St. Anthonys

St. Anthonys works well for small families or groups of friends after a base close to rural North Yorkshire. Three bedrooms—a king, a double and a single—sleep five across the first floor. The ground floor holds a living room with woodburner and smart TV, plus a kitchen-diner with electric oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. A bathroom with bath and shower sits upstairs; there's a separate toilet downstairs. The essentials are covered: heating, electricity, wi-fi and bed linen all included. A travel cot and highchair are available if needed.

A garden opens from the back of the house with seating and countryside views. The village itself has a pub within a mile. Ampleforth lies near Helmsley, where the market town offers shops, cafés and the ruins of a medieval castle. The area is walkable terrain for those wanting to explore on foot. Note that there are steps to the entrance and within the garden, and no smoking is permitted inside.
