About this property
A very pretty stone and pantiled semi-detached cottage, created from the conversion of a former granary building on the owner's family-run livestock and arable farm, set in the heart of the picturesque village of Levisham. Converted to a high standard and with a cosy and welcoming feel, this lovely, well laid out cottage offers superb open-plan accommodation, and is tastefully decorated and furnished, with shared use of a lovely large walled garden. This is an ideal base for exploring the coast and North York Moors, as well as the maze of footpaths in the surrounding hills and valleys.
High on the Yorkshire Moors, to the north of Pickering is the tiny, picturesque village of Levisham. Composed of a cluster of farms and a variety of attractive, neat stone cottages around a village green, this little settlement boasts a pub and a village church whilst there are shops 6 miles away in Pickering. Rising above the nearby Hole of Horcum - where the devil is said to have fallen to earth - is Levisham Beck which flows along a steep wooded valley. At the foot of this is a watermill and small waterfall, adding to the picturesque scenery. Throughout the beautiful countryside visitors can find a maze of tracks and footpaths whilst nearby Levisham station is a stop on the North York Moors Steam Railway. The area also hosts a number of castles, historic houses and moorland villages, as well as a variety of fishing facilities.

Brian
The cottage was very clean and well equipped and had everything we needed. WiFi worked well. We had a very relaxed week there in a beautiful village, which is quiet and off the beaten track. We ate at The Horsehoe Inn on 3 evenings - it's all of 100 yards away and the food is superb. I have just marked comfort down one spot because the settee was a bit uncomfortable for me but I am a heavy man. It was fine for my wife! Overall, excellent. Thank you, Heather.

No issues during the stay, had the confidence from Heather that is anything was needed the support and help would be available and dealt with quickly. Wifi available if needed with good connection and no issues. Levisham Station worth a visit âTopOf The Worldâ some great scenery for photoâs. Peaceful, chilled setting, good location and base for nearby attractions and visits. Horseshoe Inn food excellent, service and staff very friendly. A very relaxing stay and everything we needed, some lovely peaceful walks with lots of time to unwind, local villagers extremely friendly. Road up to the village a little daunting initially but once done, isnt an issue, lots of passing places and leads to a wonderful place, lovely.
