Only a couple of miles from the astonishing views enjoyed from Sutton Bank, this charming stone-built cottage is a rural getaway for a small group of friends or family with two dogs for company. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the North York Moors National Park and with iconic market towns and period attractions within easy reach, it is a convenient base for walkers, cyclists, foodies and history lovers alike. Renovated and presented to a high standard, this cottage has spacious and welcoming living areas both inside and out, including a large garden where dogs can play from dawn until dusk.

The ground floor hallway leads to a cosy lounge, sure to be a popular place for snoozing dogs and sharing drinks at the end of a busy day. Many a family favourite can be prepared in the spacious kitchen and devoured in the adjoining dining room with a sloping glass roof that lets in plenty of natural light. A family bathroom and three bedrooms are found off the first-floor hallway: two well-appointed double bedrooms, one of them en-suite, and a twin room with a traditional feature fireplace. The large patio area is perfect for al fresco dining on hazy summer days, the adjoining lawn area a place for family games where the dogs take centre stage.

Take some refreshment in Wass (100 metres) after time spent exploring the ruins of Byland Abbey (0.5 miles) or the bike ride that took in Sutton Bank and the breathtaking views over the Vale of York (4.5 miles). Helmsley (6 miles), Thirsk (10 miles) and Malton (18.5 miles) are an absolute must for lovers of Yorkshire produce, with plenty of dog-friendly amenities around their respective market squares, with dogs welcome in the grounds of Helmsley Castle.

Lovely cottage, very clean, well equipped and opposite a pub serving great food. Convenient for many attractions and interesting walks. The garden was particularly useful for late night dog tiddles rather than walk the streets (many without pavements). The owner was very responsive when there was a minor issue.

Delightful property and responsive helpful owner. Our family shared a wonderful week there. Beautiful countryside and local wildlife. Ideal for running, walking and cycling. The garden apples were the best I ve ever tasted too.

We had a very comfortable and happy stay at Melrose Cottage. We had everything we needed in the Cottage and thought the Welcome goodies were particularly good. We enjoyed exploring the area and the cottage gave easy access to lots of things to do.

The cottage was excellent in every respect, and included little touches such as the welcome basket, the board games and books, we had a lovely holiday.
