2 Bedroom Cottage in York

As cosy and comfortable as they come, this charming home-from-home set within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the perfect base for couples and families to explore the North York Moors National Park and the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast. After exploring your stunning surroundings, the light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with underfloor heating boasts a warm, homely atmosphere that invites you to get creative with your delicious local produce in the contemporary kitchen, plan tomorrow’s adventure over dinner seated around the rustic dining table and unwind weary walking muscles by hunkering down on the comfy sofa and catching the latest blockbuster on the Smart TV. When you can’t resist that call of bedtime, head upstairs to indulge in a long soak in the bath in the family bathroom before retiring to either of the two characterful bedrooms that feature a soothing neutral colour palette that’ll send you into a peaceful doze before tomorrow’s adventure. Soak up your fresh countryside air by enjoying the shared tennis court, strolling around the shared grounds or dining alfresco on the patio. Set within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoy everything there is to love about traditional countryside living at the sleepy village of Gilling East, boasting winding scenic trails in and around the village to explore, as well as scenes of listed architecture steeped in history and heritage. Gilling East is the perfect base to explore the North York Moors National Park, the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast and the area’s best local produce from nearby Helmsley just under 6 miles away, home to a weekly Friday market and wonderful choice of tearooms, pubs and restaurants. Soak up your local scenery by riding a steam train from Pickering (18 miles) to be rewarded with views of the sublime landscape.
