With one or two bedrooms, they are all beautifully finished, with fully equipped kitchens and huge floor-to-ceiling windows that open out onto your private patio, and wood burners complete with fire-lighting kits. Gowns and slippers are provided for manoeuvering between house and hot tub, there are toiletries in the bathrooms, and it's nice to know that 4 of the 6  lodges welcome dogs.

Little touches, like fresh eggs from Simon’s hens and a chilled bottle of fizz in the fridge, make this faraway spot even more appealing – although it's not remote as it seems. You can cook up a feast in your lodge using produce you’ve bought locally (Simon knows a great fish and seafood guy); for dinners out, there’s also an extremely good, dog friendly local pub in the Stag’s Head Inn, just around the corner in the village of Lelley, where they serve sublime steak pies, real ales and sublime desserts among many other things on their pub grub menu.

There’s also plenty to see and do nearby –  country houses to explore, such as the amazing Jacobean mansion of Burton Constable Hall and Grounds, where they tolerate dogs pretty much everywhere except the main house; the astonishing Bempton Cliffs RSPB reserve, where half a million seabirds reside between March and September,  including puffins and their delightfully-named offspring, pufflings. You’re also just a fifteen-minute drive from Hull. ten minutes from the sea – and great beaches – at Mappleton and Hornsea; and just over half an hour’s drive minutes’ drive from the delightful market town of Beverley. It’s the perfect spot from which to explore the landscapes so famously painted by David Hockney.

Come for the hot tub, stay for the stars and leave with that fuzzy feeling you get from warm and wonderful hospitality.

Details

Facilities

A car is pretty much essential as there is little in the way of public transport (even taxis are a challenge!) so plan to spend days out and romantic evenings in. Most things are a short drive away or the cycling is good because its very flat and quite a dry part of the country.

Suitable For

Use us for a base to explore the area by foot or bicycle or car. Parties of 2 or 4 with or without pets works well.

Nearby

Peace and tranquillity! During the day the beach never disappoints (even in winter) and during the night the star gazing is amazing.

Food & Drink

Lots! The Stags Head Inn at Lelley, The Nancy at Burton Pidsea, The Spotted Duck in Fitling and (for a special occasion) the Michelin starred Pipe and Glass at South Dalton.

The Owner Says

We are a tiny “boutique” collection of 6 unique lodges. Each interior is themed, Moroccan, Indian, Balinese or African with 1 or 2 bedrooms. Every lodge is highly individual, comes complete with a private hot tub and all except The Ashram are pet friendly.

We are located in a very rural part of East Riding of Yorkshire which is a hidden gem of beaches, rolling countryside and abundant wildlife.
