When you are looking for your own perfect holiday home, our experienced and helpful staff can help to point you to the property of your dreams. Whatever you want to ask about any of our properties, there will be someone on our staff who knows the cottage or apartment at first hand.

RedRoofs, with its stunning views over the Esk Valley and situated within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, is a spacious home ideally suited for family holidays or a weekend getaway for a group of friends. Within easy access of the village pub, and Whitby only a short drive away.

Information correct at time of writing. Aislaby is situated in the heart of the North York Moors National Park which is a great location for walker’s, families and groups looking to explore the wonderful countryside and villages, and nearby coastal towns and villages such as Whitby. At The North York Moors Railway you can experience a great day out on a heritage railway line where you step on to a vintage train and take in the stunning scenery of the North York Moors. For those ‘Heartbeat’ fans stop off for a wander around Goathland to witness the experience of ‘Heartbeat’. The Heritage line can be picked up Pickering, Goathland, Grosmont or Whitby. For a fun and challenging day and a chance to get fit, take a trip over to Scarborough to one of the largest natural water sport lakes in North Yorkshire. It is nestled within the picturesque countryside; and offers a fun filled day out for the whole family.
