Glebe Farm Cottage is a wonderfully converted 1850s farmhouse with a fabulous garden, patio and barbecue area where you can sit out and relax after a day spent exploring this fantastic North Yorkshire location. The living/dining room has a welcoming wood burner, and the spacious second living room has an open fire. The large country kitchen is equipped with all mod cons, as well as a homely Aga . The cottage lies on an arable farm and is surrounded by miles of unspoilt countryside, yet is just 8 miles from the bustling market town of Northallerton and prospering town of Yarm. There are fantastic countryside views in all directions, and if you fancy pampering yourself, there is an exclusive spa behind the cottage set back in the grounds .
