Four cottages formed from historic farm buildings, set in open countryside with unique stunning views over the North York Moors National Park and Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Our cottages are surrounded by farmland and open countryside – hidden away down a private road, with stunning views over the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the North York Moors National Park. Feel away from it all in our tranquil setting but close enough to walk into the bustling dog friendly market town of Helmsley where you will find a castle, walled garden, heated outdoor swimming pool (seasonal) and the National Centre for Birds of Prey.

Individual cottages sleep either 4 or 5 guests (2 or 3 bedrooms), have been recently updated and include log burners. All cottages (apart from Ryedale) welcome dogs. Dogs love our enclosed exercise paddock and relaxing in front of the log burners after a busy day walking the moors, dales, and forest trails or stretching their paws at North Yorkshire's heritage coastline. We are a great base for exploring the best of the North York Moors National Park, The Yorkshire Dales, York and Whitby. Popular with couples and families throughout the year, guests choose our cottages for relaxation and fresh air, for walking and cycling, and for catching up with friends and family. Cottages can be booked as a group for low-key family celebrations and reunions, or individually for a relaxing retreat.

Featuring exposed stone walls, wooden beams and other original features from their time as farm buildings, the cottages offer a cosy and relaxing setting for your holiday. Each cottage offers the comforts of home in a beautiful location, including a log burner.  All our cottages have outdoor seating in the courtyard garden, plus access to a large lawn and picnic tables.  We have an outdoor table tennis table in the warmer months.  

Our enclosed dog exercise paddock is perfect for dogs to run free.  Relax on the paddock seating and admire the view whilst tiring your dogs out off the lead.  Dog owners love the large space and the freedom it provides; dogs are less keen on our dog shower.  The outdoor shower is also perfect for muddy bicycles and boots.  Sproxton Hall Cottages are surrounded by actively farmed land (you might see belted galloway cows, hens and sheep), plus the local wood is home to deer, pheasants, and at least one barn owl.

Guests love to ramble into Helmsley over picturesque fields, go hiking on the Cleveland Way or stroll from the cottages into the AONB and National Park.  Our dark skies setting is perfect for star gazing on a clear night. 

An EV Type 2 plug and go charger is available.

Additional Directions Information

The cottages are located in a tranquil location in open countryside, surrounded by farmland, and with the added benefit of easy access to a range of tourist destinations and sporting activities. Located within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the cottages are perfect for relaxing in a unique historic setting. With countryside walks on the doorstep, the cottage is less than 2 miles from the tourist hot-spot of Helmsley - with its castle, walled gardens, spa hotel facilities, heated outdoor swimming pool in summer, plus numerous independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants (most dog friendly) and a micro-brewery. Helmsley is also the start of the Cleveland Way.

The cottages have on site parking for up to 2 vehicles per cottage.  

There is very limited public transport and you will need a car in order to reach and enjoy our local area.  There are train services to York (mainline from London in about 2.5 hours), Thirsk and Malton (both approx 13 miles away). Car hire can be arranged in advance at York station.  Local taxis can also be booked for nights out in Helmsley but we are only a 1.5 mile drive away.

From the A170 Thirsk to Scarborough road, at the Duncombe Park (arched gate way/sharp corner), turn right for Malton/York.  Sproxton is a few hundred metres from the A170 - you will see a small church.  Turn left immediately after the church and drive through the village.  Keep going past the stone pillars and on to the private road. After a field or two, take the first right on to our drive way. The gate is signposted Sproxton Hall Cottages/ Bransdale Cottage. We are the only property on the right and are just before Sproxton Hall Farm  and the flag pole on the left.  

The cottages are popular with cyclists, runners and walkers - getting around using your own steam means you can see the best of Yorkshire's scenery at your own pace.
