Stay at this gorgeous end-of-terrace stone cottage village of Ampleforth for a relaxing break in the tranquil North Yorkshire. This two-bedroom property blends characterful touches such as traditional beams with stylish, modern comforts, creating a warm and welcoming space that’s perfect for couples or small families. You’ll be ideally placed for exploring some of the region’s most treasured attractions: step back in time at the atmospheric ruins of Byland Abbey (2.5 miles), wander the charming streets of nearby Helmsley (5.5 miles), or admire the impressive architecture of Ripon Cathedral (22 miles). Absorb the lively atmosphere at Ripon Market Square, filled with independent shops, cafés and markets on Thursdays and Sundays. Head to the stunning landscapes of the Nidderdale National Landscape (24 miles) to spend long days outdoors, walking or simply soaking up nature. Venture into historic York (22 miles) to admire the famous minster and wander the narrow medieval streets of the Shambles, pausing to browse in the shops or dine out.

On arrival, step through the front door directly into the cosy sitting room and sink into the plush sofa after days out in the hills. It has characterful ceiling beams and a wood burner for cosy evenings in front of the Smart TV. At the rear of the cottage, the kitchen and dining area is bright and welcoming, with dual-aspect windows letting in plenty of natural light. This sociable space is ideal for slow breakfasts before heading out for the day or relaxed dinners when you’re all walked out. A door from here opens straight onto the courtyard. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms: a king-size at the front of the house, with elegant sash windows and a stylish wood-panelled feature wall with wall lights, along with a double overlooking the courtyard at the rear. Completing the first floor is a lovely shower room.

Outside, the cottage has a charming walled courtyard garden furnished with a bistro-style table and chairs – a lovely spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of something refreshing after a day exploring the North York Moors. There is free on-street parking nearby, subject to availability.
