Just a mile from the beautiful sandy and shingle shores of Marske Beach, this newly built holiday home is perfectly positioned to explore this picturesque stretch of the North Sea coast.

The majority of the individually decorated rooms include an eye-catching feature wall, adding a splash of colour and a playful atmosphere to the home, while the enclosed garden is perfect for outdoor dinners and playtime with four-legged friends and energetic children. 

You'll hear the occasional cheer from the terraces of the nearby football club. Still, its family-friendly atmosphere on match days makes it an ideal candidate for a first football match, with little worry about the outlay when your children inevitably grow bored around fifteen minutes in. 

After catching a snippet of the game, enjoy an afternoon stroll southwards along the dramatic coast towards the historic seaside spa town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea with its iconic cast iron pier stretching 208 metres out to sea and its Grade II-listed cliff lift.

Beneath the Marske

Sitting on the edge of a nature reserve that's home to wild Exmoor ponies, this Victorian cottage is a perfectly picturesque rural escape. The antique-filled living room comes with a wood-burning stove that will be especially appreciated after long walks out in Lincolnshire, while the country-style kitchen is a charming spot for cooking hearty dinners. When the weather allows, you can also head out into the garden and light up the fire pit when it's time for star-watching.

That would be reason enough to visit, but there's a great range of attractions on the local farm that sweeten the deal even more. A minute's walk from the front door is a natural spa in which you can book a session and be pampered, while you can also try your hand at various outdoor activities, including archery and axe-throwing. There are even onsite private catering options, just in case you'd like dinner or afternoon tea delivered to your door. 

When it comes to getting to know the local area a little better, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to historic market towns, country parks and walking routes, while Scunthorpe is only a ten-minute drive away when you need shops and restaurants.

Old Mother Nature's Recipes

This wonderfully modern home is the perfect place to stay during a trip to the quirky town of Whitby. It's very centrally located, just a few minutes away from all the main attractions, so you're guaranteed to have some great times here. 

The interior is ultra contemporary, with plenty of natural light flooding in through the huge windows. Chic grey and cream tones melt together into a soothing colour palette that creates a tranquil ambiance throughout. You'll love the open-plan set-up, which makes it easy to chat with your guests as you cook, eat, and relax. And, the best bit is your very own balcony, offering views across to the boats floating in Whitby harbour. 

If you fancy a beach day, gather up your towels and take a fifteen-minute stroll down to the seashore. Fans of the classic Bram Stoker novel, Dracula, can climb the 199 steps up to visit the iconic Whitby Cathedral and St Mary's Church. And, with the North York Moors National Park just four minutes away by car, walkers and cyclists can easily explore the dramatic landscapes. 

Harbour Hopes

The seaside town of Whitby offers every English, coastal delight that you’d expect. Takeaway spots for fish and chips, ice cream parlours, piers, and lighthouses are just some of its charming features. While you explore every corner of this ancient town, you’ll need a cosy place to call home. This apartment, just a twelve-minute walk from Whitby Beach, is perfectly placed to experience it all. Elegant and modern, the interiors feel very inviting. Parquet floors and a rich blue velvet sofa bring a high-end luxe vibe, while glass tables and a superbly 21st-century white fireplace offer sophisticated minimalism. We love the bright living space, with French doors leading out to your own private patio. Perch on the ornate wrought-iron furniture with a gin and tonic to start the holiday in style. Nine minutes away, you can stroll to Whitby train station (a Grade II listed building) with ease. From here, the north of England is yours to explore. Try a two-hour trip through the North York Moors National Park to reach the market town of Darlington, for shopping, dining, and even more historical landmarks.

Salt & Vinegar

Whether you’re curled up in front of the log-burning stove or allowing your cares to melt away in the outdoor hot tub, this quaint cottage will wrap you up in a blanket of comfort and calm. The place is charmingly rustic, in keeping with its old granary heritage – think exposed timber beams, low ceilings, wood elements and cosy furnishings. Get to know your neighbours on arrival – your home is situated next to the paddock where Dave the llama and Bob the pony roam and graze. When you’re ready to explore, lace up your walking boots and delve into the surrounding Yorkshire countryside, or head out to York city centre, just a twenty-minute drive away. Shop along the medieval Shambles before checking out the wealth of characterful restaurants, bars and cafes. 

