Nice to haves

This pretty retreat is in the historic market town of Helmsley, sits on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. The 110 mile-long Cleveland Way National Trail begins in Helmsley and takes you through the heather-clad hills of the Moors to the cliffs and coast of Filey Brigg – a nine-day trek in total, but you can stop your car at any point along its length. Making this cosy cottage the perfect base for a walking or cycling holiday. Warm interiors offer a serene space to relax after a hike on the Moors and an inviting space for socialising over a board game by the woodstove. Pour a glass of wine and put your feet up in the living room, before getting some "me time" with a pamper session in the luxurious bathrooms – two of which have their own TVs. With your favourite soundtrack playing through the Sonos Soundsystem in the background rustle up some comfort food in the kitchen for an evening in. On warmer days, dine alfresco out on the patio amidst the fresh country air. The local area of Hemsley offers a lot to feast on too– from eateries to homely pubs to tea rooms and a quintessential Yorkshire market square. Not to mention a fabulous array of boutique shops to wander around on rainy afternoons. 


On Heathered Moor

Packed with antiques collected over the years and grand yet striking rooms, this home in Hemsley is a real find. A red-brick facade and topiaried hedges set the tone as you arrive, and inside you’ll find a collection of hand-carved bureaus and cast iron bathtubs. The living room is a vision of deep red with swathes of velvet curtains and an original fireplace keeping things warm in winter. A smaller, cosy family snug is set around a wood-burning stove so the group can easily spread out. In contrast to the rest of the house, the dine-in kitchen is decidedly modern with concrete-grey walls, plush leather dining chairs and a wall of glass looking out over the garden. Though the blue AGA is a nod to farmhouse tradition. If the weather is fine, dinner can be served outside on the patio at the long dining table. An old cherry tree provides patio shade on sunny days and if you visit in Spring, you might catch the blossom falling like snow. If you don’t fancy cooking in the kitchen or firing up the barbecue, there’s a handful of cosy country pubs in Hemsley town, a two-minute walk away.   

Cherry Tree

Yorkshire Gem

Set within the North York Moors National Park, the village of Osmotherley is a quaint resting spot for hikers and history fans. As this fantastic home is located just a four-minute drive from the Mount Grace Priory House and Gardens, you might fancy spending the day roaming the ruins of a medieval monastery. Or with hills to the north and south, you can amble to your heart’s content. Either way, this magnificent house will be ideal to come home to after exploring the beauty of Yorkshire.

Although it’s set over three fabulous floors, the entrance is truly the heart of the home. Modern, elegant, and opulent, the decor makes use of natural elements like wood and stone, with a muted colour palette. You’ll love stepping into the open-plan kitchen, where a huge skylight allows soft sunlight to beam down while you enjoy a hearty brunch. Or in the evening, you might find yourself by the log-burning stove in the formal dining space, sipping red wine alongside a Sunday roast. Afterwards, head up to the top floor, where you can admire the original architecture of chunky timber beams in the eaves of this grand country home.

Courtyard

Open the door onto Yorkshire country life with a stay at this characterful stone-built cottage, set in the gently bustling market town of Kirkbymoorside.

Carefully reimagined for modern living, the magnificent, beamed ceilings and exposed stonework remain to add charm and character. While a light-drenched sunroom with original flagged flooring feels firmly in the 21st century – it’s the perfect spot for morning coffees and afternoon lolls with the papers. Or take things outside to the suntrap courtyard in the summer months.

Upstairs, the two sunny, elegant bedrooms are spread over two floors, so you’ll have some extra privacy here. Though prepare for a tussle for that main bedroom with one hug of a king-sized bed, views of the Yorkshire Wolds, and a separate dressing room.

Back downstairs, rustling up a bite to eat is a delight in the traditional, farmhouse-style kitchen – or skip the cooking and head to Kirkbymoorside’s bakeries and traditional inns, all just a short walk away.

When you’re suitably refuelled and ready for an adventure, you’re perched right on the southern boundary of the North York Moors national park for bracing walks or, a smidge further, days on the coast. After something a little more gentile? Then the historic city of York is an afternoon well spent. 

