This beautiful, stone-built cottage for two nestles beside the River Esk in the peaceful village of Egton Bridge on the North York Moors. Surrounded by the splendid landscapes and quaint villages of the national park, and with the Yorkshire coast only 8 miles away, this is the perfect base from which to enjoy both a countryside and coastal holiday. Walkers will delight in the wealth of trails from the front door; follow the banks of the river and join the long-distance Coast to Coast Path to see the best of the region’s natural beauty. On your return from rural rambles, Egton Bridge welcomes you with two traditional pubs. For days by the sea, the popular coastal towns and villages of Sandsend, Whitby, and Robin Hood’s Bay are all within 12.5 miles, offering endless opportunities for fish and chips on the sand, vibrant promenades and piers, and memorable views of the North Sea.
Before stepping inside this delightful cottage, take a moment to appreciate its peaceful surroundings and the sounds of the river that meanders past. The property dates back to the 1850s, and as you walk inside, its rich history lives on in the form of exposed ceiling beams, twisting cottage stairs and cosy corners – all of which are complemented by modern, homely comforts. Step into the heart of the home, the open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner. With chic wooden flooring, underfloor heating and whitewashed walls, this is an attractive and peaceful space to unwind after days of Yorkshire adventure together. Sink into the sumptuous sofa to rest weary walking muscles, flicking on the Smart TV for easy entertainment and firing up the crackling wood burner on chilly nights. When it’s time to eat, move over to the well-appointed kitchen space and find all you’ll need to cook up a romantic feast for two. Dine together at the chic breakfast bar, or if the weather permits, eat alfresco out in the tranquil garden. At the end of each day away, follow the cottage-style stairs to the first floor where a wonderful double bedroom awaits. With exposed wooden beams and curved, whitewashed walls, this is the perfect spot to rest and recharge before the next day of adventure. A well-equipped and airy en-suite bathroom completes the interior, inviting you to soak in the roll-top bath.
Step out into the enclosed garden, which offers a marvellous spot to relax and appreciate the surrounding tranquillity. Sit on the patio together, sipping on a morning coffee or dining alfresco at the table and chairs. A lawned garden surrounded by flower beds and greenery is perfect for soaking in the sun as you catch up on your holiday read. While there is no private parking at the property, on-street parking is available.
