About this property
Egton 1 mile. This superb, stone barn conversion is situated on a quiet country lane, mid-way between the pretty villages of Egton and Aislaby, in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. With glorious views from all windows, reaching across the Esk Valley, the property is the perfect place to stay for those wanting a peaceful and relaxing environment, while still being within a few minutes drive of the popular seaside town of Whitby and the many attractions this wonderful area has to offer. Beautifully presented, Coopers Barn has a spacious open plan living area, which incorporates a well-equipped, bespoke hand-built kitchen with wooden worktops and a Belfast sink. The dining table is in the middle and enables guests to enjoy a leisurely meal whilst soaking up the view; the comfortable sitting area has quality leather sofas and chairs. With great attention to detail throughout, the property boasts oak flooring downstairs and a unique, wrought-iron spiral staircase, designed and crafted at the local forge in Egton. This leads up to a mezzanine landing and two very pretty bedrooms, both with en-suites. Outside is a private cobbled courtyard - a sunny and sheltered spot to sit with a glass of wine, watch the wonderful sunsets or the steam trains passing in the valley below. There is also a furnished balcony outside the kitchen where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful views. The surrounding area is a walker's paradise, with a network of footpaths and trails through the stunning moorland scenery, including a 20-minute walk to the nearby pub, an excellent choice for good food. A visit to Whitby is a must, with its quaint narrow streets, famous abbey and long, sandy beaches. Wander down to the historic harbour, visit the Captain Cook Museum, or enjoy an evening's ghost walk! With the dramatic coastline to explore and the market towns of Pickering, Helmsley and Malton close by, Cooper's Barn provides an excellent base, all year round.

Hilary
The location was lovely: it was quiet, brilliant for watching birds and just beautiful, as well as being fairly central for lots of interesting places. Although the weather left a bit to be desired, we really enjoyed our week.

It had all the home comforts, beautifully furnished and well equipped. A perfect location for visits to Whitby, Scarborough,York, Pickering and a stones throw away from Grosmont and Goathland if you love the steam trains. The weather was kind to us so we were lucky to enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside from the raised patio. We visited Coopers Barn in 2016 and so glad we were able to return. Definitely one of our favourite places.

The views from the cottage are great and it is in a very good location to explore either by car or walking to Egton, with two good pubs, and along the Esk Valley. We will certainly look to return again ASAP.
