Treat your small family or group of friends to a stay at this characterful cottage in Pickering and enjoy both the vibrant market town and the beautiful North York Moors National Park. Sleeping four guests, this gorgeous, two-bedroom, stone bolthole has a delightful, courtyard garden with views over towards Pickering Castle. It is also close to the famous heritage steam railway with its trains from Pickering to Whitby on the coast.
Take two steps up to reach the front door of this stylish hideaway then enter to remove your outerwear in the hall. Head on through to the beamed lounge to light the wood burner in the stone fireplace and take stock of the day as you relax together over a cup of tea or glass of wine on the soft seating. Wander through to the kitchen/diner to whip up a homecooked meal for your party on those evenings you choose not to book a table at a local eatery. There is also a handy WC downstairs. When you are ready to turn in for the night, climb the stairs up to the first floor of the cottage to lay your head in either one of the sumptuous double bedrooms. Each of these has the luxury of an en-suite shower room. Spill out into the Yorkshire sunshine on warm days. Have morning coffee and breakfast out here before setting off on your adventures.
Stroll around the town, pottering in the shops, stocking up on local produce and visiting the castle. Venture less than 1 mile to reach the fringes of the scenic national park, with its opportunities for walking, cycling and wildlife watching. Plan a day trip to Whitby, 21.5 miles away, to climb the historic 199 steps, see the famous abbey and spend a day together on the beach.
