Holly Cottage

This one-bedroom barn conversion at Thirley Cotes Farm inverts the usual layout—the bedroom sits downstairs, while the living space occupies the upper floor. The property was once the grain store entrance at this Grade II listed farm, now transformed into a cluster of holiday cottages set within four acres of woodland in the North York Moors. You have the whole place to yourself, with private parking and your own enclosed patio complete with a hot tub (available for an additional charge) and space to cook outdoors.

The bedroom contains a kingsize bed; upstairs, an open plan living area combines kitchen, dining and sitting space with a wood burner, TV and Freesat. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering. A ground floor bathroom has both bath and shower. Wi-Fi, bed linen, towels and heating are included. The grounds offer a children's play area for under-sevens, woodland walks and cycle tracks between the surrounding forests. Dogs are welcome. Smoking is not permitted inside.

The Forge Inn lies nearby for meals without cooking. You are sharing the farm estate with other holiday properties, which means access to a games room with pool table and two electric car charging points. The woodlands contain an unfenced stream; a fenced pond is located 500 yards away.
