Recently refurbished, there's a bit of a natural connection going on in the interior design of this home in the village of Stamford Bridge. As well as house plants dotted liberally about the place — often in unique pots — we spotted an array of woven furnishings and artwork dedicated to the great outdoors. We should also mention the actual outdoors space at this point, too. Step out the back door and you'll find a patio with alfresco seating and a barbecue, which will both come into their own on summer evenings. This overarching theme feels apt given the beautiful countryside within easy reach of the property. The charming Fairy Sanctuary attraction at Northwood Trail is only eighteen minutes away on foot, while the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty takes about the same amount of time in the car. If you fancy a day in town, however, the centre of York is only a twenty-five-minute drive.

Set in one of the most beautiful parts of Yorkshire, this formerly derelict barn was chanced across by its owners in 2015, and lovingly converted into the stunning home it is today. The vibe is English country, with real moments of grandeur. With antlers on the walls, fine china ornaments, touches of tartan, and a solid teak dining table that wouldn’t look out of place in a stately home, it’s the kind of place you can imagine a hunting party coming back to after a day out on the moors. The grand feel continues in the bedrooms, each of which is as luxurious as the last but has its own unique design. We can see ourselves spending windswept days walking the hills of God’s Own Country before returning to pre-dinner drinks by the fire in the snug (the original stone floor is particularly gorgeous). Once the kids are set up with a movie in the second living room, a candlelit meal around the dining table beckons, followed by a session in the wood-fired hot tub.

We're pretty sure that you won't find many cottages cuter than this. Built at the backend of the eighteenth century, this traditional weaver's house is Grade-II listed and you can see why. Inside, the wooden ceiling beams, exposed brickwork and stable door are full of rustic charm, while a log-burning fire and antique furnishings add an extra level of cosiness. To the side of the home, there's a patio area complete with alfresco seating where you can enjoy a coffee and the surrounding tranquillity of West Yorkshire. Fans of Last of the Summer Wine — one of the longest-running sitcoms in the world — will love walking around the local town of Holmfirth where it was filmed. The Peak District is only a ten-minute drive away too if you're in the mood for a long ramble.

While the cottage retains its original character, the inside has been fully renovated and restored, offering all the modern comforts to make your stay a restful one.

This wonderfully modern home is the perfect place to stay during a trip to the quirky town of Whitby. It's very centrally located, just a few minutes away from all the main attractions, so you're guaranteed to have some great times here.

Chic grey and cream tones melt together into a soothing colour palette that creates a tranquil ambiance throughout. You'll love the open-plan set-up, which makes it easy to chat with your guests as you cook, eat, and relax. And, the best bit is your very own balcony, offering views across to the boats floating in Whitby harbour. 

If you fancy a beach day, gather up your towels and take a fifteen-minute stroll down to the seashore. Fans of the classic Bram Stoker novel, Dracula, can climb the 199 steps up to visit the iconic Whitby Cathedral and St Mary's Church. And, with the North York Moors National Park just four minutes away by car, walkers and cyclists can easily explore the dramatic landscapes.

Slow down and start living the country life at this newly-built cottage set deep in rural North Yorkshire on a private gated estate. Surrounded by green paddocks and grazing horses, its setting is postcard-perfect, and things only get better inside. Elegantly styled into a luxurious hideaway, contemporary artwork and statement lighting bring a flare of modernity, while supped-up bathrooms and a bubbly hot tub outside dial up the wow factor.

In summer months, slide back the bi-fold doors and pad out across the Indian sandstone terrace outside to drink up the morning's rays over coffees or enjoy a glass of something bubbly as the sun goes down. The outdoor Sonos speaker will bring the ambience. Meanwhile, winter days are all about cosying up indoors with endless rounds of tea as you soak up the panoramic vistas from the sofa.

With endless green views stretching to the Cleveland Hills, you could feel a million miles from anywhere. But when it’s time to dip your toes into country life, the bucolic towns of Yarm (a four-mile drive) and Darlington (a ten-mile drive) are within easy reach. And even closer, the peaceful village of Aislaby. Or, for a dose of coastal air, Saltburn-by-the-sea (a short drive away) will deliver all the seaside nostalgia you’re chasing.

