Appreciate a slower pace of life in the North York Moors National Park, a dramatic holiday destination that’s surrounded by rural delights. The Goathland scenery that engulfs this place is simply outstanding, and you can hike or drive to an endless number of beauty spots to sightsee and spot wildlife. When your daily excursions are done, this loveable country cottage is always ready to welcome you home. The property, which sleeps six guests and is pet-friendly, has been lovingly laid out with a traditional cottage aesthetic, offering a restful base for groups of family or friends.

This stone cottage features plenty of original design elements inside, including a stone fireplace, wooden beams and floral textures that hark back to a simpler time. There’s a warming wood burner by the table in the dining room, creating a cosy spot for breakfasts on cool winter mornings, and an additional open fire can be found in the lounge, alongside a TV for those snug nights in. When the sun shines, open the French doors to enjoy direct access to the garden – a large, grassy space with outdoor seating and room for children to play. Back inside, the three bedrooms offer a warm, snuggly night’s sleep no matter what weather you’re served with, and a family bathroom and downstairs WC complete the property’s offering. There’s private parking for one car.

TV and film lovers will adore wandering down into Goathland (0.5 miles), the filming location for TV’s Heartbeat and Hogsmeade Station in the Harry Potter series. If literature is more your thing, then make your way to Whitby (9.5 miles). Home to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, this coastal town is filled with gothic history and fascinating lore. Visit the ancient Whitby Abbey or take a Dracula tour through town to discover more.
