Ryecroft Cottage

In a blissfully peaceful village but close enough to the hustle of market towns Helmsley and Malton, Ryecroft Cottage in Nunnington, North Yorkshire, promises a country getaway fit for all the family. The owners, parents themselves, have created a getaway in which both adults and children can enjoy, providing areas to gather together around the log burner and spaces to keep the kids happy – including two separate lounges and a playroom stocked with toys, books and DVDs while outside are football and badminton nets and a Wendy house. Three bedrooms, with flexible sleeping arrangements thanks to zip and link beds, are finished in a cosy country style as is the traditional-looking rustic kitchen, which is filled with all the mod cons. Wi-Fi is also included. There is plenty to entertain outdoors: relax in the large garden and take in scenic views across the paddock area, fields and river.
