This welcoming, traditional property in Thornton-le-Dale is the ideal accommodation option for small families or groups of friends in search of a tranquil and relaxing holiday within easy driving distance of the North Yorks National Park. The friendly village of Thornton-le-Dale is famous as the location of an exceptionally pretty thatched cottage that has appeared on countless calendars and chocolate boxes. Just 2.5 miles away, you’ll find the market town of Pickering, which is packed with historic buildings, independent boutiques and cosy eateries. Take your hiking boots with you because the route of the famous White Rose Way - a long distance trail from Leeds to Scarborough - passes right through the village. Alternatively, head to Dalby Forest (10 miles) to bike along some of its 55 miles of cycle trails. If you stay for the evening, you may be pleasantly surprised when the stars come out, because the forest is one of the best places in England to enjoy the night sky.

Step inside and you’ll find yourself in a welcoming vestibule and sun room. Take a moment to make yourself at home and then head to the kitchen to whip up some dinner for your loved ones. Get the whole gang together around the table in the dining room to eat, before heading to the lounge to relax in front of the open coal fireplace. A handy utility room and a cloakroom with a WC round off the ground-floor layout. Head upstairs and you’ll find two lovely bedrooms – one with a double bed (which can be converted to twin beds on request) and a single bed, as well as a smart en-suite bathroom. There is also a standard double bedroom. An elegant family bathroom completes the first-floor layout.

Outside, you’ll find a glorious split-level garden with a patio and sun deck – so pour yourself a drink and treat yourself to a dip in the hot tub (extra charge)

Cottage was very spacious and a lovely garden and hot tub. It would benefit from a gate or some sort of barrier at the top near the garage so dogs are completely safe. The owner was very obliging in sorting a couple of issues.

The property location was very good and on the whole was good but there are a few things which could be improved such as:- 1. the quality of the double bed is not good as it is made up of two different beds and they are not at the same level nor does one of the beds have a head board. 2. There are no directions on the website to tell you how to fiRead morend the dedicated parking spot at the rear of the property. 3. There is a DVD player but you are not made aware that there are no DVD's until you arrive at the property. 4. The property information pack in the cottage is out of date as the location given for the guy who looks after the hot tub is out of date. Hide

Virginia cottage was just beautiful. A real home from home. If you like period properties with beams etc then this is the one for you. We had everything we needed to make the week enjoyable with the added bonus of the hot tub in the garden and a secure garden for the dogs. The log fire was set ready to light when we arrived and heating already on sRead moreo the cottage was lovely and warm on arrival which was a bonus as the weather was awful . Secure parking to the rear of the garden or on the road in front if required. It was in a great location 100yds from the main shops and some lovely walks and on the main road should you wish to travel further a field. All in all a lovely week and a great host. Thank you. Hide
