This three-storey home is wonderful for a family holiday or romantic break. Take long, satisfying walks through sprawling countryside and tuck into lunches in traditional village pubs. It’s in the wonderfully quiet village of Egdon, with a little shop 1.5 miles away in Grosmont and the famous coastal town of Whitby just a 7-mile drive away. With two dogs welcome, you’re invited to bring the family pets, who will love exploring the moorland that the house overlooks.
Exquisitely decorated with dark wooden furniture, cosy soft furnishings, tasteful artwork and soothing colour schemes, this is a true home away from home. The beautiful stonework continues inside, along with original woodwork peppered throughout. In the comfy lounge, stay warm by the wood burner on chilly evenings, perhaps soothing those weary legs with a soak in the rolltop bath upstairs. The kitchen, with its apron sink, central island and large wooden table, is wonderful for creating culinary masterpieces and sharing meals together. When eyelids start to droop, choose from a charming double bedroom and twin room. Outside, the spacious garden creates a fantastic spot for pets and children to play, with its patio, lawn and garden furniture ideal for al fresco dining.
In Egton village you’ll find two friendly pubs within 150 metres – great for enjoying an evening pint and perhaps some food when you don’t fancy cooking. If you’re keen for a day by the sea, head to Whitby to explore its harbour, ruined abbey and gorgeous sandy beaches. Robin Hood's Bay (11.5 miles), a picturesque fishing village a little further down the coast, is also well worth the trip. Looking for a treat for the kids? Go Ape (18.5 miles) offers an exhilarating experience with hilltop zip wires leading through tree-top canopies, all within the pretty setting of North Riding Forest Park.
