Property code: OC-91049

Immerse yourselves in this intimate cottage in the North Yorkshire countryside. Peacefully tucked away, this stylish property is the perfect base for couples and their furry friend to escape for wild walks and relaxing nights by the toasty wood burner.

Return home to this 16th-century cottage after adventures in Dalby Forest. Putting a contemporary twist on traditional style, exposed wooden beams, deep windowsills and an original fireplace set the scene for an ultra-cosy yet unique stay. Pop on your snuggliest slippers and unwind in front of the wood burner with a glass of wine and your favourite pup at your feet. Cook up delicious dinners for hounds and humans in the stylish kitchen and serve at the dining table, or, on warmer evenings, take your plates outdoors to enjoy the enclosed garden while Rover basks in the sunshine. When it's time to retire, you will find two restful bedrooms upstairs, each with distinctive styles.

The market town of Kirkbymoorside is just half a mile away and has a few popular dog-friendly pubs with fabulous dishes and tipples on tap. Energetic canines and their owners have many magical trails to try out in the national park (2 miles), and it is also perfect for those with a keen eye for nature and wildlife. For even more captivating countryside, pasture fields, scenic villages and country houses, the Howardian Hills (5.5 miles) Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is well worth a visit. Take in the intricate artwork by stopping by Helmsley (5 miles), another market town renowned for its galleries, boutique shops and artisan delis.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bee Cottage, it's quaint and quirky. Bed was really comfortable, shower was good. Great to have a secure garden for our dog to enjoy. Property is literally a couple of minutes walk from shops and pubs, and some good dog walking too. Lots to do within a short drive, Helmsley Walled garden, Castle Howard and the YorkRead moreshire Arboretum, Ryedale Folk Museum and not too far from the coast. Kirkbymoorside is a very nice and friendly place to stay. Hide

We liked Bee cottage and its quirky character. The slightly uneven stairs and flooring (in the original part of the cottage) took a little time to adjust too, but we got used to it by the second day and I only banged my head on the low beam, once.
