Cottage vacation rentals in Great Ayton

Sundial is a beautiful cottage, central to Skelton. The cottage is comfortable and has the convenience of a downstairs and upstairs bathroom / shower and a separate utility room. I booked Sundial for the hot tub and this feature didn’t disappoint. A superb way of relaxing after a busy day. We visited Saltburn (walkable along the Cleveland way) and Whitby (I highly recommend the Park & Ride). Before coming home I drove to Marske-on-sea where my dogs and I enjoyed a gorgeous walk along the wide, open beach. Marske has a dog friendly cafe (The dog house) if any dog lovers are reading this review!

Really cosy place, awesome decor and a huge bed. Would love to visit in winter to make use of the fireplaces (the weather was too good this weekend!) Hot tub was great and pizza oven fantastic. Thanks for having us!

3 Railway Cottage is a fantastic base to explore the amazing beauty of North Yorkshire. The cottage is located a 20 minute walk from the centre of Pickering but is in a really quiet and private location. The only exception of course is the opportunity to wave at the heritage railway trains that pass at the back of the cottage a few times a day which is really amazing, especially if you wave from the comfort of the hot tub! I can’t recommend this location highly enough, it is a really comfortable and well equipped cottage in a fantastic location - what more could you ask for?

We had a fantastic stay here for 4 nights. It was beautifully clean and had everything and more we needed. Such lovely hosts, very responsive should you need them. Great location! Such an easy drive to a lot of places. We visited Whitby, Scarborough, Pickering, Thornton Le Dale and more! All under 1 hours drive away. Cottage is so homely and very welcoming 😊 Amazing that each room has their own en-suite. Beds are so comfy! Downstairs bedroom was great for us with someone in the party having mobility issues. Games room is a fabulous touch! Sauna and hot tub both very clean. Highly recommend to stay here. Thanks for a wonderful stay 🥰

had a brilliant stay in this lovely little cottage. Nice and clean. Great hot tub and a good base location to explore various places along the coast. would recommend.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Walking the surrounding area from the house was great and very near to a pub and tearoom which both served great food. The hot tub was an added bonus!

Beautifully furnished barn. Smelt amazing. Easy check in. Peaceful surroundings.

Lovely relaxing cottage with everything we needed. Very cosy and relaxing setting with great views from back windows. Enclosed garden for dog or children. Hot tub was a great perk which was well used by us. Rillington village within 10 min walk which had a small shop and a nice pub ( the fleece). Tips for other travellers The fleece in rillington has a nice garden of weather nice and the food was nice too and dog friendly Ham and cheese which is a 5 minute drive the food was very good and dog friendly too although probably too far to walk Lots of walks nearby, we went to dalby Forrest, mallyham spout in goathland and Levisham near Pickering New Connie’s Chinese in malton was also very good

Wonderful place, as Bev says - the place gives you a warm hug. Relaxing, quiet, and perfect rest for us and our anxious rescue dog! Lovely being near the river, lots of birds and wildlife nearby. Felt right at home and hope to return again soon!

What a fantastic little cottage, perfect for a weekend away. Lovely hosts and perfect location for exploring Yorkshire, we would definitely recommend and hope to visit again sometime.

We absolutely loved our short but sweet stay which was perfectly located for the wedding at Danby Castle. The Airbnb is spotless, spacious and has the most breathtaking views. And in addition to that Ann was very kind, responsive and accommodating to any additional needs we had. Thank you for allowing us to stay here and we hope to return to soak in the area a bit more next time!

We had a brilliant time at Chris' cottage. It was well positioned for where we wanted to visit and was a cosy and comfortable place to return to of an evening. The cottage was well equipped, there was plenty of hot water and the beds were very comfortable. Beautiful views from the cottage were a bonus. All four of us had a great time and would certainly stay there again.

It was a beautiful little home and we are so pleased we got the chance to stay there, really private with great views. The garden was enclosed so it was good to be allowed to let the dog out into the garden without a worry. It was really central so we could get to a lot of places and it really felt like home. 🩷

A lovely property with everything you need in an absolutely stunning area. This place really is an escape to the country. Everything is provided, you just need your food. Jess is a helpful host and very responsive. We all enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful little cottage in the heart of Whitby. We fell in love with the Old Dispensary. One night wasn’t enough. We’ll be back for another stay very soon. Thank you so much.

Had a lovely stay at Rachael’s , just what was needed , took our little dog which was great , he had his first day at the seaside just 35 mins to the coast Clean and tidy , everything you could need although we ate out you could cook a meal , 2 minutes walk to shops , pubs and cafes , and the church on the door step is stunning . A very comfortable Huge bed too Bonus as we left Monday is market day lots of lovely fresh foods to bring home

Saltwater cottage was absolutely fantastic! In the perfect spot near the harbour, it’s literally steps away from the best spot to watch the sun going down over the beautiful cliffs surrounding a Staithes. The cottage was squeaky clean and had everything we needed for a fab stay. Bed was super comfy and cosy shower was perfect and living room lovely to sit with a glass of wine. We ate in the Cod & Lobster and the Royal George both were great. Lovely cliff walk to Runswick Bay is also recommended. Staithes is a really stunning village and we’ll definitely be back to stay at Saltwater cottage!

The Granary is a beautiful and cosy place to stay that is accessible to many fantastic places such as Dalby Forest and the coastline. The accommodation is beautiful and we were made to feel very welcome where nothing was too much trouble. The animals were an added bonus. A truly outstanding place to stay that we would highly recommend. Thank you Duncan and Adrian.

Wonderful stay. David was a great, welcoming host, lovely arrival gifts of cake flowers, bread and the biggest choice of hot drinks available I've ever seen! Lovely inside , comfy lounge, wonderful bedding and robes. Great shower. Beautiful outside space. Really pleased with our choice to stay here.

Wonderful place with the comfiest bed ever. Such Wonderful views. watching the swallows. Everything we needed for a couple of nights. Would have loved some milk in the fridge but not too far to local farm shop to stock up.

What an absolute find. A beautifully refurbished and fitted cottage, immaculately presented and ready for us. The welcome hamper was indeed very welcome. If you are into alpacas, this is a great place to stay as Deborah and Nicky are experts. It’s a great place for accessing the north York moors and coming back to a quiet and restful night (the bed was super comfy). Deborah and Nicky were extremely welcoming and always available. We’ve been to many AirBNB places and can honestly say this is the best one yet. 10/10.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful barn before a family wedding. Wendy was kind enough to allow the bride and her entourage to get ready in the spacious living area, offering up her garden for photographs. Nothing was too much trouble and a few issues were dealt with swiftly. Highly recommended for a peaceful, countryside stay in glorious surroundings.

Well appointed, very comfortable cottage Very clean with everything that you would need On doorstep of Yarm high street Lovely walks by river Enjoyed drinks at bluebell pub What would improve stay would be permit to park

Perfection. Everything you want in a home from home - I only wish my home was as beautifully decorated as this cottage ! Everything considered and bought specifically for the place - lovely coffee cups - it makes all the difference to have a nice drink from a nice cup ! I slept better in this bed than I have since I was a teenager! loo is downstairs for those who may need a loo nearer - but thats the only thing I could imagine anyone finding a problem in this delightful home !!!! I will be back on my next time up home x
