A gorgeous stone retreat, nestled in scenic countryside close to Glaisdale, 12.5 miles from Whitby, this enticing cottage is perfect for exploring the North York Moors National Park, in which it sits. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom, dog-friendly holiday home has a wood burner for cosy nights in and a garden for soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the views. Pick up the Esk Valley Walk, a route of almost 40 miles that follows the River Esk from its source on the North York Moors to the coast at Whitby. Plan trips to the coast too, where you can walk out along the clifftops from Whitby or spend time on the town’s beach or in the town’s shops and restaurants.
Open the front door and step in to find an inviting, open-plan, beamed lounge/kitchen/diner at ground-floor level. Light the wood burner in here on chilly days and relax together after your energetic walks or cycle rides. Find everything you need in the kitchen area to help you prepare meals with your own ingredients then sit down to tasty meals, before watching TV or listening to the radio. Make your way up the steep, cottage-style stairs to the first floor to indulge in a good night’s sleep in either the double bedroom or the bunk bedroom. The family bathroom is up here too.
Bask in the sunshine of the lawned garden during the spring and summer months. Light the BBQ on warm evenings and dine at the picnic table in tranquillity.
