The beautiful fells of the Lake District are just over an hour’s drive west and to the east, guests will find the fabulous beaches and coastline of Whitby and Saltburn-by-the-Sea. With so much to see and do guests are sure to return many times.
A gentle reminder to guests with children that the cottage neighbours a working farm and although lovely to watch the animals in the fields, care must be taken with children at busier times of the year as tractors and farm machinery go about their business. Please be advised that Wi-Fi is available, however usage is limited to general browsing only.

Wonderful Christmas break in beautiful surroundings.
Wonderful Christmas break in beautiful surroundings. Very warm welcome from friendly owners. The property was warm and cozy on arrival and throughout our stay. The owners had even put a Christmas tree up for us. Kitchen was fully equipped and we had everything we needed. Hot tub was fabulous and relaxing. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending Ervine Cottage and would love to return again.Thank you so much for your hospitality Barbara and Dave.
