Luxury Bed and Breakfast, B&B, Accommodation Whitby, Yorkshire, England

Cockmill Hall

Lodge No 109B

Dating from the 17th century and set beautiful gardens in the tiny hamlet of Golden Grove within the North York Moors National Park close to Whitby, Cockmill Hall is a real ‘find’.

An oak panelled entrance hall and a wide oak staircase lead up to the bedroom and bathroom which are large and light with lovely soft furnishings and antiques along with hospitality tray, television and DVD player, hairdryer and sumptuous robes. The bathroom also boasts an original Edwardian bath with an overhead power shower.

A hearty Yorkshire breakfast and afternoon tea are served in the elegant drawing room with its open fireplace, whilst dinner (by prior arrangement, is enjoyed by candlelight in the cosy dining room.

This is the perfect house for the world weary to relax – the only sounds to be heard are birdsong and wood pigeons cooing or a farmer ploughing the fields in the distance. There are no street lights to detract from the night sky – altogether the most peaceful and tranquil place to stay. The three acre gardens are gradually being restored to their Victorian splendour.
