Description

Situated within the Howardian Hills National Landscape, and with stunning far reaching views over to the North York Moors National Park, Kirkdale Cottage is an ideal base for exploring the best of North Yorkshire's moors, dales and forest trails. Tucked away in tranquil countryside, guests can escape the hustle and bustle of every day life yet be within easy reach of picturesque dog friendly Helmsley (under 2 miles by car or a country ramble), Castle Howard, York and Whitby. Kirkdale cottage is a unique converted 18th century farm building, featuring timbered ceilings and exposed stone walls, renovated to a high standard. The living room has a log burner, two sofas (seating five) and window seat. A new wood floor was fitted in November 2023. The living room opens into the dining area (a refectory Wren Man table and six chairs) and kitchen. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, full size fridge freezer, and washing machine. Upstairs there are three bedrooms: bedroom 1 has a king size bed which can also be split into two single beds; bedroom 2 has a (fixed) double bed; and bedroom 3 has a single bed. The bathroom has a toilet, hand basin and shower cubicle. Dogs love our enclosed dog exercise paddock and quiet country walks from the doorsteps. Kirkdale Cottage is one of four holiday cottages at Sproxton Hall Cottages. All benefit from the shared use of our extensive grounds which include a courtyard garden with outdoor furniture, a large lawned area with picnic benches, and onsite parking. An EV charger is available. Popular with couples and families throughout the year, guests choose our cottages for relaxation and fresh air, for walking and cycling, and for catching up with friends and family. Guests enjoy Michelin star dining in nearby Harome and Oldstead.Discover local history at Ampleforth and Rievaulx Abbeys, and the stunning views of Sutton Bank/White Horse. York is approximately 23 miles away and has been voted Britains most popular city due to its castle, walls, museums, shops and Minster; it is particularly popular with our guests whatever the weather. The picturesque steam railway from Pickering crosses Goathland/Heartbeat country to the coast at Whitby; Flamingo Land (near Malton) offers a different kind of day out - with its zoo and theme park. Following in the footsteps of James Herriot, guests can visit the museum at his former vets surgery in nearby Thirsk and explore the film locations on a day out in the Yorkshire Dales.

A lovely stay at Christmas

By Hazel Wilson on 29-Dec-2024

We have just returned from a stay over Christmas at Kirkdale Cottage. We had a lovely stay and our hosts Helen and Dave were very friendly and welcoming. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very cosy and warm, well equipped and big enough to host our family and dogs. Thankyou for a lovely stay we hope to return.

Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings

By Grant on 15-Apr-2024

Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings. The rooms are comfortable and the main livng area is of a good size. We have a large dog (Vizsla) and there was plenty of space for his crate and the four of us downstairs. The area out the front is a bonus to walk/run the dog too. Easy parking too. The views are great and you're central for most of the area, 45 minutes to Whitby, York, Brimham rocks, Harrogate and so on. Helmsley has some great restaurants, the castle is good (get the audio tour), great bakery by the castle and the bird of prey centre with Duncombe park is worth a visit (no dogs in the centre but you can walk them around the park).

Perfect Country Cottage

By Jacobus on 01-Jan-2024

Perfect country cottage. 10 out of 10 Liked · Cottage & hosts were fantastic, as well as the people in the village of Sproxton. We felt right at home from the get-go. Great fireplace + wood. Disliked · Difficult walk to a pub (in winter - very muddy) on a public footpath. 10 out of 10 for cleanliness, staff, value for money, comfort & facilities. 7.5 out of 10 for location
