Welcome to Woodpeckers Cottage – a pet-friendly countryside escape nestled in the rolling hills between Scarborough and Whitby. Perfect for couples or solo travellers, this charming retreat offers a blend of comfort, seclusion and scenic beauty with thoughtful touches throughout.

The Dog Field
A real highlight for dog owners is the brand-new, fully fenced 1.5-acre dog field – completed in January 2025. Surrounded by a tall hedge and robust fencing, it’s a safe space for your dogs to run freely while you soak in the rural tranquility. You're also just steps from footpaths leading through open fields for scenic daily walks.

Living and Dining
Step inside to find a welcoming open-plan living space where natural textures, neutral tones and soft lighting create a cosy ambiance. Sink into the leather sofa and unwind with a film on the large-screen QLED Smart TV, complete with Netflix for easy evening entertainment. It’s a lovely spot to relax after a day of exploring the coast or countryside. For guests who need to keep in touch, the fiber speed of 200mps ensures video-calls are a breeze.

Kitchen and Cooking
The fully equipped kitchen is bright, modern and practical, with everything you need to prepare hearty meals. A stylish range cooker, microwave, fridge and coffee maker are all to hand, along with essentials like crockery, utensils and glassware. There’s even a small breakfast table with stools, ideal for a quiet morning start.

Bedroom and Comfort
A comfortable bed awaits with crisp linens, soft pillows and built-in wardrobes for ample storage. The wooden cabinetry and calming palette enhance the sense of calm, and reading lights offer a cosy glow for bedtime reading. Wake to birdsong and the gentle morning light filtering through rural views.

Bathroom and Essentials
The modern bathroom is fitted with a power shower, heated towel rail, fluffy white towels and a stylish vanity unit. A thoughtful welcome basket with toiletries, including toothpaste, body wash and other essentials, ensures you feel cared for from the moment you arrive.

Outdoor Space
Enjoy your morning coffee or evening drink in the garden, lined with flower baskets, where you can spot woodpeckers at the feeder or simply listen to the birds at the bath. On clear nights, the location’s official Dark Sky status offers a spectacular view of the stars – best enjoyed wrapped in a cosy blanket with a hot chocolate or nightcap.

Local Area
Woodpeckers Cottage offers easy access to the dog-friendly beaches of Scarborough and Whitby, both within a short drive. You'll also find dog - friendly country pubs and cafés around 10 minutes away by car. For nature lovers, early risers might even spot deer grazing in the morning mist, and birdwatchers will be in their element.

Your Hosts
Jacqui and David are experienced, friendly hosts who are happy to share their local knowledge, whether it’s recommending the best coastal walks, dog-friendly beaches or the finest nearby eateries. If you prefer total peace and privacy, they’ll always respect your space.

Safety and Peace of Mind
Guest safety is a top priority. Before every stay, smoke alarms, emergency lighting and the fire extinguisher are fully checked and maintained, with regular professional inspections. The property features a keyless exit and a wide-opening bedroom window for added emergency egress if ever needed.
