“Lovely cottage with warm welcome from host.”

Tranquil location nestled on the slopes of the Murk Esk Valley, with view of the NYM Heritage Railway across the Valley. Plenty of walking from the doorstep, wildlife to spot and great night skies, with the luxury of viewing from a hot tub.

Malc September 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay at Foxglove.”

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.

- Malc, September 2024

We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review You will be very welcome to stay with us again Kind regards Denise Property Owner

Maggie April 2024

“Brilliant place to stay.”

..landscape is stunning. Cottage lovely everything you need and more. Loved the hot tub and watching the steam train go by. Watching the barn owl was magical. Hosts are very welcoming. Away from.it all...very peaceful. The only downside is the track to reach the property...mud track with lots of pot holes.

- Maggie, April 2024

Many thanks for your lovely feedback and we are glad you enjoyed it. The wider estate has been doing some logging for two weeks and so a lorry did have to use the approach track to the estate which combined with some recent bad weather may have caused some temporary holes, the approach track will of course all be resolved very shortly. We are glad you enjoyed the solitude and local wildlife too. Property Owner
Carmen April 2024

“Foxglove was excellent place to stay It had everything you needed from a dishwasher to a washing machine ect Towels were provided and after a long day walking you can relax in the hot tub when you get back.”

The views were amazing from foxglove and you could sit in hot tub and watch the steam train go by. You also get a gift for you when you arrive but you will have to book.to find that one out. All in all I would definitely recommend foxglove

“The property is accessed by a long track approximately 0.”

4 of a mile -rest assured you are on the correct route. Property stunning and very clean. Owner Denise friendly and happy to give advice. We loved the peaceful surrounding the only sounds were of nature. Being able to relax in the hub tub and see the Barn Owl swoop over and the ducks waddle by was very special. Many walks on the doorstep, we were lucky enough to see deer whilst staying at Foxglove. We totally enjoyed our stay and will happily return

Ella February 2024

“We had a lovely 4 night stay at Foxglove.”

We received a warm welcome from Denise and her 2 sons, and found the property very clean and well-equipped for our stay - our only recommendations would be some lids for the saucepans and some fairy liquid in the kitchen. The property had beautiful views over the valley and a fantastic hot tub which we enjoyed every evening. We also had lots of fun with the 2 golden Labradors who were very friendly, and it was great to see the ducks and chickens! Thank you!

- Ella, February 2024

Thank you for your review so pleased you enjoyed your selves I may have missed the washing up liquid as we live on site we’re always available to assist Kind regards Denise Property Owner
Annette October 2023

“Beautifully renovated barn in a fabulous setting.”

Very cosy and comfortable with everything you could need. We received a warm welcome from host Denise. One of the most memorable highlights is sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine, watching the steam trains pass in the valley below. Highly recommended.

Tim October 2023

“A genuinely beautiful cottage with genuinely beautiful surroundings, the owners are also genuinely decent and kind people, very welcoming and warm.”

The welcome pack was certainly above average and the overall level of relaxation and peace was soon very evident, All in all very limited in what to say that could have improved our stay, and in truth with all the positives experienced it would feel petty to even consider mentioning anything .

- Tim, October 2023

We are very pleased that you chose to have your holiday with us. Thank you for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure having you stay with us and thank you for looking after the barn beautifully. You will be very welcome to stay with us again. Kind regards Denise Property Owner

Frank August 2023

“Our recent week's stay at Foxglove, exceeded any expectations we might have had.”

We were welcomed by Denise on arrival who explained everything. Denise was the most hospitable and friendly host we have ever had the fortune of meeting! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated and we even had a lovely hamper waiting for us too. Denise even took showed us her fabulous duck pond and all the chickens, cockerels and rabbits! What a lovely lady! We had the most fabulous relaxing week. The hot tub was 5* and we'd often watch the steam train trundle by in the valley below, then there were the visits from super friendly and funny Ozzy & Casper (the doggies) Gaz the cat and the 4 friendly white ducks on our doorstep a twice a day!! We cannot wait to revisit Foxglove. It truly was a very special place and a hidden gem. Great places to visit in Whitby too, thoroughly recommend the Park & Ride. Free parking and £2.60 per person return & 10 mins on the bus. We can honestly say, we arrived at Foxglove as guests, but left as friends. Special thanks to Christopher (Denise's son) for his kindness, always being on hand and checking the hot tub every day!

- Frank, August 2023

It was a real pleasure having you wonderful couple stay with us. I must say Casper, Ozzy, Gaz and the ducks miss you. We look forward to seeing you here again and a massive thank you for leaving the barn in a wonderful clean condition. Kind regards Denise Property Owner

“Foxglove is a lovely cottage in a fantastic setting.”

The welcome from Denise and her basket of goodies was first rate. The cottage is perfect for a couple, you have everything you need. Lovely kitchen with all mod cons, cosy living room, with smart tv, comfy bed with adjoining shower room. Then the cherry on top is the hot tub looking over that view, watching the Steam Trains passing by. Perfect peaceful get away with lovely walks nearby.

