Timber Retreat

Timber Retreat suits couples looking for a quiet base in the countryside. The single bedroom sleeps two, with a bathroom, and you have the whole place to yourself. A log-burning stove and private terrace make it easy to settle in for a few days; parking is on site, and there's an electric car charging point if you need it. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. One well-behaved dog is welcome.

The location works well for exploring both directions at once. Whitby is a short drive away on the coast, while the North York Moors National Park spreads inland from here. The Esk Valley footpaths start from the door, and a local pub is within walking distance. The enclosed garden has a barbecue, and a bike store is available if you want to cover more ground. No smoking throughout the property.
