Ashberry Retreats - Ashberry Farm Cottage

North Yorkshire's market towns and abbeys lie within reach of this single-storey cottage on a working farm. Ashberry Farm Cottage sits on ground level with views across the duck pond, its own lawned garden and paddock, and parking for one car. The layout keeps things simple: a living room with woodburner and sofa bed, a kitchen with electric cooker and washing machine, a double bedroom, and a shower room. Bed linen and towels are supplied, along with heating and electricity.

The cottage works for a couple or a family of three, and the farm setting opens onto countryside walks. Helmsley and Thirsk are close by for shops and food, while the abbeys at Rievaulx and Byland, Nunnington Hall, and Duncombe Park are all drivable visits. Whitby and Scarborough sit further east if coastal air appeals. Steam train rides run on the North York Moors heritage line nearby. Fishing is available in the locality. Note that the property has a private water supply. Smoking is not permitted.
