Surrounded by established gardens with glorious flora, this 17th-century cottage on the edge of the North York Moors offers a darling holiday destination for four guests. Filled with romantic, textured soft furnishings, country-style decor and original beams and brickwork, the farmhouse character of this quirky cottage cannot be mistaken. Perfect for small families or couples, this cottage is comfortable as well as characterful, complete with ample creature comforts that’ll make any stay an enjoyable one. Activities including hiking, biking, fishing, clay pigeon shooting and tours of local towns are all on offer nearby, with the North York Moors on your doorstep and the Yorkshire Dales a short drive away (22 miles).
Pretty as an English rose, this heritage cottage has instant curb appeal with a lawned garden out front. At the back, a splendid garden with a table and chairs, pretty grass and a summerhouse invites restful afternoons spent lounging in the sun. Head inside when the temperature drops, taking refuge in the warmth of the crackling wood burner in the lounge. This lounge space is cosy and ambient with cushy seating, a Smart TV and an array of board games to keep you entertained. Move past the well-equipped kitchen, dining room and convenient utility room to reach narrow stairs up to the first floor. Two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, are accompanied by a well-appointed family bathroom and exceptional village views.
Try your hand at some countryside ventures with the local shooting ground and a cricket ground both half a mile away. From the nearby village of Osmotherley (1 mile), you can embark on The Lyke Wake Walk, an incredible 40-mile waymarked route that flows through the North York Moors to the seaside village of Ravenscar and the Hambleton Hobble, a 31-mile circular passing through Hawnby (10 miles), Scawton (14.5 miles) and Silton (3.5 miles).
