The former village church of St Michael has been beautifully converted by the local community into a welcoming lodge, offering private en-suite bedrooms and shared communal areas, including a well-equipped self-catering kitchen.

Retaining many original features, the lodge has been developed to cater specifically to walkers, cyclists, and tranquil visitors interested in exploring the stunning landscape of Swaledale.

There are 16 beds across six private en-suite rooms, each sleeping between 2 and 4 people. Guests can relax in the communal lounge or enjoy the outdoor seating area. Facilities include ample parking, drying room, secure bike storage, and EV charging points.

Located in the village of Hudswell—just outside the historic market town of Richmond—the lodge offers a unique opportunity to stay in a historic building with modern comforts. Hudswell itself is home to a community-owned shop and pub, making it a well-serviced yet tranquil base.

Close to the iconic Coast to Coast walking and mountain biking routes, the lodge is set to become a classic stop for adventurers and nature lovers alike.

Come and experience the charm and beauty of Swaledale from this truly special place to stay in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
