Located in the North York Moors, this idyllic cottage in the centre of Thornton-le-Dale overlooking the village square is perfect for a couple or a small group of friends who love walking and having shops, delis, pubs and cafes on their doorstep. The cottage has gorgeous original features, a lawned garden at the front and a seating area overlooking pretty Thornton Beck too.

The charming cottage has been beautifully furnished to complement the exposed brickwork and wooden beams. Step into the lovely, light lounge. It’s smart and welcoming with plenty of space on the sofas and window seat to sit and watch the Smart TV. Go through to the kitchen/diner where you’ll find everything you need to prepare meals and a dining table and chairs for enjoying your creations. Upstairs, there are two pretty bedrooms, a dual-aspect double room with wooden beams, and a sweet single room, along with the family bathroom. Heading outside, you can sit and watch the world go by from the front garden or in the seating area next to the beck where you may get to meet the resident ducks and squirrels.

Get out and discover the beautiful, rugged scenery of the North York Moors on local footpaths, with lots of pretty walks starting from the village centre. Explore Thornton-le-Dale, home to boutique shops, cafes, delis, pubs and a bakery with an ice cream parlour. Head to the bustling market town of Pickering (2 miles) to pick up dinner ingredients and visit the castle there. For a great day out, the theme park at Flamingo Land Resort (7 miles) is lots of fun, and the seaside towns of Scarborough (15.5 miles), Gothic Whitby (20 miles) and York (26 miles) are all within easy reach.
