About this property
A fabulous, unique conversion of a Victorian chapel, in the pretty village of Rosedale Abbey, in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Occupying the front section of the building, this alternative cottage has been lovingly renovated, combining character features with modern amenities, with tall arched windows, exposed timbers, stripped pine doors and a cast iron and marble fireplace. A beautiful spacious kitchen with exposed stonework and shutters provides a very sociable cooking and dining area, whilst the charming sitting room boasts a cosy open fire, ideal for cooler evenings. With sweeping views towards Chimney Bank, this cottage is set amidst breathtaking scenery, yet within easy reach of the bustling market towns of Kirkbymoorside, Pickering and Helmsley.
Rosedale Abbey provides a village shop, tea room and two village inns and is an ideal base for exploring the stunning heather clad moors. For golf enthusiasts, a number of excellent courses are in the vicinity, whilst an easy drive brings you to the popular seaside resorts of Whitby and Scarborough. A superb cottage, all year round.
Perfectly positioned for touring both the Moors and the Coast, the picturesque village of Rosedale Abbey is situated in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Located in Rosedale, a beautiful valley of sweeping hillsides and breathtaking views, this lovely little settlement is surrounded by wonderful moorland countryside and offers walks in every direction. The village is home to the remains of a 12th Century Cistercian Priory - a stone pillar, staircase and sundial are all that remain, which gave the town its unusual name. The village is now largely made up of stone-built cottages clustered around the village green. Packed with local amenities such as shops, tearooms, an art gallery, a glass studio and three old country pubs, there is plenty to do without venturing to nearby Hutton-le-Hole, Ryedale and Kirkbymoorside.

Well equipped and thoughtfully planned. We enjoyed the village and beautiful scenery and glass blowing studio. The rooms are spacious, and comfortable. The welcome pack biscuits were delicious. We loved the well planned boot room at the entrance and the chapel architecture which has been retained without sacrificing comfort.

The views and outside space was lovely to relax. The chapel is great, shared with 3 friends, able to have a bedroom each. The facilities are great and well equipped for cooking. Very comfortable for the couple of nights we were there. The owner very helpful with information prior to arrival. The booking process was easy through Sykes cottages, very grateful for the discount given by using a Blue Light card for emergency workers, however this was wiped out by the booking fee of £42.00 which I thought was very high, I would be reluctant to book through Sykes cottages again because of this.
