One of a group of properties, this quirky first-floor apartment in the quiet village of Newton-on-Rawcliffe makes the ideal base for exploring North Yorkshire. With a double bedroom and a twin, it’s perfect for families plus their furry family member, and there’s heaps to do nearby, with stunning walks on your doorstep, and a shared indoor sauna, hot tub and pool, and table tennis table to enjoy.

The welcoming converted barn has wooden beams, relaxed styling, and comfortable furniture throughout. Go up the steps to the light and bright open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner where you’ll find a Smart TV and sofas, a stylish dining table and chairs for sociable mealtimes, and a cosy kitchen with everything you need to self-cater, including a dishwasher. There are laundry facilities in the shared laundry room too. Get a great night’s sleep in the two pretty bedrooms (a double bedroom, and a twin room, both with storage for your holiday outfits), and there’s also a family bathroom with shower over corner bath. Heading outside, there’s a large, shared garden where you can relax on the bench next to the pretty pond and bridge. Go swimming in the indoor pool, then relax in the sauna and hot tub, or challenge each other to a game of table tennis.

Head out for walks through the neighbouring countryside and explore miles and miles of footpaths in the North York Moors, which is right on your doorstep. Combine a good walk with a trip on the North York Moors Railway, with stations at Pickering (5 miles) and Levisham (3 miles). For a thrilling day out, have a go on the zip wires at Dalby Forest (17 miles) and spend the day at the seaside with Whitby (18.5 miles), Scarborough (22.5 miles) and Robin Hood’s Bay (23 miles) all nearby.

Lovely quiet location and the cottage was really clean. Very close to Pickering which is a lovely little town.

The property was not very well cared for, cobwebs in the window recess and over the curtains, dirty marks over the walls of all the rooms, and water marks running down the wall in the main bedroom. The main bedroom was tiny, and the beds very noisy and uncomfortable. Led to 3 restless nights. Broken plant pots in the bathroom. Leisure facilities weRead morere not great, pool was murky and cloudy, not inviting. This was for a 50th birthday and overall was very disappointing. Would not recommend. Hide

Unfortunately we cut our stay short due to the cottage itself! the area around the cottage (Granary) is picturesque but the downside is the cottage, very in need of a good clean and some maintenance. The apartment itself is very compact, marks and scuffs on walls, skirting boards not fully attached to the walls and glass table tops that came off thRead moree stands. Bedrooms are small, metal beds that need a good oiling. The swimming pool area again in need of some attention, outside also uninviting. Hide

Loved the Granary, perfect with our granddaughter. Light and bright with nice views out, being upstairs. Pretty water gardens and a lovely village location. Much to do round about with kids.

A very pleasant start to self catering having always used hotels before. Very clean. Bottle of wine was a nice touch. I would have liked the spa/pool to be open longer as it was only available when we were out and about. Would recommend.
