Boasting incredible, far-reaching views across the Vale of Pickering, West Cawthorne is perfectly located on the edge of the North York Moors National Park.

Positioned on a lush hilltop and teeming with diverse wildlife, it’s hard to imagine a more idyllic place to escape the world, particularly when there’s also a sumptuous selection of retreats for you to choose from.

For romantic couples, the A-Frame Cabins represent pure heaven itself; two lovingly handcrafted hideaways that are the first of their kind in the UK. You’ll find both nestled in their very own wildflower meadow, surrounded by vibrant natural beauty and joyous birdsong.

Inside await luxurious self-contained facilities and clean-lined furnishings that allow that incredible rural vista, showcased through expansive windows, to claim centre-stage… even when you’re snuggled up in the downy kingsize bed.

And if you feel like wandering outside at any point, you’ll be greeted by a gorgeous built-in deck, equipped with a dreamy sunken bath and a crackling firepit, to help you welcome the sunset and stars in style.

If you’re bringing the family along, you’ll have two beautiful barns to choose from. The South Range sleeps up to four adults and two children, while The West Range sleeps up to four guests in idyllic comfort. Both boast paradise-like gardens and indulgent hot tubs, for sunset-watching and stargazing alike.

A former blacksmith’s barn dating back to the 19th century, The South Range blends traditional elements and modern design features throughout, with enormous glass doors that invite the picture-perfect outside in. Elegant slumber-spots come in the form of two superking rooms with their own en-suite facilities, and a mezzanine floor with two cosy single beds.

More information

The West Range is the site’s newest retreat: an original 19th century stable block with many of its mesmerising original features carefully restored, creating a calm and welcoming space. Soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed beams evoke a feeling of travelling back in time, while huge bi-fold doors lead you straight into that magical landscaped garden. Two large en-suite bedrooms, meanwhile, ensure you’ll get a sound night’s sleep.

Whichever retreat you choose, you’ll be welcomed with a selection of locally-sourced essentials and tempting treats, all hand-picked by the friendly owners. What more could any self-respecting holidaymaker possibly need?

Well, how about ridiculously easy access to the North York Moors National Park, or the Great Yorkshire Forest, an 8,000-acre haven which can be reached in under 30 minutes?

You could also head for the sweeping Yorkshire coastline, pay a visit to the nearby towns and villages – including York and Helmsley – or even treat yourselves to Michelin-star dining.

Yet if all you feel like doing is brewing another pot of morning coffee, or pouring an evening glass of wine, and watching the many comings and goings of the local wildlife… then quite honestly, we wouldn’t blame you one bit.
