Cottage holiday rentals in North Yorkshire

Had a lovely weekend at this cottage for my partner’s birthday. Hot tub was gorgeous, even better in the rain. House was beautiful and having the chickens running around outside was fabulous. Marisa was the perfect host. Answered questions quickly and was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend a stay in this lovely cottage.

3 Railway Cottage is a fantastic base to explore the amazing beauty of North Yorkshire. The cottage is located a 20 minute walk from the centre of Pickering but is in a really quiet and private location. The only exception of course is the opportunity to wave at the heritage railway trains that pass at the back of the cottage a few times a day which is really amazing, especially if you wave from the comfort of the hot tub! I can’t recommend this location highly enough, it is a really comfortable and well equipped cottage in a fantastic location - what more could you ask for?

We had a lovely weekend the games room is a perfect touch. A very well equipped cottage. the books and wide selection of board games is a lovely touch. Hot tub is a really good size. The hosts are welcoming and on hand. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay.

what an absolutely amazing place to visit, with one of the moat picturesque views of the Yorkshire Dale anyone could wish from right in the backgarden. the cottage is spotless and has everything you could want for a break away.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Walking the surrounding area from the house was great and very near to a pub and tearoom which both served great food. The hot tub was an added bonus!

Beautifully furnished barn. Smelt amazing. Easy check in. Peaceful surroundings.

Amazing Stay at The Old Potting Shed! This break was a last minute booking for us and really exceeded our expectations. The old potting shed is a beautiful accommodation, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The hosts James and Rachel could not have been more responsive or more friendly. I had mentioned it was my birthday and the property was decorated with balloons, chocolates and prosecco. We had fresh eggs in the morning from their hens which was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Every utensil you could think of was provided, it really was a little home from home! Location was just a short drive into York but there are some nice walks nearby. We also enjoyed the local village pub which was just at the end of the long driveway, food and drinks were delicious. Overall I’m so glad we found this place, it’s a credit to the hosts. We have recommended to family and friends and can’t wait to return. Thanks again for your hospitality James & Rachel x

Wonderfully peaceful location. Holly Toft is a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay. We paticularly appreciated how much care was given to ensuring the hot tub was spotlessly clean and freshly filled for our arrival. Kathryn is a superb host who clearly cares a lot about her guests. The field full of adorable lambs to look out on was a delightful bonus! Highly recommend! Thank you Kathryn.

Excellent stay in Pickering, the house is exactly as described and more! Very well equipped and a real home from home. It is on one of the main roads but as others have said the thoughtful ear plugs made all the difference and we had no problem finding parking every day. This is a fantastic base for exploring the local area. Highly recommended

Fabulous stay at HOTH. Beautiful cottage with everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. WiFi was great and instructions to find the cottage were very clear and easy to check in. Fabulous location in the delightful village of Hawes - so many lovely places to eat and fantastic walks from the doorstep. Definitely recommend visiting the local creamery and Simonstone Hall for a drink with a great view! Our second visit here and sure we’ll be back for a third!

I managed to book this at the hottest weekend with my dog that doesn’t do heat! Matthew and Jess were brilliant, they provided a fan, ice pops for us and the dog! They thought of everything and fabulous recommendations. Sadly my dog was not well and we had to leave almost as soon as we had arrived to get to my vets The place was gorgeous though, will definitely try to go back when it’s cooler!

Wow! What a fantastic place to stay. The cottage was a perfect haven for a relaxing holiday. The scenery was breathtaking, and we spent much of the time gazing out of the window at the dramatic weather and wildlife. We wished we could have stayed longer! And will recommend it to all our friends. Many thanks Sally, Kevin and Pippa 🐾

Wonderful place with the comfiest bed ever. Such Wonderful views. watching the swallows. Everything we needed for a couple of nights. Would have loved some milk in the fridge but not too far to local farm shop to stock up.

A perfect spot for a calm, away from it stay for us. Felt at home straight away, slept brilliantly and so handy for delightful walks to and from the village pubs. Monty our dog felt the same! Owner and local lady housekeeper could not have been more helpful. Impossible to fault - many thanks Andrew

Crossmore Lodge is a very comfortable and welcoming home from home. Its location is ideal for easy access to York centre with its many attractions and restaurants as well as out to the surrounding area. Anne is an excellent host and is on hand to answer any questions and to offer any assistance necessary. We will certainly return to Crossmore Lodge if, or when, we visit the York area again.

We had a great stay at Elm Tree Cottage! The house is beautifully decorated, really clean and they’ve thought of everything you may need during your stay. After travelling 3 hours it was great to arrive to a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, cake and bottled water - helped us out before our Tesco delivery arrived! (Thank you again!) The local area is so peaceful, the people are really nice and the walks are endless. Ed and Caroline are great hosts, they respond quick and provide lots of information over messages and also in the cottage. We visited the local pub and enjoyed the fish and chip van that goes there every Thursday! The cottage is a great base to then explore walks further out and lots of lovely towns not too far to visit.

Saltwater cottage was absolutely fantastic! In the perfect spot near the harbour, it’s literally steps away from the best spot to watch the sun going down over the beautiful cliffs surrounding a Staithes. The cottage was squeaky clean and had everything we needed for a fab stay. Bed was super comfy and cosy shower was perfect and living room lovely to sit with a glass of wine. We ate in the Cod & Lobster and the Royal George both were great. Lovely cliff walk to Runswick Bay is also recommended. Staithes is a really stunning village and we’ll definitely be back to stay at Saltwater cottage!

We had a great stay in Hawes, the house had everything we needed. Hawes and surrounding areas are beautiful. Diane left some suggestions of things to do and we did the waterfall in Hardraw, and the highest inn in England, both fantastic.

Cosy cottage convenient for York and the Yorkshire Moors. Angie provided very clear instructions and promptly replied to any queries. A nice touch was finding some essentials such as tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival. Fast wifi and a sunny outdoors space helped make for a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended.

My brother and I booked this cottage for our parents 70th birthdays and 50th wedding anniversary gift. It was in an ideal location giving that it is right near the harbour and my mum is a bit of a boat watcher. Mum said the views out to the harbor were stunning. Penny's communication from the time of booking up to the day they departed from the cottage was always prompt, polite and very informative. The cottage had everything they needed, it was very clean and had a comfortable bed. It is in a fantastic location for trips out. They would highly recommend this cottage to others.

Beautiful, clean and neat accommodation with great access to the North York Moors, Coast and the Dales. A relaxing and private space with friendly responsive hosts in Alex and Hannah. Thanks for a wonderful break!

The cottage was lovely; lots of lovely touches and decor. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need, with tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate etc provided. The beds were super comfy. We were a little nervous of the parking situation, but it was absolutely fine - the square is very open with quite a few cars parked overnight, so we didn’t feel at all concerned about leaving the car. It was a little noisy with lorry traffic in the night and early hours, so worth taking ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise. Overall we had a lovely stay. We were lucky enough to have dinner at Where There’s Smoke, and we really recommend it for a special meal.

If I could give this Airbnb a 10, I would absolutely give it a 10. I had the best time while staying there. Beautiful flowing stream just makes it even more relaxing when the windows are open. The Debra Cottage is so beautiful and more. Cozy, safe, and lots of trail hiking nearby. I can’t recommend the cottage more as I just loved it and felt right at home.

We had an amazing weekend at this cottage. It’s beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we could need. The surrounding area is stunning and perfect for walks. Highly recommend!
