Pickering 2 miles; Scarborough 16 miles; York 25 miles.
The beautiful village of Thornton-le-Dale lies just two miles to the east of Pickering within The North York Moors National Park. Much of its charm comes from its complicated shape - a fascinating jumble of streams and paths and pretty houses with an attractive village green which still has its wooden stocks and a market cross. The village offers a selection of shops, pubs and tearooms. The nearby market town of Pickering offers a good range of amenities and the famous North York Moors Steam Railway. There are broad fields above and below the village and views to the south across the Vale of Pickering, whilst to the north is the Forestry Commission's Dalby Forest, with several excellent nature trails to be enjoyed. Further afield, but within driving distance, are the East Coast and The City of York.

Previous visitors' comments about The Stone House:
This is a wonderful large house for a family Christmas. It has a friendly atmosphere and is well equipped.
Prof Lockwood, Godalming, December 2009
The property was clean and well-equipped, with several extra touches turning a "good" property into an "excellent" one. The service from Sykes was expert, friendly and professional, as was the service from the cottage owners.

Ms Martin, Derby, October 2009
It was a return visit to the Stone House and we enjoyed it, and the surrounding area, as much as the 1st time. A very warm house with plenty of room for the 4 of us and everything was clean and bright.
