"Littlebeck" is in the heart of Danby and Ainthorpe villages, in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. The spacious flat has its own entrance, * please note there are 2 steps up to the door*, sofa, television, ensuite shower, toilet and patio doors overlooking the garden, village green, trees and lane. We have chosen to decorate the room in a neutral colour, with warm fushia tones in the rug ,blankets and cushions. The bed can be adjusted to twin singles or a king. The nearest place for an evening meal is a quick 5 minute walk up to the Fox and Hounds Pub, which everyone reports back to us is excellent. The beautiful open Moors is just beyond the pub. Our guests enjoy their own small private dining room where you can have breakfast ( full English, Vegetarian or Vegan) if you opt to add breakfast, it overlooks the fields and dry stone walls across the road and valley. Our guests have their own private garden with a bench. * Please note we cannot have dogs staying. * Please note there are 2 steps to the guests main front door.

Jon and I love life in the national park, where sheep grazing freely in the village. There's many walks straight from our front door of Littlebeck to the moors, where we can see curlew, red legged partridge, lapwing and pheasant and lots of rabbits! The nearby fields have a variety of sheep and cattle breeds, our favourites are the Galloway and Highland cattle. At night, its a "dark skies" area, so we love the bright stars, and we often hear owls, and see bats. As a mother and son hosting team, we enjoy looking after our guests, and ensuring they are comfortably relaxing at Littlebeck. Its great to be able to share this amazingly beautiful area with our guests 😊 Best wishes, Jon and Sheila🌷
