Borrowby is a quiet hamlet located off the beaten track, in an isolated location, with no shop or pub. However, we are located within the North York Moors National Park, overlook the Yorkshire Heritage Coast and are close to the Cleveland Hills. Overall, it’s a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and Sycamore Cottage is a great starting point from which to explore.
The historic towns of Whitby and Guisborough are just 20 minutes’ drive away. Scarborough is about an hour’s drive away and York can be reached within an hour and a half.
For local convenience, there is a pub at Roxby, 5-minute drive/15-minute walk, or a small shop, chip shop, pubs, and a bus stop at Staithes, approximately 10 minutes’ drive away. A fuel station, butchers’ shop and pubs can be found at Hinderwell, a 5-minute drive from Staithes. Beach 2 miles.

This is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in (and that is a lot).

This is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in (and that is a lot). The beds are very comfortable and the cottage was very clean, well equipped and warm. We had a lovely week re-acquainting ourselves with 'God's Own Country' and have fallen in love with the location, as so much to see and do without travelling miles. We particularly liked Sandsend and Whitby (Whitby Scampi and fish and chips at 'Mister Chips' was a highlight), but also driving over the Moors to Pickering, Thornton-le-Dale and Kirkbymoorside. A journey on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is a must - we did several years ago, but never tire of the scenery. The location of the cottage is perhaps a little remote for some, but we love it. The owner, Michelle, is delightful, welcoming and helpful. All in all, a real find - we will be going again as soon as we can and highly recommend.