Country Diaries

Enjoy a coastal retreat with a difference when you stay at this enchanting gatehouse in the grounds of a manor house. Approach the impressive wrought iron gates, and walk up the cobblestone path that winds through the pretty garden to the seafoam-green front door. With the clever use of traditional-style features you’ll be surprised to learn that this cottage was actually built in the modern day. Throw open the French doors to take in the fresh air as you sit down to dinner lovingly prepared in the country-style kitchen, or head outside to the teak root table for a spot of alfresco dining. Afterwards, gather around the gas stove to play a board game, settle down on the sofa with a good book, or sink into the luxurious roll-top bath. From the upstairs bedroom, you’ll even catch a glimpse of the enchanting ruins of Whitby Abbey. It’s only a fifteen-minute stroll into the town centre for fish and chips, and a little further to the shore if you want to enjoy an ice cream at the beach. And if you fancy exploring further afield, then the beautiful North York Moors are just outside the town. 

Gates of Green Gables

In the centre of Whitby, this apartment puts a Blue Flag beach and narrow, medieval alleyways within easy walking distance. It’s a five-minute jaunt to the sprawling sands of Whitby Beach and you can even take the lift down the cliffs. A five-minute dander in the other direction sees you at the riverfront, where award-winning fish and chips await.

After a day exploring the gothic history of Whitby, return to a haven of calm at this apartment. The neutral-toned decor provides a soothing spot to unwind in the living room where a wood-burning stove keeps things cosy. Herringbone floor runs throughout the ground floor, and the kitchen in sleek dove grey has everything you need for self-catering. Retire to the bedroom with a big bay window and awake naturally to sunlight streaming in. 

The Salt Collector

Live in ‘Gentleman Jack’ luxury style in this five-storey Georgian townhouse located in the heart of Whitby that will truly make for a memorable stay on the North Yorkshire coast. With a stunning balcony terrace and bar area on the top floor of this home, you are afforded incredible views over Whitby, stretching all the way to the Abbey, which can be enjoyed as you sip your morning Yorkshire tea or as the sun sets over cocktails at happy hour. 

On the other side of Whitby, you will find narrow medieval streets with boutiques and pubs. Plus, roughly a twelve-minute walk from your door, you can also discover the ruins of Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s classic gothic novel, ‘Dracula’. What’s more, you can even go on a ‘Dracula’ experience, reachable in just six minutes on foot from this home. 

To make the most of your seaside escape, the Blue Flag West Cliff beach, and promenade are just a five-minute walk away. While nestled on the West Cliff, lining Pier Road – which can be reached in eight minutes on foot – you’ll find arcades for hours of fun on rainy days and Whitby’s famous fish restaurants serving the catch of the day because it simply wouldn’t be a beach holiday without fish and chips. 

On sunny evenings, take advantage of the courtyard on the ground floor of this home, and dine alfresco before ending the evening with drinks on the balcony to admire the views one last time. Then curl up on the comfy sofas to relax after an exhausting day of exploring and climbing the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. Finally, slip into the plush bedding and luxury linens to ensure you have a great night's sleep, ready for another day of adventures.

Ten minutes in the other direction, you’ll find the quaint town of Holmfirth to stock up on groceries and visit the local pubs and cafés. There’s a local pub and bakery a fifteen-minute stroll into the hamlet of Hepworth too.

After a day trekking in the Peaks, this is the perfect spot to put your feet up. Unlace your hiking boots and warm your toes by the wood-burning stove in the living room. ‘Cosy’ is the watchword here, with old wooden gables on display and thick stone walls keeping things warm once the stove gets going. There’s a little selection of holiday reads for evenings by the fire and a full kitchen for meals at home. In the sunny summer months, make use of the patio, furnished with a bistro table for two. From here, the only sound is the odd bleet from sheep in the field next door.

Sea View Bliss

Cloaked in ivy, this home's stone-clad facade charms from the outset. You'll find it situated in an old school house in the heart of Richmond, brimming with character. Adorning a timeless canvas of high ceilings and hardwood, heated floors, exquisitely renovated interiors are equal parts cosy and chic, while huge windows usher in floods of natural light. We especially love the open-plan living space, primed for relaxation with a fully-fitted kitchen, large dining table and cosy lounge. Outside, a patio equipped with furniture and potted plants offers an idyllic spot for sunbathing in the warmer months.

