Nestled at the tranquil edge of Rillington village in North Yorkshire, this fascinating 18th-century former barn has been thoughtfully transformed into two spacious holiday cottages. Each property showcases a blend of original features and modern amenities, making it an inviting retreat for visitors. The cottages are designed with comfort in mind, featuring underfloor heating powered by renewable energy, ensuring a warm and eco-friendly environment. With the capacity to accommodate five guests, the cottage is perfect for families or small groups looking to explore the scenic coastal towns nearby.
The interior of the cottage boasts an expansive open-plan living and dining area, highlighted by a vaulted ceiling and rustic beams that enhance its character. A gas woodburner adds a cozy touch, and French doors open onto a patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces. The well-equipped kitchen area, complete with a tiled floor, makes meal preparation convenient. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, each furnished with a versatile 6ft zip-and-link bed, ensuring flexibility for different sleeping arrangements. One bedroom features an en-suite wet room, while a separate bathroom is equipped with essential accessibility features.
For those traveling with additional guests, an extra single bed is available upon request, allowing the cottage to comfortably sleep up to six people. The property includes parking for two cars and is designed with wheelchair access in mind, making it suitable for guests with mobility challenges. The enclosed lawned garden offers a peaceful outdoor space, complete with patio furniture for relaxation. Additional amenities such as Wi-Fi, Freeview TV, and a secure cycle store enhance the overall experience, ensuring that guests have everything they need for a pleasant stay.
Located conveniently close to local attractions such as Flamingo Land, Eden Camp, and Scampston Hall, the cottage serves as an ideal base for exploring the North Yorkshire region. The coastal towns of Scarborough and Whitby are within easy reach, while the historic city of York, known for its stunning minster and charming cobbled streets, is just a 30-minute drive away. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of a shop and a pub located only 300 yards from the property. For larger groups, Granary Cottage and Rose Cottage can be booked together, accommodating up to 13 guests through an inter-connecting door, making it a perfect choice for family gatherings or reunions.
