Welcome to Liquorice Lodge, a bright and beautifully styled two-bedroom home in the heart of Castleford, perfectly placed for work, family visits or a well-earned break in Yorkshire. Inside, the space feels fresh and modern with a relaxed, homely vibe. You’ll find a light-filled living area, a sleek, fully equipped kitchen and two calm, comfortable bedrooms, each with big, squishy beds made for proper rest. The interiors are simple, stylish and thoughtfully finished, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day. The location couldn’t be better. You’re just a short walk from Castleford train station and town centre, with Leeds, Wakefield, and the M62 all within easy reach. Whether you’re working nearby, visiting loved ones or exploring Yorkshire’s hidden corners, Liquorice Lodge makes the ideal base. There’s a nod to our local roots in the name too, a little tribute to Pontefract, just down the road, once home to the famous liquorice fields that inspired the region’s sweet-making heritage (and a certain global confectionery brand we all know and love). Stylish, convenient and unmistakably Yorkshire, Liquorice Lodge offers everything you need for short or longer stays, modern comfort, great connections, and that warm, homely touch we’re known for at Glasswing Stays.

Set in the friendly market town of Castleford, Liquorice Lodge sits right where Yorkshire’s charm meets modern convenience. This is a town with history, heart and proper northern warmth, the kind of place where people still say hello on the street and you’re never far from a good cuppa or a great curry. You’re just a short walk from Castleford town centre, where you’ll find everything from cosy pubs and cafés to supermarkets and local shops. For days out, Xscape Yorkshire is right on your doorstep, home to restaurants, a cinema, indoor skiing, climbing and outlet shopping. The River Aire and Fairburn Ings Nature Reserve are also close by for those who fancy a scenic stroll or a bit of birdwatching. Liquorice Lodge is brilliantly connected too, the train station is just minutes away, offering easy links to Leeds, Wakefield, and beyond. The M62 is nearby, making it ideal for contractors and business travellers working across the North. There’s even a sweet slice of history here, Castleford’s neighbour, Pontefract, was once famous for its liquorice fields, inspiring both the town’s legacy and our name. Friendly, convenient, and full of local flavour, this corner of Yorkshire makes the perfect base, whether you’re here for work, visiting family, or simply enjoying a few days in good company.
