    A wonderful quirky cottage with a balance of modern fittings and traditional decor. Amazing for dog owners with Mud Daddy at back door in case you have mucky paws. A fully enclosed rear garden too so you can relax.

The neighbourhood surrounding this area is truly exceptional, being surrounded by three areas of outstanding natural beauty, including the North Yorkshire Moors, Yorkshire Dales and Howardian Hills. This means that residents and visitors alike have access to breathtaking landscapes, stunning views and endless opportunities for outdoor activities such as walks and cycling. The Cleveland Way and Coast to Coast trails are also close by, providing even more opportunities for exploration. Not only is the neighbourhood surrounded by natural beauty, but it also boasts proximity to the medieval city of York, a true gem of British history and culture. The spa town of Harrogate is also nearby, offering a wealth of relaxation and wellness options. There are several charming market towns located in the area, including Helmsley, Northallerton, Thirsk and Yarm, Stokesley. Each town has its own unique character and charm, and they are all great places to visit for a taste of local culture, shopping and dining. Richmond is another notable attraction in the area, with its impressive castle, fascinating museum and stunning waterfall. Bettys tearooms, which can be found in Northallerton, York and Harlow Carr RHS, are also a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. For those who love the coast, the neighbourhood is also within easy reach of Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hoods Bay, all of which are charming coastal towns with their own unique character and attractions. For family fun, Flamingo Land and Eden Camp are both popular attractions, while the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway in Pickering offers a delightful way to explore the area by steam train. Overall, the neighbourhood is a true haven for nature lovers, history buffs, foodies and families alike. With so much to see and do, it's no wonder this area is a popular destination for visitors from all over the world.
