In Glaisdale, you have a small village shop as well as a tea room. There are some wonderful rural pubs serving hearty home cooked meals in the surrounding villages, the perfect reward after a hike or cycle. If you wish to enjoy the great outdoors, you are in the perfect location. The coastline from Saltburn-by-the-Sea to Filey is a place of rugged beauty, with many isolated fishing villages such as Staithes and Robin Hoods Bay all just a short drive away. Out on the moors are the scenic villages of Hutton Le Hole, Thornton le Dale or Helmsley, with its castle and gardens all waiting to be explored. The property is situated just 11 miles from the coastal town of Whitby, with its year round events and festivals such as the Goth Weekend and the Steampunk Weekend.
Famous for its link to Dracula, the abbey and its award winning fish and chips, Whitby has something for everyone. For something a bit different, you can take a steam train journey into ‘Heartbeat’ country Goathland, or head out to sea from Whitby on a boat trip, where you could see seals and whales. Ride on horseback, glide over the sea on a paddleboard, or even fly through the tree tops on a zip wire – there are lots of outdoor activities all within an hour’s drive. Out in the national park, the skies are illuminated by millions of stars, ensure you take a moment to gaze out at the sky on a clear night. This is a stunning rural location all year round.

Fantastic cottage in a wonderful location, open country views, perfect. We have stayed in the cottage before, and it is always maintained and cleaned to a very high standard, a credit to the owner.

Lovely little place to stay, nicely converted to a high standard and it’s very comfortable Fabulous views from the barn overlooking the North York Moors. It’s within easy reach of Whitby either by road or train. Train journey is very nice and well worth doing with parking at Glaisdsle station which is just over 1 mile away. Staithes is lovely and well worth a visit. Only one negative is the close proximity to the road so you do get some noise, you do get used to it and it’s not very busy.
