Cottage holiday rentals in Thornton Dale

Beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean, Marisa very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. Would love to return one day and will definitely recommend especially to families with children ❤️

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?

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!

Really enjoyable stay. Everything was perfect, and I would return if I were back in the area. The location was peaceful, private, and surrounded by beautiful nature — exactly what I was hoping for. The space was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.

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.

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

We had an amazing week it was perfect for the dogs straight out to the Valley Gardens and a good sized, secure garden. Amenities were close to hand including train station and bus stops we didn’t use the car all week. Stunning walks and friendly bars and cafes. The Outlook was an amazing property we can’t recommend it enough. Also check out the spa hotel 🥹

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

It was a beautiful little home and we are so pleased we got the chance to stay there, really private with great views. The garden was enclosed so it was good to be allowed to let the dog out into the garden without a worry. It was really central so we could get to a lot of places and it really felt like home. 🩷

A fabulous weekend at the Hayloft. Beautiful property with everything thought of, even down to toys for the dogs. Would definitely go again and would highly recommend. Thank you Karen and Andy 😀

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 had a wonderful stay. The cottage was of a very high standard with beautiful furniture, very comfortable bed and a high quality kitchen. We loved all the extra touches like the personalised mats and shell wall decorations. Hunmanby was a great place to stay. Lovely beach walks and the local fish and chip shop is a must for fish lovers. Thank you very much Michelle. We were very impressed with everything! Our dog Molly had a lovely time too. She enjoyed the dog treats. Thank you. Jenny and Kevin. xxx

A beautiful little cottage in the heart of Whitby. We fell in love with the Old Dispensary. One night wasn’t enough. We’ll be back for another stay very soon. Thank you so much.

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 absolutely loved The Hideaway and wished we'd been able to stay for more than one night. Louise was so friendly and helpful, and although we didn't get to meet, we had everything we wanted and quick help when we messaged her with questions about where to eat etc. The Hideaway is immaculately clean and so stylish. The bed was super comfy and the shower fantastic. The kitchen was spotless and well stocked with utensils and crockery and Louise had kindly left us fresh eggs (from her gorgeous free ranging chickens, who came to say hello as we arrived), fresh milk and bread and a bakery treat each. It's a light, bright and welcoming apartment with beautiful views over Nidderdale. We had complete privacy and even a little garden space with picnic table and fabulous view. We were delighted to wake to the gentle calls of the curlews in nearby fields and we felt truly 'on holiday'. The sad part was leaving .. we really hope to be back soon and to explore this amazing part of Yorkshire

We had a lovely stay, great location and excellent view, very clean and had everything we could have asked for. Penny gave very clear information about where to park and local restaurants.

Judi’s cottage is perfect in every way. With high quality furnishings, it’s well presented, in excellent condition, spotlessly clean and in a very peaceful location. Whilst it’s close to the main house, the cottage has it’s own private entrance and garden space, with the hosts being very respectful of guest privacy. The gardens are amazing and a great place to unwind. The location of the cottage makes an ideal base for visiting the main attractions in North Yorkshire and beyond. We would be delighted to stay here again on our next visit to the area.

Wow. What a beautiful place to spend the Easter weekend. Sarah’s place is a home from home. It has everything you need to enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the surrounding area. Milk, eggs (chocolate too!) were here when we arrived, a lovely touch. The house was sparkling clean and bigger than the photos show. The pub across the road is ideal for a drink and top notch pub grub. York is 30 minutes to the park and ride (definitely do this to save on expensive parking), but the beauty is the walks around the area. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks for being a great host!

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.

Thank you for a lovely stay. Extremely tranquil and relaxing, very clean, not too expensive. The surrounding forest is breathtaking and the hosts extremely nice, we appreciate all the recommendations for activities in the area. Most importantly, couldn't imagine a better place to take our dog to. 10/10

Thank you Margaret for a stay we will always remember with great fondness. The cottage is picture perfect, beautifully decorated, and character filled with everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect, with Whitby and Robins Hood Bay close by. We were not expecting how spectacular the country side is, and the views from the cottage were stunning. Margaret is the perfect host, and her accomodation is of the highest quality. Ten out if Ten from us!

Great location for Robin Hoods Bay, wonderful view from the accommodation. Comfy bed, very clean throughout. Powerful shower. Plenty of cooking utensils. We really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you ☺️ Would recommend walking from Robin Hoods Bay to Whitby along the Cleveland Way and getting the bus back. Very good bus service.
