Property code: OC-WA244

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.

It should be made clear that the access road to the field should not used by a saloon car as mine became stuck and only when a local farmer assisted me could i park in the gravel layby which was mentioned in the informationm sheet in the cottage, but not prior to arriving.

Lovely stay in a great location to explore the North Yorkshire moors. The dogs loved the garden space and it was very secure. The dogs also liked sitting and watching the sheep.

The cottage is situated in a fairly remote, very quiet area with beautiful surroundings. The living room is a good size but the rest of the cottage is extremely small) It is within easy driving distance of the major tourist spots, some of the drives are a little challenging but very scenic. I would suggest the cottage is suitable for 2 adults onlRead morey (max 3 if one wishes to sleep in a bunk bed) and not children due to the stairs and general size, and not suitable for those with mobility issues for the same reason and the very steep slope that needs to be walked up from the parking place. There were a lot of cobwebs and facilities are adequate but basic. A suitable base for travelling for days out. Dogs liked the enclosed garden although it was smaller than it looked in the listing.

The location of this property was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our walks up Glaisdale Rigg with our dog along a multitude of footpaths and bridleways. It was a convenient base for visits to the coast, York and rest of the moors. The property itself was good downstairs for the four of us and comfortable in the lounge.

Also there was next to no space to hang wet towels and coats. Hide

The location is amazing but perhaps more warning about the parking is needed at the time of booking, rather than in the folder on site.

Love holiday home set in the Yorkshire moors with the most beautiful views. Surrounded by countryside and farm animals, and very peaceful. Whitby is just about 20 minutes drive where you can get everything you need, and is a great place to explore too. Is a great place for exploring the Yorkshire moors and surrounding areas. Comfy and clean and Read moredog friendly too. Hide

We loved the location of the cottage, the valley is beautiful, peaceful with wildlife to see. The garden is an afternoon sun trap, it was nice to sit out and listen to the birds. The kitchen was lacking a few items, such as a potato peeler, pizza cutter, decent knives and a large colander.
