“Lovely cosy cottage, for us though a little too small.”

Nice village with pub(s) and relatively good stocked Co-op (open almost all hours). Easy access to numerous walks on the moors and surrounding.

“Wonderful, cozy, well equipped and tastefully decorated cottage.”

Super comfy beds and even a small outdoor space. Great location for exploring the North moors, the village has two great pubs and a well stocked Co-op. I would highly recommend Michaelmas cottage for a cozy getaway!

“When leaving the property I stripped the bed.”

The pillow and mattress protectors were badly stained (not by us!). Very disappointing as the cleaner lady was outside and when I mentioned it she said she had noticed it when she made the bed up for our arrival!

- Leroy, July 2023

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Property Owner

“This is a delightful cottage , cosy , warm and characterful .”

It has been renovated and maintained to a high standard and the decor and furnishings very much suit the property . Everything that we needed was there plus a lot more besides . It is homely and comfortable and we were very sad when our stay was over . The property is well positioned to visit other lovely towns villages and various attractions. We would love to return .

- Robert, March 2023

Thank you so much for the great feedback Robert. We look forward to seeing you again!! Property Owner
Gail September 2022

“Lovely cottage in a very good location, all the places you need to visit are easily accessible, very good.”

- Gail, September 2022
Sue September 2022

“Lovely cottage - great location (loads of walks from the door), very comfortable and very well equipped for the size.”

Only comment, you need to make sure at the kitchen window can be opened - otherwise the kitchen is going to deteriorate very quickly with damp, which would be real shame. Also could have some information on more local amenities - the mobile fish and chip van (arrived Tues & Fri evening just at the top of the street) and the cafe in Botton Village (Camphill Community) made a good walk.

“A beautifully presented cottage with everything you might need, such attention to detail.”

A very picturesque location and so peaceful with many lovely walks without having to go far.

- Anne, August 2022
Peter July 2022

“Very compact, but beautifully finished and presented.”

We had no complaints about its cleanliness when we arrived but when we did our farewell clean through there were a couple of points that made us wonder whether the cleaner is assiduous as should be, so marked it down a bit. It's so easy to clean it would be tempting to skimp. It was a warm week, without being brilliantly sunny like most of England. Nevertheless the central heating, which was programmed to be on, made the cottage too warm at night and we turned it off. The cottage info sheet correctly informs bin collection is on Monday, but the blue recycling bin was not collected that day. When is it collected? This should be added to info.

- Peter, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cottage. We now have a new cleaner for the property. Regarding your comment about the bins, the blue bin and green bin collections alternate weekly, but following your feedback we will add some more information explaining this. We hope to see you again soon Property Owner

“This is a beautiful cottage for a couple.”

It has been lovingly restored by the owners who provided slippers for us to use indoors. The location is in a picturesque part of the Yorkshire Moors and is a great base to explore further afield.

“The cottage was perfect and decorated very tastefully.”

We had a bottle of wine and biscuits left for us , a thoughtful touch. It was situated in the lovely village of Castleton with great walks only a short drive away. There was a lovely neighbour . He was very knowledgable about the area and gave lots of useful information.

The property

Located in the North York Moors National Park, this traditional stone-built cottage is tucked away in an idyllic village in North Yorkshire.

The conveniences of town are within easy reach of Michaelmass Cottage.

If you're a couple seeking a peaceful retreat, this is the place for you.

Park-up directly outside the property, before unloading your bags and beginning your holiday. There are shutters on the windows of the beamed sitting room, which includes a dining area.

It's lovely and inviting, with a wood-burning stove and a Smart TV so you can curl up on the sofa and watch your favourite show.

The galley-style kitchen features an electric oven and hob, microwave, perfect for whipping up delicious meals, along with a dishwasher to keep your space tidy. There are two well-appointed bedrooms in this home.

The larger room houses a double bed with chest of drawers, feature wall and a fireplace.

To the rear of the property, you will find a snug single bedroom. Outside, there is a secluded area where you can enjoy a glass of wine and some quiet time.

Adjacent to Michaelmass Cottage, you will find the ‘old man’s park’, with glorious views overlooking Danby Dale.

Sheep love to graze nearby so you may have to share your viewing spot! It's a joy to explore the village and its surroundings.

Local brews and locally sourced food can be sampled at a variety of pubs and traditional inns.

A pub lunch is the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring your exceptional surroundings.

Right next to the station, you'll find the charming Eskdale Restaurant, which serves tasty fare and fine wines.

The Down Arms, located just around the corner, offers hearty pub fare and a welcoming atmosphere in addition to traditional pub fare. If you're looking for basic supplies, logs, or sticks, there's a Co-op around the corner and up the High Street.

Along the High Street you will also find a lovely tearoom, where you can sample a sweet treat!

The nearby villages and the historic fishing port of Whitby can easily be reached by train for memorable day trips. Castleton is a great starting point for hikers because of its proximity to The Esk Valley Walk.

Long-distance walkers can break it up into five stages and take the train or their car along for the ride.

You can find all the information you need in the cottage.

Danby Lodge and The Moors National Park Centre is located nearby and provides information on a wide range of attractions and destinations.

The staff are very accommodating.

From there, you can take a number of scenic walks.

If you need help, just ask the friendly staff at the visitor centre.

Be sure to pick up a souvenir from their gift shop to remember your trip by.
