Farndale Cottages Amenities
In 2014, Farndale Cottages Estate scooped a prestigious, ‘best listed building conversion’ award so frazzled parents can look forward to somewhere pretty special to relax and recharge in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Perhaps what sealed the award is the way the cottages are brimming with original character, enhanced by boutique styling and finished to luxurious standards, but the owners also include helpful baby gear and extras that tick the BFB boxes.
High beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and an original farmhouse range fireplace in one cottage are some of the features that have been lovingly restored to maintain the traditional ambience. Yorkshire flagstone and smooth wood floors look fab and controllable underfloor heating makes them nice and toasty for little toes, as well as deep, soft rugs in the living rooms and bedrooms.
Parents can flop into leather sofas and put their feet up in plush fabric armchairs by wood burning stoves to watch Freesat TV, a family DVD or stream movies, music and games on a tablet with the free Wi Fi. Kitchens are state of the art, with top quality units, sleek black worktops and all the latest appliances, plus the owners provide a welcome hamper including fresh bread, butter, milk, eggs, bacon and a bottle of wine. Most of the bedrooms are ensuite and have solid wood furnishings, luxury linen, lush throws and space for a cot which the owners will happily provide. The bath and shower rooms feature tactile natural surfaces and modern fittings, with fluffy towels and premium toiletries.
From the cottages, families can spill outside to patio areas and lawns where children can play and have picnic lunches by day then do some amazing stargazing in the black night skies, well away from the light pollution of any towns or cities for miles around.
Accommodation overview
The Coach House (2 + baby) is a lavishly spacious cottage for a couple with a baby. The living room is lovely and light thanks to big glazed barn doors to gaze out across the farm yard to the North Yorkshire Moors beyond, or parents can cosy up by the wood burner and the flat screen TV. Just off the lounge is the large contemporary kitchen, with restored flagstone floors warmed by underfloor heating, a timber beamed ceiling and all mod cons including eye level double oven and electric hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer and children’s crockery. A high chair and sterilizer are among the baby equipment available. Upstairs, the big bedroom, with smooth wood flooring, has a king size bed, luxurious bedspread, a flat screen TV and plenty of space for a cot which can be provided. A huge ensuite has a freestanding roll top bath, his-and-hers wash basins, a large walk-in shower and WC.
