Located in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, this detached cottage in Beck Hole is a wonderful choice for families or friends bringing their four-legged friends along for a rural escape. Sleeping four across two bedrooms and surrounded by open moorland, woodland paths and riverside trails, it puts plenty of walking adventures close to the door.
Inside, the cottage blends traditional character with the contemporary comforts needed after a day out on the moors. A porch provides useful storage for muddy boots, leads and outdoor gear before you head into the lounge, where exposed beams, classic furnishings and a wood burner create a cosy setting for Rover to curl up in front of the fire. The kitchen has everything needed for preparing meals, while the adjoining dining area gives everyone somewhere to gather around the table. The second wood burner adds extra warmth when paws and boots need drying after a damp walk. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom has views across the beck and its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is arranged as a twin. A family shower room completes the accommodation. Outside, a small seating area beside the cottage is handy for a morning coffee while your hound sniffs around, and the front flower beds add a splash of colour. The rear courtyard has a bench for outdoor meals and offers another place to relax with the family after a day pf discovery. A gated driveway provides private parking for two cars.
Goathland, 1 mile away, is a great destination for morning walkies, with its steam railway station famously used as Hogsmeade Station in Harry Potter, along with cafes and the start of the 3.5-mile trail to Grosmont. The area is particularly appealing for hounds who love exploring, with changing scents and varied terrain throughout the surrounding countryside. For a day beside the coast, Whitby is 9.5 miles away, where you can combine a visit to sandy, dog-friendly Tate Hill Beach with a stroll through the atmospheric old town.
