Ideally situated in the beautiful North York Moors National Park, a scenic drive along the country roads takes you to the historic port of Whitby. The area abounds with smugglers coves and quaint fishing villages untouched by the passing years.

Genuinely accessible for wheelchair users, not just tokenism. Lovely location if piece and quite is required with links to all the best North Yorkshire attractions. Really dog friendly with a lovely enclosed lawn area with open entrance. The owners are very friendly and helpful and although on site, did not intrude. Refitted since pictures to a very high standard. The EV charging point was an added bonus.Would highly recommend.

A well-laid out property, with a nice, open-plan living/kitchen area which was cosy and welcoming, but with enough space for decent turning circles for wheelchair users. The bedroom was also spacious and the door to the bathroom was nice and wide, and the bathroom itself was pretty good, with drive-in shower. We had a large garden shared with the flat above, and a picnic table & barbecue. A perfect place to enjoy some peace and quiet in the heart of the North Yorkshire moors. Suited our needs perfectly

Cart house was lovely, bit too remote for us mature people. I have arthritis so the layout of the Cart house wonderful. Bed very comfortable slept well. Little garden my little dog loved running round in . You can sit out and have a coffee or even have a meal outside . Unfortunately we won’t be going back as it’s getting to far for us . If you could arrange for Yorkshire to move closer it would be fantastic. We enjoyed every minute .
