North Road Cottage is in Hackforth. It's a stone semi-detached place. We finished the renovation in 2022, so everything's fresh and works properly. It's got a 5 Star rating, which means it's well-equipped and comfortable.
It sleeps six. Three bedrooms, one bathroom, plus a downstairs loo. The main bedroom has its own shower. The third bedroom has twin beds. The stairs are typical for a cottage, so they turn a bit and aren't the widest.
The kitchen is new and gets good light. There's a separate dining room and a living room with a wood burner. The garden is enclosed with a patio area. It looks out over fields. You can sometimes see deer from Hornby Castle in the parkland behind.
You can walk straight from the door into the countryside. Bedale is about four miles away for shops and pubs. You're on the edge of Wensleydale, so you're well placed for the Yorkshire Dales. Leyburn, Richmond, and Masham are all within a 30 minute drive.
For days out, Thorp Perrow Arboretum is nearby. The Forbidden Corner at Tupgill Park is popular if you've got kids. There's plenty of history close by too, like Fountains Abbey and Richmond Castle.
Facilities: there's a washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi, and parking. Bedding and towels are included. We can provide a cot and highchair. One well-behaved dog is welcome. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, but do note the stairs inside are cottage stairs.
