Kid-friendly vacation rentals in North York Moors National Park

Fabulous stay in the most beautiful surroundings, Cottage was beautifully appointed with everything you would need to hand, cottage has been furnished exquisitely, from the Country style kitchen to the Master bedroom with Exposed stone wall, freestanding Bath, super king size bed and Walk in Shower. The outside of the cottage was equally as impressive, the patio area with seating, BBQ and Hot-tub was a great area to relax in the evening and watch the Sun Set, over the Wolds. Really great location, only a 15-20 minute drive to get to Pickering, Helmsley, Thornton le Dale and the coastal towns, Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. Stayed in the Irishman’s Cottage, though the grounds and surrounding properties were of a similar high standard. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ❤️

Wow! What a beautiful cottage in Staithes. The beds were super comfy, beautifully decorated throughout with everything needed for a self catering stay. The host David, was really friendly and met us on arrival to show us around the cottage. He even dropped off a pack of cards later in the day as we had forgotten ours! Stunning views on opening the lounge doors to hear the birds nesting in the cliffs and watch the tide coming in. We will definitely be staying again, soon hopefully! Thank you

Amazing location, easy walk up onto the moors or into Rosedale along the river valley. Beautifully restored and fitted out. Everything tool you could possibly need was provided in the kitchen. Peaceful seating area out the back and we loved seeing the rabbits and hearing the owls.

We had a great two night stay at this lovely cosy cottage. It’s set in beautiful surroundings and with Lucy’s instructions was very easy to find. The cottage was clean and warm with a welcome gift of Cake, milk, bread and butter. The basics are provided in the kitchen, you’re probably not going to cook a full three course dinner in there but it’s perfectly serviceable for making simple meals. It is in a great location with easy access to lots of worthwhile places to visit. Most importantly to us it was within a 30 minute drive to Newby Hall and Gardens for Tractor Fest 2025.

Any less than 5* or a-maz-ing would be doing Jane and Crabapple Cottage a disservice. The neighbours were fabulous too. We had everything we could possibly want in the cottage and looong garden, and more, including the trampoline 😄 Jane was super responsive to questions I raised even when she was out with a friend and immediately set to finding a solution to our mini problem. Settees and bed were very comfortable and our dog was immediately relaxed in the property which was also really important to us. So many places to visit nearby and lots to do, we could have spent way more time there.

Fantastic! This was our first holiday away with our toddler, and it was perfect. There were toys and books available, as well as a travel cot and high chair. The private garden was appreciated to kick a ball around. The whole place was immaculate and Lora should be very proud of this place. Big bonus - during a heatwave, the bedrooms remained max 22 degrees (we bought our room thermometer from home). We kept the curtains closed all day and everyone slept well at night in the cool. The fish and chip shop up the hill provided us with a delicious takeaway for our first night. It was only 10 minutes drive to the local Lidl, and another 10 to Whitby town centre. We may well be back!

Great place to stay in a lovely area. Very comfortable with everything we needed and lots of thoughtful little extras. John and Tricia were friendly and helpful hosts with lots of useful local recommendations. We loved meeting all the animals too. Would thoroughly recommend.

A lovely, deceptively spacious cottage just a few minutes drive from a host of excellent restaurants and some lovely towns and villages. Inside is stylish and squeaky clean, outside is perfect for breakfast in the morning sun (we were lucky enough to experience a Yorkshire heatwave when we stayed!) and evening sundowners. Helen is a super host, proactive with information and responsive when contacted. So nice to be welcomed with a tray of fizz, biscuits and crisps - and milk in the fridge. Shows the very best of what Airbnb can be.

We had a lovely weekend stay in this beautiful part of the country. Jackie could not have been friendlier or more helpful and provided us with delicious treats on arrival. The annexe is very comfortable, spotless, and we enjoyed sitting in the private courtyard as the weather was great. The village is so pretty and both evenings we had delicious meals at the pub (literally opposite). Perfect location to visit Helmsley, Thornton le Dale, Castle Howard. Could not recommend more.

Our second stay in this apartment. it's a perfect place to stay in Whitby. we had a great time again

Our third visit to this delightful flat, in a perfect location for Newby Hall and the Himalayan Garden, where we were visiting their sculpture exhibitions (my husband Tom has three sculptures in each of these this summer). The accommodation is first rate, and it is always like coming home.

