Property code: OC-82542

Explore both coast and countryside at this fabulously welcoming cottage which exudes style. Spacious rooms cater for six guests and with two of your four-pawed pals invited too, fill your days with family-friendly adventures at the likes of dog-friendly Cayton Beach (9.5 miles) before settling down in the enclosed garden or cosying up by the roaring wood burner.

A useful, heated coat cupboard is perfect for leaving coats and leads soggy from adventures, before making your way through to the hub of the home. Though minimal, the style which flows throughout is warming and inviting and creates a tranquil ambience in which to spend time. In the kitchen diner there is ample worktop space for preparing feasts to be served up at the table. Natural light floods inside through the patio doors which lead down a step to the Mediterranean-style patio garden with a pond (can be covered on request) and outdoor seating. After dinner, step down to the lounge and bask in the heat from the wood burner with your four-pawed pal sprawled out at your feet. Three lovely bedrooms await on the first floor, one of which has a small double bed perfect for younger guests. There is off-road parking for two cars.

Spend time paddling in the ocean and racing about the race. Cayton Beach (9.5 miles) is great for surfing and welcomes dogs all year round whilst South Bay at Scarborough (10.5 miles) has restrictions in place. The local village of Snainton is home to a couple of pubs where you can tuck into tasty treats if you fancy a night off from the kitchen.

We visited for a week in June; 3 humans and 2 dogs. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable with a seating areas in the lounge and kitchen. The courtyard garden enjoyed sunshine into the evening and was a lovely private sun trap on sunny evenings. There is plenty of grass space around the cottage and our dogs were very happy. We arrivRead moreed to a generous welcome pack including prosecco, crisps, cookies, milk and teabags. There were also treats for the dogs which was very thoughtful. So many places to explore and visit from the cottage and many wonderful farm shops and butchers. From beaches to coastal paths to pretty towns and forests this is an area and cottage Id highly recommend recommend. Hide

A very well appointed cottage but as it was dog friendly it would have been helpful to have a bit of grass for them! Otherwise it was a comfortable home from home with thoughtful touches and tasteful furnishings. It is in a convenient area near the sea , forest and good walks. Malton is nearby which is a foodie paradise.
