Cottages in the North York Moors 

The North York Moors in Yorkshire have it all; a coastline, dramatic moorland, deep forests, and a spectacular national park peppered with pretty towns. Whether you stay in one of our cottages in Helmsley, Pickering, or Thornton-le-Dale, you'll be surround by beauty. 

Whether you are drawn by the dramatic landscapes and wildlife, the magnificent coastline, or perhaps you are keen to explore the heritage and history of this beautiful area, the North York Moors has something for everyone. 

A popular haunt for writers and artists over the years, the North York Moors still find favour with these groups; galleries and exhibitions are plentiful, as there is a thriving arts community keen to make the most of this fabulous landscape. 

On your travels, you might find some places quite familiar, as the North York Moors retain an enduring appeal to filmmakers. Downton Abbey, Heartbeat, Death comes to Pemberley, and both editions of Evelyn Waugh’s classic Brideshead Revisited were all filmed across the North York Moors. Classic stately homes dot the landscape and provide a fascinating and historic backdrop to this atmospheric part of Yorkshire. 

The North York Moors are easy to access, you can choose to get in amongst it by walking, cycling and horse riding, or let the train take the strain and enjoy the fabulous 18 miles that make up the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The region’s coastline also beckons with the dramatic Robin Hood’s Bay and Whitby, where the ruins of the famous Whitby Abbey await.
