Nestled in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, the location and interiors of this cosy cottage make it perfect for a romantic retreat or a small family getaway. The home is full of charm and character, with stone walls, flagstone floors, exposed beams, and a wood-burning stove creating a homely atmosphere. You’re situated just on the edge of Glaisdale, a charming village boasting a traditional pub, a village shop and an award-winning butcher. The location is ideal for walks around the rugged moorland, and you’re less than a thirty-minute drive from the stunning beaches of Whitby and the Cleveland coast. Once you get back from a day of exploring, take a seat in your walled garden and breathe in the fresh country air. If hiking’s your thing, the free-standing tub in the bedroom is the perfect tonic for weary legs.

Home truths
Mobile reception will depend on your service provider and can be patchy – unlimited wi-fi is included to keep you connected
The bedroom is on the first floor, up a flight of stairs, so this home may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
The en-suite bath is actually located within the bedroom itself

Given the location, you may occasionally hear some morning noise from the farm animals
Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and highchair are available upon request
