Cottage vacation rentals in Cayton Bay

We had such a wonderful stay at Steves place. The setting is beautiful and we were so lucky with the weather. My sister and I stayed with our 4 kids and there was so much outdoor space for them to play and it's great having all the animals around. The house was clean and hot tub nice and hot which you don't always get staying in these places. What really made this place so good was the host. From.the moment we arrived Steve made us feel like he really wanted us to enjoy ourselves and he was so friendly, chilled and helpful throughout our stay. We tried to stay longer but unfortunately it was booked up. We would definitely book again.

Loved it here, a real home from home for us and perfect for exploring both York and further north. We loved the fact it was homely and rural, and the hot tub was a real treat. The only tiny downside was the oven is old and took a while to cook on, but we ate out too so not a massive problem. Just what we were after, thank you!

Me and my group of 4 stayed in Jenson Cottage & we absolutely loved every second! We decided to go here for a late birthday weekend away & York town was about a twenty minute taxi away where we spent Friday evening. The host’s were amazing - we had a minor problem with working the barbecue on our second day as it was our first time and the host came to help us straight away, we also got lost as it’s no where near our local area and the host was able to direct us straight to the location. we have made incredible memories and this lodge is fantastic value and somewhere that we will definitely be coming back.

3 Railway Cottage is a fantastic base to explore the amazing beauty of North Yorkshire. The cottage is located a 20 minute walk from the centre of Pickering but is in a really quiet and private location. The only exception of course is the opportunity to wave at the heritage railway trains that pass at the back of the cottage a few times a day which is really amazing, especially if you wave from the comfort of the hot tub! I can’t recommend this location highly enough, it is a really comfortable and well equipped cottage in a fantastic location - what more could you ask for?

Such a wonderful stay. We had a lovely long weekend in York and Steve and Andrea couldn't have been more perfect. The Lamp Post is a gorgeous place, with a beautiful outdoor space, stunning rooms and a really convenient bus running straight into York right at the bottom of the drive. It really is perfect :) Thank you!

My wife and I visited for the weekend, Gemma was on hand from the moment of booking to leaving, the cottage is beautiful and situated in a small village so very peaceful, Gemma and Andrew have gone above and beyond to make the cottage homely, very modern but also keeping the charm of the 17th century, every item of furnishings fits in beautifully and the extras in the kitchen and bathroom are a lovely, welcome touch, you feel far away from anywhere when either in the hot tub or sitting in the garden, we had a wonderful stay and wouldn't hesitate in highly recommending a stay here.

Wow! What a find! The house is stunningly situated amongst amazing views and surrounded by nature and wildlife. We loved looking out across the hills from the hot tub and playing in the field in front of the house and on the swings down by the pond. The village is in close walking distance even with a 3 year old in tow. The cottage itself feels special with beautiful wooden furniture which I assume comes from the timber farm it’s on. The rooms are spacious yet have that cosy cottage feel. The hosts are friendly, responsive and helpful without being intrusive - they were on hand as and when we needed them. Overall, a wonderful 2 night break was enjoyed and we would love to stay here again!

The cottage was lovely. Well equipped kitchen. Spacious and warm. The real selling point for us though were all of the activities available on site. More than we got value from to be honest and a future stay would be longer. Perfect escape opportunity for a group of families as you have your own space but also plenty of communal areas and lovely grounds. Also not far to Malton. Pretty town and well served by independent shops/cafes as well as supermarkets.

Lovely 1 night stay before a trip to Flamingoland with the family. Great value for money and lovely location. Very homely and cosy and clever use of space.

Another fantastic stay. Really love this place, so handy for great walks, fishing with great shops on your doorstep like the local butchers, bakery, chippys and pet shop. You have to try the cafe, copperfields…it’s amazing!

