Set all on one level, this property benefits from a ramp leading from the driveway across the lawn to the front door, and has ground floor facilities, suitable for guests with restricted mobility.

Nearby Scarborough is a popular and historic resort, offering two sandy bays, a long promenade, and the ruins of Scarborough Castle, perched high on the cliffs above. Stroll through the colourful ornamental gardens of Peasholm Park on the North Bay, or South Cliff Gardens above the historic Spa complex, visit the Rotunda Museum or have fun on the amusements. Culture lovers will be impressed by the renowned Stephen Joseph Theatre in the Round, which features excellent productions, or the large, open-air theatre which hosts many well-known bands.

To the west of the property, you can find the picturesque village of Thornton-le-Dale and the market town of Pickering, which has the North York Moors Steam Railway taking visitors all the way to Whitby on the coast. Dalby Forest can also be found close to Pickering, with its cycle hire shops, visitor centre, cycling and walking trail routes, all within a 30-minute drive of the property. The surrounding countryside is well worth exploring, with its heather-clad moors, delightful coastal villages and a wonderful network of footpaths and trails to follow.
