Tucked away in their own picturesque valley, this imposing stone farmhouse and three Grade II listed properties Kildale Barn, Ingleby Barn and Westerdale Barn lie on the site of a 12th-century Cistercian abbey in an idyllic setting, where endless footpaths radiate from the door. Accessed by a 2-mile drive, they are set on a working farm where sheep and cattle graze (farm machinery – children must be supervised) within the glorious North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Baysdale Abbey has been furnished and equipped to a very good standard. All rooms are spacious, light and airy with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Original wooden floors on the ground level blend with shuttered windows, cornices add decorative touches and open fires in the reception rooms provide a welcoming atmosphere. A large natural garden surrounds the house and is edged by a fenced beck, providing a good habitat for an array of wildlife. Dating back to the 1800s, the other three holiday properties offer character accommodation in a tranquil and idyllic location. Vaulted beamed ceilings and wood-burning stoves add to the charm and character providing a welcoming atmosphere. Offering 3 miles of sandy beaches is the historic port of Whitby with its picturesque harbour and cobbled streets. Here you can board the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Train (Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films) and take a memorable journey through the stunning Esk Valley. Castle Howard, Nunnington Hall, Duncombe Park and Rievaulx Abbey are just a few of the treasures awaiting discovery. The coastal villages of Staithes, Runswick Bay and Sandsend all lie within 23 miles. This is an ideal holiday location at any time of the year. Shop 3 miles, pub 6 miles and restaurant 8 miles.

Excellent support for directions, checkin and arrival.
An amazing location (isolated) with comfortable fresh accommodation and necessary cutlery.
With more time some great wales to be had but was a lovely location.
Sophie met us as we arrived and gave good briefing to help us settle in and get our bearings.
Definitely a location & venue we’d all like to return to.

Absolutely stunning scenery, proper middle of nowhere location with footpaths and bridleways galore.
Absolutely stunning scenery, proper middle of nowhere location with footpaths and bridleways galore. Our dog particularly enjoyed the extended walks. The barn is really well done throughout, plenty of space in all areas to relax, and we loved the simplicity of the rules - no extra charges for the dog, more firewood for the log burner just left in covered bins to help yourself rather than being an extra charge. We would love to come back again!

Very relaxing, peaceful break in this spacious - three beds and there were only two of us and a dog - comfortable cottage on a working farm. Furnishings are plain but comfortable and practical. Kitchen is well equipped. WiFi is good. Garden furniture so that you can sit outside would have been good. Under floor heating takes some figuring out but the weather was good so not an issue for us. Location is good but remote.

We had a lovely relaxing holiday, travelling to the places we visited was all within 45 mins, well worth the time and with the beautiful scenery along the way, we didn't notice the time. We would definitely recommend Westerdale Barn for a relaxing chilled out break.

A lovely barn and very comfortable.
A lovely barn and very comfortable. Location is remote over the moors but that is what we were looking for. Some issues with missing items in the kitchen but this was soon rectified by the manager who could not have been more helpful.

We absolutely loved Westerdale Barn.
We absolutely loved Westerdale Barn. The surrounding area is beautiful and unspoilt. The barn was comfortable, clean and ideal for my family of 4, plus Granny and her dog. It could only be improved with a view. My children loved the fact there was a games room and other children to play with.
