Description:
Grade II listed 18th century riverside cottage. Beamed throughout and oozing character.
Vacation Rental Description
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.
Facilities
On opening the front door into the cottage, charm and authenticity are instantly evident, as is the original 'cruck' beam. A spacious hallway opens through to a delightful lounge/living area which is traditionally furnished and comes complete with two fireplaces. Upstairs, two bedrooms (one twin, one double), each with an exposed ‘truss’ beam, provide a peaceful place to sleep. On the first floor a beamed bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath complete with washbasin and WC, whllst an en-suite double bedroom on the ground floor has a shower, washbasin and WC. Cruck Cottage has a private lawned garden with fruit trees and summer house. The garden offers a safe spot for kids to play and dogs to run. Stable doors open out from the kitchen to a feature pond, which adjoins the lawn and Mill Race - a bubbling stream which flows from the River Dove and its cascading weir. Off-road parking is available at the front of the cottage.
Activities
Cruck Cottage is located only a few minutes walk from the traditional market town of Kirkbymoorside. The town has a good range of shops and amenities including five pubs, a choice of restaurants, cafés, a squash club, tennis courts, children’s park, sports field and golf course. 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.
Travel Options
- Travel Info: Easily accessible by car, Cruck Cottage is located on the north side of the A170 Thirsk to Scarborough road, just 1 km east of the picturesque market town of Kirkbymoorside, in the village of Kirkby Mills/Keldholme. Heading northbound on the A1(M) or M1, leave the motorway at Junction 45 on to the A64 heading towards York. Several very scenic routes lead from the A64 to Kirkbymoorside via either Castle Howard (recommended), Malton or Pickering (each take approx. 1 hour from the M1). Heading southbound on the A1 from northeast England, take the A168 to Thirsk, then the A170 towards Scarborough via the market hamlet of Helmsley (approx. 45 minutes).

Owners Profile
Professional Holiday Rental Property Owner and Tour Operator
I'm originally from North Yorkshire and have spent my life working in the travel and hospitality business - as a rental property owner, tour operator and as a tour guide. I've been lucky enough to travel all over the world and now spend a lot of my time in Africa (Morocco and Tanzania) when not in North Yorkshire (or my other UK base in Surrey). I set my standards high and always aim to deliver first-rate customer service, with prompt speed of reply, fair prices and a high quality product. As well as running Specialist Africa, a UK-based Tour Operator which specialises in Tanzania and Morocco, I also co-own Riad Africa, a beautiful rental property in Marrakech and more recently a desert camp in the Sahara and a lodge in the High Atlas Mountains.
