Puddleduck Cottage, Thornton-Le-Dale

Puddleduck Cottage is a converted stone barn in the North York Moors village of Wrelton, near Pickering. Original features include exposed timber beams, stone walls and a wood-burning stove in the sitting room. The barn sleeps four guests and offers peaceful countryside views across open fields and woodland.

The barn sits in a rural hamlet surrounded by farmland. You'll wake to views of rolling hills and working farms. The North York Moors National Park starts just beyond the village boundary.

Two bedrooms sleep four: one double and one twin. The bathroom has a shower over the bath. Downstairs you'll find an open-plan kitchen and dining area plus a separate sitting room with the wood burner. Private garden with outdoor seating included.
