This charming stone-built barn is the perfect rural retreat for a couple or solo traveller on the glorious North Yorkshire coast. With one or two canine companions welcome to join you and the option to add a unique ''shepherd''s hut'' room to your stay, no member of the family will miss out on the holiday adventure.

With thick stone walls and exposed wooden beams overhead, the rustic heritage of this inviting home is clear to see. The open-plan living space is the heart of the house, with a well-equipped kitchen/diner and comfortable sofa seating arranged in front of a warming wood burner that''s sure to be popular with four-legged friends. Outside is a small private patio with a table and chairs facing far-reaching countryside views, the perfect spot for your morning coffee. There is also access to a 4-acre paddock where Fido can let off some steam. After a day of discovery, take a relaxing soak in the bathroom''s tub before climbing the stairs to the mezzanine bedroom that overlooks the living area. There is also the option to add a wonderful self-contained shepherd''s hut to your booking, complete with its own kitchenette, shower room and a double bed that looks out through a glass wall onto the beautiful fields and rolling hills beyond. There is a games room on-site, and the owners host special events and offer guided walks of the area.

The gorgeous fishing village of Staithes is 1.5 miles away with its picture-perfect cobbled streets, characterful fishermen’s cottages and dog-friendly pubs. Here the Yorkshire moors meet the coastline, creating dramatic cliff-top scenery that’s sure to get tails wagging. Head to picturesque Staithes Beach, where four-legged friends are welcome year-round or strike out along the Cleveland Way towards Runswick Bay (3 miles) for spectacular sea views and walkies of a lifetime.

The cottage is in a great location for access to beautiful beaches along the coast all a few minutes drive away. The 3-4 cottages are tightly packed together around the shared games room, and adjacent to the owners property on a very quiet long narrow single track road. The setting feels remote but not private. The meadow opposite is lovely, and thRead moreere are plenty of footpaths to explore. The enclosed garden of Catkin cottage is a small courtyard with a low wall, overlooked by other gardens and the road. Hide

I would absolutely recommend staying in one of these cottages - The owner is extremely polite, friendly and welcoming. We were treated like royalty and the cottage was clean tidy & very comfortable (Especially the bed). It is is a very quaint little area with just the right amount of amenities on your doorstep but far enough away from any Hussle & Read morebustle. Hide
