Country Cottage Holidays - Manor House Farm

This Grade II listed farmhouse dates from an era when North Yorkshire farmsteads were built to last, and its restoration has preserved the character of those original bones while fitting it out for modern life. The property forms the larger section of the original building, positioned between Scarborough and Snainton in countryside where light pollution is practically absent—the night skies alone are worth stepping outside for. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms across two floors mean there is genuine space to spread out: a double on the ground floor, a king-size with ensuite upstairs, and a twin room alongside a family shower room.

The ground floor wraps around a kitchen equipped for proper cooking, a dining room with a table for six, and a living room with countryside views and a woodburner for cooler evenings. An enclosed garden runs off the back, furnished for sitting out, with a bike store for exploring the surrounding Moors. Parking for two cars is on site. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included; one dog stays free. The property draws water from a borehole.

This works well for families or groups needing separate bathrooms and bedrooms, and for anyone wanting to be properly remote without being cut off—the Moors are immediately to hand, and the coast within reach.
