The Mill House

Thirsk 7.1 miles. The Mill House is a stylish and characterful cottage set in the picturesque countryside of Holme-on-Swale, North Yorkshire. With a babbling hot tub, a toasty woodburning stove, and two en-suite bedrooms, this home is a delightful choice for a family, friends or two couples to enjoy a break from the day-to-day. Handy parking greets you on arrival, before stepping into the spacious ground-floor area, home to a sitting room with a TV to curl up in front of. From here, the wonderfully equipped kitchen is perfect for rustling up family favourites, with an ample dining table to enjoy your meals around while conversation flows. Moving through the property and up the stairs, two bright and airy bedrooms offer a space to rest your head after a day of exploring, with convenient en-suites for extra privacy when freshening up, ready to do it all again the next day. When you’re back from your adventurous days out, be sure to take advantage of the patio area, whether that’s with a dip in the hot tub, or enjoying your dinner outside with a glass of wine, the choice is yours. After settling in, take the opportunity to explore the simplicity of rural life. Start by visiting the intriguing World Of James Herriot, a museum dedicated to the famous writer and veterinarian. Then, spend an afternoon at Thorp Perrow, where you can admire a vast collection of trees in the arboretum and encounter various birds of prey and mammals. For those inclined toward sports, enjoy a round of golf surrounded by lush greenery at Thirsk & Northallerton Golf Club. Don’t miss the chance to admire the grandeur of Newby Hall, a magnificent stately home surrounded by stunning gardens and a peaceful river. For a nostalgic experience, board the delightful Wensleydale Railway at Leeming Bar Station and take in the scenic views of the Yorkshire Dales. Finally, immerse yourself in Ripon with a serene walk through Ripon Spa Gardens and a visit to the Ripon Workhouse Museum, offering insights into the lives of the past.
