Staying in Great Ayton

Great Ayton is a village in North Yorkshire, sitting close to the North York Moors, with a mix of cottages, farm stays and manor-house accommodation rather than large hotels. The properties here are spread across the village and its surrounding hamlets: some sit on The Blue Lodge and Kuki Whinstoneview, one is at Aireyholme Farm, several are grouped at Ingleby Manor, and one sits on Newton Road.

Because the accommodation is cottage-style, the appeal is space, privacy and practicality: kitchens, gardens or terraces, parking and, in some cases, hot tubs or shared facilities. Couples looking for a quiet break, families needing separate bedrooms and high chairs, and groups travelling with dogs will all find something here. It is less suited to travellers wanting a staffed hotel with a reception round the clock, though a handful of properties do offer a 24 Hour Front Desk.
