The open plan living space is well laid out with comfy sofas by the log fire and views out to the fields beyond, perfect for relaxing after a day spent exploring the Moors and all that the area has to offer.

The kitchen is well appointed, it will impress the most discerning of cooks, being open to the dining space makes it good for chatting about the day’s adventures while cooking up a tasty supper or preparing a hearty breakfast while planning a ramble across the fields.

In the spacious, comfortable bedroom, the super king size bed can be converted into two singles if you prefer. This pretty room enjoys lovely views out to the private garden. You will also find little Hendrick himself, nestled by the window, he is such a cutie!

The cottage is surrounded by spectacular countryside, there is a private garden with garden furniture just for you and there’s a firepit in the meadow, the perfect spot for a sundowner.

For history enthusiasts, the historic city of York is only a 40-minute drive away.

Helmsley, the only market town in the North York Moors National Park, is just 8 miles away, Malton is a similar distance and is fast gaining a reputation as the food capital of the North. Pickering is just over 5 miles, a small town with restaurants, supermarket and many independent shops.  While a little further afield is the North Yorkshire coast and seaside towns of Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington.
