A well-presented ground-floor cottage on a self-catering accommodation site in the pretty village of Newton-on-Rawcliffe. The village is on the cusp of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, just 4 miles from the popular town of Pickering. Within the village is a family-run 18th-century inn serving bar food and real ale (check for opening times), surrounded by endless walking and cycling routes over moorland and through woodland. Dalby Forest is 17 miles distant, or head to the coast (22 miles) and the possibility of strolls with gorgeous views or energetic hikes with dramatic scenery.

This is an attractively furnished ground-floor apartment. Other than the single step to get into the barn, there are no further steps. Heading through into the open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen area, the kitchen is fully equipped should you want to rustle up a hearty meal. There is a Smart TV in the lounge area so you can snuggle up on the sofa and watch a film in the evening. There are two bedrooms, a double and a triple bunk room, both with plenty of storage space, and a bathroom next door which has a shower over the bath.

Externally, there is an enclosed garden and you have direct access out to a paved patio with benches where you can dine alfresco. If you fancy a dip in the pool, across the courtyard is a communal pool house with a sauna and hot tub, the perfect way to de-stress.

Very comfortable cottage including a decent bathroom with worktop for toiletries (so many places do not have this so washbag goes on the floor). Secure paved area adjacent and wonderful garden/field to the rear, both loved by our dog.

We stayed in Owl cottage, are a family of five with one dog and the space was great. Two decent size bedrooms, one with a double and another with a double bunk bed. The living area had enough seating for us all and space around a dining table. The biggest appeal for booking was the leisure suite which was really great with separate pool, hot tub anRead mored sauna. We understand that the owners are looking to update the property and we hope the bathroom is top of the list as its desperately needed. Hide

Great place to stay. Dog friendly several walks straight out of the door. Leisure suite great. Even elexa worked in spite of noise from spar. Furniture suite could be better. Apparently new one on order. Old type of hob could do with upgrade with current refurbishment. Overall would go back any time.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was cosy and well equipped. The provision of extra handles in the bathroom was much appreciated. The booklet was full of information about the house and the surrounding area. We enjoyed using the swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. A real treat. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed his freedom in the enclosed garden areaRead more too. Hide
