Meadowsweet is situated within a large enclosed gated courtyard, with space for four vehicles. This charming former 1880’s granary, has been lovingly restored to provide a charming holiday barn for six people to enjoy. Retaining the original stone staircase which leads up to the master bedroom which now has a Juliet balcony with stunning views across the valley, this room was used to store animal feed and grain. We have preserved some of its’ former character and charm the original sandstone internal walling and staircase, some of the timber lintels above the doorways (originating from old sailing craft from Whitby). Upstairs there are a two further double bedrooms one of which can be configured as either two single beds or a double. There is also shower room with walk in shower, sink and WC, leading on to a large landing upstairs, which can be used as a private seating area for reading or relaxing.

Use of an additional barn to store your bikes, prams etc is also available. The idyllic village of Goathland has you need to enjoy a memorable stay in North Yorkshire, from its charming tea rooms to its well-stocked village store and the renowned Aidensfield Stores, made famous by its appearance on the Heartbeat TV series. The town is also home to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, which featured as Hogsmeade Station in the well-known Harry Potter film series, where you can hop aboard and sit back as you enjoy a scenic ride through the vast moorlands. The location is a haven for wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts with sheep and lambs in the fields, kestrels and buzzards wheeling in the sky and the sounds of the Murk Esk river flowing and cascading down the valley below.

    Fab accommodation in fab location with unbelievable walks on the doorstep

    What a nature lover and walker's retreat. The views of the Esk Valley from the rear door are spectacular and are unspoilt with the NYM steam train line slightly hidden within but a fabulous sight in the valley. The bird species located at the accommodation were Barn Owl at 7.30 am, buzzard, kestrel, red wing (43), sparrow hawk, kestrel, gold crest, tree creeper, nut hatch and wow a leucitic pheasant. The accommodation left nothing required and I am fussy. Spacious, greatly equipped and fab oven, washer and dishwasher. Fabulous linen and towels. This was the best hot tub by way of maintenance I have ever encountered. No chemical smell. An uninterrupted view to die for over the valley and endless stars to count whilst in the hot tub, I am in awe of the loving family who have put their heart and sole into this haven for them and their children and pets (wow) to enjoy. This admiration for the area and their buildings provided one of the best holiday breaks we have had.

    Peace & Quiet with Steam Train in the valley

    We stayed for a week to explore the coast and moors. For example Whitby and Staithes are about 20 to 25 minutes away by car. The hosts are very welcoming and happy to assist with advice plus lovely fresh eggs. The location is a little off road and reached by farm tracks. The local pubs are a couple of miles away but all provide good typical meals. The hot tub was popular with the grandchildren as were the friendly chickens, ducks and dogs. (Not enjoyed together). The views of the hills and valleys were lovely and the sight of the regular North Moors Stem Railway trains chuffing along were very nostalgic. Goathland village and station is about 10 minutes easy drive. I would heartlly recommend this cottage for all types of stay.
