High ceilings and exposed beams wrap around the interior, finished with a delightful en-suite and a wet room, to cater for all guests. When the sun is shining, why not wander outside through the beautiful French doors for some peace and quiet on the outdoor furniture, an enclosed garden with a lawned area awaits, backed by open countryside views. For a taste of the village, head out to The Royal Oak Inn only a short stroll away, Gillamoor and its near neighbour Fadmoor are built on the flat top of one of the tabular hills. As you drive north across the middle of the hill, steep valleys are just out of sight on each side. The nearby village of Hutton-Le-Hole has a complex of craft shops, workshops, tea rooms and gift shops to visit, or the attractive old market town of Kirkbymoorside lies on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, in between the towns of Helmsley and Pickering; a charming place with a slightly 'old fashioned feel'. Both the City of York and the Yorkshire Coast rest at easy distance. A getaway not to be missed.
The village of Gillamoor rests approximately three miles north of Kirkbymoorside on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. It nestles on the flat top of one of the tabular hills featuring a National Trail for walking. Just to the left of the village church is Gillamoor's 'Surprise View', built right on the edge of a moorland escarpment. After a long walk through the countryside and looking for a spot to relax, head into The Royal Oak Inn which is a Grade II listed building and has been part of the village community since the mid-seventeenth century, offering cuisine cooked to order. Gillamoor is the place to be for anyone seeking a quiet spot in the North Yorkshire countryside, whilst the city of York is within easy driving distance.
