Description

The Byre is a charming, single-storey cottage nestled in the heart of Great Broughton, North Yorkshire. With convenient off-road parking, this delightful retreat is perfect for couples seeking a peaceful escape in a picturesque country setting. Upon entering this abode, you will be greeted by a beautifully presented open-plan area, where you can unwind on the plush sofa and enjoy your favourite shows on the TV. On chillier evenings, the woodburning stove provides a warm atmosphere, perfect for snuggling up with a good book. The kitchen area is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals, which can be enjoyed in the dining area. Retire to the double bedroom after a long day of exploring the local area; this room boasts an en-suite with a walk-in shower, providing a private space to freshen up each morning. Step outside to the non-enclosed front patio, where you can enjoy your morning coffee or dine alfresco on warmer days. The patio furniture provides a relaxing spot to sit back and unwind, taking in the peaceful surroundings of Great Broughton. Venture out of your peaceful haven to explore the local area, where you'll find the breathtaking Rievaulx Abbey, a former Cistercian monastery, steeped in history and set in a tranquil valley. Spend an afternoon strolling through the romantic ruins, taking in the stunning architecture and absorbing the peaceful atmosphere. A short distance away, you'll find the National Trust's Rievaulx Terrace, offering sweeping views across the Ryedale countryside and the abbey below. The terrace is home to a pair of Grecian-style temples, adding an air of elegance to your scenic walk. The Byre is a walker’s paradise, with 1100 miles of footpaths in the North York Moors National Park, two of which go through or next to the property. Many of the walks are challenging, but there are also gentle walks around, including in our own 42 acres of hilly woodland and rough pasture. The Coast to Coast Walk, the Cleveland Way, and the Lyke Wake Walk all pass along Hasty Bank just about half a mile above the property.

There is also fantastic cycling in the area, although much but not all of it requires either strong legs or an e-bike. After a day of exploring, return to the inviting comfort of The Byre, your home away from home in the heart of North Yorkshire.

Absolutely lovey .

Comfortable and so warm I didn't need to use the log burner once, the large glass door is great and my dog would just sit and watch the wildlife I love the Guinea fowl greeting us every morning. Fabulous walks on the door step I love Stokesley Yarm and Thirsk all realy nice for an afternoon visit. Brew & Bite in Thirsk is great and dog friendly. I would definitely recommend this little gem .

The Byre is a lovely compact holiday cottage for two people.

There is a good central heating system and also a wood burning stove with all the logs you need so you will never be cold in the winter time. The seating is comfy and so is the double bed. The cottage is set in the countryside and has access to many walks, it's also only a few miles to the coast and has plenty of pubs close by. Outside the cottage is a garden area where guinea fowl roam freely together with rabbits and pheasants, it's very entertaining. We felt very relaxed and comfortable and will definitely return. Thank you . Brent & Janet Helps

Fabulous little cottage, warm, welcoming and ideal base for both walking and sightseeing.

It was lovely to meet Phillip and learn the history of the cottage. We explored the ample woodlands and was lucky to see an owl, as well as the resident chickens, guinea fowl and rabbits. Our dog loved to sit by the door and watch the going ons outside. The accommodation was cosy, clean and had the most comfortable bed for an excellent night's sleep. We unfortunately didn't get to use the woodburner as the heating was perfect for the time of year. The kitchen had everything we needed, nice to see an airfryer. The shower worked well and there is ample space to store clothing. This is wonderful get away if you want to escape to a rural part of a beautiful countryside.
