Escape to this stylish cottage, which formerly housed horses and horse drawn carriages, in Raskelf, a quaint village in North Yorkshire. A characterful and tastefully furnished property, it is perfect for friends and families. Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this cottage offers superb walking opportunities, with a wide network of public footpaths. Just over 2 miles away, the lovely Georgian market town of Easingwold has a wide, cobbled market square, lined with an array of quality shops, cafes and traditional inns offering fine dining. Visit the nearby city of York (15 miles) and tour the National Railway Museum, Jorvik Viking Centre and the spectacular Minster or walk the medieval city walls for a unique view of this wonderful city. With the pretty country towns of Helmsley (14 miles), Thirsk (9 miles) and Hovingham (13 miles) close by and attractions such as Rievaulx Abbey and Castle Howard to enjoy, this is a splendid base for a relaxing romantic holiday. Enter the cottage into the light filled hallway, where you can hang up your coats and kick off your shoes. Head into the open plan living space with exposed timber beams and high pitched ceilings; this is the perfect place to relax with your family and is the hub of the cottage. Create home cooked meals in the generously equipped kitchen and dine at the table before kicking back and relaxing on the sofa, watching a movie on the Smart TV. The cottage provides a good selection of board games, perfect for family games nights. At the end of the night, make your way to one of the two bedrooms for a good night's rest. There is a family room with a double bed with a single bunk with its own en suite shower room, while the other bedroom features a king size bed and another en suite shower room, complete with fluffy towels. Enjoy family time together on the private patio, light up a BBQ and dine alfresco.
