Bursting with timeless charm, this sophisticated yet homely bolthole nestled in a peaceful, private estate in Markington is the ultimate romantic getaway for couples. It lies amidst the idyllic surroundings of North Yorkshire's breathtaking countryside.
Boasting incredible views of rolling pastureland, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is brimming with charm and character. The inviting warmth of the roaring wood burner sets the scene for ultimate relaxation whilst the rustic decor, reminiscent of a country cottage, and sumptuous soft furnishings invite tired travellers to unwind and dine at the end of a busy day. Welcoming you with crisp linens and a soothing natural colour palette, the super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom upstairs (which can be made up as a twin) is an oasis of calm, ensuring a peaceful rest. Kickstart your next adventure with a refreshing shower in the family bathroom that features a stylish roll-top bath. Make the most of your stunning scenery by dining alfresco with a glass of something chilled on the quaint gravelled terrace with some gorgeous sunrises or sublime melting sunsets as your backdrop.
Lying between Harrogate (7 miles) and Ripon (6.5 miles), the picturesque village of Markington is ideally situated for exploring Yorkshire's splendid countryside, with scenic walks through the Yorkshire Dales to the west and the North York Moors to the east.
