Post Office Cottage - Goathland
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Goathland on the North York Moors, this unique holiday home was once featured in ITV's Heartbeat as the district nurse’s cottage. Since the show’s launch, this property has retained much of its UK television history, with Aidensfield still emblazoned on the front of the building. Make the most of peaceful village life, with a local ice cream parlour next door and a village green and places to eat and drink nearby. This famous retreat is centrally placed for both adventures in the North York Moors National Park and Yorkshire’s coast. Drive 7 miles and find yourself in the historic seaside town of Whitby, or venture over to Robin Hood's Bay (6 miles) to discover a fishing village with twisting cobbled streets, quirky shops and family-friendly pubs. Stay inland and find plenty of walks on your doorstep, including the renowned, 3-mile circular route of Mallyan Spout. Before stepping into this delightful cottage, take a moment to look around and appreciate your charming village surroundings that set the scene for a peaceful Yorkshire stay. Head on in to find that the rural charm continues in the form of tasteful decor, with accents of the property’s rich past dotted throughout. Be greeted by a welcoming lounge area, where a roaring wood burner and Smart TV offer the perfect spot for a cosy evening in together. When stomachs begin to rumble, the kitchen/diner is fully equipped, making mealtimes a breeze for guests, which can be enjoyed around the dining table in the ice cream parlour-inspired dining space. Dopamine-dressed decor and generous dining space make this a fantastic spot to congregate with loved ones as you plan the next day’s adventure. When day turns to night, head upstairs to find a cosy single bedroom, a king-size room, and a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and WC. Finishing off this floor is the family bathroom with a shower over bath and WC, offering a haven of tranquillity at the end of adventurous days. Outside, an enclosed lawned garden features a decked area and overlooks glorious Yorkshire fields. Enjoy balmy summer evenings out here with al fresco drinks or admire the dark skies at night. There is a permit for on-street parking at this property, plus a public car park opposite the house.
