About this property
Nestled in the quiet Ryedale village of Harome is this romantic single-storey retreat, Foxglove Cottage. The exceptional accommodation offers a welcoming base for a couple looking to explore the North York Moors National Park. Be welcomed into a private front patio area, complete seating where you can enjoy an afternoon picnic on a summer's day, whilst a communal laundry room rests to the side of the property. Step inside this attractive holiday home and admire the themes of ocean blue throughout as you explore the well-equipped kitchen and living/dining room, two quaint spots where you can rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal for two as you delight in an intimate date night over a bottle of wine before snuggling up on the sofa, letting the electric fire create a romantic ambiance. As the evening draws to a close, withdraw to an inviting double bedroom with a hot cup of tea as you curl up with a good book, whilst completing the interior, you'll find a sumptuous shower room with a spacious walk-in shower for your morning soak. Get better acquainted with your surroundings and roam around the ancient cobbled streets of Harome, finding two award-winning inns, one with a Michelin starred restaurant, here you can enjoy a night away from the kitchen for an evening of luxury.

Karen
It was perfectly positioned for all our day trips and a short stroll from the pretty village. The furniture, including the bed, was comfortable and we loved the decor, which made us feel cosy. Our only small suggestion would be a larger mirror on the bedroom, as once we had showered it was impossible to see in the bathroom mirror. Fantastic stay and we hope to be back soon for more drives and walks in the glorious countryside. .

Itâs our second stay at this property in a delightful village where I was lucky enough to watch the aurora dancing across the village.
