Guests say
Eversfield is a spacious, well-equipped cottage in a picturesque setting, ideal for multi-generational family gatherings and dog-friendly holidays. Guests praise the ample amenities, including a hot tub, games room, and beautiful gardens with stunning views. The property is comfortable and offers plenty of space for relaxation and activities. While a few minor maintenance and cleanliness issues were noted, these did not detract from the overall positive experience. The thoughtful touches and responsive owners are frequently mentioned, making this a highly recommended choice for a memorable stay in the Whitby area.
Most guests found the property clean and well-presented, with only occasional comments about areas needing a deeper clean, some towels being worn, and minor mould or maintenance issues. These were outweighed by the general impression of tidiness and comfort.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, proximity to scenic walks, and easy access to Whitby, Scarborough, and local amenities. The peaceful village setting is a highlight, though a car is recommended for exploring further afield.
Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and plenty of areas to relax. The house accommodates large groups with ease, and the multiple lounges and outdoor spaces add to the overall comfort.
Facilities such as the hot tub, games room, sauna, and well-equipped kitchen are frequently praised. Minor issues included occasional maintenance needs (e.g., broken washing machine, dripping taps, garden furniture), but these did not significantly impact enjoyment.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome cakes and festive decorations, though these are not guaranteed for every stay. Communication with the owners is described as excellent and responsive.

Set in the village of Goathland, perhaps better known as Aidensfield from the TV series Heartbeat, in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, it is in an excellent area for walking – the North Yorks Moors steam railway stops at the village station on its journey from Pickering to Grosmont. Horse riding can also be found nearby.
Whitby being only 9 miles away is a picturesque seaport famous for its Captain Cook connections, where the cobbled streets and yards stand in the shadow of the Abbey, overlooking the harbour. The 3 miles of sandy beaches lead to the pretty coastal village of Sandsend. Robin Hood’s Bay (renowned as a bygone smugglers’ haunt), Runswick Bay and Staithes are all worth a visit. Inland, the moors are scattered with villages, many with excellent inns. Goathland itself offers an excellent choice of inns and restaurants, in addition to local shops, post office and cafés.

We stayed at Eversfield as part of the celebrations for our 50th wedding anniversary. We were accompanied by our son and daughter and their respective families. Eversfield is located near the village green in Goathland. (Where Heartbeats was filmed). The house was extremely clean, well equipped and the children loved the hot tub. Storms Austen and BOELO hit the area whilst we were staying and took out the power one evening and damaged the hot tub cover. (Reported to owner).The house is located close to several walks around the village and surrounding moors. Also convenient for visits to Whitby and York.Excellent accommodation for a large group.

Wow, this house has everything and more! So much space, we were mum and dad with our 3 children 2 with Partners and 2 grandchildren and 1 dog. Plenty of room for hide and seek! More than enough utensils, cutlery, dinner sets and glasses. Well equipped within the kitchen. Toys/games for both children and adults.Lovely family walks without having to take the car.Only minor complaint and it's not really a complaint , is where the dartboard is, not much room and pretty cold, the men in our family are darts players! Thankyou so much for the use of this house.

We had a lovely family holiday. There were 11 of us from 4 weeks to 88years of age! Such a stylish and comfortable home from home with everything you could need. Perfect spaces for cosy movie nights, family games and peaceful moments. Hot tub and games room were well used. Kitchen was fully equipped and great for big family meals. Choice of sitting rooms great for when a bit of space is needed. Beautiful conservatory and outdoor amenities. Play area is great for kids.
