Moulton View Holiday Cottage

The cottage sleeps 4 persons with two bedrooms. One large bedroom with a king size oak framed bed and Tv with large built in wardrobes , relaxing chair and dressing table with chair and mirror. The second bedroom holds two single beds also with a built in wardrobe, full length mirror, dressing table and chair.

 There is a single toilet and a single bathroom with rainfall shower over large bath. The bathroom mirror illuminates by touch and also has a shaving point. A heated towel rail is on constantly to keep towels warm and fresh.

 Downstairs you will find a large hallway, a great for placing your dog crate or basket. We do provide one large dog bowl and two small ones for your furry friend. The hallway has a cloakroom cupboard which holds the usual domestic appliances and vacuum cleaner,  but we don't expect you to be doing much of that on your holiday. 

From the hallway and into the open lounge/dining area with a large dining table that hosts 6 people should you want to invite friends or family to visit for a meal together. Whilst sitting at the table or on the sofa nearest to the windows, you can look out to the beautiful views across the  village. Outside is an enclosed lower ground fully decked garden with 6ft fence and gate.  You will find a bistro table and four chairs to have those relaxing moments on a morning in the sun with a coffee. The lawn in front of the patio is shared with another two properties. From the lower ground garden you have access to a secret roof top garden accessible via the spiral staircase which takes you to amazing views across the Yorkshire countryside. There are  Rattan chairs with a coffee table, where you can sit and  have  a coffee on an evening, watching the sun setting on the horizon or listen to nature. During the day it is a great sun trap, and you will be forgiven for just wanting to stay there all day.

 In the kitchen you will find an electric oven and hob, along with a combination oven/microwave, coffee machine, slow cooker and integrated fridge freezer should you need storage for raw dog food. The kitchen looks out onto the lower decking. 

You are welcome to leave your dog only when crated and not more than 2-3 hours.  If you require a dog sitter for your stay, please arrange this before your arrival.  There are a number in the area that you can contact.

In the village is a dog friendly pub, The Black Bull Inn which has a large seating area outside. It's only a few yards from the property. No taxis needed. We have secured a 10% discount off meals for our guests.

 In the next village there are another two pubs, both very different depending on what you are looking for. The Farmers Arms in Scorton have given our guests 10% discount from their bill too.

Scorton has a great nature reserve where you can relax and unwind with your dog.  It is requested that dogs are kept on a lead due to the fact their will be animals near by. After your walk if you are feeling energetic, head back into Scorton either by foot or car and visit Ellerton Lakeside Cafe (near Bolton on Swale).  Friendly helpful staff and a lovely gift shop upstairs full of unusual quirky gifts and homeware, whiskey, gin, condiments and many more fantastic things. If you drive from Moulton to Ellerton it is only 10 minutes. Dogs are welcome both inside and outside.  Guests receive 10% discount off their food.  Next door is a small garden centre which you may want to peruse.
