In the North York Moors National Park, thick greenery and lush countryside vistas are just one side of this delightful display of nature. While this home sits between rural villages like Castleton and Danby, a half-hour or so in the car will take you to the shores of Whitby. After a day of bracing sea air and a portion of fish and chips, heading back to your country abode feels a world away from this colourful seaside town. While fish might be on the menu at the coast, this home has a history of pork. A former pigsty, this rustic building sets the tone for an elegant and modern stay – quite the renovation. From the outside, its terracotta roof and honey-coloured stonework certainly give it a barn-like feel. With original stable-style doors and a large courtyard out front, you can imagine the livestock milling around in days gone by. But as soon as you step inside, history is forgotten. Fresh and sophisticated, the living space is an inviting mix of soft fabrics, chunky timber beams, and understated furnishings, all in the glow of a fabulous log-burner. We love the bright white walls and apex ceilings, creating a fantastic sense of space. Another large space is the garden, where a patio awaits with a cute dining set and a barbecue – pork sausages anyone?

About The North York Moors
Stretching from the coast at Whitby to the Howardian hills inland, the North York Moors National Park covers a huge swathe of the north’s wild countryside. Ancient and awesome (in the old sense of the word), the wind-beaten moorlands have inspired gothic novels and romantic epics for centuries.
