About this property
Tucked away in the popular village of Goathland, Whitby, North Yorkshire, is this stunning five-bedroom holiday home, Englefield. Boasting a superb location within the North York Moors National Park, and a contemporary interior finished to the highest standard, Englefield ensures all a group or large family of eleven could need on their getaway to North Yorkshire. Upon your arrival, you will find private off-road parking for three cars, before unloading your bags and stepping into your new abode. Step into the double height hallway, where on your left you will find the first of five immaculate bedrooms, a super-king-size, and to your right an additional super-king-size with zip/link and a daybed, and a twin room, all of which are served by a beautifully-appointed bathroom, perfect for indulging in a soothing soak after a day of hiking through the moors. The ground floor also features a cloakroom, so there is no need to worry about those morning queues. Continue through to the large kitchen, with skylight windows allowing the natural light to flow in, here you can look forward to impressing your guests with mouth-watering meals, ready to enjoy at the dining table for 11 as you toast to your luxury home from home. On warmer days, why not enjoy your meals out in the generous rear garden, with plenty of seating for 11 guests, barbecue, and far-reaching views out to the fields? As the evening grows darker, retire to the generous sitting room, where you can fire up the alluring woodburning stove and gather your loved ones for a family film night on the TV. Completing the ground floor is a utility/boot room, housing a washing machine and tumble dryer for your convenience. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you will find two additional king size bedrooms, both as impressive as the others, with contemporary furnishings and plenty of storage, with both benefitting from their own en-suite, one with spa bath and the other with walk-in shower, so you can choose how best to prepare for the day ahead in style. Explore your surroundings, where right on your doorstep you will find two well-stocked convenience stores, including the Aidensfield Stores, made famous by its appearance on the TV series of Heartbeat. You will also find the two welcoming pubs of The Goathland and Inn on the Moor, where you can treat your loved ones to a well-deserved meal and a night off from the kitchen, as well as Goathland Tea Rooms for when you fancy a sweet treat! Take advantage of your exceptional location, which offers a wide variety of scenic walking and cycling trails right from the door, including up to the tranquil waterfall sights of Mallyan Spout and Beck Hole. Within just a short walk, you can also enjoy the delights of the Mallyan Spout Hotel and The Homestead Kitchen. If you came for the sights and scenery but not the walks, the heritage North Yorkshire Moors Railway can be found just moment’s away, where you can sit back and relax as you soak up the views for miles and miles. Film buffs may even recognise the station from its appearance in the first Harry Potter films as Hogsmeade Station. For a day along the coast, make the drive or catch the train over to Whitby, where you can climb the 199 Steps with panoramic views at their top, marvel at the Gothic Whitby Abbey, spend a day bathing or beachcombing the shores of Whitby Beach, hook your catch of the day along West Pier, delve into history at the museums of Whitby and Captain Cook Memorial, or enjoy the fun-filled Dracula Experience. For a truly memorable day out, why not hop aboard a boat to go whale watching? From here you can follow The Cinder Track down to Scarborough, home to the delights of Alpamare and Luna Park, Scarborough Castle, Peasholm Park and Scarborough Open Air Theatre. Keen walkers and cyclists can also join the scenic 109-mile Cleveland Way, ensuring you visit all the key destinations in the North York Moors National Park. Add a touch of luxury to your North Yorkshire getaway with a stay at Englefield.
Set in the North York Moors National Park, the quaint settlement is located just north of the North York Moors Railway. It is surrounded by the rugged open moorlands which provide excellent walking country and on which sheep graze freely. The television show Heartbeat made the hamlet well-known. The North York Moors Steam Railway station is located at the foot of the settlement. Take a train to Whitby or Pickering and enjoy the scenery as the carriage meanders across the moors.
With Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hood's Bay, and Scarborough all within reasonable driving distance, Goathland is an ideal location for a family vacation.
