A Grade II-listed barn conversion on a working farm within 9.5 miles of Hemsley, one of the many bustling market towns in the North York Moors National Park. Ideal for families, couples, walkers, cyclists, history and nature lovers, this dog-friendly cottage features a lounge/kitchen/diner, a gravel courtyard garden and easy access to Stokesly, Rievaulx Abbey and the Cleveland Way.

The one-storey stone barn is one of three on the farm’s accommodation complex and is surrounded by attractive farmland bordered by distant mountains between Grange and Fangdale Beck. Its interior is a blend of the traditional and modern, with oak-beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls beautifully complementing colourful and characterful soft furnishings laid out across flagstone flooring. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has underfloor heating and is a fantastic social space, with a wood burner and comfortable furniture at one end leading into a dining area and onto granite work surfaces. The en-suite king-size bedroom and the double bedroom feature striking stone walls, while a separate shower room stands nearby. The charming gravel courtyard garden offers seating for all against a scenic backdrop.

The barn is equidistant between Stokesley and Helmsley (both within 10 miles), two of the many bustling market towns beloved by visitors to the national park. Helmsley is home to dog-friendly shops and traditional pubs, a walled garden and a delightful castle. Walkers are well served in this area, with numerous routes including the Cleveland Way within 5 miles. Rievaulx Abbey (8 miles) is close to the route and offers a further glimpse into the county’s past.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful, quiet location. Cottage was well equiped and very cosy rooms made a home from home feel. Veronica is a great hostess and we felt a very friendly atmosphere straight away. Lots of beautiful places to visit in the area. The only thing was that nearest food shop is in Helmsley, about 15-20 min drive, so we made sure wRead moree plan our daily food shopping. Overall, we had a fantastic time and surely we'll be back.

We had a lovely stay. The cottage is spacious, warm, has plenty of hot water and is really well equipped. Veronica was very welcoming. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Easy to find and suited us well.

We booked The Witches Cottage late on the Tuesday evening and we arrived the Wednesday afternoon. We met Veronica on arrival who welcomed us to the cottage, and she let us know she was jyst next door if we needed anything at all. We wanted somewhere to relax and enjoy. That's exactly what the Cottage gave us, what a fabulous place to stay. With itsRead more luxurious decor and comfort, it was the perfect location and close to Helmsley. Everything about the cottage was perfect for our 4 day break. Hide
