Overview
Property code: OC-56590

Castleton, set in the heart of the Esk Dale, with shop, tearoom and pubs a short walk from this grade II listed cottage. Why not take the train along the scenic railway line to Whitby and spend a day exploring the alleyways and cobbled streets which offer an eclectic mix of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Slightly further afield is the bustling market town of Pickering with its historic castle, Dalby Forest with miles of cycle tracks to enjoy and the beautiful Castle Howard. Other pretty market towns worth a visit include Helmsley and Malton which both have a variety of shops and local produce, Malton is fondly known as Yorkshire’s food capital and has regular food fayres. Not forgetting the nearby beaches for you to enjoy.

Step through the front door and you will find an inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave and a dining table in front of the double doors leading onto the patio. Cosy up on the stylish sofa and enjoy the warmth of the wood burner and catch up on your favourite TV show or plan your activities for the following day. Venture up the spiral staircase where you will find the gorgeous bedroom with a king-size bed, Smart TV, wonderful views down the valley and a stylish en-suite shower room with shower and WC.

Heading outside there is a lovely south facing decked area to sit and enjoy the fabulous scenery or why not enjoy al fresco dining with a charcoal BBQ on the enclosed patio area. This a great space to enjoy the dark skies enjoyed in this area or to star gaze. There is roadside parking outside the cottage for one car and nextdoor the sister property to Blakey View Cottage, Blakey View Bothy, which also sleeps 2.

This cottage is perfect for a holiday exploring the North York Moors. Clean, comortable & equipped with all you need for a great stay. One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in. The owner Jo was welcoming & helpful but never intrusive. We enjoyed visiting different locations every day with none being more than 45 minutes drive away. The tRead morerain ride to Whitby is definitely worth doing! We loved our week & would definitely return to Blakey View Cottage in the future. Hide

Blakey View cottage was absolutely perfect for our holiday. Decor and equipment were to a high standard as was cleanliness and comfort. The rear patio gives a lovely view towards the high moors and breakfast there in the mornings or a cup of tea/coffee in the evenings were always something to look forward to. A top quality cottage set in a beautifuRead morel area but still at an affordable price. For those who able to manage the little feature spiral staircase we would certainly recommend it. Hide
