Giving off summertime vibes one might assume? But in fact it's midwinter, in the heart of the North Yorkshire countryside, and we're about to see in the new year during a three-night getaway in a gorgeous luxury lodge.

The green and pretty surroundings of Allerthorpe Golf &Country Park was the venue for our 'home from home' stay, which provided my wife, pet greyhound Jojo and I with the perfect retreat for our annual post-Christmas re-charge.

Arriving deep into the evening and late for check-in, arranging for our lodge key to be collected from the park's restaurant was no problem, and after a short drive through the entrance barrier and down to 'Sandy Lane', we finally made it to our welcoming abode.
