Old Oak Cottages are situated in a delightful rural location, just outside the pretty village of Little Thirkleby, on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, boasting spectacular views across unspoilt countryside towards the White Horse of Kilburn.
This wonderful cluster of 8 luxury holiday cottages have been beautifully converted from Barns, Stables and an old Potato Store and retain many original features.
Each cottage offers the highest standards of comfort and design, and we ensure our standards of maintenance and housekeeping are of the highest level and it is also good to know that a significant proportion of our guests is based upon repeat custom and recommendation. Our number one priority is customer satisfaction. We have many, many outstanding guest reviews including Trip Advisor, Certificate of Excellence.
There is exclusive use for our cottage guests of our superb indoor heated pool, spa bath and sauna together with an all weather tennis court. This haven of relaxation is surrounded by 400 acres of well kept farm land, walks and duck pond. Children can enjoy the Climbing Frame, Swings, Slide, Football Net, Play Fort, Trampoline and See-Saw in the large fenced play/picnic field.
We had a lovely time at Old Oak Cottages despite the poor weather. The cottages are excellent ( we have stayed in them all except Badger ) as are the swimming pool , tennis court and children’s play area. The cottages are well placed for visiting gardens , houses and the coast. There are walks from the doorstep , long and short. Amanda and John are always on hand to offer help and advice and the welcome basket never fails to impress. We will continue to visit at least twice a year (record is five visits)
Our 3 visit to old oak cottages and second stay in Badger, testament to how much our family of 5 love this fabulous spot. A beautifully comfortable and well equipped cottage, fabulous swimming pool and play area for the children all within easy reach of super local walks and days out. We will be back!
An excellent cottage which was well equipped. We were staying with extended family so the proximity of separate cottages was ideal. Pool was great with the timetable really helpful.
We had another lovely stay at Old Oak Cottages, it was our second visit. John and Amanda are great hosts and nothing is too much trouble. We got the most beautiful welcome hamper full of local goodies. Seven of us stayed in Pheasant and it was just the right size for us.
It was a real bonus to have the washer and drier when we have kids. The pool is lovely and we used it most days. Sometimes the pool times don't work around days out so it would be great if there was a way for other cottages to mark to say they won't be using their slot in some way so others have more options.

Have stayed at Old Oak Cottages twice a year for quite a few years. Beautiful cottages, well equipped. Amanda/Amy always on hand for any problems, not that we’ve ever had one. Lovely welcome pack containing nice quality items most appreciated. My Lab Izzy made most welcome, she loved her jar of treats. We will be back
