"Character cottages surrounded by 40 acres of open countryside in the ancient manor grounds of this listed Old Hall, on the beautiful North Yorkshire Coast…"

Situated within substantial grounds, Killerby Old Hall and its cottages are ideal for a countryside holiday whilst being less than 2 miles from the sandy beach of Cayton Bay. Guests can explore the nature reserve and lake area, walk the open fields spotting deer, rabbits, pheasants and other wildlife, or relax in the indoor heated swimming pool. The original manor house was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1087. The accommodation ranges from the Old Hall sleeping up to 11 in period splendour, with its own imposing front lawns and side garden, through to the cosy Crow’s Nest for 2 persons, nestling in the courtyard with a patio overlooking the orchard. Yard End House is an attractive barn conversion offering spacious accommodation for up to 12, including a double bedroom on the ground floor and a private sauna, with the remaining cottages converted from the original stables. All guests can enjoy the indoor heated swimming pool plus a shared games room with pool table, darts and table tennis. Within the grounds is a playing field, orchards, a lake and small woodland walks to enjoy.
Killerby Old Hall is situated between the coastal resorts of Scarborough and Filey on part of Britain’s Heritage Coast. Central, with the North Yorkshire Moors of ‘Heartbeat Country’ to the North and the Yorkshire Wolds to the West, which are both Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Killerby is within easy range of many popular locations. These include Whitby, quaint Robin Hoods Bay, a former smugglers haunt, Castle Howard, the market towns of Helmsley and Pickering, the starting point for the North York Moors railway, plus the famous twin bays and castle of Scarborough. For the more adventurous Flamingo Land, the popular theme park can be visited or the Langdale forest experience, 4x4 and off road driving, is within a 30-minute drive. Cayton is just a 500 yard stroll away with its two pubs, post office and shops; full amenities in Scarborough are 4½ miles, making Killerby a perfect location to enjoy the rural life without being too remote. Village shops ¼ mile.
