River View - Stokesley

Cute as a button and cosy as can be, this riverside retreat is perfect for a romantic getaway for two or a fun family holiday. Located next to Stokesley High Street and overlooking the scenic River Leven that flows through the village, this pretty cottage welcomes up to three guests and one happy hound. After thrilling days roaming the North York Moors and exploring the Yorkshire coast, this beautifully renovated property is the ideal base to rest and recharge.

Arranged over two storeys, this mid-terrace cottage cleverly combines period features with contemporary comforts. Soothing neutral hues, warm colours and thoughtfully chosen furnishings create a cosy and inviting atmosphere that feels like a home-from-home as soon as you step inside. The front door leads directly to a cosy and elegant lounge, set beneath a beamed ceiling. Sink into the plush sofa or gently sway on the rocking chair as you settle in after a long, country walk, wood burner roaring on chilly days. A Smart TV invites you to catch up on your favourite TV shows, or simply gaze out the window and across to the river opposite.

At the rear of this bijou property is a light and fresh kitchen, with everything you need to prepare hearty breakfasts, picnic lunches and delicious dinners. Dine inside or out with a dining table in the kitchen and a cute bistro table in the rear courtyard.

When night falls, head upstairs to find a beautifully presented king-size bedroom, along with a cosy single room. After a rejuvenating sleep, savour a refreshing shower in the chic and modern shower room before heading out on new adventures.

This property sits in the elegant market town of Stokesley, known as the gateway to the North York Moors. Blessed with independent shops, a weekly Friday market and monthly farmers’ market, and a picturesque river running through town, it makes a charming base.

Along the road, the attractive village of Great Ayton (3 miles) has a wonderful village vibe. With a selection of pubs, restaurants, cafes and tearooms, you could eat out every night if you wanted to. As home to a young Captain Cook, there is also the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum which allows you to explore his early life in the surrounding area. If you love to walk, from Great Ayton you can walk up to Roseberry Topping (2-mile walk); a prominent hill with lots of walking trails that lead up to the distinctive summit and cliffs.

The vibrant little village of Osmotherley (11 miles) is well known as a starting point for walkers and cyclists. This gorgeous little place is real picture-postcard stuff. It also offers excellent facilities including a cafe, village stores and a fish and chip shop. If you're a bit of a foodie, this part of Yorkshire is packed with fantastic gastropubs, restaurants and delis. Situated within the western reaches of the North York Moors, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1987, Osmotherley has close proximity to lush pastures and woodlands. The western moors play host to grand country houses, atmospheric ruins and handsome market town and the views from here are simply stunning, and there are walks and cycle routes in every direction. You are very close to the famous Cleveland Way as well as many more well-known and picturesque moorland walks, some of which lead all the way to the sea.

This property’s position at the northern end of the North York Moors means the coast is easily accessible from here. To breathe in the fresh, sea air, head to the seaside town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea (14 miles) with its pier, cliff tramway, golden sand and clean surf.
