Beautiful cottage in a great location for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors and the coast. In between Scarborough and Whitby, there’s a lovely circular coastal walk pretty much straight from the cottage. The Old Barn is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and comfortable with all you need for your stay. The Hot Tub was amazing (it’s very hot!). We stayed for 4 nights and throughly enjoyed it despite the rainy weather, but it was November.
