Holiday Cottages Yorkshire Moors & Coast

Here's what you can see and do when staying at one of our holiday cottages in Yorkshire.

By selecting one of our holiday cottages Yorkshire and its beautiful countryside and coastline beckons. Many motorists drive onto the North York Moors up the steep hill that passes the famous White Horse of Kilburn, carved into the chalk escarpment rising from the Vale of York and well known for its panoramic views. This area, designated a National Park, is a landscape of bleakly beautiful moors and lush green valleys, perfect for walkers of all levels. An alternative way of discovering the area is to take a steam train ride on the North York Moors Railway through the heart of the moors. The moors drop dramatically down to the sea forming, a ragged coastline dotted with charming fishing villages such as Staithes and Robin Hoods Bay where traditional North Yorkshire cottages clinging to the cliffs. Between the two lies a seaside town dominated by the famous ruins of St Hilda's Abbey.

Whitby holiday cottages have long been a favourite seaside destination for holidaymakers. Spreading below the town is a maze of alleyways and narrow streets running down to the busy quayside, where you find the famous Magpie Cafe, reputed to be the best fish and chip cafe in the country. From the old town next to some of our Whitby holiday cottages 199 steps lead up to the parish church of St. Mary, whose churchyard on Whitby's East Cliff gave Bram Stoker the inspiration to write his world famous book, Dracula. Further down the coast is Scarborough, an interesting mix of fishing port, former spa town with elegant hotels and a modern family seaside resort overlooked by a medieval castle. If you're planning a break in North Yorkshire cottages these resorts offer an ideal base for exploring this region.
