Situated in an elevated position on the edge of North York Moors National Park, yet within easy reach of Scarborough; Basin Howe Farm Cottages comprise a small development of two barns forming four cottages arranged around a parterre to provide holiday accommodation of a superior standard. The property is on the edge of Troutsdale and Dalby Forest and is surrounded by tranquil farmland with a splendid outlook over the Wolds. Opened in 2011 each barn has been individually styled, architecturally designed and benefits from beautiful character features such as exposed stonework, solid oak beams and oak flooring married together with modern conveniences. Amber Cottage has also been designated as suitable for occasional wheelchair users by VisitBritain. All cottages have comfortable sofas and comfortable beds.
Guests have access to two acres of communal gardens, including a tranquil mature rose garden. The owners are happy to provide stabling for horses on site (to be arranged directly) and secure storage for bicycles. The area is perfect for horse riders or cyclists to ride straight out with miles of bridleways and cycle routes to explore in and around the North York Moors and an excellent area for bird watching.
For those who enjoy fine dining, The Anvil is the nearest restaurant, located in the village of Sawdon serving an excellent menu and hearty Sunday roasts (booking in advance is essential).

This was a brilliant cottage for my husband and I and suited all my mobility limitations admirably. The wet room was a godsend, no uneven floors and door entries for me to trip over. Hope to visit again. The owners were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us.
Well presented property in an idyllic location.
It was very clean and had everything we required. The owners were lovely and we felt that if we had any problems (which we didn't) that they would have been sorted out promptly. There was plenty of space for the children to go off and explore safely. Fantastic location and very relaxing. Plenty to do in the surrounding area. Would visit again.
