Full of character, charm and original period features, Ammonite Cottage offers a peaceful and homely atmosphere on the southern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Located in a sleepy residential village just a few steps away from the trout-filled River Dove and a thunderous weir, Ammonite is a popular self-catering cottage with many famous local attractions only a short drive, walk or cycle ride away.

With one double and one twin bedroom plus a bathroom on the first floor, the cottage is ideal for families or one or two couples. The ground floor offers spacious accommodation with a cosy and comfortable sitting room leading open-plan to a kitchen/dining room illuminated by natural sunlight. Winter nights are warmed with a roaring log fire in an original Yorkshire range fireplace.

At the rear of the cottage the flower-filled garden is a delight with a paved sunken patio perfect for evening barbecues. A secluded lawn provides plenty of safe space for kids or pets, whilst at the garden’s edge, a summer house looks out over a field to the weir of the River Dove. A meandering stream flows to the watermill next door completing the countryside scene.

Further details indoors:
Deceptively spacious on the ground floor, Ammonite has two large rooms – a lounge/sitting room and a kitchen/dining room. On opening the front door into the cottage, charm and authenticity are instantly evident. The original Yorkshire-range cast iron fireplace, one of only a handful remaining in the county, provides a grand focal point to a bright and airy beamed room.

Two ‘salt cupboards’ are set deep into the thick Yorkshire stone walls, whilst a wooden staircase leads up to the first floor landing. During the early part of the day the spacious and fully-fitted kitchen/dining room is often bathed in magnificent natural light from two large velux windows set into the sloping roof. Upstairs, two bedrooms, each with an exposed ‘truss’ beam, provide a peaceful place to sleep.

A white tiled bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath complete with an electric shower, washbasin and WC. Both heating and hot water are powered by electricity and a real log fire adds oodles of atmosphere.

Further details outdoors:
At the rear of the cottage, French doors open out from the kitchen onto a secluded walled patio which is colourfully paved in Indian stone. Bathed in sunlight for much of the day, the patio is a perfect spot for early evening BBQ's overlooking the enclosed stone walled garden and fruit trees.

At the end of the garden there is a summer house, carefully positioned overlooking the Mill Race, a bubbling stream which flows from the River Dove and its cascading weir - both only a 100 metres or so from the cottage.This is a view to linger over - with a sun downer in one hand, grab your binoculars in the other and search for kingfishers, ducks, moorhen and the resident farm chickens across the stream! At the front of the cottage, parking is available directly outside the front door, on the quiet village through road.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful cottage and will definitely return one day".

"Lovely place, we've enjoyed our stay very much".

"I was amazed at the variety of circular walks available from the cottage, and access to the National Park right from the doorstep - fantastic!"

"Nearly everything in the cottage felt new, yet it still felt very authentic at the same time - the PC was a nice touch and proved to be very useful".

"I never imagined we would be able to unwind so quickly after arriving from a long drive, but as soon as we lit the log fire and switched off the wall lights, we knew this would be a great week."
