The village of Goathland is just a short walk away, made famous in TVs ’Heartbeat’ where it was known as Aidensfield, it still has that feeling of stepping back in time. You will see plenty of Aidensfield in the village including the traditional local pub and village stores, as well as a steam train station which is famous in its own right as Hogsmeade in the Harry Potter films.

There is an abundance of walkways and cycle routes to enjoy all across the National Park to suit all levels of difficulty, from amateur to championship level routes. The ’Rail Trail’ from Goathland to Grosmont combines a signposted 3½ mile walk down the old railway line, passing the smallest pub in the National Park in nearby Beckhole. You can even catch a ride back up on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The moors are full of wonderful villages with traditional pubs offering a warm welcome and good food, ancient abbeys and historic market towns.
The Yorkshire coast is simply stunning with hidden bays and coves, such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes and Sandsend. Whitby is just 9 miles away and is definitely worth a visit with its historic abbey stood proudly over the town. Climb the 199 steps to the top in search of Dracula’s gravestone and enjoy the views out to sea, or explore the cobbled back streets with independent traders, coffee shops and delis. There are restaurants from around the world, award-winning fish and chips and traditional ice cream shops. Take a pleasure cruise out in search of minke whales and dolphins, or hop on the open top bus. Neighbouring Scarborough boasts two long bays, a water park and the open air theatre which attracts international stars throughout the summer months. With dog-friendly beaches, stunning historic sites and lots of pubs and cafés fit for humans and hounds, the North York Moors has got everything you need for a dog-friendly holiday. Beach 9 miles.

Location excellent for a quiet holiday in a beautiful village with great walks for our dog. Clean and bright property. Unfortunately the wooden floors downstairs were unsuitable for our disabled dog and resulted in him being unable to walk from room to room without him falling over. Would benefit from an outside rotary clothes drier as we had to use the rack in the conservatory because it was windy and there were only a five pegs provided, this meant that there was little room left to sit and enjoy the lovely views. Would also benefit from a welcome pack as at this price level we have always been provided with some items like fresh milk, fresh loaf and usually a cake of some description.

A spacious well equipped bungalow in an excellent location providing very comfortable accommodation. Would benefit from installing a few wall mirrors but other than that I would fully recommend this accommodation.

Enjoyable stay. Our third visit . Comfortable accommodation.. A wall mirror in the upstairs double bedroom would be extremely useful near a socket for a hairdryer.
