This charming home in the heart of Yorkshire is a real escape from reality. A traditional stone cottage in the village of Crayke, it’s got bags of character, plenty of style and next-level comfort. Take the living room, for example. Does anything sound cosier than sinking into the plush sofa and warming your feet on the glow from the wood-burner? The kitchen, complete with an AGA, is well-equipped for creating an impressive feast, which is just as well as there are excellent dining spaces to choose from here. The dining room, with its original fireplace, has an atmospheric feel, but in the summer, a leisurely dinner in the wild-flower filled garden is a delight. There are outstanding walks and cycle trails nearby, an award-winning pub (The Durham Ox) is a 200m dander away, and for history and culture, York is a 14-mile drive.

This pretty retreat is in the historic market town of Helmsley, sits on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. The 110 mile-long Cleveland Way National Trail begins in Helmsley and takes you through the heather-clad hills of the Moors to the cliffs and coast of Filey Brigg – a nine-day trek in total, but you can stop your car at any point along its length. Making this cosy cottage the perfect base for a walking or cycling holiday. Warm interiors offer a serene space to relax after a hike on the Moors and an inviting space for socialising over a board game by the woodstove. Pour a glass of wine and put your feet up in the living room, before getting some "me time" with a pamper session in the luxurious bathrooms – two of which have their own TVs. With your favourite soundtrack playing through the Sonos Soundsystem in the background rustle up some comfort food in the kitchen for an evening in. On warmer days, dine alfresco out on the patio amidst the fresh country air. The local area of Hemsley offers a lot to feast on too– from eateries to homely pubs to tea rooms and a quintessential Yorkshire market square. Not to mention a fabulous array of boutique shops to wander around on rainy afternoons. 


On Heathered Moor

Packed with antiques collected over the years and grand yet striking rooms, this home in Hemsley is a real find. A red-brick facade and topiaried hedges set the tone as you arrive, and inside you’ll find a collection of hand-carved bureaus and cast iron bathtubs. The living room is a vision of deep red with swathes of velvet curtains and an original fireplace keeping things warm in winter. A smaller, cosy family snug is set around a wood-burning stove so the group can easily spread out. In contrast to the rest of the house, the dine-in kitchen is decidedly modern with concrete-grey walls, plush leather dining chairs and a wall of glass looking out over the garden. Though the blue AGA is a nod to farmhouse tradition. If the weather is fine, dinner can be served outside on the patio at the long dining table. An old cherry tree provides patio shade on sunny days and if you visit in Spring, you might catch the blossom falling like snow. If you don’t fancy cooking in the kitchen or firing up the barbecue, there’s a handful of cosy country pubs in Hemsley town, a two-minute walk away.

Open the door onto Yorkshire country life with a stay at this characterful stone-built cottage, set in the gently bustling market town of Kirkbymoorside.

Carefully reimagined for modern living, the magnificent, beamed ceilings and exposed stonework remain to add charm and character. While a light-drenched sunroom with original flagged flooring feels firmly in the 21st century – it’s the perfect spot for morning coffees and afternoon lolls with the papers. Or take things outside to the suntrap courtyard in the summer months.

Upstairs, the two sunny, elegant bedrooms are spread over two floors, so you’ll have some extra privacy here. Though prepare for a tussle for that main bedroom with one hug of a king-sized bed, views of the Yorkshire Wolds, and a separate dressing room.

Back downstairs, rustling up a bite to eat is a delight in the traditional, farmhouse-style kitchen – or skip the cooking and head to Kirkbymoorside’s bakeries and traditional inns, all just a short walk away.

When you’re suitably refuelled and ready for an adventure, you’re perched right on the southern boundary of the North York Moors national park for bracing walks or, a smidge further, days on the coast. After something a little more gentile? Then the historic city of York is an afternoon well spent.

It seems quite fitting that a home situated in the heart of the picturesque and historic County Durham should be equally charming – and this cottage nestled on the edge of the village of Hurworth fits the bill perfectly. Surrounded by lush woodlands and steps away from the river Tees, this is an ideal spot to base yourself if you wish to enjoy the tranquillity and natural beauty of this region. 

While the cottage retains its original character, the inside has been fully renovated and restored, offering all the modern comforts to make your stay a restful one. Step through the front door to be greeted by a bright and welcoming interior, with a cosy living room, perfect for lounging about and enjoying movie nights and evenings of wine and conversation by the fire. 

The bright and well-equipped kitchen inspires to create delicious feasts which can be shared with your loved ones either indoors or out in the privacy of the back garden.

Why not head to the village and enjoy lunch at one of the lovely pubs or drive over to nearby Darlington for a spot of shopping.

