The beautiful North York Moors are a delight to explore either on foot or by car, or alternatively, the steam railway runs along stunning scenery through many unspoilt villages including Goathland (Aidensfield in the television series ’Heartbeat’). The coast is easily accessible, 45 minutes away, and the popular seaside resorts of Scarborough and Whitby are delights not to be missed. The quaint cobbled streets of Robin Hood’s Bay, once a favourite haunt with smugglers, will keep children and adults entertained for hours with its shoreline full of strange and colourful pebbles. Castle Howard is within easy driving distance, and Flamingo Land (a popular theme park and zoo) is well worth the visit. The market town of Helmsley is just 6 miles away and has shops and inns as well as pretty walled gardens.
Many National Trust and English Heritage properties can be found within a 15-mile radius, including Nunnington Hall, Byland Abbey and Duncomb Park, to name but a few. The ancient city of York is but a 45-minute drive. Excellent walking can be found from the doorstep. The cottage combine country living, yet is close enough to the coast to keep any visitor happy, whatever type of holiday they may be looking for. It is the perfect place in which to relax and unwind - whatever time of year. Beach 24 miles.

We are two friends in their 40s with three little kids and this was a perfect base for a week at half term.The cottage itself was gorgeous - immaculately clean and well appointed. A private, secure garden was a bonus (with lovely little wooded area to stomp through) as well as having 3 bathrooms. The kids loved the very warm swimming pool which we had to ourselves every time we used it.Helmsley Castle and the pretty town of Helmsley were on the doorstep. Thirsk with its fab sculpture park also close. Do not recommend the traipse to York but Whitby / Robin Hood’s Bay very do-able.Would both recommend and stay again!

This is a really wonderful property.
This is a really wonderful property. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Having three bathrooms is an absolute luxury. We loved the swimming pool and were in there every day. The owners are friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, just a short drive from many beautiful and historic places of interest. We visited Pickering, Sutton Bank and the Ryedale Folk Museum, and would thoroughly recommend all three. We wished we'd booked for the week not just a long weekend!
