The Hayloft

Recently voted amongst Britain’s top 25 holiday cottages by a national magazine, the Threshing Barn and The Old Sheaf Store, together with the newer studio-style Hayloft, are all exceptional properties enjoying an idyllically peaceful situation. Thoughtfully converted from former farm buildings, they have been beautifully furnished and equipped to a high standard, with their beamed interiors simply oozing character. Architecturally award-winning, each has its own dedicated patio with furniture, and there is a shared adult games room with a snooker table (under 16s strictly under adult supervision). Close to the owners’ farmhouse home, they share 1½ acres of grounds, with secluded sitting-out areas and magnificent views, a beautifully maintained farmyard with cows, free-roaming hens, ducks and a large duck pond. Just 6 miles from the coast in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, there are excellent walks straight from the doorstep. Historic Whitby, 8 miles. Riding and bridleways locally. Pub 3/4 mile.
