About this property

East Ayton 5.5 miles. Located in Sawdon near the amenities of East Ayton in North Yorkshire is The Nail Shed, a contemporary, one-bedroom home. Nestled upon the cusp of the North York Moors National Park, whilst a car journey away from the coastline, The Nail Shed offers a delightful base for two guests and their furry companion, complete with an open-plan living space, enclosed patio, and enjoying stunning, rural views. Park up and unload your belongings, making your way into your new home-from-home. Be welcomed into the living space, where you can lounge upon the plush seating with the TV for entertainment, rustle up and enjoy delicious, romantic meals, and plan your impending itinerary. Dine alfresco upon the front patio, making the most of your outdoor, private space, followed by a toast to your break, before heading up the spiral staircase, to catch some rest from the sumptuous double bed; awaken to an indulgent soak in the free-standing bath, resting in the ground-floor, sleek bathroom, preparing for a day of adventure. For your nearest dine out option, head to The Anvil Inn open Wednesday to Saturday, whilst a hub of convenience stores and other eateries can be found in East Ayton. Those who enjoy thrill-seeking activities will relish in the chance to visit the North Yorkshire Water Park for a day of fun, before heading to the coastline, where you can stroll around the Italian Gardens, visit the remains of Scarborough Castle, take in the pretty grounds of Peasholm Park, and follow the Cleveland Way trail into the National Park. Round off your break with your walking equipment in tow, travelling across the North Riding Forest Park, possible to reach the Raptor Viewpoint for stunning vistas across the region, before returning home for sundowners. Experience all of this at The Nail Shed.

East Ayton can be found in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Offering its own pub, fish and chip shop and a village hall, it hosts an array of useful amenities both in the village itself and slightly further afield. There is also a small scattering of independent shops, offering vegan friendly health and beauty products at the Green Donkey Apothecary, gifts for all the family at Fred and Mabel, and something to keep the kids entertained for hours at the Mucky Monkey Toy Shop. For an indulging day out, head to Betton Farm, offering delicious cream teas, and don't forget to stop at Betton Wines on your way home to discover your new favourite tipple. Travel a little further to the bustling resort town of Scarborough, with its own castle and Rotunda Museum of Geology for the history lover, Alpamare UK and watersports for the avid thrill seeker, and not forgetting the amusement arcades on the sea front for an evening of family-fun.

    Really comfy bed & the kitchen well equipped. Owners really friendly & helpful but in no way obtrusive. My only suggestion would be to put a shelf in the bathroom to put toiletries on - ended up putting them on the kitchen side which wasn't a problem but made the place look untidy. Would not stop us visiting again & definitely plan to return. Thank you! xx
