Dairy Cottage

Middlesbrough sits at the heart of North Yorkshire's industrial heritage, but head towards the edges and you find quieter ground. Dairy Cottage occupies a converted barn on a working farm, offering a genuine retreat from town life. The property sleeps four across two bedrooms—a double and two singles—with one bathroom, and you have the whole place to yourself.

Downstairs, the living and dining room comes equipped with a TV and DVD player; upstairs, the kitchen is fully fitted for cooking, with an electric oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. Bed linen and towels are provided, along with wi-fi and electricity. The heating system uses solar power and underfloor technology. There's private parking on site and a patio with garden furniture. A pub sits within a mile, and the property does not permit smoking.
