These very well cared for cottages are situated in one of the most peaceful and beautiful areas of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, almost at the head of Glaisdale. Nab End is no longer a working farm and its stone buildings now house five skilfully converted holiday cottages, which are cosy, comfortable and attractive. The owners, who live in the main farmhouse, welcome their guests with the warmth so typical of this lovely part of Yorkshire, and take every care to ensure an enjoyable stay.
The cottages look out over immaculately maintained lawns bordered with shrubs and flowers, and visitors are also free to enjoy the delightful gardens of the owners’ home . On every side of the farm is the steep dale of sheep farms, pine woods, waterfalls and streams – a perfect English rural scene, still mercifully unspoilt.
This is wonderful walking country, with a network of footpaths leading up on to the moors, and more gentle walks along the riverside. There is good fishing in the river, and plenty of excellent pubs and places to eat within 3 miles. Nearby are villages such as Goathland, Egton and Lealholm, all picturesque little places close to the River Esk as it makes its way to the sea at Whitby (12 miles). Goathland, with its superb stone-built houses, is better known as Aidensfield in television’s popular Heartbeat series. From nearby Grosmont, the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway makes a delighful ride through stunning moorland scenery, skirting the edge of the North Riding Forest Park, until it reaches the market town of Pickering.
The beautiful heritage coastline is within easy reach, with stunning cliff scenery and many delightful fishing villages to explore. Whitby, famous as the town from which Captain Cook set off on his voyages of discovery, is a bustling seaside resort and fishing port, yet still retains its old world charm. There are steep streets crammed with cottages, a busy harbour and attractive marina, and a wealth of antique and craft shops. Above the town, the ruined abbey looks down from the cliff tops, and a long sandy beach completes the picture. Robin Hood’s Bay lies just down the coast, clinging to the steep cliffside. It was once the haunt of smugglers and The Smuggling Experience, open in summer, captures the atmosphere well. York is less than an hour’s drive away, offering a wealth of attractions, from its famous museums, to theatres, restaurants, and superb shops. Shops 3 miles.
