Property code: 94728

Conveniently located in the centre of Thirsk town centre, this is a great base to explore Yorkshire’s Herriot country. You’ll be located just a short walk from the traditional Yorkshire market town of Thirsk where you will find an array of shops, pubs and restaurants along with a splash of local history at The World of James Herriot Museum. The surrounding area is not short of gentle strolls, challenging walks or cycle routes with stunning scenery through dales or moorland. Neither is it short of visitor attractions and theme parks with Eden Camp modern history museum, Flamingo Land and Lightwater Valley and many heritage sites nearby. Spend a day in Ripon Cathedral town (12 miles) or in the opposite direction, head along the A170 stopping off at Helmsley (15 miles) to meander through the town and visit the castle or keep going to Pickering and take a ride on the heritage North York Moors Steam railway.

This cosy bolthole is the perfect base for couples seeking to explore the plethora of places to visit in North Yorkshire. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by an inviting open-plan living space that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comforts. The kitchen is generously equipped with everything you need to rustle up a hearty breakfast or a romantic dinner. Dine together at the table whilst reminiscing your day out and planning your next one. After dinner, get comfortable on the large sofa and snuggle up together under a cosy blanket to watch a movie on the Smart TV, then when it's time to retire, head into the bedroom where your king-size bed awaits. Wake yourself up with a refreshing shower in the shower room just off the living room.
On warm summer nights, take some glasses and some fizz out to your private courtyard and raise a toast to your Yorkshire getaway, while dinner cooks on the BBQ.

We like this accommodation so much we keep returning and that says it all. It is modern and comfortable and very well equipped. The location is brilliant, being so central, literally just round the corner from the Herriot museum. The owners are friendly, helpful and very approachable if you need anything. We are hoping to be back soon.

The property was in right in the heart of Thirsk and so close to walk to all the amenities you would need. It was also great to have a dedicated parking space. There is nothing more annoying than trying to fine somewhere to park when you've had a great day out.

Lovely clean and modern little place. Great location to visit best places in North Yorkshire. Herriot museum in Thirsk really good. Helmsley and North Allerton worth a visit.

Very clean and well kept cottage.Parking in allocated space could possibly be made easier for larger cars and old drivers by cutting the bushes back more. Otherwise could not fault anything.

This is a beautiful and very well equipped property in a wonderful location just round the corner from The Herriott museum. Parking in front of the accommodation is ideal and there is a lovely courtyard garden to sit in. There is a lot of attention to detail and the owners have gone to a lot of trouble and expense to make the accommodation perfect.Read more We will be back. We highly recommend staying here. Hide
