Chestnut Barn

Whitby 3.4 miles.

Chestnut Barn sits in the peaceful village of Aislaby, offering a relaxed and welcoming retreat for families or friends eager to enjoy the best of North Yorkshire.

With its gentle countryside setting and easy reach of the coast, it’s the sort of place where you can slow the pace, stretch your legs on bracing walks, and return to a traditional comfy home at the end of the day.

Step inside to find a thoughtfully arranged interior, beginning with a bright kitchen/living room that has everything you need for simple holiday cooking and long, easy mornings.

The underfloor heating downstairs will keep you cosy all year round while the wood burning stove will warm you on cold winter evenings.

A separate dining room gives you space to gather properly over a good meal or plan the next day’s adventures.

For anyone who prefers to keep stairs to a minimum, there is an accessible bedroom with a king size bed and a generously sized ‘Jack & Jill’ style wet room.

Upstairs, the barn provides two further bedrooms: a double, and an especially versatile family room with both a double and a single bed, ideal for different group makeups.

A well-presented bathroom with both a bath and walk-in shower rounds things off, giving you somewhere to unwind after exploring windswept moorland or the rugged coastline.

Outside, off-road parking makes arrivals straightforward, and from the door you can join local footpaths that weave through rolling countryside.

The village pub is within easy strolling distance, and Aislaby places you in an excellent spot for exploring.

Whitby, with its atmospheric harbour, Abbey ruins, and famous fish and chips, is easily reached, while Scarborough’s beaches and clifftop walks make a great day out.

The market town of Pickering offers classic Yorkshire charm, as well as the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for a steam-train ride through dramatic landscapes.

History buffs can track down Guisborough Priory or wander the haunting remains of Whitby Abbey, while outdoorsy types will relish the wealth of trails stretching across the moors and along the coastline.

Chestnut Barn delivers a restful base in one of Yorkshire’s most scenic corners, an inviting spot to return to, whatever the season.
