“Fab holiday let, lovely hosts and great location”
We had a lovely relaxing weekend at Hartswood East and I would highly recommend a stay here.
The holiday let had a lovely home from home feel and was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi was fab and we all had great fun in there - the kids enjoyed it that much we couldn't get them out and they spent hours in there! The pool was warm and clean with good changing facilities and there was a nice seating area to relax in too. The property was spotless throughout and well looked after.
Ideally you need a car here because of the location but, that said the property is well placed. Within a short drive you can be in the countryside, the city of York, the market towns of Pickering and Malton or on the coast in Scarborough. Whitby is also within reach, as is Dalby Forest where you can visit Go Ape (a treetop adventure course), ride a Segway or hire a bike and follow the forest trails. There is something for everyone within reach.
The hosts were lovely, attentive and on hand if you needed them but not at all intrusive. Rosie's homemade welcome cakes were delicious! We had a lovely weekend here and really look forward to returning soon. I highly recommend a stay here.
Hartswood Farm Cottages
Malton 8 miles. Situated near the small hamlet of East Knapton, surrounded by open, working countryside, these four properties, including two lovely apartments, a ground-floor open plan barn conversion, and a delightful wing of a former farmstead are set within the owner’s large property and grounds. Ideally located, these Malton cottages are close to many attractions in the area, including stately homes, gardens and the seaside towns of Filey and Scarborough. Both of the apartments provide inviting first-floor accommodation, with bright and comfortable sitting rooms and modern bathrooms and kitchens, whilst the former farmstead cottage boasts period features, such as beamed ceilings, parquet floors, original fireplaces and a woodburning stove. The ground-floor open-plan cowshed is a lovely romantic retreat, with all you need in one place beneath delightful exposed beams, with views of the ponies and goats in the fields to wake up to. Tastefully furnished and decorated, these four properties near Malton have shared access to a fabulous heated indoor swimming pool with a Jacuzzi, changing rooms and comfortable seating. Outside the two apartments each enjoy their own private patio, the cowshed has a lovely fenced seating area, whilst all four holiday homes have access to communal lawns, with rural views towards Dalby Forest and the Vale of Pickering. The pretty market town of Malton offers a cobbled market square, independent shops and an array of tea rooms and pubs, whilst nearby Pickering has a castle, museums and is the terminus of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway; well worth a nostalgic trip through spectacular moorland scenery.

A weekly general market is still held in the town, as well as livestock and farmers’ markets. The Yorkshire Moors are to the north, and the Yorkshire Wolds are to the south, making it excellent countryside for walkers and cyclists. The impressive coastline is just 24 miles away, whilst the historic city of York is an 18 mile journey. A perfect base for touring the attractions of North Yorkshire.
