Cottage to rent in Helmsley, North Yorkshire

Accommodation details

Take in heather moorlands and sweeping vistas as you approach this rural cottage in the North York Moors. Located on a working farm with spectacular gardens and a river running through, this peaceful holiday destination invites two guests to embrace a slower pace of life and days filled with hikes, bike rides and nature trails.

The property is just 3 miles from the quiet village of Chop Gate, a lovely location at the foothills of the Cleveland Hills (7 miles) with undulating country roads leading up and over scenic hilltops. This Grade II-listed barn conversion has been skilfully crafted from Yorkshire stone and pleasantly renovated to create an entirely updated base for modern holidaymakers.

Spend time in the open-plan living space with a lounge, kitchen and diner set underneath handsome beams and a high ceiling. With underfloor heating and bi-fold doors into the outdoor space, this really is a destination for all seasons. Admire the scenery of the garden or switch on the Smart TV. Just off this room, find a king-size bedroom and an en-suite bathroom to complete the accommodation’s interiors.

The outdoor spaces are shared, offering a courtyard and a wrap-around garden with a lawn and plenty of plants. The national park’s famed walking and hiking route, the Cleveland Way can be found on your doorstep, presenting an easy-to-follow and utterly rewarding route through the North York Moors.

Pretty towns are also within reach, including Stokesley and Helmsley (both 10 miles) with their inviting country pubs, local shops and regular markets. You can reach the coast in less than 35 miles, spending time hunting for fossils on the remote Kettleness Beach (31.5 miles) or embracing a long walk along the clifftop coast route.
