Our home is an old farmhouse that has been made into a family home. There are four comfortable bedrooms in the house - one ensuite, three with double beds and one with twin beds. Downstairs is a big family kitchen/dining room with an Aga and large glass doors onto the garden. There is a very comfortable lounge and a playroom full of toys. There is also a small study, utility room & downstairs loo. Outside in the garden is a converted barn which we use as a big playroom. There are sofas, a wood burning stove and a table tennis table. If you are a large party young people can sleep in this room - there are sofas/beds but no curtains. There is also a further bedroom outside with a double bed. The house is very child friendly and comfortable. Outside it is just great for kids with the shallow river crossed by the footbridge, the tennis court, the trampoline and just lots of space. More than 10 people can stay here if you don't mind sleeping in the garden room.

Our house is lived in rather than immaculate

We can also offer our two cars - a 7-seater Ford Galaxy and a Skoda Fabia for exchange.

Our house is in a very rural and beautiful location within the North York Moors National Park. You will see green hills out of every window. It has no immediate neighbours and is surrounded by gardens and 15 acres of our own land. At the bottom of the garden there is a tennis court and shallow river with a footbridge to another wilder garden. If you like the countryside, birds and wildlife it is really a magical place.

Whitby & the North Yorkshire Jurassic coast, York, Newcastle and the Yorkshire Dales are all about an hour away. Within half an hour is Dalby forest with great moutnain biking trails and a Go Ape treetop experience, The NYM Steam Railway, two theme parks - Flamingoland and Lightwater Valley - and a lot of wonderful walks. There are also some very good resturants and pubs in the area. The nearest town is Helmsley which is a very picturesque small market town
