The property

Holly Cottage is a charming stone-built grade II listed retreat set within the rural landscape of Aislaby near Whitby.

With a friendly local pub close at hand, scenic walks through the North York Moors National Park, and easy access to the coast, it offers an appealing base for couples or families eager to discover North Yorkshire’s many delights.

On arrival, park up and admire the attractive stone exterior before stepping into the front garden, a lovely spot for sunny picnics.

To the rear, a handy courtyard provides useful area along with an outside tap to wash the dog. Inside, the contemporary kitchen is well-equipped, inviting guests to prepare home-cooked meals to enjoy in the welcoming garden or sitting/dining room.

This cosy space features plush seating and a warm woodburning stove, perfect for unwinding in the evening and chatting over the day’s adventures.

When it’s time to rest, rinse off in the ground-floor shower room, then settle into one of two thoughtfully presented bedrooms: a king size with its own en-suite shower room, or a spacious L shaped twin room. Aislaby itself boasts a friendly pub called 'The Forge' ideal for relaxed drinks in the sunshine.

From here, venture into Whitby to browse an eclectic mix of shops, eateries, bookshops, vintage stores, and fossil shops.

Enjoy walking to Whitby Abbey reached by the famous 199 steps.

Visit the iconic Whalebone Arch which is located at the top of the West Cliff for coastal views, stroll the pier, or wander the picturesque harbour and sandy beach.

Fans of history and literature will love Whitby Abbey, dramatic, atmospheric, and famously linked to Dracula.

The Cinder Track also offers a scenic walking / cycling route through the countryside all the way to Scarborough, where museums, arcades, and a historic castle await. With the North York Moors National Park within easy reach, nature lovers can enjoy a wealth of walking trails, wildlife and the North Yorkshire Moors railway in the nearby village of Grosmont.

About the location

AISLABY

Aislaby 1 mile; Sleights 1 mile; Whitby 3 miles; Sandsend 5 miles.

The village of Aislaby is located in the beautiful rolling countryside of the Esk Valley, overlooking Sleights and just three miles from Whitby. A small rural village, quiet and secluded, Aislaby is a thriving community of pretty sandstone cottages clustered around a main street and a thriving community served by the old church and Forge Inn. By cycling, walking, or driving in the surrounding area, guests can visit Egton's famous church of St Hedda with its painted ceiling, walk through the beautiful Arncliffe Woods, discover the historic North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Grosmont, or explore the old mill on the banks of the River Esk. The location is also ideal for exploring the spectacular North York Moors and the many small fishing villages and resort towns of this beautiful coastline. Nearby Whitby, once the home of Captain James Cook, is a charming, atmospheric town of winding streets and hidden alleys, with a picturesque harbour, safe sandy beaches, a broad range of eateries and award-winning fish and chips, and of course the Abbey, which inspired Bram Stoker, reached by the famous 199 steps. For culture lovers, a day trip to the city of York, with its famous minster, the Jorvik Viking Centre, and National Railway Museum will be a fantastic addition to your break.
