Welcome

A warm Yorkshire welcome at the farm gate

Enjoy a stay in our three-star self-catering holiday cottages, set in superb scenery with wonderful walking on the doorstep — and the chance to meet some of the rare breeds and animals kept here at the farm.

You'll find us seven miles from Thirsk and a mile from the village of Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe, within easy reach of Helmsley, York, Scarborough, Harrogate and Malton, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.

Rose Cottage Farm is made up of two oak-beamed cottages, Briar and Bramble, each catering for two adults. They sit right next to each other, so larger parties can book both together.

Latest news Bramble Cottage still available to book for the August Bank Holiday week. Please get in touch for details.
