Luxuriate in the many special touches you will find at this gorgeous cottage near Gilling West in North Yorkshire. The exquisite, three-bedroom retreat nestles in picturesque surroundings, 3.5 miles from Richmond, and has been transformed into a holiday haven where features include a wood-fired hot tub, open fire and four-poster bed. Sleeping six guests, the cottage benefits from a sun-soaked, private, courtyard garden and shared wider grounds with a play area.

Wander inside the enticing stone haven to find beautiful, exposed stonework and beams complemented by sumptuous furniture and furnishings. Head into the lounge, where sunlight streams in through the large windows, to light the open fire and sink back into the comfortable seating. Watch TV, read your books or play a game together as the fire crackles gently in the background. Wander through to the exquisite kitchen/diner to prepare homecooked meals with the delicious Yorkshire produce you have sourced in Richmond, then dine together at the table here or out in the courtyard. One of your gorgeous bedrooms, a king-size with an en-suite shower room, is also set downstairs. Another king-size, with an attractive four-poster bed can be found up on the first floor, together with a bedroom that can be arranged as either a super-king-size or a twin by prior discussion. There is also an wonderful family wet room at this level. Spend sunny afternoons out in the courtyard garden, grilling lunch or dinner out on the BBQ and relaxing in the hot tub. Explore the verdant estate and take in the rural views.

Pack a picnic and venture 4 miles to enjoy magnificent walks through the scenic Yorkshire Dales. Discover historic Richmond, with its many independent shops and eateries. Visit the impressive Norman castle and walk 1 mile along the River Swale to Easby Abbey, where you can explore the ruins.

Well this cottage was fabulous. So warm and cosy with loads of room inside. Kitchen might be a bit tight to seat 6 but there were only two of us so it wasnt an issue .. certainly all the three bedrooms were really big with a lot of cupboard space. The two bathrooms were very warm and cosy and the showers really hot and powerful. Surrounded by lovelRead morey countryside and very friendly people we had a wonderful few days there. Definitely recommend for a lovely short break. Hide