Box of Fudge

This charming home in the heart of Yorkshire is a real escape from reality. A traditional stone cottage in the village of Crayke, it’s got bags of character, plenty of style and next-level comfort. Take the living room, for example. Does anything sound cosier than sinking into the plush sofa and warming your feet on the glow from the wood-burner? The kitchen, complete with an AGA, is well-equipped for creating an impressive feast, which is just as well as there are excellent dining spaces to choose from here. The dining room, with its original fireplace, has an atmospheric feel, but in the summer, a leisurely dinner in the wild-flower filled garden is a delight. There are outstanding walks and cycle trails nearby, an award-winning pub (The Durham Ox) is a 200m dander away, and for history and culture, York is a 14-mile drive.

Single-Level Home

Formerly a stonemason's workshop, who worked on local churches, schools and Ampleforth Abbey, this home has now been fully renovated for a comfortable stay. There's a wood burner in the double-height living room for cosy evenings in and a small courtyard for taking in the Yorkshire air. Opposite the cottage, you’ll find a café – there’s also a grocery shop within a five-minute walk and a couple of pubs. The market town of Helmsley, with its castle, gardens and a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants, is just a five-minute drive too.

Here's A Dream

Expertly renovated, this former piggery is anything but a pigsty. The interiors are bright, contemporary and poised. A trendy white and grey colour scheme is beautifully livened up with botanical flourishes and earthy green tones, particularly in the bedroom. Take advantage of balmy afternoons with a late lunch on your private courtyard – accompany your spread with local produce from the farm shop just around the corner. After a strong cup of tea and a hunk of sticky parkin, strap on your walking shoes and explore the endless bridleways and trails of the Howardian Hills that surround your home. If you’re keen to explore further afield, an hour’s drive places you at the coast – take your pick between sunny Scarborough and quirky Whitby. When it’s time to call it a day, just before you arrive home to your comfortable king-size bed, make a pit stop in nearby Malton for hearty northern grub – it’s not called Yorkshire’s Food Capital for nothing.

Once you've wandered about this home nestled away in the North Yorkshire countryside for the first time, it probably won't come as a surprise to learn that it was once a hotel. The vast size of the building and its grounds partially give the game away, but there's also something about how the communal areas are arranged, especially the pool table and bar that make it an especially sociable space.

You'll also get a sense of the home's heritage pretty quickly as well. Located on a farm that dates back to the 18th century, there's a strong rustic charm throughout the interior, from the wooden ceiling beams and stone archways to the open fireplace that's wonderful to retire next to after a long bout in the great outdoors. 

Speaking of which, there's a whole host of amenities on the grounds for when the forecast is being kind to you. As well as a large lawn and lots of equipment for playing games, there's plenty of seating for alfresco feasts, as well as a hot tub that's an idyllic spot for a nightcap, especially once the stars are out in the sky.

In the local area, there's a wealth of attractions to be discovered, from the Victorian spa town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea just two-and-a-half miles away to the Cleveland Way National Trail, which can be reached on foot and rewards those that follow the path with views of the dramatic coastal landscape.

If we told you to imagine a postcard-perfect coastal village, you'd probably picture something like Runswick Bay. Cute clusters of red-roofed cottages hug a sheltered stretch of sandy beach, where you can do all the lovely seaside things - explore rock pools, go on coastal walks at sunset and, of course, consume copious amounts of ice cream. After a hard day breathing in all that fresh sea air, this cabin is a welcome base to return to. Making memories with loved ones is easy in the open-plan living space, while two sun-kissed terraces are perfect for leisurely breakfasts and even more leisurely evening drinks. Nippy nights are no bother when you're curled up on the sofa by the fire. And if you've fallen for this area's seaside charms, you are well positioned to explore the nearby coastal gems of North Yorkshire, including Whitby, Staithes, Sandsend and Saltburn-by-the-Sea.

Cloaked in ivy, this home's stone-clad facade charms from the outset. You'll find it situated in an old school house in the heart of Richmond, brimming with character. Adorning a timeless canvas of high ceilings and hardwood, heated floors, exquisitely renovated interiors are equal parts cosy and chic, while huge windows usher in floods of natural light. We especially love the open-plan living space, primed for relaxation with a fully-fitted kitchen, large dining table and cosy lounge. Outside, a patio equipped with furniture and potted plants offers an idyllic spot for sunbathing in the warmer months.

