Property code: 82262

Spacious and well-presented home from home with thoughtful features and enchanting views in this bustling moorland village. Perfect for a group of active friends and families.

Call this charming cottage home and wake up to picture-perfect views of the North Yorkshire countryside. After days enjoying walkies in the Esk Valley and beaching it at Whitby (16 miles), return home to soak up the sun in the south-facing garden or cosy up inside and throw a log on the open fire. Sleeping seven over four bedrooms, treat your pups to a holiday full of new stick-chasing spots and enjoy quality time together.

Steps lead to the front door and into the heart of the home. The open-plan lounge/diner has a pair of perfectly positioned sofas which sit in front of the open fire. With a cosy rug for tufty-pawed guests, settle as a family and enjoy time in front of the Smart TV. If you fancy some peace and quiet or want to avoid being eyed up for treats, head through to the snug where there is further seating and a selection of books. When tummies rumble, set tails wagging in the kitchen and rustle up tasty tit bits in this bright space which has a handy coffee machine for early morning starts and a washer/dryer. A trio of bedrooms reside on the first floor whilst the characterful master king-size is accessed via narrow steps to the second floor and has sloping ceilings. There is off-road parking and bike storage.

Enjoy your location in the village of Danby, which is surrounded by tracks to walk, cycle and scamper. Make the most of the local pub, bakery and shop and keep your cupboards well stocked with local produce. Hop on a well-trodden trail from your door or make the half-mile journey to the Moors National Park Visitor Centre which is a great starting point for many explorations. Treat pups to a day at Whitby West Cliff Beach which lies 14.5 miles away.

Great little cottage in a really nice location. Friendly local pub and bakery/cafe within easy walking distance. Also Danby has a station on the Esk Valley Railway, again within walking distance. Very happy with our stay.

Fabulous quirky cottage. We were made to feel extremely welcome. The cottage was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need. We could walk straight from the door, and Whitby was a short drive with other beaches were even closer. It is a good central location for exploring the surrounding area. The Duke of Wellington pub is a short waRead morelk away, as is the village bakery, both of which are well worth a visit. It was also a perfect base for our daughters wedding at Danby Castle. Hide

We had such a lovely time staying in The Briary, it was a perfect location and we knew about the steep steps before we booked. It is a lovely house, very spacious yet cosy and very well equipped. Fantastic for dogs, with a walk straight out the back door onto the moor. We managed to park opposite the house every time.

Delightful comfortable well equipped quirky cottage in a lovely village. The Danby Bakery and tea room is a must and the Fox and Hoinds pup in the next village worth a visit both establishments serve delicious food.

This is a really special cottage. It has beautifully refurbished and provides everything you could want. It is set in the most spectacular location and it is easy to just sit and be at peace with your surroundings. Probably not so good if you have mobility issues but otherwise a wonderful place to be.

The walk across the Moors to the visitors centre was great and provided lots for the whole family. We took 3 generations with us. The views from the house were beautiful and the house felt cosy. The little touches in the house really made the children feel special- Thank you

What a lovely cottage in a great location with the most beautiful view. At night the moon was glorious. Stayed with my family and our two dogs, we all fell in love with the cottage, Danby and the North Yorkshire moors. We were lucky enough to have a week of perfect weather.
