Surrounded by the peaceful, dramatic scenery of Dalby Forest, this delightful stone-built cottage nestles in the North York Moors National Park, offering nature-immersed accommodation to outdoor-loving couples with the dog in tow. Walkers and cyclists will love the wealth of forest trails all around them, while thrill-seekers will enjoy the property’s proximity to popular Go Ape Dalby (1 mile) where high-wire courses, zipwires and plenty more outdoor pursuits offers days of fun. The North York Moors is an enormous playground for lovers of nature, who are well-placed for discovering the national park’s most scenic trails, popular attractions and charming towns and villages. And with Yorkshire’s golden coastline within reach, guests can choose to switch their countryside getaway to a coastal one, enjoying daytrips to the likes of Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay, and Scarborough (all within 25 miles).
Take a moment to soak in your gorgeous surroundings of dense forest and tweeting wildlife before stepping into the warm embrace of this delightful, one-storey cottage. Be greeted by the social heart of the home, the open-plan living space that combines the lounge, kitchen and diner. Natural light pours through the windows here that frame views of the surrounding greenery, making it easy to unwind and embrace nature. After days of adventure, take a break on the sofa, flicking on the Smart TV to catch up on your favourite series. When stomachs begin to rumble, head over to the well-appointed kitchen and find all you need to cook up a romantic feast for two. The chosen chef can also keep entertained thanks to another wall-mounted Smart TV. Enjoy your meals at the cute wooden dining table indoors, or head outside to dine alfresco if the weather is kind. At the end of each evening, retreat to the sumptuous king-size bedroom for a well-deserved night’s sleep, and wake to the sound of local wildlife and the sight of peaceful trees. Start each day with a soak in the well-equipped en-suite shower room with its spacious walk-in shower.
