About this property

Dorm cottage for walkers/cyclists in North York Moors close to Whitby & coast

Comfortable, cosy and well equipped, the former cart-shed is modern on the inside but traditional moorland farm on the outside. This welcoming holiday home is blessed with superb panoramic views from the garden whose peace can be enjoyed with a BBQ, sitting by the firepit and the natural running water. It is attached to a working organic beef farm. Animal housing is half a mile distant, and cows graze outside May-Nov.

The barn is always booked for Sole Use and can be used by couples, families, friends, or colleagues when 10 people share the dorm that can be split into 3 areas by curtains. Please bring a duvet or sleeping bag each.

Stag and hen do's will not be accommodated due to previous negative experience.

The living room is a great space for cooking, eating, socialising and relaxing where the very large double glazed windows give out onto rural pastures. The self-catering kitchen is fully equipped. A TV is provided and WiFi via Superfast Broadband is free of charge.

The washroom is smart and modern with 2 showers, 2 basins and 3 toilets. Every room is kept spotlessly clean.

The owners are welcoming and friendly and will leave you to enjoy your own company in this truly exceptional setting. The party wall with the farmhouse is fully soundproofed.

Responsible dog owners are welcome (one dog per booking), but the farm animals must be respected. It is important to pick up all dog dung as it can carry diseases to cattle and humans.

Attractive seaside spots are all 20-30 minutes away: Whitby, Runswick Bay, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay. York, Scarborough and Middlesbrough are all 50 minutes drive. There is a train station in Glaisdale on the Esk Valley (Mbro-Whitby) line that links to the steam line operated between Whitby-Grosmont-Pickering, a train spotter's delight. And the moors are on the doorstep, so there is no need to take the car for great walks or cycle rides. The National Parks Moors Centre at Danby is 15 minutes drive or a morning's walk away and local pubs pride themselves on hearty dining.

The farm was spot on for our family, especially our three energetic boys - climbing hills, riding bikes, toasting marshmallows on the fire, visiting the cows. It was all great. and Deni and Joe and their family were incredibly welcoming. Would highly recommend staying here.

Freinds reunited!

Our group was looking for a beautiful location to sit around a fire, have a few drinks and reminisce. We went for a fantastic walk to the horseshoe hotel and had a few pints and some dinner. Everyone in the group loved it. We would definitely return

About the host

Hosted by Emma, Chris, Sim

Host profile image
We are a family-run working organic beef farm. Chris and Emma are planning to step back from full-time work in the next few years and leave the farm and holiday rental management in the hands of sons Sim and Joe & his wife Demi, parents to 3 children aged 6, 4 and 9 months (Mar 2024). We all love the life outdoors, appreciating nature and wildlife. Much of the farm is fenced off from the cattle to allow grass- and woodland to its own devices.

Why they chose this property

The views of Glaisdale valley are a tonic for the soul and allow your eyes to focus far into the distance. People in the area are friendly and traffic is minimal.

What makes this property unique

Access to our property is up a farm track through our neighbours' fields, so the nearest tarmacked road is half a mile away. Rural walks or cycle rides can start from the front door. We appreciate the peace that can be felt here and encourage others to share and maintain this atmosphere.