Here, you're perfectly positioned to explore, just shy of a seven-minute walk from Richmond Castle and even closer to the cobbled market square. After a restful slumber in the sumptuous bedrooms – dressed with premium linens and eco-friendly Harrison Spinks mattresses – brew your morning fix with the Smeg coffee machine before slipping out for a stroll. Head across Mercury Bridge and towards the Old Richmond station, where an art gallery, three-screen cinema an award-winning array of eateries is sure to keep your clan entertained. If you fancy venturing further afield, lace up your walking boots and hike through the wild, untouched beauty of the Yorkshire Dales – a twenty-minute drive away.

Ivy & Gold

Lift Access

Thanks to its prime coastline location and eclectic history, Whitby has been drawing in tourists for hundreds of years and if you're tempted to pay a visit, this home is a great base from which to explore the Yorkshire town.

Rather ironically, it's what lies outside that makes this apartment special – gaze out through the windows and you're treated to a sublime view of the North Sea. There's also a private balcony just off the kitchen in case you fancy starting the day with coffee and the sun on your skin – can't we be optimistic?

There's also a lot to like about the interiors, too. The design in the living room is a quirky mix of vintage and contemporary, as seen with the tan leather sofas sitting underneath a grand chandelier. You'll find the kitchen to be decently enough sized for bouts of home cooking and there are no complaints about the minimalist bedrooms, either.

So, what's there to do nearby? Well, quite a lot as it happens. West Cliff Beach and the promenade are about five minutes' walk from the front door, while the famed Whitby Abbey and 199 steps are just over twenty minutes away on foot, crossing the River Esk in the process.

Seafront Sanctuary

This elegant cottage in the ancient town of Pickering had us on the private outdoor terrace alone. But step inside, and this home keeps on surprising. 

We'd call it a love nest for two, but it's just too big for that. Crash out in the snuggly living room, with rattan accents and statement lighting, bringing a dash of modernity. Rustle up a meal in the made-for-action gallery kitchen. Then settle down for a tête-à-tête and evening meal in the separate dining room, with french doors leading out onto that terrace. 
When legs are weary after days exploring the Yorkshire Dales, sink into the enormous freestanding bath, and upstairs, a luxurious bedroom awaits to bank a peaceful night's sleep. 

Just outside this home, wander-worthy cobbled streets lead down to a medieval castle and the town's very own steam railway station to transport you back in time (both less than five minutes on foot). 

There's plenty to do in the lands beyond, too, if you'd rather up the ante. The North York Moors national park is just a three-minute drive away (forty minutes on foot). 

And when thoughts turn to food, there are some delightful pubs just moments away. And a charming tearoom for your fix of Yorkshire Fat Rascals is dangerously close - it's just below your door.

That would be reason enough to visit, but there's a great range of attractions on the local farm that sweeten the deal even more. A minute's walk from the front door is a natural spa in which you can book a session and be pampered, while you can also try your hand at various outdoor activities, including archery and axe-throwing. There are even onsite private catering options, just in case you'd like dinner or afternoon tea delivered to your door.

Unbridled

Games Room

Full of countryside charm, this Grade II listed farmhouse is a perfect place for a family gathering. The flexible sleeping arrangements mean the bedrooms can be split into single beds if preferred, so whatever your set-up, it can be accommodated with ease.

Locally, a guided walk of the deer park is a must, with the red deer herd visible from the house. 

The Lincolnshire Sun

Single-Level Home

In the heart of historic Whitby, this snug apartment provides the perfect retreat for two. Cosy and contemporary, what it lacks in space, it more than makes up for in comfort. We can already picture ourselves sinking into the plush sofa with a cup of Yorkshire brew after a day in the fresh sea air. Outside, a charming little patio beckons on summer days – it's a sweet spot to enjoy a glass of wine and nibble on Wensleydale cheese as the sun slowly sets. There's also a sleek kitchen ideal for rustling up lighter bites, a glossy bathroom and a sumptuous bedroom that will leave you feeling well-rested and ready to explore.

The enviable locale makes exploring a breeze. Spend the afternoon dipping in and out of the independent shops, old-world pubs and delicious eateries in the city centre, or head down to the waterfront pier and Blue Flag beach for a taste of the seaside. You also can't miss the famous ruins of Whitby Abbey or the 199 Steps – the views from the top of the hill are hard to beat.

