Yorkshire Enchantment

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

Set within the North York Moors National Park, the village of Osmotherley is a quaint resting spot for hikers and history fans.

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.

You'll feel like you've walked into a Period Living magazine photo shoot as soon as you step foot inside this magical home.

Peach Cobbler

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.

Whitestone Cliffs Sanctuary

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.

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.

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.

No Warmer Welcome

Espresso Machine

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.

Ivy & Gold

This charming Tudor castle, built in 1560, has been fully restored to create the perfect romantic retreat for two. Set in the picturesque Teesdale landscape, this historic property is located near the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Park, as well as the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Guests can admire the ornate roof beams carved from oak trees felled over 400 years ago in the dining hall, and relax in the cosy living room with a wood-burning stove set within a Tudor fireplace. The bedroom features a double bed on an oak floor adorned with Persian rugs and offers stunning views of the walled garden and the high moors beyond. The property also boasts an enclosed courtyard garden and two designated parking spaces. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small additional charge.

The Daffodil Garden

It's not every day you get to stay in a home dating back to the 18th century. However, this stone cottage in the Castle Howard Estate village of Coneysthorpe invites guests to do just that. Meanwhile, included in your stay, the owners offer a free voucher to use at the Castle Howard Farm Shop and free access to Castle Howard. While vintage pieces bring historic charm, modern home luxuries ensure comfort and practicality. The roll-top bath, for example, is a particularly sweet touch – and the perfect spot to relax after country walks on and around the grounds. Beyond the local area, you'll find the city of York, less than half an hour's drive away. 



Cottage on the Hill

In the centre of Whitby, this apartment puts a Blue Flag beach and narrow, medieval alleyways within easy walking distance. It’s a five-minute jaunt to the sprawling sands of Whitby Beach and you can even take the lift down the cliffs. A five-minute dander in the other direction sees you at the riverfront, where award-winning fish and chips await.

After a day exploring the gothic history of Whitby, return to a haven of calm at this apartment. The neutral-toned decor provides a soothing spot to unwind in the living room where a wood-burning stove keeps things cosy. Herringbone floor runs throughout the ground floor, and the kitchen in sleek dove grey has everything you need for self-catering. Retire to the bedroom with a big bay window and awake naturally to sunlight streaming in. 

The Salt Collector

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

Perched above the tiny village of Rosedale Abbey, this former vicarage has beautiful views of the rolling Yorkshire countryside. There’s a local shop, tea room, pub and café within walking distance, but it’s all about rambles into the countryside here. Despite the historic building, the interior is stylish and modern with three separate lounges to spread out across – a sunny orangery extension, and two formal living rooms with working fireplaces. Bedrooms are cosy spots for sound sleep, but it’s the barbecue deck outside that takes the cake with a panoramic view of the valley and hills.

Air Conditioning

Built in 1862, this character-filled home that was once a stable boy's accommodation is now a cosy and atmospheric 21st-century getaway. We love every irresistible inch, from the light-filled skylights and gorgeous sea views down to the glossy parquet floor. The sumptuous master bedroom is so stylish, it's hard to believe it's all upcycled from cladding and roof joists, and the master bathroom is even better. Relax with a soak in the lavish free-standing bathtub or rinse off under the rainfall shower. The living area is warm and incredibly comfortable. In the mornings, open the bi-fold doors and sip your coffee on the Juliet balcony, watching the ocean waves from the floor-to-ceiling windows. After a tasty breakfast rustled up in the blue kitchen, head up to the roof terrace to soak up the sunshine. Decked out with lush greeny and a barbecue, you'll want to spend every minute you're not at the beach sitting up here, enjoying alfresco meals and sipping cocktails as the sun sets over the water. Speaking of the sea, it's just a five-minute walk down to the beach or into town, where you can snack on fish and chips and grab a pint at one of the local pubs. Shopaholics can browse Saltburn-by-the-Sea's independent boutiques, keen hikers can walk along the Cleveland Way or for a more leisurely pace, just stroll along the Victorian pier, relishing in the salty sea air.

A Glimpse of Glory

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

Games Room

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

Tennis Court

Step-Free Access

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).

The Ecclesiastic

Parking On Street

Once a traditional weaver’s cottage, this cosy place is in the charming village of Brompton, across the road from the village green and next to the church. Yet, the myriad shops, cafes and the train station of Northallerton are just a short drive down the road. There’s a lot of sofa space for such a petite home, with the main lounge set around a wood-burning stove and an additional seating area in the next room. The dine-in kitchen has everything you need for self-catering and bedrooms are cosy spots to lay your head.
