Thornton Dale is a picture-perfect village nestled in a southern pocket of the North York Moors, east of the vibrant town of Pickering. Within the bustling village square are lots of boutique shops and plenty of dining options including cafes, delis, and a bakery with an ice cream parlour. Stock up on the essentials at the local convenience store or farm shops just outside the village. Explore the bustling market town of Pickering (2 miles) for the fascinating Pickering Castle and the thrilling Flamingo Land Resort (7.2 miles). Be sure to roam the unique landscape of the North York Moors National Park (5.7 miles) or venture further afield to the seaside resort of Scarborough (15 miles), where you can make a splash at the waterpark, and enjoy fresh fish and chips on the seafront.

This charming, period cottage sits beside Thornton Beck in the centre of the village, overlooking the picturesque village square. Set over two floors and equipped to a great standard, this cottage is an excellent base for families and friends seeking to explore this Yorkshire region. After a day of walking, spend your downtime in the lounge, relaxing on the sofa and watching a film on the Smart TV. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials to rustle up a feast; dine around the table in the kitchen or take your meal outside where a bistro table is perfectly placed beside the beck. When night calls, venture upstairs for a good night's rest. There is a double bedroom and a single room, each presented with light tones and ample storage space, along with the family bathroom.

While away the evening hours sitting beside the beck or move to the front of the cottage to watch the world go by.

A charming character property in a delightful village. Extremely well decorated warm and comfortable. A lovely property, with a side door leading to the river and the delightful ducks. Arriving to extra goodies like chocolate, biscuits and crisps ( as well as the usual tea and coffee) makes you feel welcome.

Beautiful place to stay. Very clean and well presented. Amazing location. Communication with the owners was very clear and provided great detail for the place and use of the cottage items. Very friendly. Welcome pack was a lovely touch and helped with the feeling of luxury and relaxation whilst away. Cannot fault it and I'm sure we will be back.

A fantastic week spent in this lovely cosy cottage situated in a very picturesque village, which had all the amenities we needed. We loved sitting by the Beck watching the wildlife including feeding the ducks, dippers, pigeons and a squirrel. Shame we didn't get to see the kingfisher! The cottage is well equipped and very clean. Although parking isRead more not directly at the cottage, the permit provided for the village car park worked very well.

The cottage was immaculate throughout, situated right in the centre of the village. The car had to be parked in a carpark away from the cottage, but literally a 2 minute walk - free car park permit was provided. Everything, shops, pub, ice cream parlour were literally across the road! Stream alongside with ducks - very entertaining.
