Bike store. Ample parking. No smoking. . This eco-friendly barn conversion is over 200 years old and oozes charm and character, retaining many original features, including exposed stone walls, vaulted beamed ceilings, stone flag flooring and a woodburner. This holiday property is located on a working arable farm and is surrounded by uninterrupted views towards the sea and Whitby in an idyllic rural setting, just 4 miles from the centre of Whitby on the edge of the quaint hamlet of Sneatonthorpe and 1 mile from the village of Sneaton. Sneaton boasts a friendly pub, ice cream parlour, charming tea rooms and a warm welcome from the locals. Bridle paths, cycle tracks and walkways abound from the door, with the ancient Monks Pathway being a favourite with walkers visiting this area. Whitby is a fantastic destination for holidaymakers with the steam train departing throughout the summer on its way to Grosmont and Goathland – those famous villages used in the TV series ‘Heartbeat’. Also, Whitby boasts a colourful harbour, 3 miles of sandy beach, the 12th century Abbey ruins and St Marys Church. The town also hosts many festivals throughout the year with folk weekends, 60’s music festivals and Goth weekends, bringing guests from far and wide. Mortar Barn is the ideal place for exploring both the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and the Heritage Coast of Yorkshire. Scarborough has been welcoming guests for more than 300 years and has all the ingredients for a family packed day at the seaside, with Filey and Bridlington a little further along the coast line. Closer to home, is the smugglers coves of Robin Hood’s Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes, where pretty cottages cling to cliffs and time appears to have stood still. Discover little villages tucked away deep in the valleys as you explore the North Yorkshire’s heather clad moors. Beach 4 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Initial fuel for woodburner included, thereafter available at £5 per basket from owner. Due to rural location Wi-Fi signal maybe limited.
There are steps within the property.

About the area

Whitby

Located in Whitby, this cottage is in a rural area and by the sea.

Superb property
Photos online really don’t do the property justice. Much bigger than expected. Well presented and great for a cosy retreat. Host was amazing and let the kids feed the lambs on the farm. Will definitely be back.

Brilliant!!
A spacious, well supplied, clean and very inviting property. The views were lovely and I've never stayed in accommodation that was so peaceful. Our youngest party member (4) virtually demanded that her father buy the cottage so they could live there!

Simply stunning, very enjoyable from beginning to end. Children had a wonderful time and were thrilled to be invited by owners Louis and Becky for evening visits to the lambing shed to help feed newborns.

Despite rain, snow and hail over the New Year, we had a brilliant holiday on our 2nd visit to Mortar Barn. Becky is incredibly helpful and friendly, and she even arranged for the kids to be able to feed one of of their lambs which they loved. We would thoroughly recommend this location to anyone.

Excellent weeks stay.
Excellent weeks stay. Welcoming and pleasant host’s with a property they should be proud of. We were only two couples so had lots of space in a property designed to sleep 8 but even 8 would enjoy the openness of the build. Sorry for docking you a point on equipment but we couldn’t find egg cup's. I guess I could have asked though. I have been taking holidays like this for many years and once managed a portfolio of properties in Fowey Cornwall. Mortar Barn would be in my top 5. Well done folks. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Although the Barn is close to Whitby it is still a drive away, that however, does not detract from the experience of the location. This is a wonderful holiday spot, the barn itself is large, well furnished, well equipped & good value for money. Would highly recommend if your looking for some peace & quiet.

We stayed at Mortar Barn as a last minute trip due to our holiday to Spain being cancelled.
We stayed at Mortar Barn as a last minute trip due to our holiday to Spain being cancelled. The barn is immaculate and spacious. Becky and Louis have thought of everything. There is everything and more in the kitchen that you need, travel cot and mattress for a baby, even a baby gate and puppy pen if needed. We were blown away with the 2 fresh bouquets of flowers in the barn on our arrival as well as the basket of treats left for us too. The view of Whitby from the barn is stunning and Becky even let our son go see her farm animals while we were there. My only slight negative is that the gate around the garden is very open, and therefore wasn't secure enough to let our dogs out without a lead but we obviously managed! Everything was wonderful and we will definitely come back. Only suggestion to make it even better, would be a hot tub outside the living room doors overlooking Whitby  Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Stayed for a long weekend recently with my family - five adults, four children and a dog in total. All of us were so impressed by the stunning accommodation, views and little added touches such as fresh flowers. The accommodation is modern and spotless but also has a homely feel. Ample space for us all and we cannot wait to come back! Owners are very friendly and welcoming they spent time to talk to the children about the animals. Worth every penny. Only small criticism is the garden had metal fencing with gaps around but our dog is very young and therefore not as obedient so for us a more secure boundary would have been better cannot fault anything else though!
