Angram Cottage

The kitchen has everything you need to rustle up tasty suppers using the wonderful Yorkshire ingredients you can find in local farm shops and delis, we have local vineyards too if you fancy a glass of Yorkshire wine! The practicalities are taken care of too with a Stoves oven and hob, dishwasher, full size fridge freezer and a washer/dryer.

Open to the kitchen and living space, the dining area looks out to the terrace and the countryside beyond, on warmer days throw open the French doors and bring the outside in, perfect for leisurely breakfasts. The perfect start to a day in Yorkshire, what could be better.

Set on the ground floor this beautiful bedroom enjoys views out across the countryside. With a large super king bed or the option of twin beds, adorned with the finest linens, the softest pillows and sumptuous duvet, it is the perfect place for a restful nights sleep. The en-suite has a bath too, just what you need for a leisurely soak to relax any aching muscles after a day spent exploring the North York Moors.

Set on the first floor, this is a spacious room, filled with light. A gloriously cosy king bed takes centre stage, the Velux windows are perfect for stargazing, the North York Moors is a designated International Dark Sky Reserve, home to some of the darkest skies in the UK. The luxurious en-suite includes a walk in shower for an invigorating start to the day.

Through the french doors there is a lovely little terrace furnished with a table and chairs for al fresco dining or catching the sunset with a glass of something nicely chilled on summer evenings. The grounds along the approach to the cottage extend along a babbling brook with woodland and wildlife all around.

From Angram Cottage you can explore both The Howardian Hills and also the neighbouring North York Moors National Park. Both offer excellent walking routes for seasoned ramblers and those looking for a more sedate meander alike. It’s also a perfect place for a cycling holiday with miles upon miles of perfect climbs and descents awaiting your discovery with jaw-dropping views to make the climbs worth the burn!

There are many historical attractions nearby including the majestic Castle Howard,  the ecclesiastical ruins of Rievaulx Abbey and Byland Abbey and a castle in the attractive market town of Helmsley.

Being just 20 miles north of the City of York you are also perfectly placed to head into the City to experience the culture of the Minster, museums, galleries and the ancient City walls. Or if your passion is food you’ll find many excellent independent bars and restaurants to discover!

York is a city brimming with history and culture. Take a walk along the castle walls and marvel at the view below, or head to York Minster for some truly jaw dropping architecture and follow that with a wander around the cobbled streets with beautiful architecture to admire and independent boutiques to peruse.
