Appletree Cottage

About this property

Located in the pretty village of Ovington, near Richmond in North Yorkshire is Appletree Cottage, a wonderful, single-storey home. Resting near the River Tees and a short journey into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Appletree Cottage offers a homely base, perfect for a self-catered stay, inviting four guests. Benefit from off-road parking before travelling through the front garden and into your new abode. Be welcomed into the living/dining room, offering a lovely space to unwind after a day of travelling, where you can light the woodburning stove whilst sinking into the plush sofas on offer. Continue into the kitchen, well-equipped to ease your stay, where you can prepare meals and keep on top of your washing in the nearby utility, before gathering around the dining table for mealtimes; if you'd prefer an alfresco affair, be sure to take advantage of the rear garden, made up with contemporary furniture. As the night unfolds, catch some rest from one of the two double bedrooms on offer, before completing your morning routine in the bathroom. Head into the village to enjoy the popular local pub of The Four Alls, where you can dine out or enjoy a tipple or two. Stroll alongside the river, following the Teesdale Way trail, allowing you to explore several nearby villages and their amenities, before travelling west to Barnard Castle, where you can tour The Bowes Museum, practise your swing at Barnard Castle Golf Club, or discover the remains of Egglestone Abbey. Travel to Richmond to explore the beautiful landscape of Richmond Falls and brush up on your local knowledge at the Richmondshire Museum, whilst Richmond Castle and Easby Abbey offer a snapshot into the town’s heritage. Both the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the North Pennines AONB are a car journey away, zig-zagged with nature-filled walking trails and lofty vantage points, recommended to pack your walking boots whilst visiting Ovington. Enjoy your trip to the North East by booking Appletree Cottage.
