Blackthorn Gate comprises four lodges situated in a working farm on the edge of North York Moors. The lodges are set in a grassed area adjacent to woodland, approximately 200m from the fishing ponds.
The larger lodges, Lapwing and Skylark, have two stories, while the smaller lodges, Curlew and Chaffinch, are one-story buildings. All lodges have the same facilities in them: fully fitted kitchen, en-suite bathroom in the main bedroom, main bathroom with sauna, and living/dining room with flat screen TV, Freeview, DVD and stereo.
The living area looks out onto the edge of the N.York Moors. Immediately adjacent to the lodges is part of the sixteen acres of new woodland planted. The farm has become a haven for wildlife. Badgers, foxes, deer, birds and otters populate the area. This is one of four places in the area that serve as a habitat for oyster catchers and barn owls.
