About this property

A delightful terraced three-storey cottage, tucked away in a quiet corner of the pretty market town of Kirkbymoorside. Full of character and charm this Kirkbymoorside cottage provides comfortable, homely accommodation, ideally suited for walkers or families wishing to enjoy the North York Moors. Styled and furnished to a good standard throughout, this Kirkbymoorside cottage retains many original features such as old beams and feature fireplaces and makes an ideal holiday base in this beautiful old market town. The accommodation includes a cosy sitting room with a beamed ceiling and feature fireplace, a farmhouse-style kitchen, three lovely bedrooms and two bathrooms, whilst a private courtyard garden provides a lovely spot for a morning coffee or evening tipple. The short stroll from this Kirkbymoorside cottage to the bustling town centre brings you to an excellent choice of pubs, restaurants and independent shops, along with a lively weekly market. For golfers, an excellent 18-hole course is nearby. The surrounding area offers many attractions for all ages, including Ryedale Folk Museum, Helmsley Castle and gardens and the stately home of Castle Howard. Take a step back in time and enjoy a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway at Pickering, which winds its way through stunning scenery to the sleepy village of Grosmont. An easy drive from this Kirkbymoorside cottage brings you to the historic port of Whitby with its fine sandy beaches, quaint cobbled alleys and famous abbey, plus the historic city of York lies 40 minutes' drive to the south and is well worth a visit - don't miss the impressive Minster, Jorvik Viking Centre and the National Railway Museum! A welcoming Kirkbymoorside cottage offering a good base all year round.

Positioned on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and set between Helmsley and Pickering is the attractive market town of Kirkbymoorside. Full of traditional Yorkshire buildings, this pretty town is the centre for all local farms and villages. Visitors to this lovely settlement will find a variety of tea-rooms, pubs and restaurants in addition to a number of high quality antique shops. There is also a market every Wednesday.

    Enclosed wall garden was perfect for our dog, and felt almost Mediterranean in the summer weather! House was in great condition and well prepared for our visit. Parking was always available outside the house. Best to check local market days as it gets very busy in Kirkbymoorside and surrounding towns, but it makes for a good atmosphere and some fun shopping. We have already recommended the house to family and friends!

    - they were dangerous.The steps themselves do not provide enough tread for feet (even size 6). There is no carpet on the stairs and beware if you have a dog who doesn't cope with slippery floors - there is only one (grubby) rug downstairs. The stair hand rail between ground and first floor is not safe because the gap behind it is not large enough for your fingers. We only managed to park outside the house twice - the rest of the time the car was parked 150 metres away. The listing needs to mention parking can be tricky. The worktop around the kitchen sink was filthy with mould and the sink itself had seen better days. The trays in the bottom of the fridge were dirty. There were no duvets which didn't have duck feathers in them (incredibly cruel - vegans and vegetarians beware) so we bought a fibre-filled one and a fresh duvet cover from a nearby town. There was paint peeling off the walls in the hall. On discovering the gas meter was on the floor behind the television stand (instead of being safely inside a cupboard), we left a day early. It really was such a disappointing stay. If you would like photographs to confirm this feedback, please let us know. We've stayed in many cottages over the years (this was our first Sykes one) and this is the least dog friendly.
