Enjoy a multi-generational getaway on the southern fringe of the North York Moors National Park. The farm shop and café nearby offer an authentic taste of local life; for more self-catering supplies, visit market town Pickering or picturesque Thornton Dale (within 1.5 miles). Enjoy train trips from Pickering – at Grosmont the heritage railway connects to the Esk Valley Line for onward journeys to Whitby (21 miles). Alternatively, the Edwardian resort of Filey (21 miles) and lively Scarborough (17 miles) are fine choices for a coastal road trip. Castle Howard (14 miles) is a stunning stately home with acres of grounds to explore, plus a great adventure playground. Head north instead and Dalby Forest (5 miles) – in the heart of the Moors – has trails to follow and family-themed activities including a Go Ape high-rope course. The Flamingo Land theme park and zoo (5.5 miles) offer further thrills for all ages. Visit the cultural city of York (26 miles) and discover an array of independent shops, eateries and exciting events.
The social hub of your holiday, the open-plan living space, is flooded with natural light and has areas dedicated to cooking, dining and unwinding. Contemporary furnishings and finishes are combined with all the essentials of home. Plus, sofas are arranged before a Smart TV in the lounge area, and the shaker-style kitchen caters to all your entertaining needs, with its accessories including a fridge/freezer and an island unit that houses a dishwasher and wine cooler. Bar-style seating on one side of the island is ideal for informal snacks and chatter as dinner cooks; when you’re ready to eat more formally, the dining suite is conveniently close by. As sleep-time approaches, a hallway leads to four blissful bedrooms, each with its own TV. Choose between two sumptuously furnished king-size bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room, or two twin bedrooms which share use of the family bathroom.
Your entertainment space extends effortlessly onto a large, enclosed outdoor decking area where you can fire up the BBQ to dine alfresco or enjoy woodland views as you while away the hours in your own private hot tub. There’s a children’s play area nearby, and if you’re bringing pets, they can let off steam in a designated dog-walking field, shared with the other properties on site.
