The cottage is well-equipped with cooking facilities, a woodburner, and entertainment options like DVDs and board games. Some guests missed having a proper shower, which affects the score slightly, but the range of amenities is generally appreciated.

About this property
A quaint, compact Grade II listed, semi-detached, former coaching inn, close to the centre of the pretty village of Wrelton. Full of character, the cottage has flagged floors, beamed ceilings and an original cast iron range. The open plan living area has a cosy woodburning stove, perfect for winter nights, whilst outside, the sunny south-facing patio is lovely for relaxing on a summer's evening. A perfect hideaway for a romantic week away! This small but very comfortable and charming property is surrounded by nearby market towns and the stunning countryside of the North York Moors. The historic minster city of York and the east coast are both within very easy reach and well worth a visit. A great base for touring round the whole area. Note: This property is next to Ref. 1577 and booked together they can accommodate 7 people.
Just three miles from the historic market town of Pickering is the small, pretty village of Wrelton. Clustered around two village greens where the annual summer fete is held every August, this charming settlement is composed of a variety of small shops and an excellent pub which serves meals. Wrelton offers great walking in the local countryside and is within easy distance of the North York Moors which provide a stunning backdrop to any rambling trip. The market towns of Helmsley and Malton are nearby whilst just three miles away visitors can enjoy the local steam railway and Pickering Castle. The historic city of York is within a reasonable distance and offers an array of historic attractions, including the medieval shopping street, the Shambles.
