Granary Cottage is situated on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, seven miles west of Scarborough and the East Coast, and convenient for Whitby, Filey, Bridlington, Pickering, and York.
This lovely self-catering cottage is a beautifully renovated 18th Century barn nestled in a superb position overlooking the stunning Troutsdale countryside. The cottage has three bedrooms: one super-king (downstairs), one king (upstairs) and one twin (upstairs), each with en-suite bathrooms, sleeping six guests in comfortable luxury.
Layout:
Ground floor: stone floored entrance hall with beamed ceiling and feature oak staircase leading to gallery landing.
From the entrance hall, down a couple of steps and to the left, there are doors leading to a beautiful, expansive drawing room with sofas, writing desk & chair, a piano, and a feature Chesney stone fireplace housing an electric fire. There are windows on two sides giving spectacular views over the surrounding countryside, and French windows opening to the outside patio area.
To the right of those steps, there is a cloakroom, with a wash hand basin and W.C.
Turn left from entrance hall, up a couple of steps and into the dining kitchen, which has been custom built with Stirling & Jones oak units, granite work surfaces and oak strip flooring. Kitchen equipment includes fridge/freezer, electric oven and hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The kitchen is well-equipped for preparing, cooking, and serving meals for six guests.
The double doors from the dining kitchen open to a TV Lounge with a sofa and armchairs, coffee tables and a feature stone fireplace with electric fire.
From the TV lounge, up a step and into the large master bedroom with a super-king bed, bedside cabinets, walk-in wardrobe, sofa, dressing table and stool. The en-suite bathroom comprises a bath, shower, wash hand basin, W.C., heated towel rail and illuminated mirrored cabinet.
First floor - upstairs from entrance hall is a double bedroom with a king-size bed, bedside cabinets, wardrobe, chest of drawers. The en-suite bathroom comprises bath and shower over bath, W.C., and heated towel rail.
There is also a twin bedroom on this floor, with two single beds, wardrobe, bedside cabinets, chest of drawers and chair. The en-suite bathroom has bath and shower over bath, wash hand basin, W.C., heated towel rail and illuminated mirrored cabinet.
There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, and radiators on the upper floor.
The garden is not enclosed or fenced, and there is a patio area with garden furniture. Parking is available right next to the cottage.
Granary Cottage is located on a busy working farm, so dogs must be kept under control at all times. There is plenty of parking and outside space and garden (not enclosed) with garden furniture for those long summer evenings.
Pheasant shoots also take place from October to January, so the farmyard is busy when the guns meet in the morning, and again at lunchtime.
Heating and electricity included in your rental. We provide all bedding, bed linen and towels, TV, and WiFi (subject to fair usage policy).
Dogs are welcome at an added fee of £20 per dog.
Please note: Gardens/Outside areas not necessarily dog proof, even if fenced/walled, so dogs must be kept under control at all times, especially near farm animals.
The cottage was lovely and very well equipped. Once the heating was sorted out it was warm with lots of hot water. The organisation was excellent.
The drain smell was evident throughout our stay (4 nights) which did detract from the overall impression.
Also - once the cottage warmed up it was overrun by flies which kept the guests awake and then they died all over the surfaces/ carpets etc. Christina explained these are seasonal but they are quite a nuisance, especially at night.

A superb cottage. Very spacious, super setting. This was our third stay and we will be back next year
The Hob - difficult to know which hotplate is which.
Maybe some fly traps around the cottage.
These are only small points.

Space, layout of the whole house, location, bathrooms and the underfloor heating. Nice to get fresh eggs from the farm.
The electric hob was difficult to use. Markings were worn and the unit itself was slow to heat.
A check to make sure there were no flies in the two upstairs bedrooms before arrival of visitors would have been valuable. However this was dealt with promptly.

Beautiful isolated location for anyone wanting time away from all the hustle and bustle. We loved the cottage, the area has a large network of footpaths for walkers.
The animal and bird life around the area is in abundance.
3 minutes away from Hackness Grange for any potential wedding guests wanting somewhere nice to stay
All in all we really enjoyed your visit immensely.
The area has poor phone phone reception. (a good thing for us) but, happy with everything else.

Perfect holiday house for a family with three teenagers, loads of space and quiet areas. Christmas Tree was very much appreciated. Location was idyllic - beautiful walks and scenery on our doorstep. Loved our time there and will our home away from home when were in North Yorkshire next!
WIFI a bit sketchy and unreliable. Seemed to be a curfew or times when we had no wifi.

Fantastic space, wonderful location.
The duvets were extremely heavy and hot for the time of year. We all found them the same, perhaps lighter types of duvets and spring/summer ones would be ideal.
We struggled to turn the showers in the main side of the building to cold, it took quite some strength and so may need to be looked at.
Everything else was just great and will be recommending the cottage to friends and hope to come back again soon!
Cancellation: The Holidaymaker is liable for the total hire charge unless written notice of the intention to cancel the booking is received at least eight weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday. The deposit paid to confirm the booking, and other monies paid, will only be refunded if the Owner is able to re-let the holiday cottage for the period of the holiday let. In the event of re-letting, the Owner will retain the sum of 100GBP to cover administrative costs and (subject to deduction of that sum) refund to the Holidaymaker the balance of monies received from the Holidaymaker, or the sum received from re-letting whichever sum shall be the lower. Every effort will be made to re-let a cancelled booking, but the Holidaymaker is advised to take out holiday insurance to cover that eventuality.
