Fans of ITV's Heartbeat might appreciate this home's starring role in the long-running television series. While it might not have appeared in front of the camera, both cast and crew were frequent visitors, as it served as the bar for the next-door hotel. Now lovingly restored to tranquillity and situated high on the North York Moors, it serves as an ideal getaway. So let the bright skies, rugged scenery and fresh air provide you with a warm Yorkshire welcome. Step inside the stone walls to admire the original character and modern touches, where rustic notes combine with all the mod cons to provide a comfortable stay. Get the log burner going in the beautiful feature fireplace and cosy up while you share stories or watch a movie. Upstairs, you'll find two relaxing bedrooms that invite you to settle down for a superb night's sleep. Peer out of any window to admire the beautiful views over the moors. Wander down the street, and you'll quickly find yourself in the pretty village of Goathland, while the charming seaside town of Whitby is just a twenty-minute drive away.

About Whitby

Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays. Colourful cottages that have seen...
