  • Gorgeous escape to a former Police Station with a little nod to its history in the quirky accessories throughout, situated in Great Ayton with covered bubbling hot tub and private courtyard

Escape to the outskirts of the wonderfully scenic North York Moors National Park for a rural retreat with loved ones. Welcoming four-legged friends too, head out for days full of adventure before returning back to the village for a yummy bite to eat or a home-cooked meal. Fill hungry tummies then soak the night away in the hot tub whilst furry friends roam the outdoor space in search of holiday scents.

Greeted by contemporary charm, step inside this property and make the most of all it has to offer. The open-plan living space consists of a cosy lounge, sleek kitchen and charming dining arrangement where two sets of patio doors bring the outside in and create a bright ambience. Rustle up a storm and dine either inside or out, or make a warming cup of tea to enjoy in front of the TV on the welcoming corner sofa. Come rain or shine, while away evenings in the sheltered hot tub and bubble away the aches and pains of muscles which have spent the day exploring. As the night draws in, say goodnight to canine companions and sidle off to enjoy a comfortable sleep in one of two bedrooms. One bedroom is on the ground floor with access to a modern bathroom and the other is on the first floor and is treated to an en-suite shower room.

Head into the local village of Great Ayton to enjoy a plethora of walks and hikes; climb Roseberry Topping for spectacular views and pass Captain Cook’s Monument on the way as canine companions stretch their legs. Work up an appetite then devour a portion of tasty fish and chips on your way home. 4.5 miles from home lies the charming market town of Stokesley where you can also hop on the Cleveland Way.

Great location for exploring the area. Great Ayton is a lovely village with lots to offer, some super coffee shops within walking distance from the cottage. Cottage was ok for 2 of us, would have been a bit tight for 4 people.

The Old Police House was everything we hoped for - comfortable, beautifully refurbished, secure for the dogs, and very conveniently located to enjoy the amenities of Great Ayton and the surrounding area. Many thanks, Laura and Josh, for a memorable holiday - we would love to come back.

Very nice house in a lovely village with good food options (Indian takeaway is good). The house was clean, comfortable and to a high standard. The gated private parking is secure and the hot tub a bonus. Area is great for walking especially with Roseberry Topping just an hour to the 'summit' from the front door. A great base for the beach and town Read moreexcursions. Welcome goodies in the house were much appreciated. Highly recommend. Hide

The cottage was great, suited our family of 4 very well, it was lovely and clean, the beds were very comfortable. It was lovely having the hot tub heated and ready whenever you wanted to use it. The location was great, easy access to the Moors, beach and surrounding towns and villages. Great Ayton is a lovely village with pubs, cafes and shops, butRead more still maintained a lovely village feel. I would highly recommend staying at the old police station. Hide
