Property code: OC-92428

Sink into the comfort of a five-star couple’s retreat, an ideal getaway at any time of the year. This sumptuous barn conversion cleverly combines all the charm of the old stone building with fabulous modern conveniences to create a truly relaxing and indulgent bolthole. Located on a hilltop above the pretty village of Grosmont, it has spectacular views of the beautiful countryside that surrounds it, while being within easy reach of the seaside town of Whitby and its variety of attractions.

Thanks to a thoughtful renovation in 2023, this former farm building is now a boutique-style rural bolthole, imbued with modern-rustic style for a restful and romantic escape. Underfloor heating throughout complements cool, high-quality furnishings, fabulous lighting and sleek design.

The open-plan living area is cosy and welcoming, combining spaces for cooking, eating and lounging in one room with a beautiful, high-pitched ceiling composed of tactile timber. Whip up some gourmet meals in the excellent kitchen, which has integrated appliances and plenty of cupboard space. There’s even a slimline dishwasher to make clearing up speedier. Dine at the breakfast bar before heading to the armchairs by the wood burner, ready for a quiet evening at home. There’s a Smart TV if you want to binge a favourite series.

When you’re ready to snooze, the double bedroom is sumptuously comfortable, with ample storage and a high headboard cleverly fitted into the old stone fire surround. Serene colours and natural textures make for a restful slumber. Your chic en-suite shower room features a generously sized, walk-in shower with a rainfall head.

Step outside onto your private patio and you can spend hours admiring the panoramic country vistas spread out in front of you. Here, you can dine al fresco meal or sip an aperitif as you relax in the fresh Yorkshire air. Please note this property does not accept infants or children

A wonderful cottage, so tastefully renovated with fabulous views. Perfect location for visiting the wonderful towns and villages and the seaside. Lovely walk down to the village of Grosmont where we sampled a few drinks. Fabulous break and hopefully we will visit again before too long

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location which has been restored to a very high standard. The views from it are outstanding and probably the best weve experienced. So much to do and see in the local area, with some lovely pubs nearby to visit and eat at. Will definitely return in the near future, one of our favourites
