The coast is only 13 miles off - fancy fish and chips in Scarborough after a day in the countryside? You'll need your car though - this place is properly rural.
Inside you'll find three bedrooms sleeping six guests total - one king-size with en-suite, one double and one small 4ft double. The open-plan kitchen/diner comes fully equipped with everything from induction hob to double fridge/freezer. The lounge features a log-burning stove and Smart TV with satellite WiFi (thank god, as mobile signal is patchy).
Nearby attractions include the North Yorkshire Moors Heritage Railway in Pickering (15 miles), Eden Camp museum (25 minute drive), Flamingoland theme park (20 minutes away) and Castle Howard stately home (35 minute journey). The beautiful market town of Thornton le Dale is just 12 miles from your doorstep.
Thompson Rigg House is perfect for families or friends wanting to escape the rat race. Soak in the hot tub after a day exploring, watch the donkeys in the fields and enjoy complete peace. The owners even live onsite if you need anything - but don't worry, they won't cramp your style.
