    A beautiful cottage with stunning views across the fields. The only noise is the sound of the excitable pigs and birds! The property was well maintained and had every thing you could possibly need. The owners couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome. We had a fantastic break.

  • "Sawdon Heights is truly a wonderful place to stay."

    Its rural location means it is a peaceful place for relaxing, with plenty of birdlife to enjoy, but it also has many places of interest nearby, including Scarborough, Bempton Cliffs, and Dalby Forest. Its owners are very welcoming and helpful, and the cottage itself is delightful and equipped with everything we needed.

  • "Wonderful place!"

    We arrived a few days late due to unforeseen circumstances but Sue (owner) was amazing! She greeted us on arrival, which was quite late, had put the kettle on, supplied cupcakes, chocolates, tea, coffee and a bottle of wine. The cottage is stunning! Wonderfully big comfortable rooms, cozy and homely. Beautiful views and so peaceful. A short drive away from local amenities and attractions. The owners were both accommodating and super friendly. My elderly father and daughter were introduced to the pigs on the farm and we were all made to feel at welcomed and at home. Highly recommend Sawdon Heights if you’re looking for peace, quiet and comfort. We will definitely look at going back in the future. Thank you!

  • "This was by far the nicest cottage we have stayed in and surprisingly spacious."

    If you want a peaceful break in a beautiful setting then look no further as it’s in the middle of the countryside yet a stone throw away from Scarborough. I don’t have anything bad to say about the property at all, it was beautiful. The owners were such a lovely couple who greeted us when we arrived and also made a point of coming to say goodbye and check in on us before we vacated the property. They had even left us cakes, wine, chocolates and milk which was such a lovely personal touch. If we ever come back to Yorkshire then we will definitely be returning to this property as it was perfect in every way.

    !! Comfort and facilities are very well catered for. A beautiful, peaceful setting - yet still within reach of places to visit. Would advise you to take walking shoes/boots as the cottage is set right in the country side with plenty of lanes to stroll around. I recommend this holiday cottage to anyone and would be very surprised if they did not enjoy it !!!!

Beds were very comfortable and a good night sleep was had by us all. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Felt help would have been always at hand if and when required from a very friendly Sue. It was so quiet with only the song birds to break the silence. We enjoyed the daily visit from a male partridge who seemed check that all was well by looking through the window in the evenings. Lovely, peaceful stay and would certainly return.

  • "This cottage is well equipped, plenty of crockery and cutlery."

    Seating is good and dining space is too. Could not open the French doors - there was no key. Easy to control the heating - just turn the thermostat off if you don't want heat - as I did. Upstairs and downstairs are controlled separately. Owners are welcoming and friendly and helpful. I do, however, think it would be a good idea to inform potential holidaymakers that the property is some distance from the main road (2+ miles I would think) and then a long, long farm track which has a lot of potholes and could potentially damage any car that is, like mine, somewhat 'low slung!!' Luckily we hadn't used it for this break.

    Although it is on a farm, there is very little farm noise as the cottage is well away from any work areas. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are very comfortable and at night it is totally dark and utterly silent. Best nights sleep I've had in ages. The heating is great and the hot water is plentiful. It wasn't warm enough to sit out, there's a lovely secluded patio with fantastic views that would be brilliant in the summer evenings. Will definitely go again.Highly recommend.

The property

This semi-detached cottage is linked with the owner's farmhouse in the small village of Sawdon, close to both Scarborough and Pickering.

Beautifully designed, your heart-warming retreat lies in a rural destination, laced in countryside views where the tranquil atmosphere follows you from room to room.

Be welcomed by a lovely hallway, this divides off into a country cottage kitchen with its very own range cooker and homely fittings.

There is a wonderful lounge/diner to be enjoyed morning across to evening, home to a collection of seating, with french doors opening up to the rear patio, bringing the panoramic views even closer.

On a sunny day, choose from one of the books available, and simply relax outdoors away from it all.

Two bedrooms lie on the first floor each elevated by an en-suite bathroom, whilst an additional room lies on the ground floor neighbored by a walk-in shower.

Effortlessly styled with a range of furnishings and accessories, the layouts also benefit from dual aspect windows, and peaceful scenery which you can wake up to every morning.

Sawdon has a pub called The Anvil, and walks can be enjoyed from the village.

Close by is Brompton-by-Sawdon, which is a delightful country village on the edge of the Forge Valley, an area of outstanding countryside.

This wonderfully scenic location, with its stone-built cottages is ideally placed for discovering the attractions, and the entire location is somewhat of a walker’s heaven.

A little further afield the historic market town of Malton offers quaint shopping streets, a home away from home for you and your loved ones.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.
