The Potting Shed | City Chic meets Country Luxury in this romantic cottage for two in Goathland

City chic meets country luxury; The Potting Shed offers the best of both worlds. Set in a private 100 acre estate in one of Yorkshire’s prettiest villages this bijou bolthole for two serves up stunning views from its 5 star accommodation. And in case you don’t fancy leaving this little retreat, the owners offer a complementary breakfast and supper service to match. Read on…

Tucked away at the bottom of the large estate, The Potting Shed has a secluded and mature garden from which you can enjoy the beautiful views across surrounding countryside. Step inside and you’ll find a super stylish lounge with comfy leather sofa and footstool, perfectly positioned in front of the living flame fire and Smart LCD TV. Cuddle up for a cosy night in on the sofa with any amount of cushions and throws to enjoy your favourite film with a glass or two of your choice.

The bedroom is open plan yet private, giving the accommodation a sense of space and intimacy at the same time. Enjoy its king-size bed, crisp white cotton bedding, comfy throws, cushions and soft mood lighting. And with complimentary newspapers provided for you at the weekend, breakfast in bed over the broadsheets is a must.

The contemporary kitchen offers everything for you to cook up a romantic meal for your partner, including a dishwasher, ceramic hob with oven and the all-important Nespresso coffee-maker. The inviting dining table sits by French doors with stunning views of the Yorkshire moors while you eat.

The 5 star feel continues in the bathroom with its large grey tiles and generous walk in shower. Feel at home with the complimentary fluffy white robes, slippers, L’Occitane toiletries and you’ll have to remind yourself you’re in The Potting Shed, not a top London hotel.

Wrench yourself away from your accommodation and you’ll find there is so much to see and do in this area. This cottage is in walking distance of everything that the pretty village of Goathland has on offer; some cute tearooms, great pubs, restaurants and shops. This is where Heartbeat as well as parts of the Harry Potter films were filmed - an indication of how scenic it is really is. And just down the road in the hamlet of Beck Hole you’ll find a very cute pub called Birch Hall Inn. Said to be the smallest pub in the country, this is a visitor attraction not to be missed.

You’re in the heart of the North Yorks National Park and there are many walks or bike rides from the cottage and with bikes supplied at your accommodation, there’s no excuse for missing out on some of the country’s best outdoor experiences. And don’t worry about mucking up your best shoes; even wellies are supplied for you!

You’re also only a few miles away from the stunning Yorkshire coastline with towns such as Whitby and Staithes within easy reach. So whether you fancy a rugged walk or bike ride, some shopping in historic towns, a bit of seaside bliss or simply copying up inside, The Potting Shed offers the perfect stay for a romantic break in Yorkshire.