Granary Cottage

Looking at this stunning home, it's hard to believe that it was once a coach house. This is a testament to the hard work and creativity that went into the recent renovation. The newly converted interior belongs in the pages of a glossy magazine, with huge windows on the extension letting in copious amounts of natural daylight and a sleek kitchen that will have keen chefs eager to start cooking. A gorgeous island in the middle makes it a sociable space to gather around and clink glasses. In the living room, bursts of colour come from a beautifully soft corner sofa in royal blue and artwork hanging on the walls curated by local artist David Stead. From here, you'll be able to see the expansive gardens, which come complete with a barbecue and an alfresco dining area — you can almost hear the sound of Pimm's being poured out already. The prime location in North Yorkshire means that you won't be short of inspiration for days out. You can walk to Ripon Cathedral in just over a quarter of an hour, while the Nidderdale AONB can be reached in ten minutes by car for when you fancy a longer ramble.

Horse & Carriage

It's easy to fall in love with the landscapes that inspired one of the greatest love stories of all time, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. This cottage, with its stunning views over the moors and Haworth, is a fabulous, romantic retreat. Enjoy the vistas with a glass of Prosecco (your lovely hosts provide a complimentary bottle, as well as strawberries and flowers). This place is perfect for couples celebrating an anniversary or those who just want to pamper themselves (and who doesn't?). We love the log burner, Yorkshire flag-stone floors and the four-poster bed. Have a luxurious soak in the freestanding roll-top bath after your journey – this opulent room has underfloor heating for toasty toes too. Your host Catherine really has thought of everything here.

When you're ready to explore, spend idyllic days roaming the countryside and moors right on your doorstep, like Brontë’s Heathcliff and Cathy. Or go for a ten-minute drive to literary mecca Haworth, and wander around its cobbled streets and the iconic parsonage.





Heathcliff & Cathy

Every care has been taken to modernise this Victorian cottage without diminishing its period charm. We love the old-world touches, like the cast iron heaters, sparkling chandeliers and ornate vintage mirrors. Escaping from the hustle and bustle of the big city is a no-brainer here. Throw open your windows in the morning, and you’ll hear birdsong – you might even see a passing deer or two. Whip up a quick breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen, and then put on your walking shoes. Miles of open countryside await right on your doorstep – the cottage is at the end of a drive where the village gives way to the natural world. You can spend entire days hiking the patchwork of fields and farms crisscrossed by a web of brooks. You’ll quickly work up an appetite after all that exploring. You can grab a meal in the village pub, the local chippy or the Tandoori restaurant. However, if you want more variety, a five-minute drive will take you to nearby Ramsbottom, where you'll have a much wider choice of cafes, restaurants, and food shops. A thirty-minute drive will have you in central Manchester, in the heart of all that the city has to offer. In the evening, fill the bathtub and feel the relaxation wash over you. 


Babbling Brooks

This quaint stone-built terraced cottage on Haworth’s historic cobbled main street puts you within easy reach of the area’s local pubs, shops, cafes and restaurants, not to mention the Bronte Parsonage Museum less than a five-minute walk away. The decor is exactly what you’d expect of a cosy, rustic cottage – original beams and stonework, and a wood-burning stove in the downstairs living room. While you’ll need to climb some stairs to reach the bedrooms on the upper floor, the zip-and-link beds provide flexibility for families or friends sharing, and the parking permit provided is a welcome addition for those looking to explore further afield by car. 

Blackberry Cobbler

Set in a tiny hamlet above bohemian Hebden Bridge, the location of this home is everything.  Thick with artists, crafters, beekeepers, and people who like to do things a bit differently, HB must be one of the most unique villages in England. That quirky, independent spirit carries through into this cottage, with its eclectic mix of furnishings. Think classical with touches of the Middle East, craft crockery and striking wall art. The tree-filled garden is just the place for a morning chai latte, before browsing Hebden Bridge’s independent boutiques, watching an art-house film at the 1920s Picture House, or making a literary pilgrimage to Sylvia Plath’s grave in the ruined churchyard across the road. If you’d like an outdoorsy interlude from all that arts and culture, the surrounding countryside is prime territory for hiking. Come back to your small but perfectly formed base for an evening of love, laughter and stories around the firepit. 

Counting Stars

A luxurious, modern conversion, these former stables and coach house once belonged to the nearby manor. Set in extensive grounds but with its own garden, this is one magnificent place to stay in North Yorkshire. Thoughtfully designed by the owners who have put their personal stamp on the stunning interiors, there's plenty of space for groups to socialise – both indoors and out. The high-end kitchen is perfectly equipped for cooking family feasts, plus there's a smaller on the other side of that house that's perfect for whipping up a quick snack. Each bedroom is unique and they all come with spectacular bathrooms, ideal for relaxing after long walks or getting ready for a slap-up meal in town. You'd be forgiven for thinking you're in the middle of the countryside but here you'll be just a short walk away from the city of Ripon, with its endless places to eat, drink and shop. And being right on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales means keen walkers and cyclists will love it here too.
