About this cottage rental
Ideal for families, mountain bikers or as a base for your outdoor activities or quiet getaway in the famously picturesque Yorkshire village of Thornton-le-dale.
The Coach House is a beautifully light and spacious stone cottage with stunning period features and all modern facilities. Set in the quiet Prospect Place cul-de-sac with your own off-street parking space. Recently re-furnished, the large rooms benefit from modern furniture that provides a contemporary yet homely environment. Family friendly the house is also ideal for couples or larger groups. Included is all bedding and towels for 2 double bedrooms and a twin room, as well as a large double sofa bed in the living room, with bedding available (just ask). The Master bedroom has a king sized bed, and both that and the second double bedroom have incredibly comfortable memory foam mattresses and all bedrooms have black-out curtains as your holiday sleep is very important. There is a spacious main family bathroom with power shower, plus the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite toilet, and there is even a down-stairs toilet in the utility room. A travel cot is available with bedding and a high chair just let us know if you'd like the cot setting up for your arrival. Make your stay relaxing rather than a chore with all the modern facilities including dish-washer, Nespresso pod coffee machine, wifi, large screen smart TV, google chrome-cast, bluetooth speaker, radio/CD/bluetooth in kitchen, washing machine, tumble-dryer and even a bell BBQ with outdoor dining furniture.
ACTIVITIES
With Dalby Forest just up the road the Coach House is ideal as your base for outdoor activities whether that be strolling through the village and picturesque lanes, hiking on the moors or in the forest, heading to the sea-side (just 30 minutes drive), family cycling on the quiet bridleways up-to and around Dalby forest or serious mountain biking on the famous purpose-built Dalby forest MTB Trails. Bridleways and footpaths lead from just over the road straight into the heart of Dalby Forest without having to use the main roads (just head for Ellerburn and then follow signs for the campsite). There is also plenty of bike storage and a hose to wash your bikes.
The Beck (stream) as shown in the images is just 1/4 mile from the cottage and is lined by some of the most pristine thatched cottages and gardens in Yorkshire. Myself and our children have spent many summer hours paddling and playing in the water and relaxing in the sunshine. There is even a duck pond in the village to feed the ducks.
LOCAL FACILITIES - all within 200 metres of The Coach House
Two excellent pubs that serve yummy food, local ales and are hugely welcoming and family friendly
Satisfy that hard earned hunger from all your activities at the fish and chip shop
Treat yourself at Balderson's cafe, bakery and ice cream parlour.
Pace Bike Shop - one of the county's leading bike companies.
Several tea rooms as well as Moore's delicatessen run by two lovely Italian ladies.
Friendly convenience store open early 'til late with free cash machine
Village Post Office and stores
Large children's play park on Roxby road.
Plus much more... you really will fall in love with this stunning Yorkshire village.

A short and picturesque 1.5 mile ride on a quiet lane and then bridleway directly onto the Dalby Forest MTB trails.
Pace Bike shop less than 100 metres from house, be careful they have some very tasty bikes in there :-)
Indoor bike storage area in the utility room
Secure locked bike storage room at the side of the house large enough for up to 6 bikes. We do suggest bringing your own locks too if you have more expensive bikes just for peace of mind, but this is a very low crime area.

Easy direct-from-outdoor access to the spacious utility room if it's been a muddy day and you want to clean your kit.
Enjoy the trails and lanes.

Excellent communication from initial booking to arriving at the property. The Coach House was perfect for a family break away. Spacious, clean and everything you need it really felt like home.

Our third stay at this lovely cottage and I am sure we will be back again in the future. The attention to detail is amazing and the communication with the host is great. The location is fantastic, with all that you could possibly want on your doorstep. My children both had a great time so what more could you ask! Thanks again

Could not fault it, the cottage, the owners, the location were all amazing (local pub food only slight let down, but through no one’s fault). Highly recommend the cottage
