About this property
This delightful, stone-built, detached cottage is set in the heart of the beautiful countryside of the North York Moors, in Glaisdale village. In an elevated position, this traditional property provides a cosy and welcoming base for families and friends to tour, cycle or walk through the magnificent heather-clad hills. Oozing charm and character, there are exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and crooked niches, with two warming woodburners to relax by after an active day. There is a classic, well-equipped country kitchen, with a separate dining room and a comfortable, spacious sitting room with a splendid stone feature fireplace housing the woodburning stove. Upstairs, the two pretty bedrooms and the family shower room, overlook the surrounding moorland with extensive views. With bespoke enhancements throughout, the cottage provides a wonderful ambience. French doors from the dining room give access to the rear patio and garden, with a luxurious canopied hot tub to enjoy, whilst admiring the panoramic views. A few minutes’ walk brings you to the local shops, whilst the pub lies a mile down the hill, serving real ales and good food. Glaisdale is in a superb location, with the River Esk meandering through it and an excellent network of public footpaths and quiet country routes. With Whitby just a few minutes’ drive and the coast beckoning, this is an ideal family holiday spot.
A peaceful village on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, Glaisdale is set amongst beautiful countryside in the heart of the Esk Valley. The village itself has a post office in the general store, an excellent butcher (famed for his pork pies) and one hotel/pub, with restaurant. Further afield, Whitby and the coast are just 9 miles away whilst the quaint moorland villages of Hutton-le-Hole, Lastingham and Thornton Dale and the market town of Pickering are all within easy touring distance. For something a little quieter, why not take a trip to the less-discover gem of Saltburn by the Sea, a charming, Victorian seaside resort. The terminus of the North York Moors Railway is at nearby Grosmont, inviting you to take a steam railway ride back in history through beautiful moorland scenery.

Laura
The hot tub was divine at the end of the day. The only negative was the shower takes a while to warm up. But that comes with the territory of an old cottage. Rosie the owner is lovely, and had thought of everything for us and our stay. We would definitely stay again

There were 2 adults and dog. Enough room for us. Welcome supplies in the fridge a bonus especially the bottle of fizz. I managed with the âbe patientâ shower for hot water. Out of Rosieâs control due to location I believe. Straight out of cottage and onto the moor. Hot tub was lovely to relax in especially after a long walk. Enjoyable week away from everyday life. Thank you Rosie

Inside, the ground floor is perfect. Cosy main room with comfy sofas, large fire, good furniture. Rosie clearly likes hearts. We counted 41 in this room alone ! Good kitchen with everything and more one could expect. And another (dinning?) room we never used. Unfortunately the much smaller 1st floor is not so good. 2 tiny bedrooms and a tiny bathroom is silly. Enough room for 1 reasonable sized bedroom and a bathroom? We used the twin room as a dressing room. Could never recommend as a 2 couples cottage. Getting in a hot tub in a hot tub at the end of a winter's day out is of course always sublime. The garden is ideal for a dog. Would we stay again ? Inside the cottage - definitely Yes. But it was just too isolated, meaning getting in the car every day. Loads of good walks around, but none close enough to set off directly from the cottage.
