Plan a restorative break at this spacious home on the edge of Goathland, a charming moorland celebrated for its role in the TV series Heartbeat. Perfect for families and groups of friends with two dogs in tow, guests here are within half a mile from charming tea rooms and independent shops, and have a good choice of Yorkshire country pubs both in Goathland and the surrounding villages. If you’re a keen walker or cyclist, you’ll be spoilt for choice thanks to mile upon mile of scenic trails through the Yorkshire Dales.
This four-bedroom home features an elegant interior with cohesive colour schemes and stylish features like wood panelling, leaded windows and a quirky tile feature in the kitchen. Panoramic views grace almost every room, ensuring you leave feeling soothed from the daily beauty. After long days out in the hills, sink into one of the lounge sofas and spark up the wood burner for a cosy evening in. The farmhouse-style kitchen, equipped with an AGA to inspire your inner chef, features wooden ceiling beams, while the adjoining dining area sets you up for sociable family meals. You’ll also have a games room with a pool table and ping pong table the youngsters will love. Good weather invites you all out to the beautiful, south-facing garden with a lawn area, a terrace and a BBQ house for easy outdoor dining.
You’ll find plenty to do nearby – the local train station (0.5 miles) was used as a location in the Harry Potter films, and you can board a train there, not to Hogwarts but through stunning scenery. Nature spots like Mallyan Spout Waterfall (1 mile) and historical sites including Skelton Tower (13.5 miles) are wonderful for visiting with dogs. For days out by the sea, the gothic coastal town of Whitby (9.5 miles) is a fantastic bet.
