Cottage holiday rentals in Thirsk

If you like Quiet, clean, comfortable, walks, good village pub, every where an easy drive from Scotton….You will love this cottage. We had a lovely relaxing time here our Whippet loved it also. Holly & Alastair are excellent hosts, we would definitely recommend staying here.

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?

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

We had a superb few days at Gemma and Andrew’s cottage. Burythorpe is a beautiful place, the village is really quaint and we were lucky to have some amazing weather. We were greeted with a lovely message from Gemma and bottle of complimentary bubbles which we would never say no to. Gemma was responsive but left an amazing guidebook (and website link) which was really helpful in planning our stay and stated every question we had for use of things inside the cottage. We visited The Pheasant with our newborn and had a really great lunch, the rest of our time in Malton and relaxing at the cottage. The cottage has a beautiful outdoor space, prepped with everything you’ll need for a BBQ, hot tub and Gemma even left little bits like oil, pasta, spices etc. It’s really nice to stay with a host who has meticulously planned everything you might need or forget especially with my baby brain! Thanks so much to Gemma and Andrew, we highly recommend staying and hope to return soon!

Our second time at the gorgeous Preston Mill Loft and it was just as wonderful as we remember. Super dog friendly, the upgraded hot tub is IMMENSE, comfy bed, welcoming hosts, beautiful scenery, well stocked kitchen. The lot. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Spent 3 lovely peaceful days here! The place is spotless. Easy to check in, but quite a late one for standard check in times. Even with surrounding neighbours there was minimal disturbance.

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.

I've stayed here before, and I always enjoy coming back.. I use it as a base while I do a running event over the weekend. My parents and Meg the dog enjoy coming over to stay. The host is responsive to any questions, and the property is less than a 30-second walk from the centre of Helmsley. We'll certainly return.

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

Both Leisa and Rob were excellent hosts. The accommodation was beautifully presented with some nice welcoming touches. Would definitely like to return again. Neil and Linda

We absolutely loved our stay at Debbie and Stephen's beautiful cottage. It's set right in the middle of the Yorkshire countryside with easy access to the A19 and views of the Kilburn White Horse from the bed! They also have a woodland on their property which our dog frolicked in like a land dolphin and completely adored. The cottage was so warm and cosy, exactly what you need to reset the batteries. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we'll be back!

We booked this Airbnb for a wedding in Masham and it was perfectly located and beautifully decorated. Would definitely recommend. Hosts were amazingly helpful too. Thank you.

Beautiful and cosy little cottage in a picturesque village a 15/20 minute drive from York. We stayed in winter &, besides anything else, the log burning fire alone made it ultra cosy whilst the winds outside blew. The cottage had all the amenities for us to feel at home, including a very good shower and full kitchen. Rich was a very friendly and responsive host who was more than willing to accommodate our request to bring our dog too. Thank you very much for letting us stay!!

The cottage was lovely; lots of lovely touches and decor. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need, with tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate etc provided. The beds were super comfy. We were a little nervous of the parking situation, but it was absolutely fine - the square is very open with quite a few cars parked overnight, so we didn’t feel at all concerned about leaving the car. It was a little noisy with lorry traffic in the night and early hours, so worth taking ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise. Overall we had a lovely stay. We were lucky enough to have dinner at Where There’s Smoke, and we really recommend it for a special meal.

The house is peaceful and beautiful but a tad expensive. Great position on Sinnington’s walking trail. However, unless one manages the upstairs roof skylight blinds the bedroom got quite hot and even when you did it was still very warm. Probably needs a way to let fresh air in. Also we thought the host could have made personal contact with us - we tried several times to no avail however, the hosts email comms were always quick and freely gave great advice. We were proactively well supplied with helpful walking information which we were very grateful. This sounds a bit negative but overall we enjoyed staying there. Suggest a whats app number would be good for overseas travellers who usually only have that means available to make immediate contact possible.

We had such a beautiful stay, Sarah's property was just what we needed. We will be back again for certain. The property smelt beautiful the moment you entered the door, it is finished beautifully. The beds are comfortable. The views are magnificent. Local pubs, restaurants and amenities are welcoming and delicious.

What a lovely place this is. Thank you so much David 😊 would definitely recommend this place, it's so cute. We'd also recommended local places Riverhead brewery, peel st social, zapato brewery, handmade bakery. Walks on the doorstep, canal on the doorstep too. Absolutely beautiful surroundings. Rogers bakery too but it's only open Saturdays and we missed it.

Great location, in a peaceful country spot, but close enough to enjoy Durham. We had a lovely stay, and Paula was really helpful. We had hot weather, but the windows opened fully to allow a breeze to go through, and the bedrooms being downstairs were cooler. Enjoyed a barbecue outside one evening in the sunshine. Would definitely recommend - a lovely stay. Thanks.

Wow! What a fantastic place to stay. The cottage was a perfect haven for a relaxing holiday. The scenery was breathtaking, and we spent much of the time gazing out of the window at the dramatic weather and wildlife. We wished we could have stayed longer! And will recommend it to all our friends. Many thanks Sally, Kevin and Pippa 🐾

Just had the cosiest stay at Triangle Cottage! Very tastefully decorated, the comfiest bed and the dreamy rolled top bath with the views made it all the more relaxing! It had everything I needed for a wee retreat with my dog in the countryside. Perfect walkable distance to the city centre and various hikes around. Strongly recommend!

Lovely little place. Very cosy, everything we needed for a little night away. The village is stunning

Thank you for having us, we loved the peaceful location of your cottage, the delicious lemon cake and stunning views. The dog field was perfect for my spaniel, she loved racing around the paths and through the long grass, it was also the ideal location for us to enjoy a drink and a bit of reading in the sun. We got up for the sunrise, as times had kindly been provided by Jacqui, and it was a stunning morning where we enjoyed our coffee outside and spent the time with hundreds of birds including woodpeckers, swallows and bull finches flying around. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and both hosts were welcoming, both in person and on email.

Peaceful getaway tucked away from the world, fabulous bathroom without standing views from the bathtub. Spacious living room with modern appliances in kitchen.
