A beautiful, terraced cottage with plenty of character providing a home away from home in the village of Brompton, which boasts a friendly pub, shop and walks from the doorstep.

Explore the North York Moors from this exquisite cottage in the leafy village of Brompton, just 5.5 miles from the fringes of the national park and Osmotherley. Looking out towards the 12th-century village church, and with a popular pub that is known for its home-cooked meals, Brompton is also just 2 miles (30 minute walk) from the vibrant town of Northallerton which holds a bi-weekly market where you can stock up on local produce. Sleeping four guests, the inviting, three-bedroom cottage also welcomes two canine companions, making it perfect for those who are seeking to get out and about in picturesque North Yorkshire with the family dog too.


Pack a picnic and step straight out of the front door to wander your beautiful surroundings. Plan day trips to Richmond, 17 miles away, with its Norman castle, cobbled marketplace and access to the glorious Yorkshire Dales. Country houses such as Newby Hall, 24 miles away, and Kiplin Hall, 9.5 miles from the cottage, are also pleasant places to while away an afternoon or you could take in Yorkshire’s finest scenery from the winding Wensleydale Railway, boarding a heritage train at Leeming Bar, 8.5 miles from your base.


Let yourselves into this enchanting, terraced home to find sumptuous accommodation with a wealth of features, such as wooden beams and exposed brickwork. Head straight through to the charming, country-style kitchen/diner to brew a cup of tea to enjoy with some of the delights of your welcome hamper. There’s a superb, range-style electric oven with gas hob and electric oven for cooking up family feasts, as well as a dishwasher to make clearing up easy and a washer/dryer for whizzing through your holiday wear. Pull a chair up to the table to discuss your adventures as you enjoy your delicious meal.


Make your way through to the lounge every evening to stoke up the attractive redwood burner and find something suitable for everyone to enjoy on the Smart TV as the log burner crackles gently in the background. You will find you also have a downstairs WC.


At the end of each day, climb the stairs to either the king-size bedroom, with a generous en-suite bathroom, the gorgeous double bedroom, with a beautiful, antique brass bed or the cosy single room. Those staying in the double and single rooms can wake up to a hot shower in the family shower room.
Spend warm days out in the south-facing courtyard garden at the cottage. Dine here or simply relax with your book and a glass of wine. There is ample on-road parking available.

Wander around the quiet village of Brompton, which was an important centre for linen-making and weaving in the 19th century and is close to the site of the Battle of the Standard between English and Scots armies in 1138.

Osmotherley, 5.5 miles away, is well-known as a starting point for walkers and cyclists. This gorgeous little place offers a true picture-postcard snapshot of beautiful North Yorkshire. It also offers excellent facilities including a cafe, village stores and a fish and chip shop.

Also, take the time to explore the North York Moors, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1987, from Brompton and Osmotherley. With varying landscapes, including lush pastures and leafy woodlands, the western moors play host to grand country houses, atmospheric ruins and handsome market towns, and the views from here are simply stunning, with walks and cycle routes in every direction. Those who love serious hiking or gentle rambling will find themselves within reach of the Cleveland Way, as well as other well-known, picturesque moorland walks, some of which lead all the way to the sea.

The beautiful market town of Helmsley, 24 miles from Brompton, is within driving distance for an afternoon out and is well worth a visit. Here you can spend time at the National Centre for Birds of Prey and Helmsley Castle.
