Have the loveliest of breaks in this cosy couple’s bolthole in the heart of the North Yorkshire town of Pickering which borders the woodland and river-filled North York Moors National Park. After exploring the scenic walking trails through nature, historical landmarks and coastline, dine alfresco in the sheltered garden which is surrounded by shrubs and flowers or snuggle up on the sofa in front of the crackling wood burner with a bottle of bubbly.
This cosy and pretty ground-floor apartment is the perfect place for two with fabulous attention to detail and a lovely finish. The homely lounge is a gorgeous space in which to relax with its gas stove in an inglenook fireplace, two plump sofas, large Smart TV and wooden furnishings. Cook a romantic meal for two in the stylish kitchen/diner with patterned tiles, hues of pink, and farmhouse-style wooden surface tops on the ‘L’-shaped kitchen. The contemporary dining table with chairs sits beside the window. There is also a beautiful double bedroom with a bay window, brass bedstead and plenty of storage space as well as a pretty shower room with walk-in shower. Outside is a courtyard with furniture.
During your stay in the market town of Pickering, why not start your day with a stroll around the river which runs through its centre and explore the 13th-century Pickering Castle (0.5 miles)? Within 1 mile you’ll also have an art gallery, a handful of shops, traditional pubs and cafes. Adventurous couples will love the North Riding Forest Park (8 miles) – which is full of cycling and hiking trails. If you’re a history enthusiast, visit the Cawthorn Roman Camp (5 miles) or the Simon Howe Stone Circle (15 miles). Or enjoy a day by the sea at Scarborough (18 miles).
