Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a triple-aspect sunroom with a reclining leather sofa in front of large windows looking out into the garden. This bright and welcoming room leads you through into the beautifully fitted kitchen. A homely kitchen AGA provides extra comfort and a truly country-living ‘feel’ to your stay. High-quality, modern appliances throughout ensure that you have everything needed to create an instant “home from home”.
The adjoining living area has a corner sofa in front of the large 4G Smart TV, perfect for movie nights in and has a selection of books and games. A step up leads you to the hallway which branches off to the modern shower room, with a rainforest shower and the bonus of a fold-down seat. The bedroom is beautifully presented with a double bed beneath an electric Velux window and has a built-in wardrobe and shelving. The owner has paid careful attention to detail throughout to ensure that you have an exceptional stay.
You are in the perfect destination for an active break away, with the coast as well as the national park to discover. Local amenities in Glaisdale include a local village pub, post office, butcher and grocery store. The village railway station is a short walk away.
Whether dreaming of a romantic escape, a walker’s retreat or simply a base from which to easily explore the North York Moors’ unique wildlife and landscapes - with quaint fishing towns and hamlets dotted along the stunning Jurassic North Sea coast - we want your stay at Benchmark Cottage to be the most relaxing and memorable treat you deserve.

An amazing place to stay 😊
This place was of a very high standard. One entered via a lovely sunroom with a comfortable couch and a view over the garden where we could see the birds on the bird feeder and the two naughty grey squirrels stealing the bird food. The kitchen/diner had everything including an Aga! On the table there was a heart shaped basket with treats in it too. The whole place was spotless and there was a comfortable lounge and TV. The bed was also very comfortable and we highly recommend this as a great place to stay.
