This modern two-bedroom home sits in the heart of Thornton Le Moor, a sweet North Yorkshire village that makes a wonderful base for a holiday for couples or small families. It’s 4.5 miles from the bustling market town of Northallerton, where you’ll find a great mix of high-street shops, a weekly market, cinema, and plenty of tempting restaurants. Another great option is the pretty town of Thirsk (5 miles), also a market town brimming with pubs, shops and eateries – plus a dose of local heritage at The World of James Herriot Museum. Whether you’re up for gentle rambles or more adventurous hikes and cycle routes, you’ll find stunning scenery in every direction. You're perfectly placed between two national parks too, with the North York Moors 8 miles away and the Yorkshire Dales around 17 miles.

On arrival at this brand-new conversion, which is built from attractive brick, drive up the gravel path and straight into your private parking spot. Then step inside to a bright and welcoming entrance hallway – perfect for kicking off walking boots and hanging up coats after a day outdoors. The heart of the home is the light-filled open-plan living space, with a lounge, kitchen and dining area all flowing together. Floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights and a front patio bring the outside in, creating a cheery space for relaxed dinners or lazy mornings. Downstairs also features a king-size bedroom and a shower room with WC, ideal for guests who prefer to avoid the stairs. This room also has patio doors leading outside. Head up to the second king-size bedroom where you can soak up far-reaching views of the countryside, plus enjoy the convenience of an en-suite shower room and WC.

Outside, there's a spacious patio with table and chairs for al fresco meals, and a generous lawn area where dogs can stretch their legs to their heart’s content along with the lovely local dog walks straight from the garden.

We have just had a wonderful week at the Hayloft; the location is superb and ideal for visiting the Moors and the Dales. There are dog walks directly from the doorstep. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, well equipped and the beds were comfortable. WiFi signal is great as was the phone signal. Treats, bowls, poo bags and a doggy towel wereRead more provided for the four legged guests and the garden is enclosed and safe. The owners were lovely - very friendly and helpful. Can definitely recommend and we will be back! Hide