Here, you're perfectly positioned to explore, just shy of a seven-minute walk from Richmond Castle and even closer to the cobbled market square. After a restful slumber in the sumptuous bedrooms – dressed with premium linens and eco-friendly Harrison Spinks mattresses – brew your morning fix with the Smeg coffee machine before slipping out for a stroll. Head across Mercury Bridge and towards the Old Richmond station, where an art gallery, three-screen cinema an award-winning array of eateries is sure to keep your clan entertained. If you fancy venturing further afield, lace up your walking boots and hike through the wild, untouched beauty of the Yorkshire Dales – a twenty-minute drive away.

Seven minutes by car from Durham city centre, this former rectory plays host to a most luxurious home that feels a world away from urban life. In the rolling fields of County Durham lies a village called Witton Gilbert. At its heart, you’ll find local pubs, shops, and a bowling green, but a five-minute walk will take you up to your vast manor. Enter through majestic,  wrought-iron gates, up your private drive, to the bright blue front door – a cheery invitation to welcome you inside. With modern, velvet furniture in the living space illuminated by enormous bay windows, the gold detailing truly shimmers in the afternoon sun. Pad across the plush carpet to the flagstone floors of the kitchen, where you can rustle up a wholesome Sunday roast on the bottle-green Aga. The dining space has ample room for the whole family, with a rustic table made from huge planks of wood, for a nod to country living. On a balmy summer evening, you might even want to trade the dining table for a picnic on the lawn, followed by a game of tennis on your private court (and a gin and tonic after sunset).

Located just a nine-minute walk from the centre of the lively and beautiful market town of Beverley, this home was built in the mid-eighteenth-century on one of the ancient streets that were once the route for pilgrims visiting the shrine of St John the Minster, and for traders using the Hessle ferry to travel to both Lincolnshire and the London market. 

On warmer days, we would love nothing more than to take our morning cup of tea and breakfast outside to the home’s courtyard to enjoy the fresh air. Then, explore everything that Beverley has to offer, from Saturday markets to antique centres, from its thriving music scene to competitive escape room fun. What’s more, the medieval skyline remains unspoilt, so why not stop at a cafe and enjoy the view?

Plus, Beverley Westwood is roughly a two-minute drive away from this home where you can enjoy leisurely walks, a round of golf or even watch some horse racing at the racecourse. 

In the evening, return to this home which combines period features with the modern lifestyle. Sit back and relax as you enjoy a cinema experience in the living room or curl up in front of the log-burning fire and enjoy a good back. You can even enjoy summer nights alfresco, and stay warm beside the firepit as you roast marshmallows.  

Pilgrimage Point

This quaint stone-built terraced cottage on Haworth’s historic cobbled main street puts you within easy reach of the area’s local pubs, shops, cafes and restaurants, not to mention the Bronte Parsonage Museum less than a five-minute walk away. The decor is exactly what you’d expect of a cosy, rustic cottage – original beams and stonework, and a wood-burning stove in the downstairs living room. While you’ll need to climb some stairs to reach the bedrooms on the upper floor, the zip-and-link beds provide flexibility for families or friends sharing, and the parking permit provided is a welcome addition for those looking to explore further afield by car.

Green is the theme at this beautifully restored historic farmhouse; rolling pastures all around and exquisite emerald, olive and moss hues inside. Recently featured in Elle Décor, the owner is an interior designer and a lovely host to boot. Welcoming your whole brood and then some, there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out in the three gorgeous sitting rooms, seven individually styled bedrooms, large bespoke, country kitchen and expansive garden. Those travelling with young children will love the playroom, chock-full of games and toys to keep them quiet for hours on end. There is billiards and table tennis in the outhouse if the big kids want to get involved, too. A boot room makes a no-stress entrance for muddy wellies after yomps through the surrounding countryside and the endless lawns call for picnics and croquet in the sunshine. Your nearest village is Piercebridge, situated three miles away, with its own farm shop and proper pub. Further afield, the Yorkshire Dales, Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Barnard Castle are all within a forty-five-minute drive – perfect for family days out in the fresh air.

Enchanted Forest

It seems quite fitting that a home situated in the heart of the picturesque and historic County Durham should be equally charming – and this cottage nestled on the edge of the village of Hurworth fits the bill perfectly. Surrounded by lush woodlands and steps away from the river Tees, this is an ideal spot to base yourself if you wish to enjoy the tranquillity and natural beauty of this region. 

While the cottage retains its original character, the inside has been fully renovated and restored, offering all the modern comforts to make your stay a restful one. Step through the front door to be greeted by a bright and welcoming interior, with a cosy living room, perfect for lounging about and enjoying movie nights and evenings of wine and conversation by the fire. 

