Settled amidst the rural countryside of the North York Moors National Park, in the charming village of Swainby, rests this contemporary twobedroom holiday home, Black Horse Cottage. Boasting a stylish, monochromatic interior, whilst maintaining the property’s original character with a warming open fire and exposed wooden beams, Black Horse Cottage makes a wonderful base for a family escape to the country. Kick off your muddy boots and unload your walking gear as you step inside the handy hallway of your new home-from-home. Follow the hallway through to the beautifully-appointed sitting room, stylishly laid out with plush velvet sofas and a chesterfield buttoned pouffe, enticing you to put your feet up and unwind with your favourite show on the big screen. When stomachs start to rumble, discover the well-equipped kitchen, where monochromatic fittings house all of the essentials to rustle up hearty meals that can be enjoyed on the nearby dining table. Climbing the stairs to the first floor, you’ll directly enter the sumptuous double bedroom, with an adjoining door providing access to a wellpresented twin room, offering the ideal sleeping quarters for a small family; both rooms benefit from access to their own en-suites, so there’ll be no queues when getting ready for bed! In the morning, enjoy a leisurely wake up before venturing outdoors to the rear courtyard to indulge in a steaming morning coffee amongst your peaceful rural surroundings. A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Swainby, where you’ll find a handful of essential amenities to ensure an enjoyable self-catered stay; refuel following a day of adventure with an indulgent bite to eat at The Black Horse Inn, treat yourself to a crisp pint of ale amongst the scenic greenery of the beer garden at Blacksmiths Arms, or stock up on essentials at the local village store. Avid historians will delight with a visit to the ruins of Whorlton Castle, boasting a fascinating history dating back to the 13th-century, whilst those looking for an outdoor adventure may prefer to explore the varying landscapes of the North York Moors National Park, stretching miles of heather moorland, towering woodland, and rolling dales waiting to be explored. Enjoy a trip to the nearby market town of Stokesley, or walk up to Cod Beck at Osmotherley – a lovely reservoir with scenic walks and great gastro pubs. With all of this and more, choose Black Horse Cottage as your base for your next retreat to North Yorkshire.
