2 Bedroom Cottage in Marton Le Moor

For a quintessentially Yorkshire experience, stay at this traditional stone cottage in a tiny village, a lovely countryside spot just 7 miles from Nidderdale AONB. Nearby, you’ll have miles of trails to explore taking in hills, forest and rivers, along with easy access to attractive towns like Ripon (4.5 miles) and Harrogate (14.5 miles). With space for four over two bedrooms, and three dogs also welcome, it’s wonderful for a family holiday or trip among good friends.

The inside of this period home has been beautifully renovated, offering a convenient open-plan layout so you can enjoy each other’s company in a comfortable space. You’ll appreciate the decor’s beautiful rustic style, which features plenty of wood, textured soft furnishings and tasteful retro furniture reminiscent of days gone by. Prepare home-cooked meals in the spacious farmhouse-style kitchen, where a large wooden table sets you up for leisurely meals. The beautifully decorated lounge has windows on opposite sides, letting plenty of light in, along with a cosy wood burner to keep you toasty. After a relaxing evening, head to the king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom or the twin room with an en-suite shower room for a great night’s sleep. If you’re blessed with good weather, head outside to the lovely, enclosed garden where there’s a lawn that children and pets will love. The patio area has furniture so you can dine alfresco.

You’ll have a pub and shop within 2 miles, and plenty more amenities in Ripon, a cathedral town with plenty of cafes and restaurants for meals out. When it’s time for some rural exploration, head east to the Howardian Hills (16 miles) or west to Nidderdale – both areas have mile upon mile of stunning countryside for you to explore. Harrogate is also wonderful for a day out, with its exquisite Turkish baths and iconic tea rooms.
