ABOUT SUN HILL
This beautiful lodge is situated within the grounds of Sun Hill Lodges near Leyburn, North Yorkshire. This provides an opportunity for the dedicated team at Sun Hill to enhance your stay. Spindrifter was our very first lodge at Sun Hill, and since then, we’ve grown to offer the entire collection with bookings now open for arrivals from 2026 with us at Sun Hill Lodges. The properties at Sun Hill Farm are located on the grounds of racehorse trainer Ann Duffield and her husband, legendary jockey George Duffield MBE. Stable tours can be arranged on request. The beauty of this woodland lodge is the gallops that run alongside it, which are used actively to train racehorses. The lodge is set away from the stables though so there’s privacy in the grounds of your self-catering hideaway. These log cabins with hot tubs in Yorkshire are thoughtfully spaced out and are set away from the stables. Use our site map to have a look at the positioning of each lodge.