- Brian, July 2023

Sarah July 2023

“We found Foxglove to be a clean, comfortable and peaceful country cottage.”

It was a treat to enjoy the fabulous views across the valley whilst relaxing in the hot tub. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We appreciated the welcome pack and fresh laid eggs. The cottage is within easy reach of Whitby and the coast. There are also great walking opportunities and the Heritage North Yorkshire Moors Railway near by.

Beautiful little lodge perfect for two, hot tub was lovely and we couldn’t stay out of it the owners where exceptional, always there if you needed them or just wanted a chat and where never intrusive the place was clean and tidy and they even left us a welcome basket of goodies for our arrival, the various animals wondering about where always a lovely sight to see matched with the scenic views of forestry and steam trains couldn't be happier with our choice to stay

- Roan, May 2023

It was a pleasure to meet you both thank you for leaving the barn beautifully clean You will be welcomed to stay anytime Kind regards Denise Property Owner
Caroline May 2023

“The cottage is beautiful and on the whole, well equipped.”

We mentioned to Denise whilst we were staying that the addition of a towel rail in the bathroom and a small light in the dining area would make it perfect. We had to resort to hanging our towels on the clothes horse each day as there was nowhere to put them to dry after a shower. The track down to the cottage is definitely not for the faint hearted. I had no idea reading the reviews that is was so steep and would have really appreciated it being mentioned before we booked. Yes the views are stunning once you get down to the cottage but it would have been nice to know how steep and long the track was beforehand. For those wanting peace and quiet as well as stunning views this cottage is perfect.

- Caroline, May 2023

We are in the process of putting a hoop in the shower room for a towel to be hung up. However, the clothes horse is there to dry towels on, especially as our customers use the hot tub being a one bed cottage. There isn’t room for a heated towel rail in the bathroom. We are positioned on the side of the valley, and thus you will need to come down a Farm track, to reach us and enjoy the beautiful panoramic views of the valley As always, we appreciate our customers feedback. Thank you.Denise Property Owner
Nadia April 2023

“The cottage was just lovely, we wanted for nothing .”

Parking right outside the door. We both slept very well, bed really comfortable nice bedding and not forgetting the hot tub best one we have had, the view from the hot tub is amazing . Check the map and websites to plan day trips to see what’s going on . I would like to say a very big thank you to Denise fantastic host the fresh eggs from the chickens was a big plus for us. A very big thank you

- Nadia, April 2023

It was a pleasure to have you both as guests a big thank you for looking after and leaving the barn beautifully clean. I look forward to seeing you both again Kind regards Denise Property Owner
Elspeth April 2023

“Beautiful barn conversion in a lovely location overlooking the NYMR.”

Friendly hosts and mostly well equipped, though missed a cafetiere, and a towel rail in the bathroom would be helpful. Really appreciated the dishwasher though! As others have noted the track to the property is steep and very potholed, glad it wasn't too muddy while we were there.

- Elspeth, April 2023

We are lucky to be onsite and able to obtain anything that our guests needed just ask and I would get one. Having the panoramic beautiful views on a valley will indeed mean that we have a gradient to reach us. And the road is due a reconstruction in accordance with the owners. We thank you for your custom we wish you both well Denise Property Owner
Joanne April 2023

“Amazing property and a wonderful host.”

“Could not have asked for a more perfect holiday cottage experience.”

Gorgeous location, warm and friendly hosts and spotlessly clean. We loved star-gazing in the hot tub, being greeted by all the animals and playing games by the log burner at night. Denise and family have thought of everything and are so helpful and inviting. An amazing getaway - we can't wait to come back!

“Lovely cottage with great views, you can watch the steam trains in the valley below or the stars from the hot tub at night, plus the wildlife or just gaze at the lovely scenery.”

Peaceful location in a great spot for visiting Whitby and beyond. Denise and her family are really friendly and welcoming. The animals are amazing, chickens, cats and of course Casper the dog, great to engage with all of them. Casper is kept under good control for those worried about dogs. Could not recommend this cottage enough. Denise and family have done a great job and deserve every success.

- Nicola, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback very pleased you enjoyed your visit always welcome Look forward to seeing you soon Kind regards Denise and family Property Owner

About the location

GOATHLAND

Whitby 9 miles.

The idyllic village of Goathland is set on the north eastern edge of the North York Moors National Park. It is surrounded by the rugged open moorlands which provide excellent walking country and on which sheep graze freely. The village has been popularised by the television programme Heartbeat. At the bottom of the village lies the station for the famous North York Moors Steam Railway. Here you can catch a train to Whitby or Pickering and relax as the train winds its way through the moors. Goathland is within easy reach of the East Coast towns of Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough, making it a great holiday base.

Please note: bookings must fall between a Friday to Friday during peak spring and summer season and all school holidays.
