The Hayloft at Flamborough Rigg

The Hayloft at Flamborough Rigg, Flamborough Rigg Cottage, Middlehead Road, Pickering, Yorkshire, England

On and on the road goes, deeper into the woods until the single track stops at a 1820s farmhouse surrounded by open fields. The gravelled drive crunches nicely under the tyres and the kitchen sports a hamper of local goodies (and, on occasion, home-brewed elderflower champagne!). Philip and Caroline love making guests feel at home and you may freely roam their super big garden with orchard, vegetable patch, loungers and barbecue; they will also pick you up after a long walk over the rolling North Yorkshire Moors. Come back to deep comfort. Snuggle up with a book in front of the wood-burner, watch a DVD, play a round of cards at the chunky dining table. There are quirky touches like old Singer sewing machines as table bases, a shelf of vintage china in the small, well-thought out kitchen, and modern art on the walls. Bedrooms feel light and fresh; the double has new oak furniture and funky wallpaper, the twin has pine beds, glowing lights and cheerful cushions. Jump in the car for a trip to the coast or wander round the charming market town of Helmsley. The Hayloft feels as though it's in the middle of nowhere and yet moors, dales and the sea are wonderfully close.

Home-cooked dinners available.
