Harvest Cottage

Harvest Cottage: North Yorkshire

Holiday home
Created from the conversion of a former granary building, this cottage is a very pretty stone and pantiled semi-detached property. Set in the heart of the picturesque village of Levisham, this quaint little building offers superb open plan accommodation and has been tastefully decorated and furnished throughout. The walled garden itself is shared and provides the perfect opportunity for al fresco dining. With so much in the local area to see and do, this charming little property makes a perfect base for a romantic break amidst the stunning countryside of North Yorkshire.

Area
High on the Yorkshire Moors, to the north of Pickering is the tiny, picturesque village of Levisham. Composed of a cluster of farms and a variety of attractive, neat stone cottages around a village green, this little settlement boasts a pub and a village church whilst there are shops 6 miles away in Pickering. Rising above the nearby Hole of Horcum - where the devil is said to have fallen to earth - is Levisham Beck which flows along a steep wooded valley. At the foot of this is a watermill and small waterfall, adding to the picturesque scenery. Throughout the beautiful countryside visitors can find a maze of tracks and footpaths whilst nearby Levisham station is a stop on the North York Moors Steam Railway. The area also hosts a number of castles, historic houses and moorland villages, as well as a variety of fishing facilities.

Region
The North York Moors National Park covers 554 square miles, with landscape ranging from heather-clad moorland and deep secluded dales, to the cliffs and coves of the magnificent coastline making it a haven for walkers.
