Perfect!
We stayed for 3 nights and loved every moment of our stay. The cottage has absolutely everything you could need and comfortably accommodated 9 adults and 5 children. We were blessed with sunshine so we got to enjoy the stunning garden, watching the children play in the stream. Absolutely perfect weekend.

Spacious, clean, well equipped property in great grounds (complete with resident ducks and a roe deer one morning). Good location for just strolling to the village or walking to Whitby along the Cinder Track or via the railway. Azmat was responsive.

Had a lovely time,host thought of absolutely everything
Cottage and surrounding grounds were wonderful. Ho wever on our booking it said there was a hot tub so we booked expecting a hot tub. Turns out there wasn't one. Had we known that we would have booked in Whitby itself rather than the outskirts, Host was apologetic and website has been rectified, We had a lovely stay,just not the one we were hoping for

Amazing visit from beginning to end!!
From the moment we came down the hill and saw Larpool Mill, we knew we were in for an absolute treat. This amazing building is just beautiful - from the location and outdoor facilities, to the extensive rooms, en suite bathrooms, fantastic kitchen with everything you could ever need provided for you and more. Plus a welcome basket with wine, cake, biscuits etc and some milk in the fridge. I could go on and on ….. The owner, Azmat, is also charming beyond words. We have had a fantastic family weekend and made some beautiful memories. Thank you, Ann Youell and family xx

The description does not do it justice; from getting there and walking in the door, the thought that has clearly gone into this place is truely outstanding and a credit to the team that put it together. We had a fantastic long weekend for a major family birthday. Very comprehensively catered for kitchen and lovely Welcome pack. Just dont forget to feed the ducks.

What a wonderful house. It is like a 5 star hotel but homely and welcoming. The kitchen is better equipped than most professional ones. I could not fault this house and the lovely welcome pack that the host left us…i could not recommend Larpool Mill highly enough. Worth every single penny.

4 Night Break - 9 adults
Well where do I start! You won’t be disappointed if you book this property as the owner as thought of absolutely everything. The location is to ‘die for’ and set in stunning gardens with your own private visiting Ducks, Chicks and even a Swan in the stream that runs through the garden! The accommodation is well equipped, spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated to a high standard. We were a party of 9 visiting the area to horse ride. Whitby is close to hand as well as lots of other places. I would certainly book again if we were to visit the area in the future.

Excellent property in lovely setting
Very comfortable, clean and well presented inside and out. Well kitted out and even provided basic supplies such as tea, coffee, sugar etc. Lovely welcome pack and nothing missed in the kitchen. With en suite to every bedroom it is an ideal place for several couples to stay without encroaching on each other. We highly recommend this property.

What makes this property unique

Still close to the sea Larpool Mill is set in 3/4 acre grounds surrounded by woodland, a haven for wildlife. You enjoy the best of country and coastal life and a great base to explore North Yorkshire. Just up the lane you can join the Cinder Track which follows the route of the old Scarborough- Whitby line and the route today provides 21 miles of fascinating coast and countryside to explore.
