Wander through the magical estate or relax on your private patio and watch the wildlife when you stay at this heavenly haven on the fringes of Goathland. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom hideaway makes a magical retreat for a couple seeking to immerse themselves in the magnificent North York Moors National Park. Situated 5 miles from Sleights and 9 miles from Whitby, it is also perfectly positioned for days out to the coast.

Head into this exquisite cottage to find stylish, boutique hotel-style decor. Sumptuous yet welcoming, this is the ideal place for you and your loved one to indulge in some quiet time together. Settle back on the plump sofa in the lounge/diner to watch a film on TV as the wood burner crackles gently in the background. Take turns at whipping up candle-lit dinners in the compact yet pristine kitchen where you will find everything you need to assist you. Enjoy your meal together either inside or out, depending on the weather. At the end of each fabulous day, head through to your chic, king-size bedroom to find the luxury continues. There is also a spa-style shower room where you can enjoy a steaming hot shower when you awake. Grill fresh Yorkshire produce out on the BBQ on fine days and open a bottle of chilled wine to enjoy as you take in the views. Amble through the shared gardens to find pretty corners in which you can spread out a rug and enjoy a picnic.

Strike out on walks or cycle rides straight from the cottage. Head into Whitby to see the abbey ruins, potter in the shops and spend time on the beach. Also visit picturesque Robin Hood’s Bay, 12.5 miles away. Follow a section of the Cleveland Way along the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast.

Another lovely trip to this idyllic and unspoilt location. We thoroughly enjoyed the comforts of this wonderful property with its stunning views, peaceful surroundings and well-equipped interior. Despite bitterly cold weather we were warm and cosy; the snowfall only added to the picture postcard scene. Cant want to return again soon, thank you.

A beautiful, cosy cottage in a secluded location on Orchard Farm. It was well equipped for our needs with a lot of thought having clearly been given to detail. Plenty of space and seating for eating outside and relaxing if the weather allows. Hosts very hospitable and friendly with a generous welcome starter pack there on our arrival.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location overlooking fields, wooded valleys and up to the top of the moor. Deer and hares seen regularly in the fields just down from the cottage. The accommodation itself was spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. All tucked away from the farmhouse in amongst well maintained gardens with great views.

The cottage although compact is beautifully furnished and equipped and in a tranquil setting. Local restaurants re in walking dustance and provide a good choice. Local walks are abundant and the coast is only a 20 minute drive across the moors.

Perfect place for a romantic retreat. A beautifully designed space in a peaceful rural location. Goathland is a good village to explore the area from, with plenty of amenities within the village plus it's close to the coast (Whitby) too, a journey which can be done by bus or steam train. We really enjoyed our stay.
