Characterful three-bedroom single-storey barn conversion within the small village of Newton-on-Rawcliffe, just on the doorstep of the attractive North York Moors National Park, roughly 30 miles north-east of the city of York. Less than 5 miles north of the busy market town of Pickering, you’ll have plenty to do and explore right on your doorstep. Head just 3 miles north of the village and you can be walking in Cropton Forest. Travel another 18 miles and you’ll reach the fishing town of Whitby or you can travel there by steam train on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, passing by beautiful moorland scenery. A little further down the coast visit Scarborough (23 miles) with its two sandy beaches, amusements and castle.

A beautifully renovated barn, complete with an open beamed ceiling, exposed stone walls and a large fireplace. Step inside the convenient entrance area where you can leave your boots and coats after a walk, and make your way into the open-plan living space, featuring a spacious lounge with a Smart TV and wood burner. This is the perfect place to relax with your family or friends at the end of the day, planning the next day's outing. The separate kitchen just off the lounge is generously equipped with all your home comforts, ready for you to create a feast. There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with space to store away your things; chose from a double room, a twin room or a family room which features a double bunk bed with a double on the bottom and a single bunk above. Freshen up in either of the two bathrooms: one with a walk-in shower or one with a shower over the bath.

Heading outside there is a large communal garden with well-stocked borders and wildflower patches with strategically placed benches where you can while away the hours with a good book or just admire the scenery. There is also a fabulous communal pool house with changing facilities and showers; take a dip in the 6-metre exercise pool and finish off in the sauna and hot tub.

Loved this property. Good layout, well appointed, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the spa facilities. Found accessing Pickering for an evening meal, by taxi easy and reasonably priced. Keen walkers we took advantage of a stretch of the tabular hills walk out of the door. We enjoyed a pint or two in the pub next door

Very good stay and well taken care of by the owners especially with some special requests for my 93 year old mum who is in a wheelchair. Will definitely stay at this property again mums health permitting. Everything was perfect and a very nice cottage to stay in.

The cottage was very nice and well equipped, everything we needed was there. However, the metal beds were very uncomfortable and would help if replaced. The Pool could have been opened longer so we could use early morning or later when back from our days out. The village is very quiet, no shops, Pickering 5 miles away. We went to one pub in the vilRead morelage for a meal (6 of us plus 1 baby) and were told we weren't local and did not have enough food as it was curry night and told we had to leave. Hide

Swift cottage was a fantastic place to stay. Most welcoming of our 2 dogs too( other cottages decided a German Shepherd wasn't welcome even though not stated on their website) so glad we came here. Lovely pool, hot tub and sauna and beautiful gardens to sit in. Kitchen fully equipped. Great location for visiting other places such as York, Whitby anRead mored Scarborough. Would highly recommend.

The double bed was extremely hard and not at all comfortable and the shower room was constantly wet all over the floor. I know its a wet room but a shower screen would have kept water away from the toilet and sink areas. However overall the cottage was lovely clean and cosy and the leisure facilities were a big plus for my two grandchildren.
