Settle in for a romantic getaway with your other half and two beloved canine companions in this elegant and traditional cottage with exposed stone walls, a vaulted wooden-beamed ceiling and a tempting free-standing, roll-top bath. Soak up your countryside surroundings while staying in a charming North Yorkshire village close to the North York Moors National Park. You’ll also have historical attractions, quaint English towns, and the coast within reach.

As you enter the property, you’ll feel the welcoming and homely atmosphere created by the bright open-plan layout and rustic farmhouse-style design. Wooden furnishings and tones of red, grey and white fill the space while a dual-aspect wood burner sits inside the exposed stone feature wall which separates the bedroom from the lounge area. Large glass doors allow plenty of natural light to fill the space and offer countryside views. To one side of the room is a neat white and black fitted kitchen and a wooden dining table. The wooden-beamed vaulted ceiling continues throughout the lounge/kitchen/diner into the chic king-size bedroom with a metal bed frame and a free-standing bath. Completing the interior is an en-suite wet room. Outside you’ll find a patio area with furniture and a firepit BBQ.

Start your day with a stroll along the river while staying in Normanby village where you’ll also find a traditional local pub (within 0.5 miles). Head into the nearby town of Pickering (8.5 miles) to find an array of eateries, shops and the dramatic ruins of 13th-century Pickering Castle. Explore the North York Moors National Park and sniff out the historic Cawthorn Roman Camp, Ana Cross, and North Yorkshire Moors Railway in Levisham (all within 16.5 miles). Also within reach is the Howardian Hills National Landscape (14 miles) and the seaside town of Scarborough (26 miles).

We had the most lovely time staying at Sunset Barn Normanby. We felt very much at home and could have wanted for more. Location was good for days out to Yorkshire seaside towns or a short distance from the beautiful Castle Howard. I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting a relaxing break.

A lovely converted barn in a quiet location on the edge of the village. The welcome hamper is a nice touch especially after a long drive.

What a gem! Tucked away on a working farm with plenty of space for a couple and their dog, this is a great retreat for exploring the Howardian Hills to the west, North Yorkshire moors to the north and Scarborough/Filey to the east. At night we enjoyed the amazing stars, as part of 'Yorkshire's Dark skies', whilst set against the comforting heat of Read morethe log burner. The owners couldn't be more hospitable and the welcome pack of fresh bread, eggs from their hens as well as treats for us and pooch were much appreciated. Hide

Nice conversion and tastefully decorated. Well equipped with everything that could be needed, including torches to light the way to and from the pub, which served good and plentiful food, and only a 10 minute walk away. Warm welcome from the owner. Quiet location but near to many places worth visiting.
