Applewood Holiday Cottage in North Yorkshire

This pretty, single-storey stable conversion comprises a spacious open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room and bedroom with en-suite shower room. Multiple skylights fill the cottage with sunlight during the day and when the night draws in, guests can get cosy around the sitting room's multi-fuel burning stove. One of Applewood's best features has to be its beautiful garden with pergola and garden furniture, which is the perfect place to relax on a summer's evening.

Applewood is located in the picturesque village of Harome, which is nestled between the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Harome is only two miles from the market town of Helmsley, which boasts a wide selection of independent shops, bakeries and cafes, as well as an arts centre and a medieval castle. The area will appeal to walkers, history enthusiasts and food lovers. Harome itself is the home of the Michelin Star-awarded Star Inn as well as the equally renowned Pheasant Hotel, both of which are a short walk from the cottage and serve superb food and drinks. Both restaurants are very popular and require booking well in advance. The Pheasant will provide breakfast for non-residents if required, although booking is advisable.
