About this property
A dog friendly hideaway with country walks from the doorstep, Church Farm is well-placed for families looking to explore the North York Moors and the East Coast. Tucked away in the quiet village of Wilton, this hideaway is ideally located near to popular destinations such as; Thornton le Dale, the location for the television series Bangers and Cash; Pickering, where you can hop on the North York Moors Railway; and, of course, Yorkshire's glorious coastline, home to the seaside towns Scarborough, Whitby and Filey.
Generously spacious, the well-equipped farmhouse kitchen features a stylish dining area with ample room to enjoy any meal. In the comfortable sitting room, the cosy wood burner is perfect for curling up in front of after a busy da, or relax and unwind with a good book or a morning coffee in the delightful conservatory. This 18th century stone-built farmhouse sleeps up to six guests in three delightful, larger than average bedrooms (a super-king, and two king-size beds) boasting spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Each of thee rooms benefits from having access to the modern shower room.
Outside, the front garden is lawned and bordered by mature flower beds, with access to the side garden and patio area. Through the garden gate you'll discover outdoor seating six guests. If you prefer exploring on two wheels, secure bike storage available in the garage. Church View makes and ideal base and is never too far from somewhere special to explore. We recommend a visit to Hutton le Hole; a chocolate box village that is home to the Ryedale folk museum, great walks, pub grub, and a stream for paddling in.

Excellent house in fantastic location for touring about. The house was spacious and well equipped and the welcome pack was exceptional! There is a farm shop nearby with an honesty box for fresh eggs and while we were there the chippie van came up the street! lol I would recommend this property to everyone!!

Gorgeous cottage. The friendly host Fiona left firewood and delicious home-made scones, cream and jam with tea/milk, etc. - all appreciated. Kitchen had everything we needed (other than scissors. One extra bin bag and some multipurpose cleaner would also be good additions). The cottage was mostly really clean with only minor missed bits - crumbs in the cutlery drawer, the odd dirty glass or fork and I didn’t use the washing machine as it had hair in the door. Bathrooms and bedrooms immaculate though and had comfy beds, lots of super soft towels and lovely bedding. The stunning bedrooms have great views and the little village is peaceful (one firework display was manageable - avoiding them was our reason for seeking peace for a week). The plumbing does make a noise constantly which is a tad annoying especially through the night. But overall a great cottage in a fab location for Pickering, Thornton and the coast.

Lovely cottage with gorgeous views and sunsets. The home is quirky and unspoiled - everything works well (shower, dishwasher, washing machine etc) but it has a really relaxed charm about it. Quiet little village in very easy distance of Thornton Le Dale and only 30 mins to Scarborough. Two adults, two young children, we loved it and hope to come again
