The locals

Nestling in the small, moorland village of Gillamoor, meaning 'The opening to the moors' is within the southern boundary, of the North York Moors National Park, this charming end terrace holiday cottage is full of traditional features. The cottage still has the original Yorkshire stone kitchen floor, exposed stonework, original beams in the lounge and master bedroom and stripped pine doors throughout.

The surrounding area provides an abundance of walking and cycling trails. The Valley of Farndale, famous for its daffodil walk, and the picturesque village of Hutton le Hole are close by. Market towns at Kirkbymoorside, 3 miles, and Helmsley, 8 miles, offer a choice of shops, inns and tearooms and visitors can travel on the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway. The village pub and restaurant is just around the corner.
