In the quiet village of Middlesmoor, with views overlooking the Gouthwaite Reservoir, this charming home offers a quintessential English country escape amongst lush greenery of the Yorkshire dales. It's often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and that's certainly the case here – you'll have everything you need to cook delicious dinners for the whole family. For a laid-back lunch, there's nothing better than a barbecue – pick up some local produce and get grilling in the garden. The picnic bench offers a comfortable spot to enjoy the fresh air, whether you're tucking into a meal or simply reading a book with a good cup of coffee. With the Yorkshire Moores practically on your doorstep, adventure seekers will have plenty of hiking trails and cycling paths to keep them entertained, but if you find yourself craving a taste of city life, jump in the car and take a drive out to the sophisticated spa town of Harrogate for a day of shopping and sightseeing.
