About this property
Cow Byre is a fabulous barn conversion nestled comfortably within the soothing countryside of North Yorkshire, close to the superb market town of Malton. Resting delightfully all on the ground floor and sitting close to many of North Yorkshire's wonderful attractions, this is a superb choice for a country cottage holiday with your friends or family. As you enter this wonderful holiday home, the master bedroom rests to your right, furnished tastefully with a double bed and a vibrant en-suite offering the choice of a bath or a shower. From here, be enticed by the beautifully bright and airy open-plan living room, enhanced charmingly with exposed wooden beams and boasting a range of high-quality fixtures and fittings so you can unwind in style. The kitchen is well-appointed and boasts glistening granite worktops, while the dining table is one of many rustic wooden features that can be found. When relaxing on the snug sofas, you can choose to watch one of the DVDs thoughtfully provided by the owner, or perhaps just sit and admire the breath-taking scenery through one of many full-length windows. A woodburning stove is a welcoming addition for those chilly evenings. Completing this excellent interior is an immaculate twin bedroom, offering its own TV for those lazy mornings in bed and an en-suite shower room for added convenience. On the sunny days, take a wander outside and make the most of the delightful garden, where the grass is maintained attractively and the patio displays sublime views over the encompassing countryside. Visitors of all tastes and interests will adore this location, it abounds in magnificent walking and cycling country with the North York Moors and Howardian Hills right on your doorstep. There are also fascinating market towns aplenty, with Malton, Kirkbymoorside and Pickering easy to access, while the coast is also reachable by car if a day at the beach is what you're after. A marvellous, homely cottage in a superb Yorkshire location.
Malton is a market town with interesting buildings, a weekly market and a wide range of amenities. The Yorkshire Moors are to the north, and the Yorkshire Wolds are to the south, making it ideal for walkers and cyclists. A trip further afield can take you to the coast with Scarborough to the east and York to the south west.

The property is very well appointed and cosy with great views. Well placed to visit a variety of locations in North Yorkshire we would definitely recommend this property. The hosts were also very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Kitchen was very well appointed, we had everything we needed and more ! Friendly hosts (and caretaker), who seem to have thought of everything, from the lovely welcome tray to the luxourous bedding. The location is great for the peace and quiet, surrounding areas have plenty to offer, most of them being no more than an hours drive away. This is a property we would definitely recommend. PS - If you like Cantonese food get yourself down to the Queens Head in the Village, really good food, not overly priced and a very nice atmosphere.
