Surrounded by the North York Moors National Park, this 200-year-old, detached, traditional Yorkshire cottage, which was fully refurbished and extended in 2020, is simply delightful. Tiggywinkle Cottage was named by a walker during the 1950s who took time to sit and draw the property. The villagers fell in love with the name and so it remains, along with the original pencil sketch which now hangs within the cottage.
On arrival visitors are welcomed into the open plan living area. This room oozes character with its low ceilings and stone floors, tall visitors will need to take care! There is a country kitchen and large comfortable sofas around the wood burner in the open plan living area.

You will find everything you need to cook your favourite holiday recipes whilst the dining area provides comfortable seating for four. A ground floor bedroom offers a zip and link option and an en-suite bathroom, both bedrooms have pocket spring mattresses and feather down duvets. The vaulted ceiling with Velux window gives this room a lovely feel and a door leads to the patio where you could enjoy an evening tipple or an early morning coffee, watching the sun come up over the National Park.
To the first floor is a second bedroom with lovely views and a zip and link super king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom. Both bedrooms are beautifully decorated and furnished to a very good standard. With deep mattresses and luxurious bed linen you are assured a great night’s sleep, ensuring you will wake refreshed and ready for another day. To the front is a pretty paved area with seating.

It's a lovely cottage in a stunning location.
It's a lovely cottage in a stunning location. Really cosy, and sofa and beds are very comfy. Loved sitting outside in the sun in the mornings, listening to the birds. The pub next is wonderful, with a roaring fire in the bar. We had a gorgeous sunday roast there and it's very dog friendly.
