NatalieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Wow wow wow, what an amazing place to stay. Stunning house, stunning location. The attention to detail was fantastic, Philippa and Andrew were so approachable, friendly and helpful and they helped to make our stay comfortable. The house was spotless and full of everything we needed. Our children are already asking how soon we can come and visit again. The hot tub was ready for our arrival and the view were gorgeous, what a gem of a find. Very much looking forward to returning to Yoredale House, Thankyou for having us!

Forget-me-not Cottage with Sea & Countryside views

RodneyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Lisa and Graham were exceptionally friendly from the start, but allowed us our privacy while we were there. Lovely touch having local biscuits and milk on arrival. Linen and towels in the bedrooms were lovely and fresh. The water is supplied from a local spring, and was delicious, and power from solar panels. The view from the kitchen/lounge was amazing - cute goats, sheep and donkeys just outside the door, and views over the hills to the sea. Watching the sunrise was lovely. The "Scratching Post" games room was fun, with fresh eggs and drinks available to buy and a pool table. Bring 50p coins! Really close to lots of walks - either straight from the door to Boggle Hole, or a short drive from Falling Foss with a beckside forest walk. Close enough to drive to Whitby for fish and chips, or Thorpe Stores in Fylingthorpe for a fresh bacon buttie from the friendly local shop. We'd love to come back and stay again.

Hidden Family Farm Paradise- near York & the Coast

SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is perfect for anyone who just wants to be out the way with no one around it was definitely what we needed! The kids loved going out and seeing the horses and the place was just beautiful inside and out. Would love to have a reason to come back again. My partner had a stroke in July so struggles in places too busy so he was in his element here 🥰

Stunning Accommodation surrounded by Countryside

JaneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Had a lovely stay in Ripon. The house was just as described, very clean and in a great location, within easy walking distance of the market square, and also for walks along the river. We had no problems parking - only once having to park around the corner rather than outside the property. Would recommend.

Your guide to Sandsend

Welcome to Sandsend

On the wild North Sea coast that forms part of North York Moors National Park, the little seafront village of Sandsend, with three miles of golden sands, is a haven of calm. On a sunny day it’s hard to believe vicious storms wrecked hundreds of ships here in the 18th century, or that it was a centre of Victorian-era alum industry and mining. Now the quarries are overgrown, and the only things people are digging for are dinosaur fossils, commonly found on these shores.

Among the fishing villages, including nearby Staithes, Sandsend is gaining a reputation as a surf spot, with hip eateries, beach cafes, and pubs with sea views. Whitby, with its legendary fish and chip shops and Gothic history, is close enough for Whitby Abbey to be visible from Sandsend’s beach. Inland, the North York Moors hinterland offers opportunities for wildlife walks and stargazing in the International Dark Sky Reserve, designated for its low light pollution, where on a clear winter night it’s possible to witness the Aurora Borealis.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Sandsend

The best time to stay in one of Sandsend’s cottages depends on whether you’re here for sunny beaches, wildlife, or Dracula. Summer is ideal for a sand-and-shore experience, though school holidays can be busy, especially in the famous resorts. June through November is best for whale watching, with September the peak month for sighting minke, fin, and humpback whales. Whitby hosts lots of festivals year round, but the best-known is Whitby Goth Weekend, in April and October. Thanks in part to the Dracula connection (Bram Stoker set his novel here), Whitby’s association with the macabre attracts admirers of the dark side, who frequent the village’s themed stalls. Whitby Regatta in August is a breezier affair, with yacht racing and fireworks.


Top things to do in Sandsend

Geocache Arts Trail

Pick up an arts trail booklet from one of the local cafes or shops, and use a free geocaching app to locate six caches hidden along the Cleveland Way National Trail, where you can decorate your leaflet with stamps designed by six commissioned artists.

Whitby Boat Trips

After climbing the 199 steps to Whitby’s spooky ruined abbey and nosing around the gravestones of St Mary’s Church (many dedicated to souls lost in shipwrecks), head out on a boat trip yourself. Go fishing, whale-watching, or climb aboard HMS Bark Endeavour, a replica of explorer Captain Cook’s famous ship, which sails the three miles to Sandsend and back.

Mulgrave Estate

In a pretty valley between Sandsend and the village of Lythe you’ll find the 15,000-acre Mulgrave Estate, home to farmsteads and a ruined Gothic castle, owned by the same family since the mid-18th century. Its woodland paths have public access, and the formal gardens occasionally run open days. Lythe’s ancient church, St Oswald’s, displays some unusual carved Anglo-Scandinavian stones that predate the Viking invasions.
