Set in the village of Goathland, perhaps better known as Aidensfield from the TV series Heartbeat, in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, it is in an excellent area for walking – the North Yorks Moors steam railway stops at the village station on its journey from Pickering to Grosmont. Horse riding can also be found nearby.
Whitby being only 9 miles away is a picturesque seaport famous for its Captain Cook connections, where the cobbled streets and yards stand in the shadow of the Abbey, overlooking the harbour. The 3 miles of sandy beaches lead to the pretty coastal village of Sandsend. Robin Hood’s Bay (renowned as a bygone smugglers’ haunt), Runswick Bay and Staithes are all worth a visit. Inland, the moors are scattered with villages, many with excellent inns. Goathland itself offers an excellent choice of inns and restaurants, in addition to local shops, post office and cafés. Scarborough 23 miles. York 38 miles. Beach 9 miles. Pub and restaurant 200 yards away.

This was my third stay at Eversfield in Goathland, and once again we had a lovely time. The location is fantastic — beautiful walks right on the doorstep and a couple of great pubs in the village that are perfect for meals and drinks. It’s a brilliant place for children too, with plenty of space and things to explore. As a family, we would definitely stay again.The only area that needs attention is the ensuite bathroom. The large walk‑in shower couldn’t be used because after a couple of minutes the pipes started making a very loud banging noise, which made us worry something might break. The bath itself is big and comfortable, but the taps drip, so we had to put a towel on the wooden step to soak up the water.In the main bathroom, the shower over the bath also drips constantly, which was a bit annoying for anyone trying to enjoy a bath. I did let the owner know, and he said he would get a plumber out to fix it.A couple of other small issues: the inner door handle was very loose, although the owner informed us about this before our stay, and the left‑hand conservatory door couldn’t be used due to a fault (again, clearly noted by the owner).Despite these minor maintenance issues, Eversfield remains a lovely place to stay, and we are already planning to book again. The owners are responsive and aware of the things that need updating, so hopefully these will be sorted soon.

After 10 years of using cottages.com. For large and small family holidays, this is the best house by far! Without a car it could be difficult to access. But the views, the building the cleanliness speaks for itself. The kitchen is the best equipped we’ve used. The owners have gone to significant pains to get good internet across the property. Not easy in a building from 1908. I’m reluctant to offer such a great review in case we can’t get another date next year.

Lovely house in a lovely part of England, feels like going back in time to a better past. Great walking and running opportunities and there are a few decent places to eat within easy walking distance (the one a few doors up was exceptionally good). Enjoyed the time here.
