Overview
Property code: OC-Y103

This individual detached cottage is set in its own grounds on an old mushroom farm, with fantastic views to Easby Moor and Captain Cooks Monument and a hot tub. It is perfectly situated on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and is an ideal place for a peaceful walking or more energetic cycling holiday. This cute and cosy cottage has plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the views. Enjoy an evening in the hot tub looking out across the fields. With secure storage for cycles and plenty on information on routes this could be an ideal base to explore the area on two wheels. Or for those less energetic, the winding roads with sheep wandering across and the spectacular vistas of the moors make it a great place to explore on four wheels.

If you want to eat out the village pub serves breakfast, lunch and evening meal.

Little Haven definitely lived up to its name! The views were breath-taking. Totally peaceful location. Ken met us on our first day to show us around and explain the hot tub etc. Then left us in peace for the duration of our stay. Sitting in the hot tub, glad of wine in hand, looking out over the peaks of north Yorkshire was a delight. Teenage kids Read morewere happy with fast WiFi, smart TV to access Netflix etc and comfy beds. There were plenty of walks of the doorstep, public footpaths lead in both directions from field. The field attached to the cottage was available for us to use with our dog. They're is a cute little stream at the bottom of the field. The only negative about the whole start is that the garden/field are not fully enclosed. However, with careful parking I could create a barrier to make a secure area for our dog. We would absolutely stay again, it was perfect for our family (single mum, 2 feral teens and a large, crazy pup). Head to the bottom of the field and turn right for a walk to The Dudley Arms. A lovely local pub. Head left and you can take a walk to the nearby farm shop and cafe followed my a trek up the Peak to see captain cooks monument. Hide

The cottage was very good and the owners are very friendly and available if you have any concerns. The only suggestion was to enclose the hotuv area from the drive so solo people can use the hot tub but let dogs safely roam the yard area.

Lovely place and very clean. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We took our dog and the owner let us use the large field at the side of the property to walk our dog. Great place to stay with lots of lovely walks nearby and then a nice hot tub to relax in.

We had a really lovely stay at Little Haven. The cottage was warm and very comfortable. It was the perfect base for us to explore the beautiful Yorkshire coast with our dog and to enjoy a quiet getaway. The hot tub was a wonderful luxury and kept well by Ken, who also very kindly let us use the field next to the cottage for exercising our dog. The Read morecottage was a good space for for four of us, including two teens, and the kitchen/dining/lounge meant we could enjoy dinners altogether. The shower was very good and clearly thought had gone into making the cottage a clean and relaxing environment. Beds were comfy and heating perfect for our Autumnal stay. We would definitely recommend to friends and family, especially those with a dog. Hide
