Luxury accommodation for families and couples. Nestled between the North York...

River Oak is a wonderful newly built property set in the delightful little village of Rainton, which is ideal for families and friends wanting that special house in a fantastic location for your unique holiday. The property has a modern contemporary feel with no expense spared by the owners. This has to be a ’one off’ property in this area, there are not many houses that sleep eight guests in four bedrooms that have so much space for everyone. Entrance is gained into the hallway flowing through to the spacious living area with comfortable sofas and a large Smart TV, giving a great place to snuggle up on those colder evenings with a glass or two of red wine. The designer kitchen/dining room features all the usual mod cons and is fully equipped for all your culinary needs. If cooking is not part of the holiday plan then there are many eateries close by that you can choose from. All four bedrooms have luxury bed linen aiding a perfect night’s sleep, meaning you are fully energised for the next day’s adventure. In addition, the master bedroom on the second floor offers en-suite facilities. On the first floor is a beautiful bathroom complete with a shower over the bath should you wish to have a long soak.
River Oak has abundance of walks and cycle routes straight from your doorstep, there is much to do for the outdoor enthusiast. Situated just 4½ miles from the quaint market town of Thirsk, with its 15th-century church, original cinema, and renowned racecourse. The cobbled market square hosts a twice weekly market and is surrounded by individual shops, traditional inns and tea rooms. Alf Wight, the well-known vet and author of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ lived here and the ‘World of James Herriot’ visitor centre gives a fascinating insight into the working life of this famous vet.
River Oak provides a perfect base from which to explore the wider area too, with the Yorkshire Dales National Park to the west and the North York Moors to the east. Places of interest include Sutton Bank, the beautiful cathedral city of Ripon, Castle Howard, Fountains Abbey and Aysgarth Falls. Families enjoy hours of fun at Lightwater Valley, the Forbidden Corner and Flamingo Land which are all within easy reach by car. The coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey are all easily accessible and regular trains run from Thirsk to the ancient walled city of York. If you didn’t want to venture from the area there is a perfect 18th-century pub within walking distance from the property, serving fresh, locally sourced homecooked meals and a variety of local ales. Locations don’t get much more perfect than River Oak, the only issue you will have is fitting everything in so why not book a few extra days?
