Extra Amenities

Close to the village of Goathland, Ivy Cottage is a luxurious, large, semi-detached cottage with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. The original building dates back to the 1800s and has been renovated to a high standard with a modern décor. The kitchen/dining room has a real social feel, and is ideal for sitting down to a meal with all the family. The living room offers a warming multi-fuel burner, perfect for relaxing in front of after a day of exploration, and the study/games room is stocked with books, board games and a games console for a bit of family fun. The garden room key aspect is the opening of the 3x bi-folding doors onto large decked areas for an amazing outside living experience. The ground floor bedroom and en-suite wet room is ideal for less mobile guests and also has 3x bi-folding doors out onto the decked areas with views over spacious gardens and the North York Moors Railway. Three more bedrooms can be found on the first floor, one offering en-suite facilities, as well as a large family bathroom.

Ivy Cottage is situated just outside the hamlet of Beck Hole, one of Yorkshire’s best kept secrets, and just outside the village of Goathland from the ’Heartbeat’ TV show fame. This stunning cottage is just a short walk from one of the smallest pubs in the UK, known for its traditional ales and warm friendly welcome. Stunning valleys and sweeping hillside views can be enjoyed from this idyllic location as can the many cycle tracks, bridle paths and walkways all from the doorstep.

Nearby Whitby is increasingly popular with holidaymakers all year round as it has something to offer all the family, including 3 miles of golden sandy beach, donkey rides and ice creams. Climb the 199 steps to the gothic Whitby Abbey, which was made famous by Bram Stoker’s ’Dracula’, or take a stroll along the cobbled streets taking in some of the older parts of town with its jet stone boutiques.

Whitby has an up and coming foody scene too, with everything from Michelin star restaurants and award-winning fish and chips, to tea rooms and family friendly pubs, many of which are dog friendly. There is also a golf course nearby and many boats offering tourist trips out to sea in search of seals, dolphins and even minke whales in the right season.

The Yorkshire Heritage Coast is dotted with hidden gems such as Staithes and Runswick Bay to the north, and Robin Hood’s Bay to the south. Robin Hood’s Bay can be reached along the Cinder Track walk and cycle way, and the Cleveland Way also makes its way along the tops of cliffs and into some of the bays, offering superb photo opportunities along its path. The North York Moors National Park is right on the doorstep, with its hundreds of walking routes which take in the Falling Foss Waterfall and The Moors National Park Centre. Beach 9 miles. Shop and restaurant 2 miles, pub ¼ mile.
