“We had a lovely holiday, the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog with numerous walks straight from the cottage.”

The weather was marvellous, a real bonus as this was our first holiday since the start of the pandemic. The spiral staircase was initially a problem for our big old dog, but she did eventually get used to it. If you have a dog and like walking, then this is a perfect cottage in a lovely location, with the bonus of steam trains passing at the bottom of the garden.

“This is a well appointed and interesting cottage constructed from a barn.”

The quirky upside down layout gives a feeling of spaceousness, the heating system works well and the setting beside the heritage railway among sheep filled fields is very relaxing. Only small downside is a lack of a dishwasher especially during Covid restrictions which prevent eating out in the locality.

Mrs Buckley April 2021

“Our second visit to Orchard Cottage, it is beautiful with lots of little touches that make it cosy and feel homely.”

Even though it's been two years since we last visited, the cottage looks exactly the same. It's exceptionally maintained and the hosts are warm, friendly and helpful. We already have two future bookings and I can't recommend this accommodation enough, we can't wait to return!

- Mrs Buckley, April 2021
Miss Burnage December 2020

“Just returned from our second stay at Orchard cottage.”

Very comfortable and cosy cottage with fantastic views. It's always very clean and well maintained. The owners are unobtrusive but are extremely helpful if needed. We wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting the area and will be back.

- Miss Burnage, December 2020
Mr Thompson October 2020

“Superb hosts, fantastic location, beautiful cozy property whatever the weather, it really is a fantastic place to stay.”

The surroundings can't be faulted and with the majority of the track/path between Goathland itself and the property now gravelled, even for those who aren't keen walkers, it's a very accessible route into the village on foot. Certainly a 'stay again' property, fantastic.

- Mr Thompson, October 2020
Mr Wilder September 2020

“Lovely...”

. and so unique. An ideal base for walking and drives across the moors and having the railway so close was a real bonus!

- Mr Wilder, September 2020
Mrs Hooper July 2020

“Fantastic location - convenient pubs and excellent walking right from doorstop but also close to A169 so easy to get to coastal walks and beaches as well.”

Superb facilities and appliances at property and decorated with careful attention to detail.

“Only one downside?.”

This orchard cottage is in an absolute stunning location ,owners are very friendly but not intrusive, steam trains passing near to cottage which is great to see,your own big private garden to relax in (if you get the right weather),very good walks in all directions from the door especially the lane that takes you into goathland which brings you out next to the adensfield pub (heartbeat).Inside the cottage is just the best,very clean,well maintained ,very comfortable and warm with great views over the countryside .we had the best uninterrupted nights sleep in years as its so peaceful .only downside we should have stayed two weeks instead of one.Thank you to the owners for the wine,cake,biscuits etc. John & julie.

Mr Coulson October 2019

“We have stayed at Orchard several times over the years, it is an excellent cottage, its location is stunning , with fantastic walks from the doorstep, and is located within easy driving distance of Whitby, Scarborough, and Pickering, and on top of all that you have the NYMR Steam Railway at the bottom of the garden.”

The cottage is very clean warm, well maintained, and the owners are very kind and helpful.

- Mr Coulson, October 2019
Mrs Greatorex September 2019

“Orchard cottage was excellent.”

Everything to make a lovely holiday,even the weather was kind to us.And with the steam railway at the bottom of the garden,we could'nt have asked for anything better. Thanks to John And Lynn for being friendly hosts.

Mrs Nanson August 2019

“Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.”

Half hour walk to pubs and shops and perfect anyone who loves trains as the train passes the bottom of the garden. Will definitely be back to orchard cottage

- Mrs Nanson, August 2019
Mrs Birch August 2019

“A washing machine would have been useful as we enjoy bike riding and walking and it was more difficult to handwash items.”

Overall Orchard cottage was a great place to stay.

- Mrs Birch, August 2019
Mr Kingston July 2019

“A beautiful, cosy cottage in a peaceful and relaxing location.”

