Ideal for families, couples and for those looking for a base for your outdoor activities or quiet getaway in the famously picturesque Yorkshire village of Thornton-le-Dale and North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
Stone Cottage is a beautifully cosy, original 18th century cottage with stunning period features such as open fire place and exposed 200 year old oak roof beams combined with up-to-date furnishings and amenities, including a brand new Sony LED 4K TV with Google chromecast, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, and very cosy HIVE heating system. Set on the quiet Westgate lane with plenty of on-street parking, and direct walking access to Thornton Village shops and pubs. Recently re-furnished, the airy rooms benefit from modern furniture that provides a contemporary yet homely environment. Family friendly, the house is also ideal for couples or larger groups. Included is all bedding and towels for the double bedroom and a twin room, as well as pull-out floor mattress (suitable for children or teenagers) in the twin room, with bedding available (please just ask :-)). The Master bedroom has an incredibly comfortable memory foam mattress and black-out curtains as your holiday sleep is very important. There is a family bathroom with bath and shower. A travel cot is available with bedding and a high chair just let us know if you'd like the cot setting up for your arrival. Make your stay relaxing rather than a chore with all the modern facilities including dish-washer, wifi, large screen TV, google chrome-cast, bluetooth speaker, Roberts DAB radio/bluetooth in kitchen, washing machine, tumble-dryer and even a high spec BBQ with outdoor dining furniture.
ACTIVITIES
With Dalby Forest just up the road Stone Cottage is ideal as your base for outdoor activities whether that be strolling through the village and picturesque lanes, hiking on the moors or in the forest, heading to the sea-side (just 30 minutes drive), family cycling on the quiet bridleways up-to and around Dalby forest or serious mountain biking on the famous purpose-built Dalby forest MTB Trails. Bridleways and footpaths lead from Thornton-le-dale right into the heart of Dalby Forest without having to use the main roads (just head for Ellerburn and then follow signs for the campsite).
The Beck (stream) as shown in the images is just 1/4 mile from the cottage and is lined by some of the most pristine thatched cottages and gardens in Yorkshire. Myself and our children have spent many summer hours paddling and playing in the water and relaxing in the sunshine. There is even a duck pond in the village to feed the ducks.
