Clay Hall Farm - The Rabbits Warren

The North York Moors edge close to the coast here, and Clay Hall Farm – The Rabbits Warren – sits in countryside that connects both. A converted barn on a working farm, it offers the run of two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and sitting room, with 7 acres of shared woodland and meadow to explore on foot. One dog is welcome, though not upstairs. The property has its own parking and sits just over a mile from a pub.

Ground-floor living centres on an open kitchen and dining space with an electric oven, induction hob and dishwasher. Upstairs are two bedrooms: a king and a double, served by a walk-in shower. Electricity, heating, wi-fi, bed linen and towels come as standard. The front garden has a shared sitting area with furniture. No smoking indoors.

Scaling Dam reservoir, good for water sports, lies a short drive away. The North York Moors' walking trails radiate from here, and the Cleveland Way coastal path runs between fishing villages and bays. Whitby, Staithes and Runswick Bay are each within reach for a day out to the sea.
