Guesthouse vacation rentals in North Yorkshire

Great private location, a few miles from Whitby and at the doorstep of the North York Moors. Diana was responsive, attentive and an all around perfect host! Would definitely stay again!

Lovely break with parents and our son, 30 mins to York main town, we got a little lost on how to find the main door but the host quickly showed us it’s just to the back of the main house through the main garden area.

We had an amazing time at this venue. Lovely people and even the locals who use the pub from around the area were so welcoming. Fantastic way to start the New Year.

Really enjoyed ourselves - the snoozy owl pod was a fantastic place to stay

Sara and Tom we’re incredibly attentive and very helpful. They responded very quickly to my questions which allowed me to make the best out of our time in their gorgeous little abode. The room was beautifully decorated, clean and had excellent amenities. The coffee (kept in the fridge for freshness) was delicious and we received complimentary breakfast before we left for home. We were really pleased with the location. Thank you, Sara, Tom and Ted, for looking after us so brilliantly.

fantastic location overlooking the sea and lovely rooms and breakfast was fantastic. Would highly recommend and will come back.

We had a lovely Easter break at the accommodation. Cute and comfortable little house. We liked the decorations, lots of nice touches. A view from the second floor is beautiful and peaceful. Bed was really comfortable. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Homemade bread and food for breakfast was much appreciated. Pru and her husband were super welcoming. Highly recommend for a stay.

Perfect stay at Kate’s from start to finish. Kate was helpful, friendly and responsive and even ensured I had a DVD player to watch my training videos. Lovely private spot and spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend!

Would give the cottage and Kitty, our host, a million stars if we could! From the beautiful landscape to the cozy cottage, we loved every minute of our stay. Kitty recommended lots of great restaurants and shops in nearby villages which we enjoyed checking out. Their are walking trails right off the property. We spotted all kinds of birds, deer, and loved the horses and cows nearby. The cottage is decorated so lovely and having a fire in the evening was such a comfort. It's very clean and supplied well with kitchen utensils, coffee, etc. We were genuinely sad to leave! We hope to be back soon, if Kitty will have us! Can't recommend a stay here enough, you will have a wonderful time!

My daughter and I had a lovely stay. This is the second time I’ve stayed and would highly recommend. Karen is always friendly and attentive and we had everything we needed. The bungalow itself is cosy and spotless. We caught the bus to York both days which was easy to do and we had a great time in York. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again x

We valued having a peaceful place to stay within easy reach of the hospital for visiting a close relative. It was very quiet and comfortable and we appreciated kitchenette provision with microwave, induction hob, toaster and kettle etc and also somewhere to relax on nice seating downstairs. The loft area was ideal with good shower etc and quality bedding that gave us a good night's sleep. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the heating worked well so we were kept lovely and warm. Finally we appreciated the breakfast provision which was left for us. We came by car and parked on the drive but we do use rail sometimes and have railcards so the station nearby might be handy for some future visit.

Just returned from a 2 night stay at Fiona’s place. The lodge was as described, modern and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Check in was super easy and we were made to feel at home from the get go, Fiona went above and beyond. Thank you for the little attention to details. The lodge was spotless and spacious, with all of the amenities we needed. The outdoor area where the hot tub is located, is private and peaceful, also with beautiful scenery looking onto the lake. Communication from Fiona throughout the process was informative and prompt. The lodge is in a good location. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return back. Thank you Fiona!

Studio 17 is lovely, homely and more spacious than it looks. Everything has been thought of down to the smallest detail to make your stay comfortable. It's set on a private cul de sac and is very quiet. There are 2 great pubs only 3 mins walk away which both serve great food and drink & the bus to York is only 5 mins walk away Liz was a very friendly host who always responded quickly. Will definately stay again in the future.

wonderful stay, will recommend it to anybody we know who is thinking about staying at Knaresborough

Great little stay here, everything we needed! Hosts are nearby and super friendly!

we had a great time. the house was great. it had everything we needed for a 2 night stay. we walked to York one day and and got the bus next (very easy). the space is homely. bed was very comfortable. if we were in York again we would love stay again if possible.

We received very clear instructions from Selena and Peter to find the property, we didn't need to contact them for anything but it seemed very clear they were responsive and available if necessary while allowing us our privacy. The annex is a lovely, bright well decorated little space that is well equipped with cool features (skylights with blinds!) and doesn't feel remotely cramped. It's high quality in ways you don't always see in an Airbnb, like the fully tiled floor. Parking is well off from the road and spacious enough for several vehicles and the property is very close to some lovely walking routes along the river. Into York itself is a very short walk. We were only in York for a short time but would gladly have stayed longer. Thanks for having us!

I booked this accommodation for a newlywed couple, and they absolutely loved it! From the start, Louise was an incredible host—her communication was excellent throughout the whole process, which made everything smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was the thoughtful surprise she left for the couple—it completely made their day and added such a personal, memorable touch to their stay. The place itself is stunning, with beautiful views and a relaxed vibe that's just perfect for a city break. Would 100% recommend staying here. Thank you again, Louise, for making their experience so special!

Lovely stay at Alison's place. Alison met us when we arrived and was very responsive. My husband broke his leg shortly before arrival, meaning our plans for long walks were thwarted! Alison was full of helpful suggestions. The house was compact but peaceful (once we got used to the noisy cows). We had not realised there were no cooking facilities, but that was our mistake.

Great stay at Little Winton, ideally located for our visit to the area, delightful, beautifully presented property. Super hosts, highly recommend.

This is such a charming guesthouse. Very bright and spacious as well as spotless and cosy. Mick was great. He provided us with detailed instructions on how to find the place and gave us a little tour when we arrived. He even provided us with milk, bread and fruit. I would love to stay here again.

Such a beautiful & peaceful place, great bed & bedding, I wish I could have stayed longer.

The location is stunning! The cottage has everything you could need, spotlessly clean, comfy beds, and the hot tub is the cherry on the cake. She left treats for us girls and our four legged friend, such a lovely touch. It’s close to some great walks and lovely pubs, Sarah was so helpful with recommendations, can highly recommend the Nelson Inn, the food is delicious. A great stay, we’ll definitely be back.

We stayed 2 nights at Honeybee Lodge. The lodge was easy to find. Check-in was simple. The Lodge is on a quiet park with 2 fantastic restaurants close by. Everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable was available. There's plenty of space for 4 and I'm sure that when the weather is better that the decking area would be a superb spot for evening dining. The hot tub was clean and ready to use. A great base for exploring York and the surrounding areas.
