  • "This is the 2nd time we have stayed here as its a fantastic location, close too everywhere you want to go ."

    The outside space is also excellent for the dog and kids to play . Accommodation is adequate for a week . Only downside being a couch that is too deep to allow you to sit comfortably, the cow shed has new ownership hopefully they will do something about this as I had to sit up in bed to read a book rather than use the lounge. Not being able to sit comfortably in the evenings is a must especially us over 50s.

  • "Great spot just 5 mins from Robin Hood bay and 10 mins into Whitby."

    The cowshed is petite and rustic, in a great way! All essentials you need, access to 2 large fields which our boys loved (aged 7 and 9), and our dog. We were blessed with sunny weather all week so ate outside every day, I’d expect it to feel a little cramped if you had to cook and eat inside every day, but certainly manageable. Bedding, toilet, living area were all clean and well kept. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet base to explore the area.

  • "The only negative was the outside rattan garden furniture it was in really bad condition, holes in it and the cushions were not good, but on the afternoon before we left it was replaced, pity it was so late in our stay, apart from that everything else was wonderful."

  • "We stayed in The Cow Shed 2-9 May 2025, the most amazing place and the perfect place for relaxing, peace and outstanding views."

    The Cow Shed itself combines old with modern facilities such as heating and general items provided. The 2 enclosed fields were perfect for our dogs. Although wonderfully private, just a short drive to Whitby, other lovely destinations and local to all sorts of restaurants and take aways. The owners provided a detailed guide book on everything that we needed to know and visit. I can only give positive feedback regarding this most beautiful accommodation, it’s simply perfect and so well looked after and impeccably decorated. We look forward to visiting again. It was a wonderful find Thank you Alex and Kerry From Steve and Judy Moule

  • "We have enjoyed our stay at the Cowshed."

    It has many interesting features. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed very comfortable. Lovely views overlooking Whitby and excellent parking. Though very dog friendly we couldn't open the doors without tying our dogs up as they could access the road. We could walk them in the adjacent fields though.

  • "Lovely rustic cottage, very clean and comfortable."

    Dog friendly and you have access to a padlock and small field. The cinder track (old railway line Whitby to Rogin Hood's Bay) is a 5 min drive to Hawsker - good clean walking. Note: Only hand towels provided, you need to bring bath towels. We only spotted this the day before our holiday.