As You Wish

This seaside home is perfectly positioned in the heart of Whitby for exploring its bustling town centre and sandy shores. Bright and stylish, the apartment makes great use of space, with an open concept design that is perfect for kicking up your feet and unwinding after an exciting day out. Bathed in natural light from the double patio doors with views of the sea, the living room comes with comfortable sofas, a telescope for stargazing and nautical-themed art to create a calm ambience. The sleek kitchen features high spec appliances that will make cooking a delight, so whip up a hearty breakfast and head out to your sun-kissed balcony for the perfect start to any day. In a prime location, you’re within walking distance of a surplus of restaurants and cafes waiting to serve up the catch of the day or a local cream tea.

The Seashell

The townhouse is dog-friendly, so your four-legged friends can join in on the fun. Later on, climb the 199 steps to the Church of Saint Mary, or visit the ruins of Whitby Abbey to see what inspired Bram Stoker. 

Pick up world-class fish and chips to take back to the townhouse, and enjoy them in front of the fire. If your legs are aching from the steps, you might enjoy a glass of wine in the free-standing bathtub – the perfect way to end the day. 


Sea Of Wonders

Just a four-minute stroll from the blue flag shores of West Cliff Beach and its cheery beach-hut-lined promenade, this home's location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. Here, you're ten minutes from the bustling town centre on foot and even closer to Pier Road, with its delightful array of waterfront pubs, arcades and seafood restaurants. Across the river, the storied ruins of Whitby Abbey are a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep.

Light-filled and stylishly decorated, this home's interiors beckon you to relax from the moment you step through the door. You'll find it perched on the third floor of a Victorian townhouse and boasting spectacular views of the coast. Admire them whilst preparing a feast in the fully-fitted kitchen and, from the double bedroom, gaze out towards a crystal-clear snapshot of Whitby Abbey. 

After days spent swimming in the North Sea, strolling through the cobbled streets of Whitby's old town or hiking through the North York Moors, you'll love returning to this well-equipped abode.

Fenced Property

Nestled in Sutton-on-the-Forest, just 8 miles north of York, this charming 18th-century cottage welcomes you in with open arms. Perfect for families, the generous country kitchen will quickly become the place where everyone gathers, spilling out into the walled garden for alfresco dining in summer months. The owners live next door and share the gravelled parking area, but you won't hear a peep from them unless you need their help. For those keen to explore the great outdoors, especially if your four-legged friends have joined you for your stay, cross the road and you can walk the ancient woodland of the Sutton Park estate. Further afield, the North York Moors are just a short drive away. 

The Woodlark

Lie low at this Tudor farm cottage, on the doorstep of a 400-acre nature reserve in the glorious Lincolnshire countryside.

Built in 1510 and lovingly restored using traditional handcrafts by the owners, the cottage fuses heritage architecture and cosy countryside living to perfection.

The devil really is in the detail here – from the freshly cut flowers to the gourmet breakfast baskets and afternoon tea spreads (both bookable for an additional fee).

Embrace the great outdoors with a guided reserve tour and spot the wild Exmoor ponies that roam this magnificent landscape – there are wellies and raincoats to borrow should the weather take a turn. Try your hand at archery and axe throwing lessons. Then reward yourself with an evening of pampering at the farm estate's on-site spa (think Cleopatra copper milk and flower baths) – it's just a thirty-second walk from your door.
 
When it comes to the day's end, enjoy long summer nights in the 18th century walled garden beside the firepit. Take things inside to cook up a feast in the shaker-style kitchen, complete with an Aga stove. Break out the home's board games beside the crackling fire. Or head out to nearby South Ferriby for upper crust grub at it's award-winning pub – just a fifteen-minute drive away.


Tudor Dreams

Get back to nature in this eye-catching timber lodge, set in wooded grounds near Whitby. A vaulted main living space and generous bedrooms make this home feel like an American log cabin. With its huge windows giving way to English countryside views though, there’s no mistaking you’re in one of North Yorkshire’s most picturesque spots. There’s plenty of space to socialise in the main living area and out on the deck for alfresco meals, but there are also quiet corners, like the loft, where you can retreat with a good book for some relaxing alone time. When you’re ready to go out and explore, Whitby with its historic harbour and sandy beach is less than a fifteen-minute drive away, while the dramatic sweep of Robin Hood Bay is reachable in twenty. Away from the coast, you have the North York Moors National Park right on your doorstep. After a day in the great outdoors, come back home for a meal around the large dining table followed by a cosy night over drinks around the living room’s wood-burning stove. 


