Occupying a rural location 2 miles north of Pockley, this self-contained apartment makes the perfect getaway for couples looking to enjoy quality time together. Set on a small family farm in the North York Moors National Park, this petite property is a delight for walkers and nature lovers with some fantastic trails from your doorstep. Post-adventures, you’ll love returning here to stargaze on the patio, glass of wine in hand, or snuggle on the bed to watch a film.
Beautifully designed and thoughtfully equipped, this delightful studio is a little gem. Five steps lead into the property to a lovely open-plan area. Prepare a romantic meal for two in the handcrafted kitchen, then toast your adventures at the dining table. There’s a small bistro table and chairs on the south-facing patio that’s perfect for enjoying a morning cuppa or watching the sunset with a glass of wine, drinking in the moorland views. There’s also a small lawned area, shared with the owners. On rainy days, settle into the comfortable armchairs with your favourite novel or pop a film on the smart TV. Then get cosy under the covers for a rejuvenating night’s sleep, before a refreshing morning shower leaves you ready for new adventures.
There are endless walking and cycling opportunities from the farm, plus a wealth of wildlife to discover. The market town of Helmsley (4.5 miles) has a Friday market, along with a selection of shops, cafes, tearooms and restaurants. There’s a castle to explore, plus blooming walled gardens and the National Centre for Birds of Prey. Alternatively, head to Pickering (14 miles) to explore the 13th-century castle or hop on the heritage steam railway, which runs all the way to Whitby during the summer.
