West End Farm Cottages - Dragonfly Cottage

Brompton by Sawdon is a quiet village on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, with the market town of Pickering a short drive away. West End Farm Cottages – Dragonfly Cottage sits on working farmland here, a converted building dating from the 1800s with open countryside visible from the windows. The property is no-smoking and requires guests to manage a spiral staircase.

Inside, a ground-floor open-plan space combines living and dining areas with a wood burner and Freeview TV. The kitchen has a gas cooker, microwave, dishwasher and washer-dryer, so you can cook properly or do laundry if needed. Upstairs are two bedrooms – one with a king bed and one with two singles – served by a shower room. Bed linen, towels and wi-fi are included; heating and hot water run on gas. A small enclosed courtyard has garden furniture and a barbecue.

The location suits families or groups exploring the Moors. The North York Moors steam railway departs from Pickering. Whitby, Scarborough and Dalby Forest are all within reach by car. The village has a shop and wine bar within walking distance.
