Family Country Cottage with a private Valley View

Family Country Cottage with a private Valley View is a character cottage resting near Scarborough, North Yorks, looking out across open countryside towards Dalby Forest. Converted from a 150 year old cow barn, the accommodation is conveniently spread out over the ground floor. Step inside to find an open-plan living space where rustic beams, thoughtful touches and a glowing woodburning stove create a welcoming heart to the home. Gather in the dining area to plan family adventures, rustle up simple suppers in the kitchen, then settle on the sofa as flames flicker and the last light fades over the valley. When sleep beckons, a pleasant double bedroom gives the grown-ups their own haven, while the rustic bunk bedroom offers a fun retreat for younger guests to retreat to, eager to chat about the day. A sleek shower room with walk-in shower completes the layout, ideal for rinsing off after hours outdoors.

Open the door to the patio garden and let the fresh country air pour in as you sip morning coffee and drink in far-reaching valley views. Lazy afternoons are made for sizzling something tasty on the barbecue while any dogs potter about and the children watch for wildlife along the slopes and treetops beyond. With off-road parking and guest passes to explore nearby Dalby Forest, days can be easily filled with woodland trails and scenic viewpoints. When you are ready to roam further, head to Scarborough for classic seaside fun, pay a visit to Whitby for harbourside strolls and fish and chips, or make for Pickering for family days out and access to the wider North Yorks National Park and Flamingoland. However you choose to spend your break, Family Country Cottage with a private Valley View near Scarborough, North Yorks, offers a good base for relaxed family adventures.
