The semi-detached cottage has had a newly fitted kitchen in 2022 and sits within the grounds of the owner’s home just a short walk from one of the smallest pubs in the UK, known for its traditional ales and warm friendly welcome. Beck Hole is located deep in the valley with the holiday cottage overlooking the village just a short stroll from the local pub. Stunning valleys and sweeping hillside views can be enjoyed from the idyllic location of the cottage. You could almost be anywhere in the world, close your eyes and listen to the silence interrupted only by bird song. Cycle tracks, bridle paths and walkways abound from the doorstep with quaint little villages popping up when you least expect it.
It is just 1 mile from the well-known village of Goathland best known for its connections with Heartbeat, indeed Hill Farm in which The Dairy sits was used for many of the film shoots. The village green is lined with quaint curio shops, inns and tea rooms serving some of Yorkshire’s finest cuisine. You can board the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Train here and take a memorable journey through the glorious Esk Valley as it steams its way across the valleys into the historic market town of Pickering. The ancient sea port of Whitby is just a short drive over the moors, eight miles, a colourful harbour leads to the three mile stretch of sandy beach overlooked and almost protected by the ancient abbey ruins and St Mary’s church. The brave (and fit) can take the 199 steps up to the abbey ruins where panoramic views over Whitby across to Sandsend can be enjoyed. Explore the smugglers coves of Robin Hoods Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes or visit the more elegant seaside resort of Scarborough, Britain’s first ever seaside resort. It would take a lifetime to explore the delights on offer in this beautiful part of the world. With country shows and fairs throughout the summer you will be spoilt for choice. Shop and restaurant 1 mile, pub 600 yards.

We had a lovely week at the dairy, the cottage was well equipped and very comfortable and warm. Lots of walks direct from the door, whether you choose to go up on to the moors or down into the beautiful village of Beck Hole with the lovely rail trail walk into Grosmont or to the Mallyan spout waterfall and Goathland. Made good use of the hot tub even though it hailed once. Very peaceful location, lots of wildlife to see, loved peeping through the fence to see if the cats were snoozing in their beds in the greenhouse. Thanks for a wonderful week.

We had a fantastic week at The Dairy. It was so comfortable and felt like home from home. It was extremely well stocked with the essentials and the hot tub was a bonus! In a secluded spot but a short drive to Goathland and to Whitby. A lovely base for walking and exploring the local area. The WiFi was patchy but that’s to be expected in such a remote area.
