Welcome to this divine one-bedroom bijou hideaway set in one of Yorkshire's prettiest villages. Fabulously appointed with a host of additional services, this exquisite retreat is the perfect escape for couples. The property boasts stylish and sophisticated interiors, simply stunning views and the delights of a North Yorkshire country village a short stroll away.

This very special holiday home is set in the most wonderful location. Tucked away on the cusp of beautiful Goathland, the gorgeous uninterrupted views of the North York Moors are just the start of it. Designed to be the perfect luxury retreat for couples, everything about the place shouts grown-up glamour from the honesty drinks tray to the luxury welcome hamper. And with a host of extra services, you'll feel seriously pampered from the moment you arrive.

 

Let's start with the accommodation. Set at the bottom of extensive private grounds, finding this escape is like discovering a magical garden den. Handsome grey wooden cladding invites you into a spacious open-plan living area. The style is reminiscent of a hip Shoreditch hotel, but with a touch of country-chic to remind you that you're actually in North Yorkshire. The lounge boasts a comfortable and stylish sofa with feature woodburner, perfect to curl up together in front of a movie. Snuggly rugs are there too to make sure you're nice and cosy. There's a large wall-mounted Smart LCD TV and Wi-Fi is provided if you want to catch up online. 

The compact kitchen has an immaculate contemporary style; glossy grey units combine with chunky wooden worktops and bright accessories. You'll find a dishwasher, a ceramic hob, electric oven, microwave and a Nespresso coffee maker in here along with well-equipped cupboards for the cooks among you. The dining table sits by French doors affording wonderful views of the moors while you eat.

Set just behind the living area is the fabulous bedroom, a warm wooden-clad space with a cosy ski chalet vibe. With its king-size bed, crisp cotton bedding, comfy throws, cushions and soft mood lighting, you just won't want to get out of bed.  

The bathroom sits immediately behind the bedroom, another contemporary and stylish room with a real boutique-hotel feel. In here you'll find sleek grey tiles and a large walk-in shower. Complimentary L'Occitane toiletries are provided for you as well as fluffy white robes and slippers.

There is so much to enjoy outside this wonderful holiday home. Guests are welcome to use the paths over the owner's private estate which is home to over 80 species of birds. To the front through the French doors, you'll discover a beautifully landscaped garden complete with a lawned area and mature planting. To the left is a private patio with front row seats of that incredible view. Throw open the doors and settle down to a long and lazy lunch with a bottle of fizz or two. With any luck, you'll spot the local wild Roe deer bounding across the meadow.

There are further pretty gardens to the rear of the property. This area is a real suntrap in the summer months, perfect for stretching out on a rug with a good book or glossy magazine. In the sweet little shed next door there's plenty of lockable storage for bikes, a washing machine, freezer and BBQ. Extra wellies are provided too if you fancy a hike across the fields without ruining your best boots!

Beautiful cottage and well equipped. The owners have excelled themselves with the decor and furnishings and made this a very charming and cosy little place. Nature right on the doorstep, what more could you ask for! The owners are also very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended

Another lovely trip to this idyllic and unspoilt location. We thoroughly enjoyed the comforts of this wonderful property with its stunning views, peaceful surroundings and well-equipped interior. Despite bitterly cold weather we were warm and cosy; the snowfall only added to the picture postcard scene. Cant want to return again soon, thank you.

A beautiful, cosy cottage in a secluded location on Orchard Farm. It was well equipped for our needs with a lot of thought having clearly been given to detail. Plenty of space and seating for eating outside and relaxing if the weather allows. Hosts very hospitable and friendly with a generous welcome starter pack there on our arrival.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location overlooking fields, wooded valleys and up to the top of the moor. Deer and hares seen regularly in the fields just down from the cottage. The accommodation itself was spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. All tucked away from the farmhouse in amongst well maintained gardens with great views.

The cottage although compact is beautifully furnished and equipped and in a tranquil setting. Local restaurants re in walking dustance and provide a good choice. Local walks are abundant and the coast is only a 20 minute drive across the moors.

A bijou cottage in a quiet location. The cottage was equipped with everything needed to make for a comfortable holiday. It was located on the owners farm and just a few minutes walk from the village centre where there were a number of cafes and a small shop.

Perfect place for a romantic retreat. A beautifully designed space in a peaceful rural location. Goathland is a good village to explore the area from, with plenty of amenities within the village plus it's close to the coast (Whitby) too, a journey which can be done by bus or steam train. We really enjoyed our stay.
