One of our aims in creating the Rosella Cottage "blog", was to promote the area around Rosedale Abbey to the widest possible audience of visitors.

We simply love this region and hope that holiday-makers will also love what is on offer in Rosedale.

For that reason, we're happy enough to promote other quality holiday-home accommodation in Rosedale.

View towards Bilsdale in the North York Moors National Park.

Lily Cottage is one such holiday home (telephone 01757 210366).

You'll find Lily Cottage is a set in the beautiful and tranquil setting just outside our small village.

If you stay at either Rosella Cottage or Lily Cottate, you'll find that Rosedale Abbey is a small bustling village; with two "local" pubs, and two village shops, a couple of cafes and a glass making studio.  We also have a local primary school and a historic old church; and all set around a quaint and ancient village green

Furthermore, the wider valley of Rosedale is spectacular and to be found in the centre of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.

Originally founded in 1158 AD, the priory in Rosedale was inhabited by a small group of nuns.  They are credited by local historians to be the first people to farm sheep commercially in the region.  And you'll still see lots of sheep wandering about!

The priory ceased to operate in 1535 AD following the dissolution of the Catholic Church by Henry VIII.

The abandoned priory was then dismantled by the Victorians when the stone was reclaimed for building much of present-day Rosedale Abbey.
