Goathland, a picturesque village nestled in the North York Moors National Park, is located just beyond the park's northern boundary. Around it, the untamed broad moorlands offer wonderful hiking and sheep-herding opportunities. The television show Heartbeat has made the village a household name. The North York Moors Steam Railway station is located near the bottom of the settlement. Travel to Whitby or Pickering by train and take in the scenery as it snakes its way over moorland. With Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hood's Bay, and Scarborough all within reasonable driving distance, Goathland is an ideal location for a family vacation.

    Excellent hosts Magnificent location and the barn conversion is superb Hot tub and views superb Great area for visiting the local attractions and walking Highly recommend

  • Malc

    It was comfortable, cosy and very peaceful. The conversion had been done to a very high standard and provided us with everything we could possibly want from a holiday let. A real bonus was the amazing view from the properties. We were able to look out over the valley and the moors with the added attraction of being able to see the steam trains of the North York Moors railway passing by. Our days started with the most amazing sunrises.
