Cottage vacation rentals in Thornton Dale

Stayed here with my husband two children and our dog and felt at home. We loved being on the farm and the children enjoyed feeding the chickens. A great place to stay to explore York and surrounding areas. We loved relaxing in the hot tub in the evening and would definitely stay again, Thank you.

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 the BEST stay at Hazel Cottage. Steve was super friendly and helpful and the accommodation itself was so beautiful. It’s also so well stocked with loads of extra amenities that we took full advantage of! We will deffo be back ❤️

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

We had the most beautiful stay — the cottage was peaceful, private, and instantly felt like home. Everything was spotless and smelt amazing, with such a lovely, calming vibe throughout. The decor was gorgeous, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The hot tub was the perfect finishing touch for a truly relaxing weekend. The hosts went above and beyond with thoughtful details like fresh eggs in the morning and chocolates waiting for us on arrival. Communication was smooth and friendly from start to finish. You can really feel the care and effort put into every part of the stay. I’d absolutely recommend this place — it’s a little gem, and I’d love to return!

We have had a lovely holiday. We found the bungalow to be very clean, the sofas and beds were very comfortable and there was everything we needed for our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better location , sitting in the garden or in the sunroom listening to the waves made for a very relaxing holiday. Lisa was a great host and we hope to return soon.

Wow , beautiful location & holiday home filled with bespoke wooden furniture ( including the most comfortable bed ever - a massive oak 4 poster). Lots of extra touches as mentioned in other reviews , the robes , huge bath sheets ( towels), bread/ jam & biscuits . Beautiful views in a peaceful setting , the courtyard garden is a sun trap bathed in bird song, and a deer appeared in the field as I enjoyed a morning cuppa. The hot tub is great & easy to use. Henry & Jane were welcoming and on hand if needed but left us in peace to enjoy our stay . The timber mill showroom is well worth a visit to see more gorgeous bespoke wooden furnishings , lovely walk to the village of Rosedale past the farm animals in the fields with the hills in the background. Perfection , can’t fault it at all. Love to stay again , thankyou for hosting us .

we were very impressed with Nicholas house very clean and equipped every thing we needed was there and more Location was great close to restrauants and Thirsk where we had lunch . could not fault it Will definitely go again

Amazing cottage that felt like home as soon as we walked in, this is our second stay and third is already being booked. Love the place

Lovely little place. Cute and cozy. It's nicely decorated. The host left us a welcome basket which was lovely, and even left our dogs some bits. Everything you need is close like shops, cafes, pubs, takeaways. The location was fab for us. We went to Whitby first and travelled to Middlesbrough & Saltburn on sea over the weekend. All 30 minutes or less away. Thank you. We had a lovely stay.

We have stayed in Beckside Cottage several times; it's small, but doesn't feel claustrophobic. It's in the perfect location for us, less than 5 minutes from the beach, even closer to the pub and beautifully peaceful. Beckside Cottage is always well-presented, which is no easy feat in an extremely old building, and Emma is a wonderful host. We are already checking the dates for our next visit, It's a great place to unwind.

Wow - we can’t rate the outlook highly enough! Communication was excellent throughout and check-in was really easy. The place itself is fantastic - a gorgeous, cosy space, spotlessly clean, with a beautiful view of the sea. The garden was ideal for letting our dog out before bedtime, which was really handy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing night in, and we loved spending the evening on the sofa enjoying the sea view. The shower was fantastic too - just what we needed after a 15km coastal walk! Saltburn is a lovely place to explore - we’d definitely recommend a wander along the beach, fish and chips near the pier, and walking part of the Cleveland Way if you’re up for a bit of a challenge. We also treated ourselves to a coffee and biscoff blondie at the hotel after check-out - genuinely one of the best puddings we’ve ever had! We can’t wait to visit again - thank you so much for a perfect stay!

We enjoyed a lovely stay at this amazing little cottage, the cottage is beautiful and we can't wait to return.

The Hayloft is a really cosy place to stay and Karen and Andy have furnished it to an excellent standard. The vintage but quality furniture in the bedrooms, the paintings of York on the stairs and the extremely well kitted out kitchen makes it feel very homely and a place where we immediately relaxed. There are so many places easily accessible from the Hayloft; highlights of our holiday were visits to RSPB Bempton, Fraisthorpe beach, Pocklington canal, Beverley, Malton and Scampston Walled gardens. Lastly if you are a garden lover then you will definitely enjoy looking at the beautiful vegetable garden and paddock ( with dog toys) that Andy and Karen lovingly attend.

Jennifer’s place Derwent House East Wing is the perfect location if you want a peaceful and charming stay. More than you could wish for a quiet area with some restaurants and convenience store a very short walk away and a short drive to the coast and more beautiful surroundings. The bed was super comfy and the lounge just delightful. The added bonus of some walks from the back garden gate too. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again.

We really loved Clarey and Barney’s place! We were treated so well! They were very warm and welcoming, and they responded promptly. The house was just as beautiful as it looked in the photos. We stayed for two days and went for walks every evening. The peaceful village made us feel so comfortable.

We would highly recommend staying at Rachel’s Airbnb. It was exactly as described And there was everything you could think of for a stay of up to 4 people. Very clean and beautifully decorated with plenty of information on Pickering and the surrounding area. Rachel communicated straight away when I queried if the parking was suitable for a van rather Then a car (and it was)…and instructions on checking in was very easy.

We had a lovely stay at Zoe’s delightful cottage , very comfortable , well equipped with everything you need . Zoe even left us wine , eggs & milk & Bakewell tarts ! Thank you Zoe we loved it 😊

This little cottage in Whitby was perfect for a long weekend getaway. Super close to everything you might need or want to see, e.g. shops, restaurants, the Abbey and loads of wonderful walks along the cliffs etc. The place was spotless and the little touches like having milk and biscuits there waiting for us made it feel super homely straight away. A fabulous base if you want to visit Whitby (the host provided many recommendations of places to eat and visit too!), very much recommend!

We really enjoyed our long-weekend stay at Angie's. It was very private, cosy and well equipped with comfortable spaces, including beds and lovely linen. All the instructions were helpful and we were grateful to have all the excellent kitchen amenities in particular.. We enjoyed the remote location because there was good access to nearby towns. We used Malton for our EV car charging. The countryside was beautiful and there was plenty to see and do. We used an online app for information about local walks but there was information in a folder in the chalet too. lovely stay- thank you :-)

Manor Cottage was immaculate and very well equipped with everything you could possibly require. It was set in lovely gardens and the area itself was very convenient for reaching all the attractions which North Yorkshire had to offer on its Moors and in its Dales.

Our second stay in this beautiful holiday home. Immaculately presented and lovely hosts. Great location, quiet but ideal for walkers and those on driving holidays. Also excellent for any one with mobility problems. Handy for Dalby Forest, Whitby, Pickering, Scarborough and the many lanes less travelled, fabulous scenic views and picturesque villages that North Yorkshire Moors has to offer. Also handy for the North Yorks Steam Railway. Our favourite and most perfect holiday haven and we will return again in the future.

We had a wonderful time. Lovely cottage, great location close to local amenities and only a short walk to the beach. We loved it!

What a great little find! We very much enjoyed its remoteness and being set in woods. The Nook had everything you would want and we loved watching the action on the bird feeders as well as viewing deer, pheasants and owls from the doorstep. From here we were able to explore the moors, the forest and the stunning coastline.