The only thing we could have done with was champagne glasses and some tongs for when we cooked breakfast but a very minor thing. An added bonus for us was watching the steam trains pass the cottage.

- Mr Kingston, July 2019
Mr Thraves June 2019

“Wonderful and quite unique conversion of an old barn.”

It’s quite an achievement to provide the this combination of style and comfort in a building of this age. Lacks the odd modern comfort like dishwasher but it’s a minor factor all in all because there are so many opportunities to eat out nearby. Location is exceptional for walkers, steam train enthusiasts or even Heatbeat fans. So much to see and do and only 10 miles to the coast. A thoroughly enjoyable week.

- Mr Thraves, June 2019

“Perfect for train enthusiasts!!”

We have been coming here for years and are never disappointed. The cottage is always spotlessly clean and is very quirky. The owners leave little treats for your arrival and these are very welcome after a long drive. The cottage is great to watch the NYMR from as the line runs along the bottom of the garden. Great base for visiting Whitby, Pickering and the local villages of Goathland and Grosmont. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Mrs Buckley April 2019

“Idyllic, tranquil and beautiful.”

The perfect location to take in the stunning views and a stones throw from Whitby if you fancy a day out. The passing steam trains were an added bonus, it was incredible and we didn't want to come home!

- Mrs Buckley, April 2019
Miss Barron April 2019

“We have been here a few times now and it never disappoints.”

The cottage is quirky, comfortable and is always spotlessly clean. Great to watch the NYMR go past at the bottom of the garden.

- Miss Barron, April 2019
Mr Cliff April 2019

“Our fourth visit to Sadler House barns, and our third in Orchard Cottage.”

New owners have made some subtle, sympathetic changes which have added to the charm and character of the cottage. For us, Orchard Cottage is our perfect home from home.

Sadler House Farm Cottages

These two superb stone barn conversions are peacefully nestled in the beautiful countryside of the North York Moors, 1.5 miles from the charming village of Goathland. Featuring in The Runaways film, these two extraordinary cottages offer a wonderful history and a warm and welcoming holiday base at any time of year. Sympathetically converted, these characterful Goathland cottages are ideal for families and friends to get together and explore the idyllic scenery on the doorstep, and are just a few minutes’ drive of the historic port of Whitby. Both cottages offer spacious living areas, with high pitched ceilings, exposed timbers and stonework. Finished to a high standard, these Goathland cottages boast central heating (underfloor downstairs in The Long Barn), with The Long Barn also providing two cosy woodburners. Several acres of communal grounds surround these delightful properties, with gated access over a stream and stunning views overlooking the steam railway, sheep pasture and moorland. A walker's haven, there are numerous public footpaths and trails to follow, whilst a lovely walk brings you into Goathland, otherwise known as Aidensfield from Heartbeat! Here, there are traditional tea rooms, several local inns serving food and the local village shop. Enjoy a walk down to the Mallyan Spout waterfall or follow the rail trail to Grosmont, from where one can return by steam train. An outing on the steam train from Goathland is a trip back in time as it winds its way through the moors to the delightful market town of Pickering or Whitby. Whitby offers many attractions, with its famous abbey, long, sandy beaches and narrow, cobbled streets. Guests are spoilt for choice with the numerous restaurants, coffee shops, independent shops and museums in this quaint town, as well as its charming harbour and renowned fish and chips. Two well-placed barns for a wonderful holiday all year round.

About the location

GOATHLAND

Whitby 9 miles.

The idyllic village of Goathland is set on the north eastern edge of the North York Moors National Park. It is surrounded by the rugged open moorlands which provide excellent walking country and on which sheep graze freely. The village has been popularised by the television programme Heartbeat. At the bottom of the village lies the station for the famous North York Moors Steam Railway. Here you can catch a train to Whitby or Pickering and relax as the train winds its way through the moors. Goathland is within easy reach of the East Coast towns of Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough, making it a great holiday base.
