    “Lovely place to stay.”

    Clean and homely. Well equipped. Love how the property is modern equipped but has the old feel to it still. Parking is a little bit of a problem especially being next to a school. But if you time your coming and goings then you can work around it. Not so ideal for dogs but we also managed that. The village is nice with its own pubs and a convenient shop. Easy travel to the North Yorkshire coast. Or walking up on the moors. Yes we would stay again. Lovely welcome pack. Many thanks for a lovely ...

    Thank you for the great and useful feedback. We are pleased you had a lovely stay. It is also pleasing to us that you appreciated our efforts to keep the look and feel of the cottage, in the work we and previous custodians have put into it. Regarding dog friendliness, from experience, we no longer allow dogs to be unsupervised in the patio garden, however there is a public footpath to the countryside straight across the road. We find the school very quiet, even in term time but also enjoy the occasional choir practice from the little ones at the end of term! Property Owner

The property

Originally a Farm House tucked away in the countryside of the North York Moors is this characterful, semi-detached house, Springfield 42 High Street. Boasting original stonework throughout and resting within the North York Moors National Park and a short distance from the North Yorkshire coastline, Springfield is a delightful setting for your next staycation. After leaving your car, take in your quaint village location, before making your way inside the charming dwelling. The sitting room has been designed with relaxation in mind, with ample seating available for all the family, where you can cosy up in front of the toasty woodburning stove, as you play a board game with your loved ones or watch a movie on the TV. Move through the house to find a pleasant kitchen with cream units, hosting a range of integrated appliances that will please any budding chef, including a dishwasher and an electric cooker and hob. When dinner is ready, savour it in the dining room with a woodburning stove warming the space, providing the perfect spot for many happy, family gatherings. After tucking into dinner, you can find the ground-floor cloakroom, where you can throw boots into the original stone sink and any muddy clothing into the washing machine, before wandering upstairs to find two well-presented doubles, one boasting floral accents and an en-suite cloakroom, and the other enjoying stylish, purple touches. The first floor also hosts a fantastic bathroom, where you can indulge in a soak in the freestanding bath or relish a refreshing rinse in the rainfall shower; there is an additional shower room nearby, for added convenience. Continue to the second floor, where a twin and single await, both showcasing painted stone walls and vaulted ceilings. On sunny days, get together on the patio and enjoy an alfresco meal as you plan the days ahead. Your amenities are just a stone's throw away, with Castleton hosting a well-equipped convenience store, two friendly pubs, and a tearoom, along with a train station, so you can explore the wider area with ease. You also benefit from having various walks and cycle rides available from your doorstep, including many circular local trails around Castleton and Danby, home to the NYM visitor centre.

Castleton also sits centrally on the Esk Valley Walk. Guisborough isn't far and is home to the Guisborough Forest, where you can start your walk through the enchanting woods via the Guisborough Forest & Walkway Visitor Centre, the town is also home to the Guisborough Museum and priory, where you can learn of the local history. Spend the day in Pickering, where the ruins of the once-glorious Pickering Castle, the fascinating Beck Isle Museum and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway await. For a day out by the sea, venture to Whitby, where you can bask in the sun on the Whitby Sea Front, before climbing the famed 199 Steps to the stunning remains of Whitby Abbey; why not try something different, and board a cruise via the River Esk where you can go Whale Watching or embark on a fishing trip? The market town of Helmsley rests on the southern edge of the National Park, and is home to the renowned, 900 year-old Tudor Mansion of Helmsley Castle, beautiful Walled Gardens, and birds of prey centre. There is so much more to experience in this amazing region, with the National Park's ample walking and cycling trails resting just a stone's throw away, a short drive away is the Ryedale folk museum in Hutton le Hole. The seaside villages of Staithes and Sandsend, as well as Runswick Bay are easily reached and perfect for those seeking more coastal fun, as they are home to stunning sands, along with an array of seaside activities. For a relaxing stay with your family, choose Springfield as your base. Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.
