Cholmley @ Summerfield Farm sits on the edge of Hawsker in North Yorkshire, forming part of Summerfield Farm’s collection of accessible holiday cottages that are carefully designed to support inclusive access and assisted living, while still offering a relaxed, genuinely family‑friendly place to stay.
Well suited to families, friends, carers and guests with limited mobility, the cottage combines ground-floor facilities with open shared spaces, ensuring there is room for equipment, assisted transfers and everyday comfort without compromise.
Inside, the open-plan living area sets the tone straight away, with exposed beams overhead, wooden flooring underfoot and a layout that allows everyone to spend time together with ease.
The kitchen is neatly positioned within the space, finished with green tiled walls and wooden fittings, and is fully equipped for self-catering with a dishwasher, along with washer and dryer facilities within the cottage to support longer or supported stays.
Nearby, the dining area offers a natural place to gather for unhurried breakfasts or relaxed evening meals after time outdoors.
The sitting area is arranged around an exposed brick fireplace featuring a woodburning stove, creating a clear focal point for slower evenings, with a three-seater sofa, an additional armchair and a supportive rise and riser recliner chair positioned to enjoy views across the garden, whether the television is on or the fire is lit.
Sleeping accommodation is spread across three bedrooms to suit mixed groups, including a ground-floor twin room with exposed beams, fitted with a profiling bed that incorporates an additional single bed and an Oxford ceiling track hoist, with ample space for carers and essential equipment.
Upstairs, the double bedroom is finished in gentle blue tones with natural light drawn in through a Velux window, while the twin room provides another comfortable option for family members or friends.
Bathing facilities are equally flexible, with a fully accessible ground-floor wet room featuring level access, a roll-in shower, basin and WC, designed to allow space for assisted transfers and supported by a selection of shower chairs, including standard, tilting and Seahorse paediatric options.
Alongside this is a bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin and WC, where a bath seat is available, plus two additional first-floor shower rooms with basins and WCs to support larger groups and varied routines.
Further accessibility equipment is available on request, including a mobile hoist and additional support aids such as a Sara Stedy and Atlas Advance turning aid, helping guests move comfortably throughout the cottage.
Outdoors, guests can enjoy both shared and private space, with a large shared garden that invites morning strolls and outdoor play, alongside a private seating and dining area for Cholmley where afternoons can be spent relaxing and evenings enjoyed cooking on the barbecue, all within a safe outdoor setting for children and dogs.
Off-road parking for two cars is located close to the cottage, making arrivals straightforward.
A pub lies within walking distance, with the nearest shop a short drive away, and Whitby town centre also easily reached by car, surrounded by countryside and sea views with sightlines extending towards Whitby Abbey.
For those preferring a traffic-free route, the nearby Cinder Track provides a wheelchair-accessible path into Whitby, taking around 50 minutes on foot or wheel.
Family-friendly extras including a travel cot, high chair, bed guard, changing mat and toys are also available, making Cholmley @ Summerfield Farm particularly well suited to guests who require accessible shower facilities and assisted transfers, while still wanting a comfortable, relaxed and thoughtfully designed base for spending time together near the coast and countryside.
