About this property

Nestled at the foot of the North York Moors National Park and overlooking the rolling Howardian Hills National Landscape, Ampleforth is a wonderfully charming and well-served village, ideal for a relaxing countryside escape. Despite its peaceful setting, the village offers excellent amenities, including a local shop with a post office, two welcoming public houses, and a coffee shop. Renowned for its historic college and attractive surroundings, Ampleforth is a haven for walkers, cyclists and lovers of the great outdoors, with the popular market towns of Easingwold (9.5 miles) and Helmsley (5.5 miles) just a short drive away and a convenient rail connection at Thirsk, approximately 12 miles to the west, providing easy access for further exploration.

Designed with comfort and quality in mind, this premium self-catering cottage offers everything you need for a relaxed and memorable stay in the countryside. The high-spec, open-plan kitchen and dining area is superbly equipped with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, hob, oven, microwave and kettle, and is a true highlight of the home, boasting outstanding 180-degree open rural views that create a spectacular backdrop for both everyday meals and leisurely dining. The inviting living space is perfect for unwinding with a television and high-speed internet after a day exploring the area. The cottage sleeps up to seven or eight guests with the use of an additional temporary bed and offers three beautifully presented bedrooms comprising a luxurious super-king-size bedroom, a further double room and a twin room, with the cosy downstairs snug providing flexible additional sleeping if required. Two stylish bathrooms ensure comfort for all, including a downstairs shower room with walk-in power shower and a spacious family bathroom featuring both a bath and a walk-in shower, completing this elegant and welcoming holiday retreat.

Surrounding the cottage is an exceptional outdoor setting that invites you to fully embrace the beauty of the countryside, with incredible open views from every angle and vast space to relax and unwind. To the rear of the house lies a generous lawned garden framed by mature planting, offering a peaceful and private backdrop, while two thoughtfully positioned terraced seating areas provide the perfect spots for entertaining, enjoying al fresco dining or making the most of the BBQ on warm summer evenings. With ample room to roam and access to a small paddock beyond, the outdoor areas offer a wonderful sense of freedom and connection to the surrounding landscape, making it an idyllic setting for long, leisurely days spent outdoors.