This beautiful little cottage is very charming and extremely central for the attractions in Pickering. All three bedrooms are decorated tastefully and the bedding and towels are clean, fluffy and comfortable. The cottage has plenty of kitchen appliances and the lounge area is comfortable with a small dining area. The living space quickly warmed up and was very cosy, including a log burner if needed. On our arrival we had a lovely welcoming gift of cake and coffee. Clemmie was a perfect host, providing plenty of information for our arrival and even managed to allow us access slightly earlier which really helped. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

We booked The Nest last minute and Anette was extremely attentive from the start to finish of our stay. The house was exactly as described & was immaculate. Bed was so comfortable & lots of attention to detail! Great location for exploring the local area. Pub right across the road with good pub grub , Co Op literally paces away& a fabulous foodie pub The Eskdale is a 10 min walk away. Thank you Annette we loved our stay as did our dog !

Hi Zoe, we enjoyed our stay at Amber Cottage in Whitby, your cottage is beautifully clean, comfortable & fully equipped with everything we needed. Thank you for providing a lovely peaceful Cottage away but oh so close to everything Whitby has to offer. (couple of minutes walk into the harbour) xxx

Spotless residence, as described, quiet and relaxing, away from bustle of York but a short drive to all excursions. Clean, plenty of cutlery, cleaning products and hand washes. Lovely surprise to be welcomed by fresh scones, with clotted cream and jam.

We had such a lovely time staying in this beautiful Airbnb in Robin Hood’s Bay. The location was perfect - picturesque, and just a short walk to everything we needed. Mark and Aaron’s home is spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like a real home from home. Communication was excellent throughout, and we felt truly looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to return, actually we will return - thank you for a wonderful stay!

Thank you for hosting us. We stayed Swallows nest for a night whilst visiting the coast. Very clean and had all the amenities you’d need. Beautiful surroundings and what a view from the patio. Great location for visiting Scarborough

An absolute GEM of a place! Copper cottage is immaculately clean! Peggy has extensive knowledge of all the needs of differently abled people and there is plenty of room to move around with a wheelchair or walking stick in the cottage. The Christmas tree field was a bonus to view and walk around - really magical. Our dog loved the local walks and there are great dog friendly cafes etc, nearby. The garden is huge and my daughter enjoyed the swing! My only complaint is that I didn't book it for longer! Do not hesitate to book!

Emma’s countryside home in Menethorpe, Marlon is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed. The location is truly picturesque, with a peaceful stream nearby and horses, sheep, and cows grazing in the surrounding fields. It’s the perfect base to explore the area — York is just a short drive away, and the lovely village of Malton is only 5 minutes down the road, offering great restaurants, shops, and pubs. The house itself is cozy, super safe, and very well furnished, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable family vacation. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully prepared. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Emma was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re visiting this part of the country, this is a must-stay. Thank you, Emma — we’re already looking forward to returning!

Emma was a fantastic host and we were really impressed with her proactive approach and communications. The cottage itself was perfect and well equipped and we all really enjoyed our stay. It was an excellent base for us to explore the area and we had a lovely few days away. A real gem.

A cosy cottage with beautiful views of the sea from the lounge/dining room and Master bedroom. Access to the property was very easy, with a thoughtful welcome tray with tea, speciality coffee and cookies on arrival. The bathroom shower is great! A bench at the front of the cottage is perfect for a morning cuppa as the sun rises. Parking is on street - no charge In Filey. I was able to park directly across from the cottage for the duration of my stay. Joe and Sarah were lovely hosts - very welcoming and on hand for any queries. I’d definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Wow. What an absolutely STUNNING property. We took our two children (7 and 3 years old) and my goodness it didn’t disappoint. There was a full bookshelf full of films, toys, books, games, a full toy chest, outdoor activities, basically everything you could ever want. We have never felt so relaxed on a break with the kids! 😅 Claire was amazing and greeted us, she gave us recommendations on where to go and was on hand for anything. We will 10000% be back, thank you so much for a beautiful experience, you are incredibly lucky to live in such a gorgeous area 🩷

A beautiful and cosy little cottage! Would definitely recommend to anyone. Great communication from, Judith must I add!! Would definitely stay again!! Thank you!

Our family had a amazing stay here with our dog! The location was perfect and the beach was just a short walk away. The restaurant and bar are across the road where the food was lovely and the house itself was perfect!! Exactly as shown in the pictures.

A great find. Comfortable and clean, well equipped cottage with shop, pool, gym and beach in walking distance.
