“Great location a stones throw from the moors,nice comfy cottage.”

Easy to get out and about and only a short walk to the pub which did excellent food with friendly and helpful staff.

“We had a great week in Harvest Cottage.”

It is a very sweet cottage with everything you need for a break away. We were given a lovely welcome by Heather and nothing was too much trouble. The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable and clean. We have been to many cottages around the UK with our dog and this is definitely one of the best. Levisham is a lovely village with a fabulous pub (The Horseshoe Inn) but make sure you book beforehand, they get very busy (especially at Sunday lunchtime). Lots of great places to explore in the area and the North York Moors Railway is wonderful.

“The cottage was amazing comfortable homely and clean.”

Lovely village and the couple were very nice some lovely home made cakes that was an added bonus. The facility’s were fantastic. I would recommend the cottage to anyone. Keep up the good work.

“Lovely home from home”

We have just left Harvest Cottage after a great week long stay. The cottage is on a working farm in a lovely, peaceful village. It is reached by a rather fun road, and there is no through traffic which keeps it quiet. We were welcomed by Heather on arrival and there were nice homemade cakes which was a lovely touch. The cottage is perfect for two, and we had our small dog with us. It is well equipped throughout. This includes the kitchen, which is great if you want to cook your own meals whilst you are there. If not, it’s a very short stroll to the Horseshoe Inn. (Suggest booking). There is also a shared secure garden to sit in, or let your dog(s) have a run around. There are lots of lovely walks in the area (our favourite was to Horcum Hole) and it’s so easy to get to other areas of the North Yorkshire Moors and coast. No village shop, so bring what you need or take the short drive to Pickering. We would highly recommend a stay here.

“Heather gave a wonderful welcome with a personal touch of giving us home made cakes on arrival, this gave a more personal start to the holiday.”

The cottage was clean, comfortable and we'll equipped. The welcome for both us and the dogs in the Horseshoe Inn was very friendly and the food was amazing. We had wonderful different walks on the Moors each day in the most glorious settings. Our whole holiday experience was amazing and we will be back again.

Mr Hill April 2019

“Co-owner Heather was a font of local knowledge, re nearby walks etc.”

The cottage is in a lovely area, with a nearby very scenic deep wooded valley. Such a relaxing break!

Ms Grant February 2019

“A beautiful, clean, well equipped little cottage and a warm, friendly Yorkshire welcome; we arrived to a tea tray set with delicious home baking.”

The village, like the cottage, is immaculate and the pub serves great food and a range of beers and wines in a traditional, homely environment. There are numerous walks around the area, for every ability and it’s not far to the coast to visit Whitby. Heather, the owner, is cheerful and friendly and we felt that nothing would have been too much trouble if we’d asked, but we didn’t have to because it was already perfect! We highly recommend this cottage; a home from home and a haven of calm and tranquility in one of Britain’s most beautiful areas.

“Cosy, well equipped lovely cottage.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our two day stay at Harvest Cottage. The cottage is tastefully decorated, cosy and never felt cold. It was amazingly well equipped beyond what we expected. To find it had working Wi-fi was a pleasant bonus. The surrounding area is peaceful. For a short get away it's perfect.

“Levisham was a great location for us, lots of walks for the dogs and not too far to travel to near by walks too.”

There's only a pub in the village and it's very nice and food is great and not too costly either.

“Lovely pet friendly cottage in a perfect Yorkshire village”

We spent a week in the lovely village of Levisham in January 2017 with our medium sized dog, Bert and Harvest Cottage was excellent. Heather was the perfect host and had made us some biscuits on arrival. Harvest cottage is perfect for a couple and their dog/dogs. There is ample off street parking and a garden to let your dog out into. The cottage is suitably equipped to stay for more than a week and was very snug and warm when the snow was falling outside.The area is lovely and quiet and perfect view of the stars - in other words, lovely for getting away from life and walking on the moors, that start at the end of the road. Hope to see you again soon.

- graham h, January 2017
Mrs Smith November 2016

“I think it would be a good idea to include a single easy chair in addition to the double seated settee in the lounge as the settee was rather small.”

Apart from this it was a well appointed cosy cottage, always warm and in a super location.

About the location

LEVISHAM

Pickering 6 miles; Whitby 17 miles; York 32 miles.

The tiny, picturesque village of Levisham sits high on the Yorkshire Moors, to the north of Pickering. The village is made up of a cluster of farms, attractive neat stone cottages with pretty gardens, and a village green. There is a pub and church in the village, with further amenities in Pickering. Levisham Beck, which rises in the nearby Hole of Horcum (where the devil is said to have fallen to earth) flows along a steep wooded valley near the village, and at its foot there is a water mill and small waterfall. The area is a maze of tracks and footpaths with some stunning scenery. The nearby Levisham station (in Newtondale) is a stopping point on the North York Moors Steam Railway, beyond which lies Cropton Forest. The area is conveniently located for visiting castles, and historic houses, touring moorland villages and exploring the many fishing communities along the coast, including popular Whitby.