Cloaked in ivy, this home's stone-clad facade charms from the outset. You'll find it situated in an old school house in the heart of Richmond, brimming with character. Adorning a timeless canvas of high ceilings and hardwood, heated floors, exquisitely renovated interiors are equal parts cosy and chic, while huge windows usher in floods of natural light. We especially love the open-plan living space, primed for relaxation with a fully-fitted kitchen, large dining table and cosy lounge. Outside, a patio equipped with furniture and potted plants offers an idyllic spot for sunbathing in the warmer months.

Here, you're perfectly positioned to explore, just shy of a seven-minute walk from Richmond Castle and even closer to the cobbled market square. After a restful slumber in the sumptuous bedrooms – dressed with premium linens and eco-friendly Harrison Spinks mattresses – brew your morning fix with the Smeg coffee machine before slipping out for a stroll. Head across Mercury Bridge and towards the Old Richmond station, where an art gallery, three-screen cinema an award-winning array of eateries is sure to keep your clan entertained.

Built in 1862, this character-filled home that was once a stable boy's accommodation is now a cosy and atmospheric 21st-century getaway. We love every irresistible inch, from the light-filled skylights and gorgeous sea views down to the glossy parquet floor. The sumptuous master bedroom is so stylish, it's hard to believe it's all upcycled from cladding and roof joists, and the master bathroom is even better. Relax with a soak in the lavish free-standing bathtub or rinse off under the rainfall shower. The living area is warm and incredibly comfortable. In the mornings, open the bi-fold doors and sip your coffee on the Juliet balcony, watching the ocean waves from the floor-to-ceiling windows. After a tasty breakfast rustled up in the blue kitchen, head up to the roof terrace to soak up the sunshine. Decked out with lush greeny and a barbecue, you'll want to spend every minute you're not at the beach sitting up here, enjoying alfresco meals and sipping cocktails as the sun sets over the water. Speaking of the sea, it's just a five-minute walk down to the beach or into town, where you can snack on fish and chips and grab a pint at one of the local pubs. Shopaholics can browse Saltburn-by-the-Sea's independent boutiques, keen hikers can walk along the Cleveland Way or for a more leisurely pace, just stroll along the Victorian pier, relishing in the salty sea air.

Rejuvenate with panoramic coastal views and sea air at this contemporary home perched along the mighty beach cliffs of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. With the Victorian spa town's golden sands and bustling town centre all just a five-minute jaunt away, it's hard to imagine a better location. 

Spend days sandcastle making, kite flying, and surfing, if you time the tide right. And when tummies start to rumble, hop on the cliff lift (the oldest of its kind in the UK, no less) just eight minutes from your door. You'll be down on the promenade backed by its colourful beach huts in no time for fish and chips and lashings of ice creams. 

Back at home, this place is a masterstroke in the art of modern living, with zesty pops of colour creating a welcoming retreat. But it's those views of the distant horizon taking all the glory here. In winter months, sink into the sumptuous, velvet sofas positioned just so to take in the seascapes with a cuppa. And when the sun shines, pad out onto the sea-facing terrace with a glass of something chilled – the outdoor lighting will help keep the night flowing. 

Upstairs, you'll discover bedrooms all adorned with crisp white linens, and kids will love the bunk beds in the third bedroom. And the pièce de résistance? The vast main suite with those sea views again. Best seen from the king-size bed with tea and toast, we think

Lie low at this Tudor farm cottage, on the doorstep of a 400-acre nature reserve in the glorious Lincolnshire countryside.

Built in 1510 and lovingly restored using traditional handcrafts by the owners, the cottage fuses heritage architecture and cosy countryside living to perfection.

The devil really is in the detail here – from the freshly cut flowers to the gourmet breakfast baskets and afternoon tea spreads (both bookable for an additional fee).

Try your hand at archery and axe throwing lessons. Then reward yourself with an evening of pampering at the farm estate's on-site spa (think Cleopatra copper milk and flower baths) – it's just a thirty-second walk from your door.
 
When it comes to the day's end, enjoy long summer nights in the 18th century walled garden beside the firepit. Take things inside to cook up a feast in the shaker-style kitchen, complete with an Aga stove. Break out the home's board games beside the crackling fire. Or head out to nearby South Ferriby for upper crust grub at it's award-winning pub – just a fifteen-minute drive away.


Tudor Dreams

Set within the North York Moors National Park, the village of Osmotherley is a quaint resting spot for hikers and history fans. As this fantastic home is located just a four-minute drive from the Mount Grace Priory House and Gardens, you might fancy spending the day roaming the ruins of a medieval monastery. Or with hills to the north and south, you can amble to your heart’s content. Either way, this magnificent house will be ideal to come home to after exploring the beauty of Yorkshire.

