Hunker down in this romantic couple’s bolthole with your other half plus up to two canine companions for a relaxing break in the Yorkshire countryside where you’ll be surrounded by scenic walking routes in the North York Moors National Park, historical landmarks and quaint market towns while also having the coast within reach. This converted barn boasts vaulted beamed ceilings, elegant country-style decor, a warming wood burner and a garden.

Step inside to find a spacious, bright open-plan studio living space with two large glass patio doors, dark wooden beams and a splash of rich reds and greens throughout. Snuggle up on one of the sofas in front of the SmartTV while the wood burner warms cold paws and toes. Move past the intimate dining table to reach the comfortable king-size bed and a free-standing mirror. Continue into the compact kitchen with quarry tiled floor, a combination microwave, hob, fridge and dishwasher. There is also a bathroom with a ‘P’-shaped bath.

This is the best property that we have stayed at, well presented and every thing you need is thought of down to equipment for the pooches. Feeding bowls, blankets, dog bed, feeding mat and treats! It is by far the best dog friendly cottage we have used and we will definitely be using it again in the future. A lovely welcome pack is supplied by JezRead more and Ginny, wine, bacon,sausage, eggs and cake! Tea,coffee,sugar and a small bottle of milk to get you started and the whole lot is gluten free so ideal if you are a coeliac of gluten intolerant. The cottage is a great place to explore North Yorkshire most destinations being around 15 miles away. I highly recommend this cottage absolutely fantastic Hide

Woodpecker view is such a peaceful place, and well supported by the Woodpeckers flying about and enjoying their daily supply of peanuts! So relaxing and far away from road noise and traffic. Pickering is a particularly lovely place to spend a few days of your holiday.