The bright and well-equipped kitchen inspires to create delicious feasts which can be shared with your loved ones either indoors or out in the privacy of the back garden.

For a night of rest and relaxation head upstairs, where you can unwind in the luxurious bathtub before getting some quality sleep in the comfy bedrooms. Wake up restored and plan your day’s adventures with a cup of coffee in the garden. 

Why not head to the village and enjoy lunch at one of the lovely pubs or drive over to nearby Darlington for a spot of shopping. Just minutes down the road you'll also find the Rockliffe Hall Golf Hotel & Spa resort, set on a 365-acre estate and boasting one of the UK’s largest spas, an 18-hole championship golf course and multiple restaurants including fine dining options.

Let's Walk By the River

Fenced Garden

Just a mile from the beautiful sandy and shingle shores of Marske Beach, this newly built holiday home is perfectly positioned to explore this picturesque stretch of the North Sea coast.

The majority of the individually decorated rooms include an eye-catching feature wall, adding a splash of colour and a playful atmosphere to the home, while the enclosed garden is perfect for outdoor dinners and playtime with four-legged friends and energetic children. 

You'll hear the occasional cheer from the terraces of the nearby football club. Still, its family-friendly atmosphere on match days makes it an ideal candidate for a first football match, with little worry about the outlay when your children inevitably grow bored around fifteen minutes in. 

After catching a snippet of the game, enjoy an afternoon stroll southwards along the dramatic coast towards the historic seaside spa town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea with its iconic cast iron pier stretching 208 metres out to sea and its Grade II-listed cliff lift.

Beneath the Marske

In the heart of historic Whitby, this snug apartment provides the perfect retreat for two. Cosy and contemporary, what it lacks in space, it more than makes up for in comfort. We can already picture ourselves sinking into the plush sofa with a cup of Yorkshire brew after a day in the fresh sea air. Outside, a charming little patio beckons on summer days – it's a sweet spot to enjoy a glass of wine and nibble on Wensleydale cheese as the sun slowly sets. There's also a sleek kitchen ideal for rustling up lighter bites, a glossy bathroom and a sumptuous bedroom that will leave you feeling well-rested and ready to explore.

The enviable locale makes exploring a breeze. Spend the afternoon dipping in and out of the independent shops, old-world pubs and delicious eateries in the city centre, or head down to the waterfront pier and Blue Flag beach for a taste of the seaside. You also can't miss the famous ruins of Whitby Abbey or the 199 Steps – the views from the top of the hill are hard to beat.

As You Wish

This seaside home is perfectly positioned in the heart of Whitby for exploring its bustling town centre and sandy shores. Bright and stylish, the apartment makes great use of space, with an open concept design that is perfect for kicking up your feet and unwinding after an exciting day out. Bathed in natural light from the double patio doors with views of the sea, the living room comes with comfortable sofas, a telescope for stargazing and nautical-themed art to create a calm ambience. The sleek kitchen features high spec appliances that will make cooking a delight, so whip up a hearty breakfast and head out to your sun-kissed balcony for the perfect start to any day. In a prime location, you’re within walking distance of a surplus of restaurants and cafes waiting to serve up the catch of the day or a local cream tea. Discover Whitby’s West Cliff Beach, climb up the historic 199 steps of Saint Mary's Church and explore Whitby Abbey. After a long day, come back for sunset drinks on the balcony and a peaceful night’s sleep to the sound of the sea.

Shhh. Can you hear that sound? Us neither. Quietness and tranquility await in this truly extraordinary country cottage in the North Yorkshire dales. The home's glorious traditional features - original stone floors, warm wooden beams, a roaring fireplace - are full of character, but it's the styling of this home that will make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. In the welcoming living room, the exquisitely-soft turquoise sofa is the perfect place to while away the hours with a book from the well-stocked bookshelf, and Eastern-inspired touches (including Buddha statues) add to the sense of calm. The kitchen, with its white marble countertops and exposed stone walls, is the ideal spot to cook up a rib-sticking meal. The bedrooms are elegant but simply furnished, with mustard yellow blankets and a dried flower wreath creating little moments of joy. But perhaps the real peace here comes from the scenery – this home is in the Yorkshire Dales’ Arkengarthdale, a beautifully remote location where you can hike for miles without seeing another soul. Bliss.
