Dovecote House is part of a set of cottages at Killerby Old Hall. It's the big one. It sleeps fourteen, seven bedrooms, three bathrooms. It's got a 4 Star rating. You'll have the whole house to yourselves.
The building is old. The doors are low in some places and the floors aren't level. It's part of the character. If you've got someone with limited mobility, the ground floor is accessible. There's a ramp at the entrance and a bedroom and bathroom down there.
It's set around a courtyard. You get your own patio area with furniture. Some of the other cottages have hot tubs, but Dovecote doesn't. There's a shared indoor heated swimming pool on site you can use.
The owners live on site too. They're there if you need anything.
Location wise, you're in Killerby. It's quiet. Cayton Bay beach is about two miles away. It's a good sandy beach for walking or surfing. The village of Cayton is a five minute walk. There are two pubs and a shop there.
Scarborough is about four miles north. Filey is a bit further south. Both are standard seaside towns with all the shops and things you'd need. Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay are a good drive away, maybe forty minutes, but worth it for the day.
Inland, you've got the North York Moors. Pickering is where you get the steam train. Dalby Forest is good for walking or cycling. Castle Howard is about half an hour's drive.
Facilities: there's a dishwasher, WiFi, TV, parking. Bedding and towels are included. We can provide a cot and highchair. The garden is enclosed. No pets, sorry.
