Property code: OC-WA224

Immerse yourself in Yorkshire life with a stay in the chocolate box village of Aislaby, spending time with your loved ones in this unrivalled holiday cottage with luxury interiors. Situated in the heart of the North York Moors, you’ll never be short of routes to explore within a short walk of the property. Plot a hiking route around Glaisdale (6 miles), Egton Bridge (4.5 miles) and Grosmont (4.5 miles) to admire the spectacular scenery of the Esk Valley or jump on your bike for the chance to cycle a portion of the 150-mile Moor to Sea Cycle Network that the National Park is well-known for. Spend time in Whitby (3.5 miles) or Robin Hood’s Bay (8 miles) to get your fix of sand and sea.

Enter the property to find a small area for leaving coats and shoes before venturing downstairs to the lower ground floor. While the owners have lovingly updated the place, it’s clear that the original charm of this 16th-century cottage has been both respected and maintained. The open-plan lounge/diner boasts stunning original beams, exposed brickwork and travertine tiling, along with underfloor heating and a wood burner. Spend time listening to music, watching TV or enjoying a great meal together right here. Step through into the adjacent farmhouse-style kitchen with an impressive Belfast sink. The property continues onto the first floor and boasts two bedrooms: a pretty double with feature fireplace and a compact twin. A slipper bath in the final family bathroom is an additional treat.

Watch village life go by from the patio space at the front of the property, complete with a bistro set for enjoying your morning coffee and a breath of fresh air.

On the whole, the cottage was superb. The layout was fantastic, all of the rooms were well sized and easily heated and all of the amenities were exactly what was needed too. The cottage was clean and tidy and just felt like home as soon as you walk through the door.

An excellent, cosy and comfortable cottage, with good quality feel to it. The village is lovely with a good pub and brilliant walks on the doorstep. The local church was also very welcoming to me when I attended the Sunday service.

A well appointed and comfortable cottage. The only drawback is the location of the boiler in a cupboard in the main bedroom, which can disrupt sleep because it is programmed to operate at night.

Comfortable cottage, tastefully furnished and well equipped. Very near to Whitby with a regular bus service (bus stop only 75 yards away). Great view across the valley from the bedroom windows. Stairs a little tricky- lots of varying heights from very shallow to normal height risers to deeper risers.

An absolutely wonderful cottage, it was well equipped and clean, the beds were comfy and the wood burner, plentiful window seats and comfy sofas invited rest and relaxation (very quiet neighbours also). It was ideally suited to exploring the surrounding area. The local pub was fab, with delicious food and friendly staff. Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, aRead morend the Grosmont to Beck Hole (circular walk) were highlights during our stay. Hide
