Accommodation details

Sitting in the heart of the sleepy village of Thornton-Le-Dale and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this luxurious stone property blends the tranquillity of its surroundings with all the convenience of countryside pubs and cosy cafes. Sleeping five people over three bedrooms, this two-storey home is perfect for families or groups of friends who want to escape to relax and reconnect in North Yorkshire.

During the day, enjoy peaceful strolls in the stunning Dalby Forest before returning home to relax with a glass of wine on the cottage’s pretty patio.

Head to the bright open-plan kitchen/dining area to whip up a group feast and gather everyone to eat at the sturdy dining table. After dinner, head to the snug to listen to music while you warm your toes in front of the glowing wood burner, and when the day is done, head upstairs to find three elegant bedrooms – a master bedroom with a king-size bed, a chic twin and a handy single.

To complete the layout, you’ll find a large family bathroom with a lavish tub and a walk-in monsoon shower. Outside, a tranquil and enclosed garden space invites al fresco meals on balmy evenings using the outdoor furniture and BBQ that await.

Check out the thrilling rides and head to the zoo to visit the tigers, lions, giraffes, penguins and sealions - the kids will love it. Alternatively, escape into nature at Dalby Forest (10 miles). This is a beautiful spot for a peaceful hike, and the little ones are sure to love the Gruffalo orienteering course.
