  • Situated on the skirts of the North York Moors National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • Enjoy countryside walking through lush pastures, ancient woodlands and picturesque rivers
  • Unwind in the hot tub after a long day of exploring the area
  • Generous accommodation tastefully furnished for families or friends
  • Enjoy the convenience of a welcoming local pub within walking distance
  • Visit the bustling cobbled streets in the market town of Stokesley, with a market every Friday
Property code: OC-77667

This wonderful property, located just 3 miles outside of the Yorkshire market town of Stokesley, is ideal for a large family or group of friends – including up to two dogs. Sleeping six across three beautiful bedrooms, each with their own colour palette, this property is an opportunity to take time away from busy life and enjoy the stunning North Yorkshire countryside. A private hot tub and games room keep you busy but when the pups want a walk you can choose from coastal locations like Staithes (27 miles) or the North York Moors. Try the 3.5-mile circular walk through Osmotherley (9 miles) and Mount Grace Priory.

The country home, which is one of two properties on the same complex, is spacious and comfortable. The open-plan living area is bright and airy with a fabulous mix of traditional and contemporary furnishings; sink into the sofas in the lounge area in front of the Smart TV or cook up a storm in the kitchen and eat at the rustic dining table among calming tones of blue and white. At bedtime, head upstairs to rest your weary head; wake up among soft creams and pink tones and throw open the French doors to enjoy your morning coffee looking out from the Juliet balcony.

Make sure you take a trip to Guisborough Forest (8.5 miles) where there are activities for all the family; go for a stroll with the hound on a sculpture trail or try your hand and climbing or archery. Cleveland Way National Trail (19 miles) follows a horseshoe-shaped line around the North York Moors National Park and has lots of habitats to explore. If you crave some hustle and bustle, pop to Middlesbrough (11.5 miles), where you’ll find plenty of dog-friendly shops, cafes and pubs along the River Tees.

Nice christmassy smell on entrance, and hamper containing aldi crisps and a bottle of Prosecco... these are low quality and nit befitting of a 500 per night stay !!! Bathroom smelled of bleach on arrival which was good, and these were clean. However, elsewhere, windows were dirty and general fabric was tatty and tired... scuffs everywhere, curtainsRead more not hung right and hot tube aged and not cared for.. filter cover broken and filter very old and grey.. suspect not working effective.

Thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the cottage, quiet area but stokesley was only down the road for shops and Middlesbrough can be reach in 20 minutes or so. A picturesque drive gets you to Whitby and the coast which is great. If you are there for a walking holiday lordstones is overlooking the cottage and a 10 minute or so drive but leads to aRead more walk into the moors if you desire. The hot tub is a nice way to relax after being out all day. Hide

The cottage was ideal for our needs - family of four with two young teenagers, plus two grandparents - for a long weekend. The games room and hot tub were particularly well appreciated by adults and teenagers alike. It is attractive, warm and well-furnished, but (these days!) a dishwasher would have been very welcome as the sets of six plates and cRead moreups, and eight bowls, were soon used up. Hide
