And for the railway children, a regular steam train hooting through the countryside.
A private drive leads you from the main gates to private parking for at least 2 cars (further car parking available free of charge). And of course, there is the hot tub to relax in whilst soaking up to the views. An electric car charger is available on request.

Super King - The room has large windows to the front overlooking the garden and beautiful views of the surrounding area. There is a wardrobe, dressing table .

There is natural daylight with blinds that are tailor made with beautiful Laura Ashley fabrics.
King: The second room is a set king bed (cannot twin). The room has a wardrobe, dressing table and floor to ceiling windows to attract plenty of natural daylight. Views are the same of the super king room, overlooking the pretty garden and views beyond. The room benefits a separate dressing room area with desk. There is a ensuite bathroom again with bath and hand held shower as well as overhead monsoon shower and glass screen. Bedrooms have tailor made Laura Ashley blinds.
Exterior:
French windows from the open plan sitting room lead onto the patio home to a dining set to make outside dining easy. Down one small step onto a large lawn area perfect for children and dogs to run around. a perfect space to play the garden games available. Pretty established boarders and shrubbery and a well kept summer mown lawn. Views of the cottage's private 3 acre field (dogs allowed) merge into views which reach over 50 miles. At the front of the garden there is a raised decking area with sit soft sofas and a table - a perfect place for morning croissants and coffee whilst stoking up the hot tub. From here you can dip straight into the hot tub via a small walkway. Views are incredible from this part of the garden.
Oh and don't forget the ponies - Clemmie and co who love to see and be petted by our guests.
Walking
Walks are in abundance and plenty with a local pub to stop for lunch. Lots of local rivers to walk by, 2 or 3 mile loop walks or jogs if you are feeling energetic right from the doorstep. If you fancy a pleasure train journey (dogs allowed) then pop down the road to Finghall train station (around 5 min walk from the cottage). You may even be lucky enough to catch the steam train which toots its way through the fields.
Village pub
2 pubs in walking distance and both allow dogs in certain areas. Good places for children to play and the Queens Head in the Village is fab for food!
Local Towns and Villages
The local pretty towns of Bedale and Leyburn are only 5 miles (plenty of choice for takeaway food and shops) and if you are needing a film fix then Empire is only a 10 minute drive to Catterick where you will also find Tesco, Next, a large Boots, Domino's pizza and a fantastic modern and clean Nuffield leisure centre which hosts lots of classes, 3 swimming pool and gym. Northallerton (easy 20 mins) is a favourite which is home to Betty's Tea rooms, Lakeland Kitchen shop, Crew clothing and Pizza Express to name a few. You can also park your car there for the day for approx. £4.50 and get the regular train to York (tickets are around £8 in advance).
