Goaf Cottage

In a county of hills, dales and sandy beaches, you will find the moors village of Glaisdale and nestled in a sleepy lane sits Goaf Cottage, an old farm building converted into a gorgeous contemporary home. The cottage brings creative energy to the North York Moors and with its picturesque views, is an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Tenderly brought back to life by its architect owners, Goaf Cottage has been restored and resurrected in keeping with its heritage. Step into the spacious hallway with its original exposed stone wall and an industrial-style galleried landing. Kick off your shoes at the door and breeze into the sitting-room, gather in front of the wood-burner which brings warmth to chilly evenings and makes Goaf Cottage as cosy a winter retreat as it is a summer getaway. A handy door opens out onto the large patio. Eclectic artwork is dotted all around the cottage. Steps lead down to the charming kitchen/diner, which uses unusually sourced materials including the dining-table with its stylish concrete top. Packed with everything you need to enjoy a self-catering holiday and graced with large French doors opening to the patio and overlooking the verdant countryside the kitchen is a place to gather, reflect and plan tomorrow's adventures.

When night time beckons, wander up to the two welcoming bedrooms. There is a slight slope to the ceilings which all adds to the cottage ambiance (please take care). Both bedrooms are artfully decorated and perfect for lazy mornings with the paper. The double bedroom and twin bedroom have crisp linens and fluffy pillows inviting a night of restful slumber. Two shower-rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, will invigorate even the weariest of guests. Outdoors the patio with its large table, sunbeds and comfy sofa, has everything you need to enjoy a fix of wonderful fresh Yorkshire air and amazing views. Then tomorrow head beachwards towards Whitby and your toes will be sandy in no time.
