Luxury couple's country retreat in spectacular location in the North York Moors

Postgate Nook is a one bedroomed holiday cottage within the beautiful, peaceful setting of Postgate Farm, set up by the owners to provide a luxurious, peaceful setting for a romantic break for couples. The Nook is full of character, featuring exposed beams, stonework and wood burning stove. Downstairs, Postgate Nook has an open plan living room, kitchen and dining area with ample facilities for 2 persons. New for 2024 is the newly fitted luxury kitchen with granite worktops. Upstairs there is a double bed, en-suite toilet and luxurious free standing bath area. The bath has a shower attachment but not a stand up shower. Off-road parking for one family car is provided, and outside is a private sitting area with stunning views over Glaisdale Dale. There is a TV with Freesat satellite TV, FREE superfast wi-fi broadband and a DVD player with a range of DVDs.

Note all linen and towels are included.

Note Postgate Nook may also be suitable for parents with one young infant (plenty of space to set up a travel cot either upstairs or downstairs). Travel cot and high chair available on request.

Postgate Farm is set in a beautiful, peaceful location in Glaisdale Dale, within the fabulous North York Moors National Park, yet less than half an hour from Whitby and the beautiful Cleveland coastline. The cottage has stunning views to the South over the Dale to the forests and moorlands beyond. The Dale itself is served by just one road which means very little traffic, yet is only a mile from the thriving village community of Glaisdale and all its amenities including the village pub, award winning butchers, post office and general store, tennis court, cricket ground and the Robinson Institute, home of the renowned Esk Valley Theatre Company. The village has a railway station and is served by local bus routes. Glaisdale is an ideal holiday location, with stunning walks and cycling available without even getting in your car. A little further afield are other parts of the North York Moors, with pretty villages such as Goathland, Grosmont, Egton, Lealholm, Rosedale Abbey and Egton Bridge just a few minutes drive or a healthy hike away, or by using the picturesque Esk Valley Railway, which runs from Whitby to Middlesborough, and also connects to the famous North York Moors Railway, complete with steam trains, connecting to Pickering. The local bus service connects to Whitby, and the other villages of the North York Moors.The towns of Pickering in the heart of the North York Moors, and Whitby on the coast are less then half an hour's drive away and can also be accessed by rail as mentioned above. York and Scarborough lie approximately 50 minutes drive from Glaisdale. Whether you want to see the beauty of the North York Moors with its expansive moorlands with hidden valleys and waterfalls and industrial heritage or the stunning Cleveland coastline, Glaisdale is an ideal base for your stay.

For food and drink lovers we are surrounded by great pubs and restaurants, and for those wanting to cook for themselves, great suppliers such as award winning butchers, fishmongers and smokehouses.

Please note we also have our sister property Postgate Barn next door. This adjoins Postgate Nook, and has its own separate private garden and separate private entrance, but the two outside areas can be linked if required by opening a gate. Larger groups of up to 10 people could be accommodated by booking both properties.

ACCESSIBILITY GUIDE
The property is a conversion of traditional farm buildings. As such, there may be some compromises to accessibility. Car parking is approximately 60m from the entrance door and access to the property is along a path which is reasonably level and includes a ramp, however there are 2 steps to access the property. The bedroom, bathroom and toilet are on the first floor, accessed by stairs.

PETS
As we are a working farm, unfortunately we do not accept pets.
