Resting in the rural village of Thornton-Le-Dale in North Yorkshire is The Old Coach House, a charming, sympathetically restored barn.
Well-positioned to explore the delights of the North York Moors National Park and the coastline, whilst adorning a stone-fronted exterior and original features throughout, The Old Coach House makes the ideal base for a family getaway, inviting four guests.
Benefit from two off-road parking spaces before entering the home, reaching the spacious open-plan living space, boasting lofty A-framed ceilings, an original fireplace with electric fire, plush seating, a formal dining table, and a well-equipped kitchen; here you can spend time as a family as you prepare meals, dine, and unwind.
When sleep calls, retreat to two well-appointed bedrooms, including a double with en-suite, and a twin with en-suite, the latter ideal for the children of your party.
Awaken to a coffee upon the front courtyard, before exploring the village and surrounding attractions; start off by grabbing a bite to eat at Lavenders Tea Rooms or the Brandysnap Bistro, before grabbing the essentials at the nearby Nisa supermarket.
Travel the national park, starting with a stroll through Ellerburn Bank Nature Reserve, or a nature-filled hike through the North Riding Forest Park, before an exhilarating, family-friendly afternoon at Go Ape Dalby.
Flamingo Land Resort is also nearby, possible to reach whilst aiming for the Howardian Hills AONB, home to Castle Howard, a stunning stately home, and The Yorkshire Arboretum, sweeping with woodland and walking paths.
For a day at the beach, head to Scarborough, with the chance to hike up to the castle, visit Peasholm Park and its oriental landscape, or book tickets for one of the many events held at the Scarborough Open Air Theatre.
Round off your break by touring York and its city walls, brush up on your historical knowledge at the York Castle Museum, discover the remains of St Mary's Abbey, or enjoy an immersive afternoon of archaeology at DIG: An Archaeological Adventure.
Experience all of this at The Old Coach House.
