Description

Stokesley 7.5 miles and Helmsley 12 miles.

Enjoying a serene setting with gorgeous views of the North York Moors is this inviting, one-bed shepherds hut, Sheep Cote.

Resting on a working hill farm close to the village of Chop Gate, this charming and secluded dwelling invites couples, or perfect for individuals wanting to get away on their own, for a relaxing break amidst the beauty of the North York Moors National Park.

The shepherd hut is sited on what used to be the old sheep pens where work was carried out on the flocks, hence the name ‘Sheep Cote’ another word for ‘Sheep Pen’.

After a day of wandering the local area, step into this cosy and spacious shepherd hut and prepare a meal in the kitchen, fitted with a full size multi function electric oven, 2-ring hob, full size fridge and ice box, so you’ll have everything on-hand for home-cooking.

Choose to sit at the dining table or take the evening outside.

Enjoy a romantic evening with the pretty festoon lighting and enjoy a spot of star gazing.

The North York Moors National Park has been designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve.

Head to the spacious shower room for a freshen up before curling up in the king size bed to catch your rest; there is an electric flame-effect stove and wall-mounted Smart TV to compliment.

There are many walks from the hut itself which you can pick up – there is an OS map provided - and takes you across hills, moorland, fields and through woods.

Including the famous and very popular Cleveland Way National Trail – a 109 mile (175km) walking route.

There is a pub within walking distance, The Buck Inn and only 5.2 miles (8 minutes by car) up the road is the village of Great Broughton which offers three popular eateries - The Jet Miners, The Bay Horse and the Wainstones Hotel.

There is also a popular pub, The Blackwell Ox, in the very pretty village of Carlton in Cleveland which offers Thai food as well as traditional food.

The market town of Stokesley is 7.5 miles (14 minutes by car) and offers many interesting shops, cafes and restaurants.

There is also a Golf Range.

Another nearby market town, is the picturesque Helmsley, 12 miles (17 minutes by car) and home to many attractions including Helmsley Castle, the National Centre for Birds of Prey, Helmsley Walled Garden, an Open Air Swimming Pool.

Through the cobbled streets you can find lots of cafes and restaurants and independent boutique shops.

You can also visit the market town of Northallerton (17 miles), again lots of shops including many high street stores and the popular Barkers department store.

You can also sample the delights of Betty’s Tearooms!

Further afield, is the beautiful Yorkshire Coast which is a lovely day out.

You can start at the seaside town of Saltburn by the Sea, onto the pretty seaside village of Staithes and of course stop off for fish and chips at Whitby and climb the steps up to the Whitby Abbey and admire the stunning elevated views.

Then 6 miles from Whitby lies Robin Hoods Bay, a picturesque old fishing village where you can explore the sandy beaches and rock pools.

Last but not least, there are many National Trust and English Heritage properties nearby:- Rievaulx Terrace, Mount Grace Priory, Roseberry Topping, Nunnington Hall, Bridestones, Crosscliff and Blakey Topping and Ormesby Hall.

Escape the rush of everyday life and enjoy a holiday at Sheep Cote.
