To the north, across the stunning North Yorkshire Moors, lies the port of Whitby; famous for its connections to Captain James Cook and Dracula. Robin Hood’s Bay, a former fishing village with a smugglers past, has quaint streets which lead visitors to a small, sandy cove and rock pools. Heading inland, find the historic market town of Pickering, where the famous North Yorkshire Moors steam train begins its journey.

Fantastic weekend away with the girls celebrating our friends 50th. The location is perfect, lovely and quiet but close to coastal resorts. The house is magnificent. So beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need. Plenty of space. Decorated and maintained to a high standard. We are already looking at booking again next March . Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

We absolutely loved everything about this place. The hall was incredible and had everything you could ask for and was HUGE. The site was beautiful and quiet and the bar/restaurant on site was a great addition. We all loved the pool and hot tub. Couldn’t ask for anything more!
