Escape to the North York Moors with friends or family and stay at this traditional cottage that promises the ideal blend of countryside life and contemporary comfort. Nestled in the picturesque village of Danby, the cottage is an excellent base for exploring the stunning Esk Valley and surrounding moorland. Start your day by picking up fresh local produce from the village's bakery, health food shop, or cafe, all within 0.5 miles. Hit the trails, walking or cycling, with routes for all abilities starting right from the cottage. For a change of scenery, hop on the local train to Whitby or take a drive to the seaside villages of Staithes, Runswick Bay, and Sandsend (all within 12 miles), each offering its own unique coastal charm. After a day of adventures, relax with a refreshing drink at the friendly village pub.
Climb the steps to this double-fronted cottage and enter a warm and welcoming retreat. The hallway leads you to the heart of the home, with a well-equipped kitchen and dining area on one side and a cosy lounge on the other. Both spaces are filled with rustic character, featuring exposed wooden beams and stunning moorland views across the valley. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, with modern appliances, a dining table, and a charming window seat – a wonderful spot for wildlife watching or admiring the ever-changing seasonal landscape. At the rear of the cottage, you'll find a handy utility room and a newly installed shower room for freshening up after a muddy countryside walk. In the lounge, unwind on the comfortable sofas by the wood burner, creating a snug ambience on cooler evenings. Even four-legged friends are catered for, with a dog nook tucked beneath the stairs. Head upstairs via the staircase with elegant glass bannisters to find three beautiful bedrooms. The twin room is great for children or friends, while the king-size bedroom offers breath taking valley views. A hidden staircase leads to a double room, adding a touch of magic to your stay. Two stylish bathrooms – a family bathroom with a clawfoot bath and a separate shower room – provide convenience for your entire group.
Outside, the garden is a lovely spot for enjoying your morning coffee or an evening drink while taking in the fresh countryside air. There's a patio with outdoor furniture and a lush green lawn. Private parking is provided for one car.
