About this property
Set in the picture-postcard village of Thornton-le-Dale, this traditional stone cottage welcomes families and groups of friends seeking an idyllic break at the heart of the North York Moors. Sleeping up to five guests in two bedrooms and welcoming two playful pups, this atmospheric property is the ideal place to relax and unwind after days spent wandering over the moors and discovering market towns and pretty villages.
Behind the beautiful stone facade lies a cosy and welcoming property that’s bursting with character. Wooden beams, feature fireplaces, and antique-style furniture are complemented by relaxed, rural decor. Get snug in the lounge, post-adventures, to review your pictures or watch a little TV, open fire burning on chilly days. The country-style kitchen is spacious and well-equipped for cooking up a storm with a large Rangemaster oven. There’s a breakfast table here for casual meals, a formal dining room overlooking the garden, or a picnic table if you prefer to dine alfresco. On beautiful days, make use of the sun deck or spend evenings bubbling under the stars in the hot tub (available at an extra cost). When it’s time to rest your head, you’ll find two bedrooms upstairs, a double plus a triple room with a king-size zip-and-link bed and an additional single, offering flexible accommodation. A family bathroom plus an en-suite bathroom takes care of all practicalities.
Famous as the location for a chocolate-box thatched cottage that’s appeared on countless calendars, Thornton-le-Dale is a popular base for visitors to the moors with shops, restaurants and tearooms. Strike out from the village to walk part of the White Rose Way, a long-distance trail between Leeds and Scarborough that passes through town. Alternatively, head to Dalby Forest (10 miles) to amble picturesque trails and cycle routes. The market town of Pickering is just 2.5 miles with its historic buildings and heritage railway line.
