Holiday cottage in Masham, North Yorkshire - Sleeps 4 (FCH94559)

Retreat with your friends or relatives to this inviting conversion on the edge of the North Yorkshire market town of Masham. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom, single-storey retreat is perfect for a small family or couples eager to immerse themselves in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales. Set on the edge of a campsite, the hideaway is in a great position for walks and cycle rides and has a courtyard garden to return to for outdoor relaxation on fine days.

Step inside the red-brick retreat to find accommodation with an abundance of character, as well as contemporary touches, such as underfloor heating. Vaulted ceilings and wooden beams reveal some of the history of this building, which was once a coal store. Today it presents an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can relax, chat and enjoy quality time together when you are not out and about.

Find films on the Smart TV in the lounge, cook up delicious meals in the kitchen, then dine together inside or out. When you are ready to turn in for the night, make your way through to one of the two super-king-size bedrooms. Each of these can also be arranged as a twin if discussed in advance. There is also a family shower room at the cottage.

Enjoy tasty summer lunches made with fresh Yorkshire produce out in your courtyard garden. Have a cocktail out here under the stars when the sun has set on summer nights. Spend time in Masham, 0.5 miles away, where you can shop, play golf and take a tour of two different breweries. While away an afternoon in Richmond, 14.

5 miles away, wandering the picture-postcard town and visiting the impressive castle. From here you can also stroll along the River Swale to the ruins of Easby Abbey and picnic in the attractive grounds.
