Slip into a slower pace of life in this delightful holiday retreat for four in the North Yorkshire village of Thornton Dale. Thornton Dale (sometimes called Thornton-le-Dale) is an idyllic Yorkshire village with chocolate-box cottages, a duck pond, and a pretty village green. The village has a collection of independent shops and cafes, and is the starting point for a plethora of countryside, woodland, and riverside walks. Just 8 miles away is Dalby Forest, with its network of walking, cycling, and mountain bike trails, and a fascinating sculpture trail, plus a Go Ape course. Pickering is 2.5 miles away where you can hop aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and venture to the Gothic coastal town of Whitby (20 miles). Alternative days out from the cottage include the Victorian seaside resort of Scarborough (16 miles), Flamingo Land (6 miles), and the beautiful walled gardens of Scampston Hall (10 miles).
The quaint stone cottage still retains many of its original features, giving the property a real sense of character. Great attention has been taken to create a memorable backdrop for your holiday, with a wonderful collection of stylish accessories, plush soft furnishings, and statement wallpapers. Enter the cottage into the bright and stylish kitchen, featuring vibrant tiles and all the equipment needed for a self-catering holiday. Share meals together at the beautiful dining table with bench seating in the cosy dining room. The separate lounge is warm and inviting, with panelled walls, a beamed ceiling, and sumptuous seating to sink into after a day of adventure. Spend time catching up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV in this cosy space. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs to discover two magnificent bedrooms – a king-size and a double – both with their own, unique styling. A spacious bathroom with an indulgent, free-standing bath rounds off the accommodation.
Outside, relax in your private garden, sipping on a sundowner or toasting marshmallows around the fire pit. The property has private parking for one car.
