Ideally located midway between two stunning National Parks, the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, this charming property offers comfortable and spacious accommodation for groups looking to explore the sights and scenery of North Yorkshire, as well as being a good base for keen walkers and cyclists. The house sleeps eight people across four bedrooms, and you'll find plenty of space both inside and out, including a large garden room, games room, and access to an additional three acres of paddock and fields. All ages will enjoy a home from home stay here. A warm and welcoming property, the decor throughout is elegant and full of traditional country charm, and comes with the thoughtful bonus feature of heated flagstone flooring. The open-plan kitchen/diner is the true hub of the house where everyone will naturally gather. The kitchen has its own breakfast bar and TV, perfect for a snack, and the long garden room is a beautiful setting for a special sit-down meal together, with views of the garden. There's also soft seating at one end, the perfect after-dinner snug. Play your favourite music with the iPod dock and choose from the selection of board games for a night of competitive fun and laughter. For even more fun, younger guests will love having their own space in the games room, where brightly-coloured beanbags and a TV with DVD and PlayStation await, while the wood burner and deep sofas of the lounge create a peaceful and relaxing environment for whiling away a companionable evening. After a hot soak in the bath or shower, head to one of the four bedrooms, all individually decorated in bright colours with pretty soft furnishings. Spend your mornings outside when the sun shines, enjoying the sprawling outdoor space. Breakfast alfresco on the sheltered patio, while children burn off their extra energy on the lawn and paddock. For lazy afternoons, the miniature terrace is a lovely spot for a refreshing drink and a BBQ. If you're planning to bring bikes, store them in the secure garage, and there's off-road parking for four cars.
