Overflowing with authentic charm, this characterful cottage in the heart of the North York Moors National Park is the perfect accommodation option for small families or groups of friends who really want to escape from it all to surround themselves with Yorkshire’s wild beauty. This quaint cottage is located just 1.5 miles from the village of Glaisdale. There you can check out the lovely Beggar’s Bridge, a picture-perfect historic packhorse bridge built back in 1619; hike along the five-mile circular Glaisdale and Egton Bridge trail; or visit the unique displays at the village’s quirky Museum of Victorian Science, which is jam-packed full of historic scientific apparatus. Alternatively, head into Whitby (11.5 miles) to spend your days exploring its winding cobbled streets and your evenings dining on delicious local seafood in one of the local pubs. Take in the view from the ruins of Whitby Abbey, which is said to have inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula, or head down to the historic harbour to see where Captain James Cook first worked as an apprentice before he set sail to discover Australia. Alternatively, head a little further down the coast and discover the wild beauty of Robin Hood's Bay (18.5 miles) - a picturesque old fishing village on the heritage coast of the North York Moors. There you can stroll along the sandy beach, go fossil-hunting, or simply enjoy a pint or two in one of its atmospheric pubs.
Step inside and make yourself at home by the wood burner in the lounge. When it’s time for dinner, head to the kitchen/diner – you’ll find everything you need to whip up and serve a fabulous meal for your loved ones. Up on the first floor you’ll discover two lovely bedrooms – one double and one twin with bunk beds. A smart family bathroom completes the layout of this charming, compact cottage.
Outside, you’ll find a wonderful, enclosed garden with a lawn, patio, BBQ and garden furniture. The views across the dales and moors from here are just incredible.
