The shepherd hut is sited on what used to be the old sheep pens where work was carried out on the flocks, hence the name ‘Sheep Cote’ another word for ‘Sheep Pen’.

Stokesley is an attractive, elegant, historic market town which was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, with many interesting Georgian and Victorian buildings. The River Leven flows through the town and is crossed by the ancient Pack Horse Bridge. Levenside provides visitors with a peaceful riverside walk, well planted with trees, as a contrast to the bustle of the High Street. The town has a distinguished wide cobbled main street lined with Georgian and Regency buildings. It is well served with shops, banks, public houses and restaurants and the weekly Friday markets are held on the main square. Just off the market square is the Church of St Peter & St Paul which has woodwork carved by the Mouseman of Kilburn. Surrounded by the Cleveland Hills and close to the northern edge of the North York Moors, Stokesley provides an ideal base from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales, the heather clad North Yorkshire Moors and the pretty market towns of Great Ayton, Northallerton and Thirsk. The seaside spa resort of Saltburn is 30 mins drive away whilst Whitby, Runswick Bay and Robin Hoods Bay are within easy reach.

Stunning area, views, comfortable accommodation. The owners were so welcoming, friendly and happy to help. They were so happy to chat about the farm and animals, which we loved. The accommodation was spotless. Will definitely revisit.
Julie
From the host, the accommodation, the views and the sheep plus some assorted wildlife it was perfect. Oh and not forgetting resident dog Trixie who was a joy. It was the most peaceful place we have stayed and can't wait to return.
Clare
We have stayed in a few of these but this was by far the best one. It's very well equipped and comfortable. We had a very warm welcome from Rob the owner, being a working Sheep farm might put some people off, but we really enjoyed watching and learning a few things about it we didn't know before. It is a stunning place with an amazing view and this won't be our last visit here.
