Bike store. Private parking. No smoking. Please note: Large fenced pond in grounds, unsuitable for the infirm. . Dating back to the 1700s and affording breath-taking views across the valley, these award-winning former barns simply ooze character. Each of the three holiday cottages has its unique charm and offers a peaceful break away from the rigours of everyday life. Set in the grounds of the owners’ farmhouse B & B, each has its own patio area and the use of a shared adult games room with snooker table (under 16s strictly under adult supervision). There is also a shared indoor heated 18m swimming pool (no under 5s allowed), gym and steam room at this accommodation, available for £35 per person (ages 5 years to adults), per week, payable locally (slippers are provided to wear in the pool area). Over 1½ acres of grounds boast secluded sitting-out areas dotted around the duck pond.
This “upside-down” style cottage has two relaxing double bedrooms, each with Freeview TV and a wash basin, on the ground floor with a stone spiral staircase taking you up to the open plan living space on the first floor. The living area with wood burner, comfortable sofas and rugs on polished wood floors make this a great area to chill out at the end of the day. Sat behind the living area is the dining area with seating for 4 and the modern fitted kitchen, perfect for rustling up breakfast and planning your adventures for the day or gathering in the evening for a holiday feast. The family bathroom, with shower over bath is found on the ground floor.
Ideally located for exploring the North York Moors National Park, the Heritage Coast and the many quaint little villages tucked away in the valleys. A leisurely 8 mile drive brings you to historic Whitby. In the glorious Esk Valley, near the NYM Steam Railway and Heartbeat villages of Grosmont and Goathland. Visit the fishing villages of Robin Hood’s Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes, the market towns of Pickering, Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley, or just enjoy the tranquillity of Red House Farm with its cows and free-roaming hens. Excellent walks from the doorstep. Riding and bridleways locally. Shop 500 yards, pub ¾ mile.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 10 guests.

A lovely few days in a lovely barn conversion. Loved the setting and the way the cottage had been decorated. The only complaint is the electric heaters which definitely need replacing, otherwise we very highly recommend this! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Absolutely stunning setting with beautiful views. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and everything we needed on hand. Lovely welcome and the occupants were there if we needed anything, we couldn’t use the pool and gym but the games room was fabulous, kept the kids entertained! We would recommend the cottage to anyone wanting a family holiday, it’s a perfect place to stay.  Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We have visited these cottages many times over the years and find them as comfortable as ever.
We have visited these cottages many times over the years and find them as comfortable as ever. Well placed for both coast and moors and always a warm welcome (if socially distanced this year) from resident owners Tom & Sandra. The very detailed "Covid" protocols in place this year gave reassurance in these uncertain times without sacrificing the comfort and character of the cottage.
