Painter’s Cottage

Painter's Cottage stands on an active farm deep in the North York Moors. You get the whole place to yourself, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms—a kingsize and two singles, each with its own ensuite. A dog is welcome here at no extra cost, and the farm setting means there's space to explore. The ground floor has a living room, dining room and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking: oven, hob, dishwasher and microwave all there. Heating, electricity, Wi-Fi and bed linen are included; you just need to bring clothes.

Behind the cottage is a patio with garden furniture and a barbecue. You can fish in the farm's water if that appeals. There's a bike store and parking on site. The nearest pub is within a mile. The Moors themselves are on the doorstep for walking and exploring, and Dalby Forest is close by. The coast—Whitby, Scarborough, Robin Hood's Bay—is accessible for a day out. Children can stay, though there are no specific provisions mentioned beyond what you'd find in any family home.
