Looking at this stunning home, it's hard to believe that it was once a coach house. This is a testament to the hard work and creativity that went into the recent renovation. The newly converted interior belongs in the pages of a glossy magazine, with huge windows on the extension letting in copious amounts of natural daylight and a sleek kitchen that will have keen chefs eager to start cooking. A gorgeous island in the middle makes it a sociable space to gather around and clink glasses. In the living room, bursts of colour come from a beautifully soft corner sofa in royal blue and artwork hanging on the walls curated by local artist David Stead. From here, you'll be able to see the expansive gardens, which come complete with a barbecue and an alfresco dining area — you can almost hear the sound of Pimm's being poured out already. The prime location in North Yorkshire means that you won't be short of inspiration for days out. You can walk to Ripon Cathedral in just over a quarter of an hour, while the Nidderdale AONB can be reached in ten minutes by car for when you fancy a longer ramble.

Horse & Carriage

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. If you fancy venturing further afield, lace up your walking boots and hike through the wild, untouched beauty of the Yorkshire Dales – a twenty-minute drive away.

Ivy & Gold

Nestled in Sutton-on-the-Forest, just 8 miles north of York, this charming 18th-century cottage welcomes you in with open arms. Perfect for families, the generous country kitchen will quickly become the place where everyone gathers, spilling out into the walled garden for alfresco dining in summer months. The owners live next door and share the gravelled parking area, but you won't hear a peep from them unless you need their help. For those keen to explore the great outdoors, especially if your four-legged friends have joined you for your stay, cross the road and you can walk the ancient woodland of the Sutton Park estate. Further afield, the North York Moors are just a short drive away. 

The Woodlark

Set in a tiny hamlet above bohemian Hebden Bridge, the location of this home is everything.  Thick with artists, crafters, beekeepers, and people who like to do things a bit differently, HB must be one of the most unique villages in England. That quirky, independent spirit carries through into this cottage, with its eclectic mix of furnishings. Think classical with touches of the Middle East, craft crockery and striking wall art. The tree-filled garden is just the place for a morning chai latte, before browsing Hebden Bridge’s independent boutiques, watching an art-house film at the 1920s Picture House, or making a literary pilgrimage to Sylvia Plath’s grave in the ruined churchyard across the road. If you’d like an outdoorsy interlude from all that arts and culture, the surrounding countryside is prime territory for hiking. Come back to your small but perfectly formed base for an evening of love, laughter and stories around the firepit. 

Counting Stars

Live in ‘Gentleman Jack’ luxury style in this five-storey Georgian townhouse located in the heart of Whitby that will truly make for a memorable stay on the North Yorkshire coast. With a stunning balcony terrace and bar area on the top floor of this home, you are afforded incredible views over Whitby, stretching all the way to the Abbey, which can be enjoyed as you sip your morning Yorkshire tea or as the sun sets over cocktails at happy hour. 

On the other side of Whitby, you will find narrow medieval streets with boutiques and pubs. Plus, roughly a twelve-minute walk from your door, you can also discover the ruins of Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s classic gothic novel, ‘Dracula’. What’s more, you can even go on a ‘Dracula’ experience, reachable in just six minutes on foot from this home. 

To make the most of your seaside escape, the Blue Flag West Cliff beach, and promenade are just a five-minute walk away. While nestled on the West Cliff, lining Pier Road – which can be reached in eight minutes on foot – you’ll find arcades for hours of fun on rainy days and Whitby’s famous fish restaurants serving the catch of the day because it simply wouldn’t be a beach holiday without fish and chips. 

On sunny evenings, take advantage of the courtyard on the ground floor of this home, and dine alfresco before ending the evening with drinks on the balcony to admire the views one last time. Then curl up on the comfy sofas to relax after an exhausting day of exploring and climbing the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. Finally, slip into the plush bedding and luxury linens to ensure you have a great night's sleep, ready for another day of adventures.

Thirsk Tranquility

Located in the hamlet of Pinchinthorpe – right on the edge of the North York Moors National Park – this welcoming cottage offers breathtaking landscapes on its doorstep, as well as a comfortable base to call home. 
 
Snuggle up on the living room’s sofas with a mug of tea and a good book while the fireplace casts its warm glow, or open up the double doors here to let the breeze flow through on balmy days. Step through the doors and onto the patio to enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh air – you may even spot the alpacas roaming in the neighbouring field – or fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast.
 
The kitchen beckons hearty homecooked meals to be enjoyed around its sociable breakfast bar, while the two bedrooms – elegantly pared-back – promise a dreamy night’s sleep in their cosy beds. 
 
When it comes to exploring the local area, drive five minutes to visit the market town of Guisborough where you’ll find charming shops, local pubs and the 12th-century Gisborough Priory, or choose one of the many walking trails fanning out around you into the North York Moors. The Guisborough Branch Walkaway is less than a five-minute stroll from your door where you’ll find a trio of hiking trails, a cycling track, orienteering and a play area, and should you fancy a day by the sea, Saltburn-by-the-Sea is just a fifteen-minute drive away. 


Heathcliff, It's Me

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.

For a night of rest and relaxation head upstairs, where you can unwind in the luxurious bathtub before getting some quality sleep in the comfy bedrooms. Wake up restored and plan your day’s adventures with a cup of coffee in the 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. Just minutes down the road you'll also find the Rockliffe Hall Golf Hotel & Spa resort, set on a 365-acre estate and boasting one of the UK’s largest spas, an 18-hole championship golf course and multiple restaurants including fine dining options.

Let's Walk By the River

Blessed with a well-proportioned and beautifully decorated interior, plus a perfect position in the quaint North Yorkshire market town of Masham, this flat promises a real change of pace. On entry, step straight into the well-lit open kitchen and living room, complete with a leather seating area and a farmhouse-style dining table for four, so there's plenty of room to socialise and relax while you get dinner on the go.

Head through to the two bedrooms and you'll discover soothing spaces with light, neutral decor and comfy beds that make slipping off a cinch. The main bedroom enjoys direct access to a private outdoor seating area for sipping your morning coffee – it makes the ideal addition to the larger communal yard, which is equipped with an outdoor dining area for alfresco feasts. Finally, the generously proportioned family bathroom is perfect for personal pampering sessions, with storage behind the mirror to store your sundries. 

Nestled on the banks of the River Ure, the small rural community of Masham has plenty to offer including picturesque walks through stunning countryside, challenging bike rides along a section of the Tour de France, or touring either of the two breweries and sipping pints at its four pubs. Further afield, you're under a forty-minute drive from Harrogate and the famous Betty's Tea Room.

Land of Hops and Glory

Seamlessly blending traditional and modern, this rural farmhouse is a true escape from it all. Tailor-made for socialising, we love the open-concept kitchen and dining areas making up the heart of the home, where in winter, you can soak up the warmth of the wood burner or in summer months, spill out onto the terrace. Locally, you’re just a short distance from the vibrant market towns of Clitheroe and Settle, while walkers and cyclers alike will adore Gisburn Forest, a mere five-minute drive away.
