Lovesome Cottage is a detached stone hideaway sitting on a working farm in North Yorkshire. This compact open-plan studio offers countryside peace just outside Northallerton. Total privacy with stunning rural views makes this spot perfect for anyone needing to escape the daily grind. The half-tester double bed and corner bath create a surprisingly luxurious feel in this small but perfectly formed space.

The farm location gives you proper Yorkshire countryside on your doorstep. Fields stretch into the distance with only birdsong and occasional mooing to break the silence. Zero light pollution means incredible stargazing from the hot tub - glass of wine in hand, naturally. You'll find proper country pubs and walking routes within a short drive. Perfect for those who want to do absolutely nothing or explore everything.

The accommodation is cleverly designed as a studio with everything you need. There's a half-tester double bed, corner bath with shower over and a kitchen area with electric oven, hob, microwave and fridge. Outside features a private lawned garden with that all-important hot tub - which might make you forget about the woodburner waiting indoors. One well-behaved dog is welcome for a small supplement.

Nearby attractions include Northallerton town (3.5 miles, 10 mins) with its independent shops and cafes. The Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 miles, 35 mins) offers spectacular hiking. Mount Grace Priory (8 miles, 15 mins) provides fascinating ruins to explore. Thirsk's World of James Herriot (10 miles, 20 mins) celebrates the famous vet's life and work.

Lovesome Cottage delivers exactly what couples need - uninterrupted relaxation with a hot tub that's yours alone. The owner Mary keeps everything spotless but won't disturb your privacy. Book if you want to return home feeling like you've actually had a break.
