Ryedale Cottage is a charming historic stone cottage ideal for couples or families who want the peace of a rural location without the isolation from sights and amenities. One of four lovely properties at Sproxton Hall Cottages (click through to the owner's website for more details), Ryedale can sleep four people in two bedrooms, with accommodation all at ground floor level for ease of access. The cottage can be booked on its own, or together with one or more of the other properties to accommodate extended families or groups of friends.
Sproxton Hall Cottages sit within the Howardian Hills National Landscape on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park. For guests who enjoy being outdoors, there is no better location because there is a wealth of activities nearby. A variety of footpaths, bridleways and mountain bike and road cycling routes create a beautiful lace through the countryside and across the moors, taking in fantastic sights and offering a path for every ability.
The picturesque market town of Helmsley is a popular dog friendly tourist town, and is only two miles from Ryedale Cottage. The majority of businesses here are owned and run by locals who offer an incredible array of goods and services. Stock up on freshly baked bread and locally reared meat, browse boutiques and gift shops and settle down at a cafe for a proper pot of tea and a generous wedge of cake. Helmsley's attractions include a castle, an open-air heated swimming pool (seasonal opening), and a beautiful walled garden. Nearby are the National Centre for Birds of Prey, Rievaulx Abbey and Sutton Bank Visitor Centre. Slightly further afield but still close enough for a fun day out, are Pickering steam railway, Castle Howard, the ancient city of York, the seaside resort towns of Whitby and Scarborough, and Herriot Country.
