Newbiggin Hall Cottages - Cedar Cottage

Cedar Cottage works well for families wanting more than a hotel room, or groups of friends who'd rather have their own space than share a kitchen. It's a barn conversion with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, each bedroom ensuite. The ground floor has an open-plan living area with dining space and a kitchen for self-catering; upstairs are two further bedrooms. Bed linen and towels are provided, and the essentials—heating, electricity, wi-fi—are included in the price.

The cottage sits in a courtyard with three other properties nearby, though you have the whole place to yourselves. There's an enclosed garden with furniture and a barbecue, parking for two cars, and bike storage for exploring the immediate area. One dog can stay free. The location is between the villages of Aislaby and Egton in the North York Moors, about five miles from Whitby's harbour and fishing port, with good walking routes starting from the doorstep. The building dates to the 17th century and retains stone walls and beams, though it's been updated for comfort.

No smoking inside. You can request a travel cot and highchair if needed, and there's use of a shared tumble dryer and freezer. Arrival is after 15:00, departure before 10:00.
