Stable Cottage Thorgill

Stable Cottage is near Thorgill, up on the North York Moors. It's a converted stable building, which is where the name comes from. The main thing here is the view. It looks straight across a valley of moorland. You can see it from the main living room window.

It sleeps five, in three bedrooms. There's a main bedroom with a super kingsize bed and its own ensuite shower room. Then there's a twin room and a single room, and a family bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating, so it's comfortable and well equipped.

Outside, there's a private patio with a hot tub. Beyond that, there's a big open paddock you can use when the weather's good.

There's a wood burner in the living room. The kitchen is a decent size and has a utility room with a washing machine off it. All bedding and towels are included. You can bring up to two dogs.

Rosedale Abbey is about a mile and a half away. It's a small village with a couple of pubs, a shop, and a cafe. The Old Ironstone Railway walk goes around the valley and passes one of the pubs. The area is good for walking and cycling straight from the door.

Dalby Forest is about a 20-minute drive. They have cycle trails and hire, and other activities like zip wires. For a day out, Castle Howard is well worth a visit and is under half an hour away by car.

You can get to the coast in about 30 minutes. Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, and Scarborough are all in reach for a day at the seaside. Pickering is close too, where you can get the North Yorkshire Moors Railway steam train to Whitby.
