## About The Property

Discover the charm and tranquility of St Michael's Lodge, a beautifully restored village church in the heart of Hudswell, Swaledale. Once the historic St Michael's Church, this unique building has been lovingly transformed by the local community into a welcoming retreat for walkers, cyclists, and anyone seeking peace among the stunning Yorkshire Dales.

Step inside and you’ll find the perfect blend of heritage and comfort.

There are 6 private en suite rooms sleeping between two and four guests, offering restful beds and crisp linens, and stylish bathrooms come with free toiletries.

The self catering kitchen is fully equipped for hearty post-hike meals, while the drying room and secure bike storage make it a dream base for outdoor adventurers.

Outside, you’ll find a peaceful garden with picnic spots, a barbecue area, and even an outdoor fireplace for cozy evenings under the stars. Practical touches including EV charging points and ample car parking ensure your stay is as convenient as it is comfortable.

Hudswell itself is a gem: a friendly village boasting a community owned shop and pub, and just a few minutes’ drive from the historic market town of Richmond, with its castle, cobbled streets and riverside walks.
