Thorpe End Cottage, Masham

Picture
Thorpe End Cottage, sleeps 4 to 6 people in three bedrooms and is a five minute walk into the market square of Masham, where you will find an abundance of quaint shops and local pubs.

Once our family home, it still has the warmth and feel of a home that is loved and lived in.  With its real fire, along with gas central heating and double glazing, the cottage is always warm in winter or summer. 

The cottage is open plan down stairs so has the feeling of space but still cosy at the same time - it has seperate seating areas around the cottage so you can get away from the tv to read a book if you would like.

The lounge has a 32" flat screen tv with freeview and a dvd player. Free wifi is accessible locally. 

The cottage is dog friendly and has its own private enclosed garden which is a sun trap in the summer months and perfect for barbeques.

Masham is a town, boasting the largest market place in England and has lots of lovely quaint shops to visit during your stay. The two sweet shops offer tempting goodies which will bring back childhood memories! We have an art gallery, gift shops, wine shop and a delicatessen that sells gorgeous cheeses, pickles and other delicious bits and pieces. There is a market twice a week on a Wednesday and Saturday.  There are 4 pubs in Masham all within walking distance from the cottage that offer a variety of food, along with cafes and an award winning restaurant.

The town is embraced by the river and surrounding slopes and sits picturesquely with the tall spire of Saint Mary’s church visible from miles around. Pretty riverside walks with parkland and playing fields on the doorstep, the nearby stately grounds of Swinton Castle, the fun-park at Lightwater Valley and the not so distant attractions of Ripon, Harrogate and York offer enjoyment and excitement for all.  The seaside is not too far away - an hour and a half over the Yorkshire Moors will have you arrive in Whitby with its famous Abbey and old fashioned sea side feel.
