Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 5 - Thornton-le-Dale, North Yorkshire

Set on the outskirts of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, this quaint cottage offers a serene retreat for friends or family, surrounded by picturesque countryside brimming with rural charm. The stone walls hide a stylish interior where a crackling wood burner warms the cosy lounge, and outside, a pretty garden invites al fresco dining moments. Enter the spacious kitchen/diner, equipped with everything you need to prepare a delicious home-cooked meal, then gather around the dining table to savour your creations while reflecting on the day's adventures.

After dinner, retire to the lounge, where the wood burner sets the scene for cosy nights in. Light the fire, sink into the sofa, and unwind while watching a film on the Smart TV. Additionally, a convenient utility/boot room on the ground floor offers ample space for outdoor gear, and adjacent is a shower room.

Climb the staircase to discover a single bedroom, while another staircase leads to two further bedrooms; a king-size and a super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be configured as a twin upon request). Completing the first floor is a tiled family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower. Step outside to the fully enclosed country cottage garden with colourful flowerbeds.

Relax at the garden table and chairs, perfect for al fresco dining or enjoying your morning coffee. Bike storage is available. 2 miles east of Pickering, the delightful village of Thornton-Le-Dale awaits within the spectacular North York Moors National Park and the Dalby Forest.

This picturesque setting is a haven for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts alike. Nearby attractions include the family-friendly Flamingo Land Resort, the historic landmark of Pickering Castle, and the bustling market towns of Helmsley, Malton, and Pickering, all within 15 miles of home.
