Set in the gorgeous North York Moors National Park, this thoughtfully converted barn proves that taking your dog on holiday doesn’t mean you need to miss out on luxury. Boasting charming features and contemporary furnishings throughout, this welcoming home is perfect for a family of four and their canine companion. With greenery and fantastic scenery all around, this is the ideal base for walkers and lovers of the outdoors.

The former barn’s exposed stone walls and wooden beams charm guests on entry, as does the open-plan living space that houses a kitchen, dining space and comfortable lounge. The kitchen offers all you need to make this a home from home, including a social breakfast bar to gather around at the start and end of each day. Move through to the cosy lounge that boasts a wood burner and TV, as well as a glass coffee table – the perfect spot to settle in with a cuppa. The entire living space benefits from underfloor heating, meaning you can stay warm and cosy at whatever time of year you visit. Adjacent to the living space are the two bedrooms that ooze character with their tall ceilings, stone walls and wooden beams. The king-size bedroom has a Smart TV and an en-suite bathroom, while the double bedroom also has a Smart TV and plenty of space to relax in. A separate shower room with a WC is also provided. Outside is a courtyard garden compete with outside dining facilities so you can dine under the morning sun or night sky with your furry friend curled up at your feet.

The North York Moors National Park attracts walkers and families throughout the year, so guests in this cottage are spoiled for outside adventures from their doorstep. For some family fun, visit the quaint hamlet of Fangdale Beck just a mile away to discover the popular alpaca farm that your little ones will love. Slightly further afield is the market town of Helmsley (ten miles) that plays host to dog-friendly pubs and an imposing castle where dogs are also welcome on leads. The historical Ingleby Incline just 11 miles away offers a moderately challenging walk with rewarding views from the top.

Broomstick Cottage is part of former farm buildings located on an attractive working farm with happy chickens, ducks and cats wandering about. The overall conversion is excellent; a really interesting piece of architecture. The cottage is stylishly decorated and equipped to a very high standard with a full range of appliances. The cottage is veryRead more light, with floor to ceiling windows and a great view of the farm pond with lovely plants and lots of animals. We really enjoyed staying here. Our hosts were welcoming and discreet, we would love to come back. Hide

Came for a quiet relaxing break away from everything. This cottage delivered. Comfortable, well equipped, great location and no phone signal. Perfect. And, when we did fancy rejoining the world, Helmsley was an easy 15 minute run down the road. Response from Holidaycottages - Property does have Wi-Fi calling if necessary

What a beautiful property, lovely location and position! Just an idea I would have focused on, the name the "witches" cottage I would play on that image much more and create a unique selling point, just keept it simple and subtle.
