Overview
Property code: 78054

Beautiful recently renovated cottage with everything you need along with the luxury of your own private hot tub.

Immerse yourselves in the natural beauty and tranquillity of the Yorkshire countryside in this gorgeous cottage in the quiet village of Normanby. This is the ideal rural retreat for friends/families who want to spend quality time together in a beautifully-presented, recently refurbished property. Situated just south of the North York Moors National Park, you are well-placed to explore its heather-clad hills and attractive market towns/villages. With walks on your doorstep and a pub and shop within a few hundred metres, you don’t even need to get in the car, but should you want to, there are plenty of attractions/places of interest nearby. After a busy day exploring, head home for a soak in the hot tub and a spot of star-gazing as you enjoy a glass of wine.

 

Sympathetically renovated, the owners of this Grade II-listed property have paid exquisite attention to detail to ensure original features blend effortlessly with contemporary fixtures and fittings. Statement pieces of furniture and bold patterns and colours add interest and character, whilst creating a homely feel throughout.

 

On entering, the first room you come to is the wonderful, contemporary-cottage style kitchen/diner. As well as being stylish, it is also well-equipped to ensure you can cook up a storm for you and your guests before sitting down at the industrial style dining table and chairs to eat together. Across the hall, the large lounge is perfect for socialising. Exposed beams and a brick fireplace add charm, whilst the deep sofas are so inviting that you’ll want to snuggle up in front of the wood burner and enjoy a film together on the TV (with Sky TV including Sky Cinema and Sports). Completing the ground floor is a single bedroom.

 

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms: a king-size zip-and-link, which can be made up as a twin on request, and a king-size. Again, both bedrooms have sophisticated and stylish decor, whilst vaulted ceilings add to the sense of light and space. Completing the accommodation is a luxurious bathroom with a free-standing bath and separate shower and second bathroom on the ground floor with shower and WC.

 

Outside, there is a stunning, walled patio area with dining furniture, making it perfect for al fresco dining. After dinner, jump into the private hot tub and soothe your aching legs. There is ample off-road parking for two cars, one small and one large.

  • 3 bedrooms – Ground floor single bedroom and first floor has 1 king-size zip-and-link (which can be made into a twin on request), 1 king-size

Normanby is located within easy reach of many towns and villages, such as the pretty town of Kirkbymoorside (4.5 miles). On the edge of the North York Moors, it has much to offer including a gallery, antique shops, tea rooms, deli, wine shop and butchers. There's also a great market on Wednesdays. Beyond the town lies the North York Moors. A landscape like no other, it's a place of gently rolling hills of heather, ancient woodlands and lazy rivers winding through lush green valleys. If you want to get away from it all take a trip to the top of the high central moorlands. The famous Blakey Ridge (12.5 miles) affords some of the best views in the country and, if walking is your thing, you are surrounded on all sides by some truly stunning routes.

Vibrant and attractive Yorkshire market towns, Pickering and Helmsley are also within 10 miles. Pickering is perfect for a relaxing wander around its pretty houses, shops and tearooms. Grand Georgian architecture stands alongside cosy traditional cottages to create a picture-postcard location with several excellent restaurants, pubs and cafes in the town. The wonderful North York Moors Railway starts in Pickering where you can catch a steam train to Whitby and back again through some of the most picturesque countryside in Yorkshire. The beautiful market town of Helmsley is well worth a visit for its great restaurants, cafes and delis. If you fancy a little pampering, you'll also find a fantastic day spa here.

Normanby is also within easy reach of the North Yorkshire Coast, with the popular resort of Scarborough, the gothic town of Whitby and the picture-postcard fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay all within 30 miles.

For family days out, head to theme park and zoo, Flamingo Land, which is 4.5 miles away, or Eden Camp, a fascinating modern history museum, which is 7 miles away. You're also close to Castle Howard (11 miles) and York (26 miles).

The photos and some of the description details for the cottage are very misleading - particularly regarding the downstairs bedroom (very small, only half the size as shown in the photos on the website due to addition of dining room). We thought the cottage was beautifully furnished and styled, and well equipped. The parking was a tight squeeze for Read moretwo cars, prepare to manoeuvre! We enjoyed our stay but unfortunately it was not what we expected in terms of size and space to suit our needs. Hide

This cottage needs photos updated, the third bedroom was a joke more of a cupboard and you feel totally isolated from the rest of your family. We won't be booking here again.

Beautifully decorated cottage giving a wow factor to the holiday. Lovely setting opposite a very pretty church. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding areas, picturesque market towns, and not far to go for fish and chips at Whitby! It was always a pleasure to return to the cottage for a relaxing evening in the hot tub.

The pictures as others have mentioned mislead you to the size and layout. TV is very small.

The cottage is lovely. In a super location and beautifully furnished. For us its a property for 4 people. The pictures are somewhat generous so our expectations were mismanaged lets say?

Note: As the postcode is used to identify the general area of the property, it may not always reflect its precise location, therefore please only use this map as a guide.

With a varied landscape of windswept dales, heather-clad moors and dramatic coast, interspersed with picturesque towns and villages, vibrant cities and a rich historical heritage, Yorkshire is rightly considered one of Britain's premier holiday destinations. Known as 'God's Own County', Yorkshire has nearly one-third of England's National Parkland, two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and three sections of coastline designated as Heritage Coast.

Offering infinite opportunities for lovers of the great outdoors, the wild expanse of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North and West Yorkshire is a glorious mix of awe-inspiring scenery, imposing castles, characterful Dales' villages and drystone walls. While to the east, the North York Moors National Park offers atmospheric moorland, fragrant pine forests and charming towns tucked away within steep-sloped valleys. Extending all the way to the Yorkshire Coast, you can even experience a traditional day at the seaside at popular resorts including Whitby, Flamborough and Scarborough. It's a beautiful terrain to explore.

A visit to the historical city of York is a must. Renowned for its medieval architecture, the magnificent York Minster and a myriad of museums, independent shops and exceptional eateries, you will not be disappointed. Then there's the chalk landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds, known to have inspired David Hockney. And with a packed calendar of events and festivals each year, including the Malton Food Festival, the Tour de Yorkshire and the Great Yorkshire Show, there's always something exciting to enjoy.

Our holiday cottages in Yorkshire are handpicked to ensure a luxurious and uniquely memorable experience. From dog-friendly cottages in the country to large family houses by the sea and romantic retreats in the city, we have a holiday in Yorkshire to suit everyone.
