Head out on foot or on two wheels to explore your picturesque surroundings. Stock up on local produce in Pickering, where you can also see the remains of the motte-and-bailey castle. History lovers might also like to plan a day out to Rievaulx Abbey, England’s most complete abbey ruin, 17 miles away.

Wander into this Yorkshire cottage via the covered porch, where you can hang your jackets and sit to remove shoes. Make your way inside and into the spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its vaulted and beamed ceiling. Head over to the kitchen to rustle up meals, a space that has been designed to ensure you have everything you require at your fingertips for self-catering during your stay. Dine at the lovely wooden table in here or outside in the pretty garden. The lounge area has comfortable seating where you can chat, play games or stream your favourite shows via the Smart TV. Open the French doors on hot days or switch on the wood burner-style electric fire to bring a glow to the room in winter. When you are ready to retire for the night, head down the hallway to your bedrooms, all of which have something of a boutique hotel finish to them. Enjoy a good night’s sleep in the super-king-size, twin or bunk bedroom. The super-king-size comes with an en-suite bathroom and a dressing area, while the twin and bunk bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms. All the bedrooms have Smart TVs.

While away fine afternoons out in the split-level courtyard garden. There are three steps between the two patio levels. Light the BBQ to grill supper under the night skies and relax in the hot tub. Guests can also take their dog to enjoy the 20-acre dog walking field. There is parking for two cars at the cottage, with additional space available elsewhere on the site if needed.
