The Old School

This converted schoolhouse has been reimagined as a contemporary retreat without losing the character of its original bones. The property sleeps four across two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and the whole place is yours alone. Downstairs, a super king bedroom opens onto a sitting area with an electric woodburner and doors leading to the garden. Upstairs, a double bedroom sits beneath a vaulted beamed ceiling, reached by a spiral staircase. Both floors have their own shower rooms.

The open-plan living and kitchen space flows into a garden where you can use the four-person hot tub, settle into the seating area, and park two cars. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all provided. One well-behaved pet stays free. The location puts you within reach of Scarborough's coast and the North Yorkshire countryside; Ganton Golf Course is nearby if that appeals. No smoking indoors, and the property is not suitable for children.
