Dilston House

About this property

Dilston House rests in the heart of Goathland, North Yorkshire, offering a charming and well-presented cottage that’s perfectly suited to families, keen walkers and anyone eager to explore the North York Moors. Step inside and you’re greeted by a bright sitting room, where a woodburning stove creates a welcoming focal point, ideal for settling in after a day roaming the moorland trails or breathing in the sea air along the nearby coast. The kitchen on the ground floor is equipped with all the essentials for easy self-catering, while the separate dining room provides a pleasant setting for relaxed suppers and plotting the next day’s adventure.

Upstairs, three bedrooms, a double and two twins, all with wash basins, offer flexible sleeping arrangements for families or small groups. These are served by a bathroom with a bath and hand-held shower, separate walk-in shower, basin and WC, along with the added convenience of a separate cloakroom. Outside, an enclosed front lawn offers a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the fresh moorland air, and off-road parking for several cars makes arrival straightforward. With three well-behaved pets welcome, Dilston House is a fine choice for those travelling with dogs, with walks and open countryside right on the doorstep. A village shop and friendly pub can be found nearby, while Whitby’s historic harbour, sandy beaches and famous abbey are within driving distance for a classic day by the sea.

Surrounded by sweeping moors, scenic railways and characterful villages, Dilston House makes a delightful base for discovering the beauty and heritage of the North York Moors.

The idyllic village of Goathland is set on the north eastern edge of the North York Moors National Park. It is surrounded by the rugged open moorlands which provide excellent walking country and on which sheep graze freely. The village has been popularised by the television programme Heartbeat. At the bottom of the village lies the station for the famous North York Moors Steam Railway. Here you can catch a train to Whitby or Pickering and relax as the train winds its way through the moors. Goathland is within easy reach of the East Coast towns of Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough, making it a great holiday base.
