“A Wonder to Behold”

Forgive me if I overdo it on the superlatives front, but we've just returned home having had one of the most enjoyable and relaxing weeks ever at Kingfisher Cottage. Situated in the heart of The Great Yorkshire Forest, my wife and I honestly couldn't have wished to have found a more perfect place for a last-minute getaway. It's in the gorgeous wooded grounds of a big old country house, with trees and plants aplenty as well as babbling brooks, its very own lake and wildlife everywhere you look ...

Forgive me if I overdo it on the superlatives front, but we've just returned home having had one of the most enjoyable and relaxing weeks ever at Kingfisher Cottage. Situated in the heart of The Great Yorkshire Forest, my wife and I honestly couldn't have wished to have found a more perfect place for a last-minute getaway. It's in the gorgeous wooded grounds of a big old country house, with trees and plants aplenty as well as babbling brooks, its very own lake and wildlife everywhere you look. The electronically gated entry meant that our little dog could run around to his heart's content without any fear of him running off and he thoroughly enjoyed all of the nearby walks and trails that truly are in abundance. The cottage itself has everything you could possibly wish for in terms of comforts and necessities, although be aware that there's absolutely no mobile signal to be had due to the cottage’s very remote location. Internet access is limited, but frankly, we found that totally to our liking as we wanted an escape from everything for the week. The nearby market town of Pickering is great for any supplies that you might need and your hosts, Ian & Linda, are just great, always being on hand to offer any help or assistance should it be required. You almost certainly need a car in order to get around and the gardens are probably not the easiest to fully enjoy and appreciate if you have mobility issues. Also, be wary of sat nav directions. Ours took us down a particularly non-vehicle friendly track when we first arrived, but other than that, this place is just idyllic and is hopefully somewhere that we shall be returning to again and again. Utterly fabulous!

The property

Tucked away in the heart of Dalby Forest, is this romantic retreat for two set within the owners' beautiful 6-acre grounds in North Yorkshire.

This semi-detached property rests across the courtyard from the B+B with access to a shared tennis court and the tranquil surroundings of the gardens, with an idyllic beck flowing through, offering a soothing spot to sit and relax amidst a birdwatching haven.

Enjoy the opportunity to park for free and join one of the cycling trails in the forest; at night you can benefit this light pollution free zone and truly be at one with nature in a peaceful escape for two.

Step into the living room, which benefits an open-plan layout, bright and airy with enhanced colour schemes inviting you in.

The kitchen offers a clean, crisp finish with modern appliances getting you through your stay with comfort and ease, whilst the dining area provides a lovely space to sit together and enjoy a candlelit dinner.

The owners' B+B comprises a licensed bar, so should you get down to the last drop of wine and don't fancy venturing out to the off-license or nearest pub, join the guests across the way for a thirst-quenching beverage.

The cottage is self-catering, yet if you seek a break from the kitchen one morning, the owners are happy to provide breakfast on request over in the guest house.

This wonderful holiday let boasts a double room with an en-suite bathroom sporting a contemporary style with neutral coloured tiles on the walls.

Benefit an afternoon out on the patio during the spring and summer months, sit and ooze in the calm ambience unspoilt by an enveloping area of natural beauty.

Take the time to discover the wider region with your loved one; the North York Moors National Park offers breath-taking scenery.

About the location

LOCKTON

Pickering 5 miles.

An unspoilt rural village of great charm, boasting a village square, church and even an ancient well. Lockton’s church, St Giles, has a 15th century tower and medieval nave and chancel. Lockton is just 5 miles from Pickering, the charming market town which marks the official gateway to the beautiful North York Moors National Park. Attractions include the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway where Harry Potter fans can explore some of the locations used in the filming of the Philosopher’s Stone. The Beck Isle Museum with its unique collection of black and white photography and displays of rural life is also worth a visit. The outstanding North York Moors with rolling hills, valleys, rivers and abundant wildlife lead all the way to the beautiful Yorkshire Coast, and the City of York is just over half an hour by car.
