A Grade II listed property retaining its original 18th century period features and oozing with character, Cruck Cottage offers a peaceful and homely atmosphere on the southern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Located in a sleepy residential village just a few steps away from the trout-filled River Dove and overlooking a thunderous weir, Cruck Cottage is a popular self-catering cottage with many famous local attractions only a short drive, walk or cycle ride away.

With one double and one twin bedroom plus a bathroom on the first floor and another double bedroom and en-suite shower/WC on the ground floor, families or two/three couples are comfortably accommodated. The ground floor offers a hall/dining room and double living room/lounge with open fires at either end. A cottage-style kitchen with stable door opens on to a riverside lawn. Winter nights are warmed with roaring log fires.

A largely lawned private garden surrounds the cottage providing plenty of safe space for kids or pets. A small summer house enjoys fine views of a field and the nearby weir of the River Dove. A meandering stream runs along the entire length of the garden and flows to a nearby watermill. A lawn/patio at the rear of the cottage offers a perfect spot for evening barbecues.

Cruck Cottage is an exceptionally characterful holiday home ideally suited to those looking for an authentic countryside retreat which reflects the ancient heritage of the local Ryedale region. Although reflective of the past, we've ensured we haven't ignored the present - so the cottage comes equipped with luxuries such as a home computer with Wi-fi internet (great for researching local information, events and things to do) plus Freeview TV - all at no extra charge. A basket of firewood is also included in the rental price during winter months.

To the east is Pickering, which offers a swimming pool, cinema, trout fishery, a castle, antique shops and is the home of the famous North Yorkshire Moors Railway – a ‘must-do’ journey on a steam train.

One of the UK’s premier theme parks - Flamingo Land - is only 16 km away, whilst the golden sand beaches of Scarborough are within 45 minutes drive. A short drive away are Castle Howard, Byland and Rievaulx Abbeys, Robin Hood’s Bay, Whitby and Lightwater Valley. Last but not least is one of England’s finest National Parks, the North York Moors - roaming sheep, wild heather, picture-postcard villages and great countryside for walking and touring.