Woodland Glow

This charming Tudor castle, built in 1560, has been fully restored to create the perfect romantic retreat for two. Set in the picturesque Teesdale landscape, this historic property is located near the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Park, as well as the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Guests can admire the ornate roof beams carved from oak trees felled over 400 years ago in the dining hall, and relax in the cosy living room with a wood-burning stove set within a Tudor fireplace. The bedroom features a double bed on an oak floor adorned with Persian rugs and offers stunning views of the walled garden and the high moors beyond. The property also boasts an enclosed courtyard garden and two designated parking spaces. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small additional charge.

The Daffodil Garden

Located just a nine-minute walk from the centre of the lively and beautiful market town of Beverley, this home was built in the mid-eighteenth-century on one of the ancient streets that were once the route for pilgrims visiting the shrine of St John the Minster, and for traders using the Hessle ferry to travel to both Lincolnshire and the London market. 

On warmer days, we would love nothing more than to take our morning cup of tea and breakfast outside to the home’s courtyard to enjoy the fresh air. Then, explore everything that Beverley has to offer, from Saturday markets to antique centres, from its thriving music scene to competitive escape room fun. What’s more, the medieval skyline remains unspoilt, so why not stop at a cafe and enjoy the view?

Plus, Beverley Westwood is roughly a two-minute drive away from this home where you can enjoy leisurely walks, a round of golf or even watch some horse racing at the racecourse. 

In the evening, return to this home which combines period features with the modern lifestyle. Sit back and relax as you enjoy a cinema experience in the living room or curl up in front of the log-burning fire and enjoy a good back. You can even enjoy summer nights alfresco, and stay warm beside the firepit as you roast marshmallows.  

Pilgrimage Point

If you’re looking for an escape to the country, you couldn’t do much better than this charming farmhouse located amidst North Yorkshire’s beautiful rolling hills. Surrounded by a working farm, you'll feel transported to another world as you step into this beautifully detailed home. Sink into the comfort of the leather furniture as you warm yourself by the roaring fire after a refreshing walk in the countryside. Later, gather around the large wooden dining table for a home-cooked meal and take in the breathtaking views of the Howardian hills.

If you like walking with purpose, head out to the nearby village of Ebberston and savour a pint of local ale at the pub. If you fancy a drive, explore the fascinating ruins of castles and abbeys, marvel at steam trains, and bask in the beauty of the sandy beaches as you traverse the picturesque North York Moors.

Farmhand

With bright living spaces, stylish bedrooms, a glossy high-spec kitchen and sleek bathrooms, this home is as fresh as a spring daisy. Set over three floors, every inch here is cool and contemporary, with plenty of room for a family or group of friends to spread out and get comfortable. We love all the mod-cons – think rainfall showers, a double oven and an EV charger in the driveway – and the private garden is the icing on the cake. Open the bi-fold doors and feel the breeze as you share a meal around the dining table, followed by a game of football in the yard as the sun goes down.

Location-wise, this home is nestled in the village of Briggswath on the cusp of North York Moors National Park. We think this locale offers the best of both worlds. Whether you fancy a delicious pub lunch (there's an excellent inn five minutes away), a country walk (there are miles of trails through the Esk Valley heading towards Grosmont) or a day at the beach (Whitby is less than ten minutes away by car) – there's something for everyone to enjoy in this neck of the woods.

Auburn Daisies

Whether you’re curled up in front of the log-burning stove or allowing your cares to melt away in the outdoor hot tub, this quaint cottage will wrap you up in a blanket of comfort and calm. The place is charmingly rustic, in keeping with its old granary heritage – think exposed timber beams, low ceilings, wood elements and cosy furnishings. Get to know your neighbours on arrival – your home is situated next to the paddock where Dave the llama and Bob the pony roam and graze. When you’re ready to explore, lace up your walking boots and delve into the surrounding Yorkshire countryside, or head out to York city centre, just a twenty-minute drive away. Shop along the medieval Shambles before checking out the wealth of characterful restaurants, bars and cafes.
