Property code: OC-R30028

Immerse yourself in the stunning scenery of 6 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds deep in the Dalby Forest at this cosy bolthole for two; the ultimate romantic retreat for those keen to escape to the peace and calm of the countryside. An enchanting spa retreat set within The Dark Sky Reserve of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.

Beneath the traditional stone exterior, you’ll find a haven of contemporary charm and homely touches in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Wonderfully large picture windows flood the space with natural sunlight whilst the neutral hues perfectly mirror the colours of your surroundings, immersing you in the true beauty of North Yorkshire. Featuring wonderful views, the king-size bedroom provides an oasis of calm to retire to, with the en-suite shower room offering everything you need to feel refreshed from sunrise to sunset. Outside, soak up your fresh, countryside air exploring the 6 acres of surrounding shared grounds, unwind in the wood-fired hot tub or sauna, have a dip in the wild swimming pond, discover the chapel, picnic beside the lake or explore the landscaped Trinity Garden to enjoy a summer house equipped with a BBQ, wood burner and various elevated decking areas which boast far-reaching views. Additionally, you’ll also find ample private parking outside, with an overflow area available if needed.

Get reacquainted with the great outdoors from this picturesque, peaceful spot in the heart of the Dalby Forest with high-speed mountain biking trails and gentle footpaths winding through wonderful countryside on your doorstep. Dive into the heritage of the local area at the nearby market town of Pickering (7 miles), home to ancient castle ruins and plenty of independent shops or answer the call of the Yorkshire coast 20 miles away at Scarborough Beach by rock pooling, building sandcastles or swimming its crystal waters. Further along the coast, discover the charm of Robin Hood’s Bay (25 miles) and the gothic atmosphere of Whitby (22 miles).

The cottage was hugely complimented by the glorious grounds and gardens of the main house. The freedom to walk round the gardens at leisure was a joy. They have been expertly landscaped and on each walk I found something more that I had missed previously. Dalby Forest is also a bonus.
