Westfield House

Soak up the stunning, panoramic views from this magnificent retreat at Wold Newton, 8 miles from Filey, that also comes complete with its own covered, heated swimming pool. Set on a working farm where the owners live, but enjoying its privacy, this sumptuous, four-bedroom holiday home sleeps eight guests and benefits from a sizeable enclosed garden.

From here, head to the beach at Filey where you can spend the day relaxing on the sand and breathing the refreshing sea air. An idyllic location for walkers and cyclists, the Wolds Way can be picked up at Ganton, just 7 miles away, and there is an abundance of walks and cycle trails straight from the doorstep. Explore the picturesque scenery and wealth of country pubs serving home-cooked food in the area or take a stroll around the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy, 14.5 miles away. Other historical sites nearby include Sledmere House, 10 miles from your base, and Burton Agnes Hall, 9 miles away.

Wander into this spacious, detached farmhouse to find every room is just as luxurious as the last and has something about it to impress you. Like all the rooms to the front of the property, the inviting lounge captures spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. Light the wood burner in here and settle down in front of the Smart TV if you can tear yourself away from the rural vistas. Alternatively, relax in the adjacent, inviting reading room, in the cosy glow of a second wood burner and enjoy the Amazon Alexa. Find you also have a downstairs WC.

Discover the main heart of the house is to the other side of the reception hall, where the impressive, high-specification kitchen/diner is situated. Unpack the tasty Yorkshire produce you have bought in markets and farm shops in here then find everything you need, including a SMEG induction hob and electric double oven, to prepare delicious meals. Pour yourself a chilled glass of wine from the cooler or make a fresh cup of coffee in the machine to enjoy at the island or dining table while dinner cooks. Sit down to celebratory meals together at the table and find you have a handy utility room, with a freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer and ample space for muddy boots and coats. Climb the flight of wooden stairs with a glass balustrade from the utility room up to the spacious snug, where you can relax on the soft seating in front of the 70” Smart TV.

From the main hallway, venture up the grand staircase to discover your four opulent bedrooms. These include two super-king-size zip-and-link rooms, which can be arranged as twins on request. One of these has an en-suite shower room. To the rear of the house find two king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. There is also a gorgeous family bathroom, where you can soak in a long, hot bubble bath at the end of each eventful day.

Wake up to magnificent views every day of your stay and spill outside to enjoy them to the full. Have a dip in your very own heating swimming pool, covered with a clear roof to keep warmth in. A large, enclosed garden wraps around the front of the house with plenty of space for picnics and games. There is also a decked area arranged with comfortable outdoor furniture for outside dining and relaxation. To the rear of the property is an outdoor WC and secure storage for bikes and other outdoor gear. Find you have parking for four cars at the house, plus a charging point for electric cars.

Whether you prefer to explore the area on two wheels or with walking boots in tow, step out and unearth the Yorkshire countryside together. The North York Moors National Park begins just 12.5 miles away and offers an endless supply of waymarked walking or cycling routes for adventurers of all capabilities. Also plan a trip to the North Riding Forest Park, 19 miles, away.

Ensure you spend time on the stunning Yorkshire coastline, just 8 miles from the house. Visit Scarborough, 14 miles away, where you can make your way through the historic streets to explore the castle or pop into St Mary’s churchyard to visit Anne Bronte’s grave. Enjoy a stroll around the South Cliff area, taking in the famous spa and Italian Gardens. Catch the cliff lift down to the beach and walk around to the peaceful North Bay, visit the renowned Sea Life Centre or explore the beautiful Peasholm Park with its boating lake, woodland walks and Asian influences.

The old railway line which ran from Scarborough to Whitby is now a cycle and walking route and is the perfect choice if you feel like a coastal stroll taking in some spectacular scenery. Sitting at the eastern foot of the North York Moors, this area has a dramatic landscape of heather and open moorland. Somewhat smaller than the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors still cover an area of almost 600 square miles and, as in the Dales, you can easily find yourself miles from anywhere relatively quickly.

But there is something distinctly more civilised and less remote about the moors. In place of harsh limestone and dramatic peaks, you’ll find gently rolling hills of heather, ancient woodland and lazy rivers winding through lush green valleys. There is a sense of wilderness, particularly on top of the high central moorlands, but it’s cast in comforting soft focus.
