Reviews

Lovely property, great location. Cosy

Mr James G,

Fabulous cottage in a super location. Lovely views from the bedrooms. Comfy and cozy. Excellent shower and bath. All mod cons in a characterful, historic cottage. Useful buses available and walks straight from the door. We'd very happily return.

Mr Matthew B,

Charming property, very comfortable & an enjoyable stay. Thank you

Mr Phillip C,

Furnished and equipped to a very high standard.

Mrs Elaine W,

Lovely, well equipped cottage in a quiet village setting, great local pub serving good food. Lots of good walking opportunities from the doorstep. Plenty to see and do in the area, would recommend visits to Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes, Saltburn by the sea. Would recommend this property to family and friends.

Mr Michael S,

Area Information

Aislaby
Aislaby is a beautiful village set in the countryside only three miles from the historic town of Whitby. It is a tranquil place providing lovely views across the Esk Valley towards neighbouring villages including Sleights. Many of the stone houses in the village were built from locally quarried stone. The Aislaby quarry was reopened in 2002 and supplies some of the finest sandstone for buildings in London and English seaside piers. The final resting place of famous Whitby photographer, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, can be seen in the graveyard. It is a stunning location with fabulous views of the countryside. You will access to great walks from the village and also has good cycling routes through the Esk Valley and also over the North York Moors.
