Countless pretty villages, including Hutton-le-Hole, Rosedale and Goathland, offer hand-picked holiday homes, and coastal retreats in places like Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay sit at the edge of the North York Moors National Park.

Many of our cottages welcome dogs, while others feature hot tubs, enclosed gardens and countryside views. Whether you're looking for a short break or a longer stay, you'll find a holiday cottage that's perfectly placed for exploring the moors, coast and countryside.

Explore the North York Moors

Famous for its heather-covered moorland, wooded valleys and historic villages, the North York Moors is one of the most varied landscapes in England. Spend your days walking sections of the Cleveland Way or Coast to Coast national trails, cycling quiet country lanes or exploring the miles of tree-lined pathways that wind through Dalby Forest.

The area is rich in heritage too. Discover historic abbeys and castles, wander through market towns such as Helmsley and Pickering, or take a journey on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway as it passes through some of the national park's most scenic countryside. At the east edge of the moors is the Esk Valley with villages such Egton, Sleights and Lealholm and a path alongside the River Esk that you can follow to Whitby and explore villages like Runswick Bay, Robin Hood’s Bay and Sandsend that make up the North York Moors Heritage Coastline. The national park is also renowned for its dark skies, making it one of the best places in the country for stargazing. Spend the evening to Dalby Forest, where there are observatories and regular stargazing events or head to The Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge which is the highest point of the North York Moors and renowned for its dark skies.
