Shippon

Tucked away on the outskirts of Beadlam is this characterful, single-storey cottage, Shippon. With gorgeous countryside views, open-plan layout and an excellent location for touring, the cottage welcomes two guests for a romantic holiday or solo travellers hoping to explore the beauty of North Yorkshire.

Step inside and be immediately wowed by the high ceilings, exposed brickwork, and wooden beams of Shippon, as well as the bonus of underfloor heating to warm tired feet. A light-filled, open-plan living space offers high-quality amenities to prepare your favourite meals, including an electric double oven, hob, and fridge, along with a dishwasher for stress-free clean ups.

Tuck into your home-cooked meal and plan your holiday adventures, before settling into the sofa in front of the TV or with a good book in hand; a large patio door frames the far-reaching rural views to aid relaxation! Why not step outside on summer evenings and admire the sunset with a glass of wine in hand?

As night falls, retire to the large bedroom with a king-size bed and convenient en-suite shower room, which is also a great place to kick-start your day with a hot and refreshing shower. The village of Nawton Beadlam hosts The Rose & Crown pub, Nawton Green Fisheries for takeaway fish and chips, and Indian restaurant, and Beadlam Grange Farmshop and Tea Room to pick up the essentials.

You'll be in a prime spot for exploring North York Moors National Park with its wooded river valleys, historic ruins, and picturesque villages; start in Helmsley, just a short drive west, home to Helmsley Castle ruins with walled gardens for picnics. Helmsley Open Air Swimming Pool, and the Cleveland Way walking trail starts here, a must for spectacular scenery.

The market town of Pickering rests near North Riding Forest Park for varied hiking and cycling trails, but if that's not your thing, admire the views from Pickering Castle or hop on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, a lovely way to relax and watch the dramatic landscapes unfold from your window. If you're looking for more local culture and heritage, the gorgeous city of York is within easy reach to wander the City Walls.
