Cowslip Cottage

Levisham is a quiet village surrounded by the North York Moors, with walking and cycling trails starting at the gate and Pickering a short drive away. Cowslip Cottage sits on Rectory Farm, a converted barn that is yours alone during your stay. It sleeps three across two bedrooms—one double, one single—and has one bathroom with a shower over the bath.

The ground floor holds a living room with a TV and electric fire, plus a kitchen and dining space where you can prepare meals. Upstairs are the bedrooms. Electric heating, linen, towels and wi-fi are all included. You get parking for two cars on site, and one pet stays free. There's a garden with patio seating and views across the paddock; bike storage is on hand if you bring your own. No smoking inside, but a pub is within a mile.

The setting suits walkers, cyclists and those wanting to base themselves in the countryside without straying far from a village with everyday facilities. The farm location means you're close to fields and moorland, though some guests may appreciate knowing that shared grounds and facilities exist elsewhere on the property.
