The village of Moulton was immaculate and charming although small, unfortunately the local pub was closed due to refurbishment but the next village has a nice pub and meals. Hide

Spacious, stylish, comfortable, peaceful. And many interesting places only a short drive away: Richmond - charming, friendly town with a Georgian Theatre, Castle and excellent History Museum; Easby Abbey and St Agnes Church; Thirsk with the James Heriot Museum; and much more a little further afield.

The super king size bed wRead moreas a dream to sleep in. The mansion is located in a quiet, well-kept cul-de-sac, with real historic village feel to it. Hide
