About this property
Black Sheep Cottage is a delightful 19th-century cottage with a pretty brick built exterior, resting in the popular market town of Thirsk. With tasteful décor, a cosy feel and close by amenities, this property is an ideal base for a small family or couple looking for a getaway to North Yorkshire. Park off-road and enter through a quaint stable door into a well-fitted kitchen/diner. This is a great space for guests to discuss the range of activities the area has to offer whilst dining together over a meal cooked in the well-stocked kitchen. After dinner, get comfy on the stylish sofa next to the electric woodburner, put your feet up and find your favourite series on the Smart TV. Alternatively, look through the books and games provided, to while away your evening. Upstairs later for a bath and bed in either the king-size bedroom or single room, both with original beam ceilings. Waking up refreshed the next morning, do not miss the internationally acclaimed World of James Herriot Museum next door, take in a film at the community-run Ritz cinema or browse the independent shops and cafes that make Thirsk such an attractive market town. Or you could take a drive or the train to the coast, the Yorkshire Dales, or have a day out in the beautiful City of York. You will never be without something to do with Black Sheep Cottage, the perfect base to explore from.
With the gateway to the North York Moors National Park to the east and Yorkshire Dales National Park to the west, the bustling town of Thirsk boasts a quaint market place, splendid Georgian buildings, a Norman church and excellent pubs, shops, restaurants, a cinema and a leisure centre. Visit the World of James Herriott Museum, dedicated to the life and works of the town’s own famous vet and author or explore the surrounding rolling countryside and Hambleton Hills, offering excellent walking and cycling opportunities. The cathedral city of York and the beautiful East Coast are within easy driving distance.

Fully equipped with everything that was needed . The owners added a few extra treats which were very nice . Very comfy beds and clean through out . So close to all the shops and a lovely park near to walk the dogs . Only issue I would highlight on the site is yes there is a parking space outside which is brilliant but a bit of a sharpe turn into the entrance if you have a big vehicle. Well worth a stay and would highly recommend a stay . Thanks once again .

From the minute we arrived we felt very settled. It is extremely comfortable, well equipped and cosy! Just a stones throw from the centre of Thirsk but tucked away in a very quiet spot. We would not hesitate to recommend Black Sheep Cottage and would love to return, hopefully next year
