From the owner

Cowslip cottage is one of three charming cottages within a converted stone agricultural barn dating back to 1760. Located within the North York Moors, offering wonderful sea and countryside views. Set in a peaceful location yet within easy reach of the A171, Close to Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, Scarborough & Sandsend. Tastefully decorated to provide cosy and comfortable accommodation, Cowslip retains many of the barn's original features & has a light, bright feel. Designed for your comfort in all seasons, the cottage is fully insulated with under-floor heating downstairs to make a cozy retreat in the winter months.

A cooler escape in the summer with stone floors, french doors opening onto a patio with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and to the sea. Here in the North Yorkshire Moors, we can boast wonderful sunrises and sunsets, along with amazing dark skies for star gazing. We are sure you will enjoy your stay & have a wonderful time exploring the villages, moors and coast surrounding us. Cowslip is ideal for couples, small families, walkers & cyclists. Free secure parking directly outside of the cottage.

Pets are welcome by prior arrangement only.

There is a bus stop just a short walk away, at the top of our lan and across the road a petrol station selling a small selection of groceries and newspapers.

Separate Barn with games room - includes pool table, bar football, darts board and TV.

Electric Vehicle Charge onsite - charges apply.

Dogs welcome by prior arrangement only - Please Note: Dogs are not allowed upstairs in the bedrooms or on the furniture and should not be left unattended in the cottage.
