A romantic hideaway for two, this beautifully presented cottage makes a great base for exploring the magnificent landscapes of North Yorkshire. Set on a working farm, 3 miles from Pickering and 5.5 miles from Malton, it has one bedroom and sleeps two guests. One of three exclusive boltholes on the site, it enjoys exceptional access to the fabulous footpaths of the North York Moors, as well as North Riding Forest Park, 4 miles away, and the Howardian Hills, 8 miles away. Take time out to visit splendid Castle Howard, 11.5 miles from the cottage, or the majestic remains of Rievaulx Abbey, a distance of 19 miles. The property, just 2.5 miles from Flamingo Land, is also well positioned for the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast. Plan a trip to pretty Rob Hood’s Bay or historic Whitby, 24 miles away, where you can climb the 199 steps up to the abbey ruins.
Step inside to continue to appreciate the glorious views from the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of this impressive sanctuary. This main space features bi-folding doors at one end that pull the scenery right inside. Open the doors to bring the fresh air and sunshine in, then decide whether to absorb the views from the comfortable, light green sofa or from outside. This large, tiled room also includes a Smart TV so you can catch up on your favourite show when not chatting or reading your books. The kitchen, with its stylish, grey cabinets has been cleverly designed to ensure you have everything at your fingertips for whipping up delicious meals with the ingredients you have sourced on your many excursions. There is also a table where you can enjoy your feasts over a bottle of wine. Your attractive bedroom, with its comfortable, king-size iron bed, where you are certain to enjoy a superb night’s sleep, is on the floor above. Here you will also find a contemporary, en-suite shower room where you can refresh yourselves before and after each trip out.
Relax out in your private, courtyard garden on warm days. Sit out here on balmy evenings as the sun goes down over the fields and the stars begin to appear in the clear night skies above you. There is private, off-road parking for one car with this cottage.