A few words would not do justice to the accomodation or the surrounding area. The apartment was great and had everything you needed We had a fantastic time visiting Whitby Scarborough,Robins Hood Bay, Gouthland Fantastic holiday, we will be back.

Found the place quite easily, the place was spotlessly clean and a lovely little hideaway, cant fault the rooms, bathroom was lovely, couldn’t initially get onto the drive as the FIL parked over, once on the drive difficult if you are in a big vehicle to reverse out with cars parked opposite behind, so parked back on the road, unfortunately there was a concrete post at an angle hidden in the grass, i opened my door onto it denting it quite badly, shame we wasn’t made aware of this, i removed the yellow post Two real gripes, the heating situation only having two hours at a time is not good, it was cold nights when we visited, so when we went out for the night we came back to a very cold room, for the money paid, heating should be controlled by the guest or at least 4/5 hours on time Struggled to get a phone signal as in a valley, so resorted to Wi-Fi which was awful, it was that slow i could not update my iPhone, so be aware of this if you want contact with the outside world

The flat is very cosy, bright, clean, modern, well decorated and spacious, with all the rquired facilities. Tory was very responsive and helpful. A perfect location to enjoy scarborough.

We stayed for 5 nights in Simon's flat which was perfect! Helmsley is very pretty place with lots to do round and about so the location of the flat is ideal. It was easy to park and the flat very clean. The sitting room is a really good size, very comfortable and homely. Some rented properties (mainly managed by agents) are rather sterile and this was completely the opposite, somewhere you could settle into straight away and which had lots of character. The kitchen was well equiped and the bedroom very comfortable. We would highly recommend!

Fabulous stay, clean, bright & cosy. Beautiful & peaceful within walking distance to Whitby & easy travel to other areas. A great base to go and explore surrounding areas. Kim is a very responsive, friendly host 😁 Early check in & late check out were offered & taken. 5star accommodation will definitely be back in the future.

Extremely enjoyable stay in this property. From arriving we felt totally at home. The property is very well equipped and was very clean and comfortable. We particularly liked the location, so close to Pickering Market Street with its shops, pubs and eateries. We had no need to contact the host during our stay as everything went swimmingly but Deborah Elizabeth was very quick to respond to our pre arrival messages and she made it clear she was always on hand should we need her. Would not hesitate to recommend this property

Beautiful apartment with amazing views of the sea. Walkable to the promenade and sea front. Great places to eat on Milton Street (just as you come out of the car park) Very comfortable bed. Perfect for our short break in Saltburn

We loved our stay in Amanda's flat. It was very clean and tidy and well equipped with quality furnishings . The flat was very quiet . Paring was very easy and excellent to have. The flat is very well located and town is only a short walk away. We would definitely recommend this flat for a short stay in Whitby as Whitby proved to be larger than we appreciated and we realise there is more to see. Also, huge number of good bars and restaurants within easy reach. the sea view is also a huge plus. Only thing we think would improve the flat would be a few more lamps in the living room and bedrooms for ease of reading . Also, a soap tray in the en-suite bathroom would not go amiss. We are already considering booking again while we can.

Highly recommended. We’ll certainly book again when visiting Malton.

That saying “The Pictures don’t do it justice” is exactly true for Diane’s apartment - the pictures looked beautiful but the reality is even better. Very clean and everything you need. Great location and such a beautiful town with friendly people - we got the train into York one day, the station was less than a 10 min walk (station cafe is AMAZING) - all in all a great stay and hope we can come back again soon - thanks Diane!

We had a fantastic 4 day visit to the beautiful city of York based on Jenny's well located listing. Very rare spot at the center of it all, with large, excellent, Marks and Spencer grocers right out the front door. All the excitement of adjacent narrow passage ways through the Shambles. One of the best parts of being so close was the easy ability to wander through in the morning hours, before the other many tourists visiting York begin to crowd in. Comfortable flat, super-friendly and communicative host.

We loved our stay … the apartment was comfortable, light & airy with a pretty view out to the garden and the walls of York. Very easy walking distance to everything you would want to see & do in York. Great local restaurants. Could not recommend this apartment enough!!

Fabulous place to stay. Calm, peaceful and a beautiful view of the sea. I stayed with my husband and two children and we loved it. Lovely walk to pub down the road and only a short drive to Scarborough, Robin hoods bay and Whitby. Would definitely like to visit again!
