We were warned in the booking instructions to prepare for bad weather and carry a snow shovel because the cottage was at the end of a mile and a half track. As it turned out we had record-breaking warm February weather. Our accommodation is the smallest part at the end of the owner's house. The views were superb.

We intended to get out as much as we could and the good weather meant we did some really wonderful walks along the Cleveland Way and the rolling hills of North Yorkshire.

As can be seen in the following gallery we had good weather on most days. We went to Pickering when it was misty but the market town was closed for the winter.
