Situated in the pretty, bustling village of Great Ayton, this stunning property offers couples and families a great location within a few miles of the North York Moors National Park. With stunning scenery to admire, tranquillity to immerse yourselves in and a wealth of activities to enjoy, you will never be bored. There is something for everyone in this area, such as walking, cycling, fishing, photography and history. At the end of a busy day, you will love returning home to this stylish property and taking a soak in the private hot tub with a glass of your favourite tipple.

 As the former village police station, this property is steeped in history, but as you enter through the gates, you will notice there is nothing historical about this house. It has been lovingly renovated to create a contemporary, chic home with all the mod-cons. Stepping through the front door, you will find yourself in the hallway which is the perfect place to cast off muddy boots and wet coats. You then move into the light, airy and spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The blend of natural stones, warm woods and sumptuous fabrics create an elegant yet comfortable feel, with the light flooding through the two sets of French doors. The kitchen is well-equipped and there is plenty of seating for everyone at the sturdy dining table.

Staying on the ground floor, you’ll find one of the beautiful bedrooms (a twin, which can also be made up as a king-size by request when booking) and its boutique hotel-style en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath; its natural stone tiles create a sense of warmth. The second bedroom, another gorgeous king-size, is upstairs and also has a contemporary, stylish en-suite shower room. Both bedrooms are tastefully decorated and have a TV so that you can curl up under the duvet and enjoy your favourite shows.

The tasteful renovations continue outside with a large patio/courtyard with slate and chippings underfoot and clean lines and contrasting tones creating impact. There is an outside sofa for you to sit and enjoy a coffee and a newspaper or a glass of prosecco and good company. If you need to soothe your aching limbs after a day of activities, why not hop into the hot tub, sit back and relax. As it’s covered, you can make the most of it come rain or shine. There is off-road parking available for one car, with additional parking available on request."

Great location for exploring the area. Great Ayton is a lovely village with lots to offer, some super coffee shops within walking distance from the cottage. Cottage was ok for 2 of us, would have been a bit tight for 4 people.

The Old Police House was everything we hoped for - comfortable, beautifully refurbished, secure for the dogs, and very conveniently located to enjoy the amenities of Great Ayton and the surrounding area. Many thanks, Laura and Josh, for a memorable holiday - we would love to come back.

Very nice house in a lovely village with good food options (Indian takeaway is good). The house was clean, comfortable and to a high standard. The gated private parking is secure and the hot tub a bonus. Area is great for walking especially with Roseberry Topping just an hour to the 'summit' from the front door. A great base for the beach and town Read moreexcursions. Welcome goodies in the house were much appreciated. Highly recommend. Hide

The cottage was great, suited our family of 4 very well, it was lovely and clean, the beds were very comfortable. It was lovely having the hot tub heated and ready whenever you wanted to use it. The location was great, easy access to the Moors, beach and surrounding towns and villages. Great Ayton is a lovely village with pubs, cafes and shops, butRead more still maintained a lovely village feel. I would highly recommend staying at the old police station. Hide