Although it’s set over three fabulous floors, the entrance is truly the heart of the home. Modern, elegant, and opulent, the decor makes use of natural elements like wood and stone, with a muted colour palette. You’ll love stepping into the open-plan kitchen, where a huge skylight allows soft sunlight to beam down while you enjoy a hearty brunch.

But this home really comes into its own in the vast living spaces back downstairs. You can expect to do some entertaining here with two dining areas to choose from. Lay the table for glamorous suppers and games nights in the dedicated dining room. Keep things casual with lazy brunches (mimosa, anyone?) in the light-filled sunroom with the garden doors open wide. Or take things outside to savour morning coffees on the furnished garden terrace fringed by manicured lawns – the village newsagents is just a stroll away to pick up the papers.

When the sea finally lures you, Scarborough's four sandy bays are just a two-and-a-half mile drive away for bucket and spade days. Our vote goes to North Bay, with its golden sandy shores and chalet-lined promenade – it's just like you imagined. And there's always lashings of fish and chips and ice creams when tummies rumble. Or swing by Scalby's gastro pub within stumbling distance of your home – you'll be sure of a warm welcome.

Set in one of the most beautiful parts of Yorkshire, this formerly derelict barn was chanced across by its owners in 2015, and lovingly converted into the stunning home it is today. The vibe is English country, with real moments of grandeur. With antlers on the walls, fine china ornaments, touches of tartan, and a solid teak dining table that wouldn’t look out of place in a stately home, it’s the kind of place you can imagine a hunting party coming back to after a day out on the moors. The grand feel continues in the bedrooms, each of which is as luxurious as the last but has its own unique design. We can see ourselves spending windswept days walking the hills of God’s Own Country before returning to pre-dinner drinks by the fire in the snug (the original stone floor is particularly gorgeous). Once the kids are set up with a movie in the second living room, a candlelit meal around the dining table beckons, followed by a session in the wood-fired hot tub.

This cosy home provides a true countryside escape. It's located on the cusp of Wensleydale and resides near the stretching natural beauty of the Yorkshire Dales. If you love wholesome walks and snapping pictures of beautiful scenery, this is the home for you. 

If you did want to explore the undulating hills of the Yorkshire Dales, they're under half an hour away. You can take a few days to master the hillside or simply just spend an afternoon amidst the sea of green. 

Of course, you don't have to visit them at all – various walking trails decorate the landscape near your home. Simply set out in the mornings to discover the local rural charm.

When you're out in the nearby towns and villages, make sure to stop off for a quick pint at the cosy pubs. You can also find a selection of cute shops and authentic stores selling clothes, food and souvenirs. 

Once you're back at the home, snuggle into its tranquil comfort. Catch a film on the TV, sit out on the garden table with a cup of coffee or just read a book on the rustic bench. Picturesque and peaceful, it's an idyllic spot in the heart of the rural North of England.


Rural Heart

Just a mile from the beautiful sandy and shingle shores of Marske Beach, this newly built holiday home is perfectly positioned to explore this picturesque stretch of the North Sea coast.

The majority of the individually decorated rooms include an eye-catching feature wall, adding a splash of colour and a playful atmosphere to the home, while the enclosed garden is perfect for outdoor dinners and playtime with four-legged friends and energetic children. 

You'll hear the occasional cheer from the terraces of the nearby football club. Still, its family-friendly atmosphere on match days makes it an ideal candidate for a first football match, with little worry about the outlay when your children inevitably grow bored around fifteen minutes in. 

After catching a snippet of the game, enjoy an afternoon stroll southwards along the dramatic coast towards the historic seaside spa town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea with its iconic cast iron pier stretching 208 metres out to sea and its Grade II-listed cliff lift.

Beneath the Marske

Fit for a romantic country break, this classic stone cottage sits in the rolling hills near Huddersfield. A ten-minute drive sees you in the confines of the Peak District – the UK’s oldest National Park – where walking trails weave across the landscape atop hills and past waterfalls. Ten minutes in the other direction, you’ll find the quaint town of Holmfirth to stock up on groceries and visit the local pubs and cafés. There’s a local pub and bakery a fifteen-minute stroll into the hamlet of Hepworth too.

After a day trekking in the Peaks, this is the perfect spot to put your feet up. Unlace your hiking boots and warm your toes by the wood-burning stove in the living room. ‘Cosy’ is the watchword here, with old wooden gables on display and thick stone walls keeping things warm once the stove gets going. There’s a little selection of holiday reads for evenings by the fire and a full kitchen for meals at home. In the sunny summer months, make use of the patio, furnished with a bistro table for two. From here, the only sound is the odd bleet from sheep in the field next door.

