About this property

This delightful detached cottage is situated in the owner’s grounds in a peaceful location on the edge of Castleton village, nestling in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Beautifully furnished throughout, this property offers an ideal romantic retreat for couples looking to explore the surrounding countryside by walking, cycling or touring, with easy access to the Heritage Coast. The property is accessed via a flight of steps and on entering into the spacious open plan living area you will immediately notice the stunning views over the valley where there is even a handy window seat to sit with a morning coffee as you look out over the views. The property has wonderful tongue and groove wooden cladding throughout, adding to its cosy, character feel. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a delicious meal which you can enjoy together around the dining table. Afterwards snuggle up with your loved one in front of the warming woodburning stove and chat over your plans for the following day. There is a comfortable well-appointed king-size double bedroom and a modern shower room. On sunny evenings step out onto the patio and relax with a refreshing drink as you soak up the superb countryside views. Castleton village is a few minutes’ walk away with its traditional inns, shops and a quaint tea room. Pull on your hiking boots and explore the myriad of public footpaths, quiet lanes and cycle routes whilst taking in the breathtaking scenery. For train enthusiasts a trip on the North York Moors Steam Railway at Grosmont is not to be missed, as it winds its way through the heather clad moors to Pickering. A little further afield is the wonderful Heritage Coast with its seaside towns and villages, as well as some lovely beaches. Spend a day in Saltburn with its renowned cliff lift, long pier and beach, or visit Whitby where you can climb the 199 steps to its famous Abbey, take a boat trip or relax with an ice-cream. At the end of a busy day, return to this excellent cottage to relax and unwind.

The picturesque village of Castleton nestles in the beautiful Esk Valley, in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Surrounded by stunning scenery, this bustling village offers superb amenities including two pubs, both serving great food, a village shop, a convenience store, a Post Office, tea rooms and a small art gallery. There is a railway station serving the Esk Valley and Whitby, which also links with the steam line to the attractive market town of Pickering. The Camphill Village Trust community of Botton is nearby, with its craft workshops and shops selling home produced food, craft items and books. The historic city of York is just over an hour away, and the coastal towns and villages of Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hood's Bay and Sandsend with its lovely beach, are within easy driving distance, and well worth a visit.
