    “We loved our stay in Wethercote Cottage.”

    The cottage was very clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped. My young grandsons enjoyed seeing the sheep and cows every morning and were delighted to be eating fresh farm eggs for breakfast once they realised that keeping them warm underneath your jumper was not going to result in baby chicks. It’s close to Sutton Bank activity centre so great for bikers and walkers as is the whole area. The only downside was that there was no handsoap in the bathroom or kitchen but next time, ...

    The cottage was very clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped. My young grandsons enjoyed seeing the sheep and cows every morning and were delighted to be eating fresh farm eggs for breakfast once they realised that keeping them warm underneath your jumper was not going to result in baby chicks. It’s close to Sutton Bank activity centre so great for bikers and walkers as is the whole area. The only downside was that there was no handsoap in the bathroom or kitchen but next time, I’ll bring my own.

The property

Helmsley 7 miles.

A traditional, stone-built, semi-detached cottage, adjoining the owners' property on their working livestock farm near Old Byland, seven miles from the delightful market town of Helmsley.

Set in a peaceful location within the National Park, Wethercote Cottage has far reaching views across the North York Moors.

Cosy and comfortable, the open-plan living area retains much charm and character, including ancient low ceiling beams and pine doors.

A large, lawned garden complements the setting; the perfect place to sit and relax.

With numerous public footpaths in the area providing excellent walking opportunities, and Thirsk and Helmsley, with their pretty market squares, tempting tea rooms and country inns within very easy reach, this makes for a great holiday.

This lovely cottage is very close to Sutton Bank Bikes Ltd, where you can hire bikes for the day and explore the many cycle-ways and trails nearby.

Hop onto the Cleveland Way, which passes close by, leading from Helmsley, through Thirsk and around the North York Moors National Park to the coast and down to Filey.

Local attractions include Duncombe Park stately home, the James Herriot museum, Castle Howard and the historic City of York, to name but a few.

A superb Yorkshire cottage in a terrific location.

About the location

HELMSLEY

Kirkbymoorside 6 miles; Thirsk 14 miles; Pickering 13 miles; York 26 miles.

Lying in a sheltered corner of Upper Ryedale, on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park, Helmsley is a prestigious market town with a spacious market square surrounded by houses, hotels and shops. The area is important historically - Helmsley has its own 12th century castle and English Heritage’s Rievaulx Abbey and Castle Howard are close by. Helmsley also boasts an arts centre showing films and plays, and an outdoor swimming pool, which is open during the summer. There is excellent walking on the doorstep - indeed the Cleveland Way starts in Helmsley - and the surrounding North York Moors with their hidden dales and villages are pretty in all seasons. York is less than an hour's drive south, as is Scarborough, Whitby and the east coast, whilst Pickering and the beginning of the famous steam railway line (North Yorkshire Moors Railway) are a little over 20 minutes' drive.

This property accepts short breaks between March-April and October-November for a Friday-Monday, Monday-Friday period only and any week long bookings must begin and end on a Friday.
