2 Bed in Borrowby (oc-orch4)

Set between the Yorkshire Moors and the Dales, with easy access to York and Harrogate, this charming village cottage, is the perfect base for Yorkshire adventures. Closer to home, the traditional village pub boasts real ales and quiz nights, or explore the market towns of Thirsk and Northallerton, 5 miles, with, independent shops, galleries and fine eateries. For fans of All Creatures Great and Small, visit James Heriot Museum in Thirsk and spot some of the filming locations. Stunning walks are found nearby at Osmotherley. For the sporty, cycle the bike routes at Sutton Bank, or take a dip in the swimming pool at Northallerton or the outdoor pool and sauna at Helmsley. For family days, head to The Forbidden Corner, Fountains Abbey, Thorp Perrow Arboretum, or the seaside resort of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Newby Hall is a real delight with a historic house, beautiful gardens and an outstanding children’s adventure play area.


Before stepping into this charming property, take a moment to savour its rustic stone exterior and the surrounding greenery that sets the scene for a peaceful stay. Head inside to find that the character continues in the form of exposed beams, recessed windows, and original stonework. Uncover chic furnishings, calming hues, and antique touches that add to the charm. The farmhouse-style kitchen is like a page from a country cottage magazine, boasting wooden floors and a roaring wood burner, as well as everything needed for cooking up Yorkshire feasts. A large wooden table here invites the group to gather and plan tomorrow's adventures over dinner. Move through to the restful lounge, where another wood burner invites you to cosy up on the soft furnishings and find your favourite shows on the Smart TV. When it's time to call it a night, two country-style bedrooms await, both offering rural views to wake up to. The ground floor hosts a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and a super-king-size bedroom that can be converted to a twin room on request. Completing the home is a beautiful family bathroom.


The country charm extends to the peaceful outdoor space, where a sun-soaked cottage garden invites you to step outside and unwind together. Gather at the outdoor furniture for al fresco evening tipples and meals, pick fresh herbs and strawberries from the patch, and let the children unwind in the well-appointed shared games barn. On-street parking is available, although it’s best to park in the free village car park, less than 100 metres away.
