Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Normanby, North Yorkshire

Embark on a romantic retreat to this charming Grade II-listed cottage which boasts a blissful hot tub for two, set in a pretty, private garden filled with greenery. Located in Normanby, you'll find a wide array of walking trails from your doorstep, with the national park just 2 miles away, as well as the North York Moors Railway which offers a serene way to see the sights in comfort. Having been renovated to a high standard, you can expect touches of luxury in each and every room.

As you step inside, you'll be welcomed into the living room which has a warming wood burner, a lovely large sofa for you to sprawl out on, and a cosy-yet-quirky style. Next door, the character continues into the kitchen which has been cleverly designed to maximise the space and ensure you have everything you need to be able to cook up a storm at breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's even a breakfast bar for your morning coffee.

Completing the floor is the contemporary shower room. The king-size bed can be found on the first floor beneath a vaulted ceiling surrounded by hand-picked pieces of feature furniture which elevate the room. The garden can be accessed via the kitchen, where you'll find a selection of areas to sit, be it on the comfortable outdoor sofas or the patio-style dining table.

Beneath a canopy is the two-person hot tub, ideally positioned to make the most of the garden views where you can enjoy a long soak at all times of the day. For an action-packed day out, pay a visit to Dalby Forest (18 miles) and you can enjoy treetop adventures, a segway experience, mountain biking and more. For a taste of the coast, take a trip to Scarborough (23 miles) where you can walk the coast path, relax on the beach and visit the iconic castle.
