1 bedroom Cottage near Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, England

This stylish holiday retreat for two sits amongst open countryside on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. Enjoy walks from the property to the summit of Roseberry Topping, where the panoramic views are spectacular, or join the Cleveland Way which passes along the foot of the hill. You’ll also be within 30 miles of the popular seaside resorts of Staithes and Whitby. In the evenings, dine alfresco or soak in your private hot tub, taking in your tranquil surroundings.

The holiday home has a striking, black, wood-clad exterior and is surrounded by open countryside. Inside, the layout is open plan, and large windows and bi-fold doors really make the most of the far-reaching vistas. The main living space comprises a lounge/kitchen/diner with contemporary furniture and beautiful wooden flooring with underfloor heating. Relax here, after a day of adventure, cooking up a storm in the sleek kitchen area and dining together at the stylish breakfast bar. Chill out on the sofa facing the window, or snuggle up on the large corner sofa to watch a film on the Smart TV. An elegant king-size bedroom and a spacious shower room complete the accommodation. Outside, the enclosed garden has a sunny patio with furniture and a fabulous hot tub boasting countryside views.
