About this property

Heather Cottage, Gillamoor , Yorkshire

This charming cottage has been lovingly refurbished with care taken to keep its character while offering modern comforts for a fabulous Yorkshire holiday. Situated in the unspoilt village of Gillamoor, Heather Cottage is an excellent base for walking and cycling in the North York Moors National Park.

Step inside to a cosy sitting room with a wood burning stove, leather sofas, exposed beams and the dining area. The pretty kitchen has more exposed beams and is fully equipped for all your self-catering needs and there is a useful downstairs loo. Upstairs, both double bedrooms enjoy their own en-suite with underfloor heating; with flexible accommodation options in bedroom one which has a zip and link bed, offering a choice of twin single beds or a super-king size as required.

Outside, a secluded and picturesque garden is well stocked with mature planting which comes alive during the summer months. A gravelled seating area provides generous and comfortable outdoor furniture to make the most of this charming garden.

The small and unspoilt farming village of Gillamoor is famous for breath-taking panoramic views of Douthwaite Dale and the moor beyond. Perfectly positioned as a base for walking and cycling within the North Yorkshire National Park, with many walks starting from the doorstep! The market town of Kirkbymoorside has a good selection of shops and is only a 3 mile drive or a 1.5 mile walk along a footpath.
Local attractions include many historic buildings including Castle Howard, Nunnington Hall, Duncombe Park and Rievaulx Abbey. The market towns of Kirkbymoorside, Helmsley and Pickering, famous for its steam railway station, the historic town of York and the quaint fishing villages of Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay are all an easy drive away. You are spoilt for choice for places to eat and drink with a wealth of cosy pubs and plenty of award-winning eateries in the vicinity, including the Royal Oak in Gillamoor itself. For keen golfers, Kirkbymoorside Golf Course is only a couple of miles away.

Perfect country cottage

Honestly, Heather Cottage is perfect. Well appointed, Immaculate, comfortable, great location, superb garden. We spent 12 days there and enjoyed every moment. Really appreciated the comfortable beds and the underfloor heating in the bathrooms. The welcome basket suited us to a T. Thanks to Jo, the owner, for a memorable experience.

Excellent house for exploring the North York Moors

This was the perfect house for our first weekend walking holiday to North York Moors with friends. The house has everything you need and more! We felt welcome and quite pampered. The welcome hamper was a wonderful surprise. And, it's right next door to The Royal Oak, which provides good food if you don't have the energy to cook after a long day's walking.