The Shepherdess

Modern, stylish and in the heart of charming Whitby, this home ticks all the boxes for a memorable stay on the North Yorkshire coast. Honeycomb print livens up licks of trendy grey and we particularly loved the subtle nods to Whitby’s history and maritime identity in the living space and bedroom. A dining table with zesty yellow chairs takes centre stage – come together for a home-cooked breakfast and hot cups of tea before throwing on your sun hat and heading to the seaside. You’re a ten-minute walk from the beach – fifteen if you stop for an ice cream. Cross the River Esk and climb the 199 steps to reach the famous Abbey. With all of that exploring, you’ll have worked up quite an appetite, so pick up a fish supper from an award-winning chip shop and enjoy overlooking the harbour. 

Beehive Cottage

Check into this handsome Whitby townhouse for seaside living at its most refined and stylish. Set across five floors united by elegant interiors, there’s room for all twelve of you to make yourselves at home here. Climb the stairs to discover six bedrooms and five bathrooms, each as beautiful as the next. And with every bedroom but one boasting king-sized beds clad in crisp snow-white linens, there’s no need to tussle for the best room here.

Back downstairs, you can fling the double patio doors open wide on summer mornings to savour your morning coffee in the sunshine before whipping up brunch and mimosas in that made-for-action shaker-style kitchen with double ovens to flex your culinary skills. But if the weather doesn't buck up, the first-floor sitting room is just as inviting curled up with the morning newspapers.

When it’s finally time to soak up the charms of Whitby, you won’t have far to go – all the must-sees are within walking distance. Get off to a flying start with a visit to the Abbey Ruins – set high on the hill with magnificent views of the town, there’s no better way to get your bearings. Then lose yourself to the charming winding streets of its centre – there’s plenty of traditional inns and cafes to dive into should thoughts turn to food. Or follow the little River Esk down to the beach for fish and chips suppers overlooking the sea – there’s no finer place to be.

Seashells by the Seashore

Just a four-minute stroll from the blue flag shores of West Cliff Beach and its cheery beach-hut-lined promenade, this home's location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. Here, you're ten minutes from the bustling town centre on foot and even closer to Pier Road, with its delightful array of waterfront pubs, arcades and seafood restaurants. Across the river, the storied ruins of Whitby Abbey are a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep.

Light-filled and stylishly decorated, this home's interiors beckon you to relax from the moment you step through the door. You'll find it perched on the third floor of a Victorian townhouse and boasting spectacular views of the coast. Admire them whilst preparing a feast in the fully-fitted kitchen and, from the double bedroom, gaze out towards a crystal-clear snapshot of Whitby Abbey. 

After days spent swimming in the North Sea, strolling through the cobbled streets of Whitby's old town or hiking through the North York Moors, you'll love returning to this well-equipped abode. Spend evenings cradling cups of tea around the dining table or snuggled up on the sofa in front of the flat-screen television for a cosy movie night in.

Yorkshire Enchantment

In the heart of historic Whitby, this snug apartment provides the perfect retreat for two. Cosy and contemporary, what it lacks in space, it more than makes up for in comfort. We can already picture ourselves sinking into the plush sofa with a cup of Yorkshire brew after a day in the fresh sea air. Outside, a charming little patio beckons on summer days – it's a sweet spot to enjoy a glass of wine and nibble on Wensleydale cheese as the sun slowly sets. There's also a sleek kitchen ideal for rustling up lighter bites, a glossy bathroom and a sumptuous bedroom that will leave you feeling well-rested and ready to explore.

The enviable locale makes exploring a breeze. Spend the afternoon dipping in and out of the independent shops, old-world pubs and delicious eateries in the city centre, or head down to the waterfront pier and Blue Flag beach for a taste of the seaside. You also can't miss the famous ruins of Whitby Abbey or the 199 Steps – the views from the top of the hill are hard to beat.

As You Wish

This cosy house is perfect for family breaks to the seaside. It stands on the edge of East Cliff, just a ten-minute walk from Whitby’s town centre and its narrow medieval streets lined with pubs, shops and comfy cafes. You can walk easily to the west side of town, where you’ll find the Blue Flag West Cliff Beach and its brightly coloured beach huts. Add in the wonderful Whitby Abbey and its rich history, and you’ll never be short of things to see and do here. 

The house itself is warm and welcoming, with heaps of space. It’s an excellent choice for a big group of friends or a couple of families travelling together, as there’s plenty of room for everyone. We love the balcony that opens out from the living room – it boasts gorgeous views of Whitby and its harbour, and is the perfect spot for a morning cuppa. Later on in the day, you might pick up takeaway fish and chips to unwrap on one of the picnic tables on the terrace. It’s a lovely way to round off a day at the seaside.
