Dilston House

Dilston House rests in the heart of Goathland, North Yorkshire, offering a charming and well-presented cottage that’s perfectly suited to families, keen walkers and anyone eager to explore the North York Moors.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a bright sitting room, where a woodburning stove creates a welcoming focal point, ideal for settling in after a day roaming the moorland trails or breathing in the sea air along the nearby coast.

The kitchen on the ground floor is equipped with all the essentials for easy self-catering, while the separate dining room provides a pleasant setting for relaxed suppers and plotting the next day’s adventure.

Upstairs, three bedrooms, a double and two twins, all with wash basins, offer flexible sleeping arrangements for families or small groups.

These are served by a bathroom with a bath and hand-held shower, separate walk-in shower, basin and WC, along with the added convenience of a separate cloakroom.

Outside, an enclosed front lawn offers a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the fresh moorland air, and off-road parking for several cars makes arrival straightforward.

With three well-behaved pets welcome, Dilston House is a fine choice for those travelling with dogs, with walks and open countryside right on the doorstep.

A village shop and friendly pub can be found nearby, while Whitby’s historic harbour, sandy beaches and famous abbey are within driving distance for a classic day by the sea.

Surrounded by sweeping moors, scenic railways and characterful villages, Dilston House makes a delightful base for discovering the beauty and heritage of the North York Moors.
