The cottage
A delightful, Grade II listed, stone cottage on the edge of the attractive market town of Kirkbymoorside in Yorkshire.
Set over three floors, Crooked Cottage has been lovingly refurbished to provide comfortable, well-equipped accommodation, ideal for couples.
Built in the mid-1700s, the property is full of character and charm with a slightly quirky and interesting layout.
The ground floor comprises a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen with feature fireplace and lovely window seat, while the comfortable sitting room, with open ceiling, exposed beams and open fire, sits atop the property on the second floor.
A small courtyard garden is ideal for an evening tipple or two, and a short walk takes guests into the centre of this interesting and lively old town.
With the 18-hole Kirkbymoorside Golf Club 0.25 miles away, and the stunning countryside of the North York Moors, traditional seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough, and historic York all within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday base whatever the time of year.
