External utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer (shared with ref UK38152).. Enclosed garden with patio, garden furniture and BBQ. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. This characterful 19th-century cottage is one of two semi-detached cottages built soon after the moors railway line was laid, which connects moorland villages and towns to the coast. Named Platelayers Cottages (after the original residents whose job was ‘plate-laying’ as they built the nearby train tracks), they still witness the heritage steam trains which pass by. These mighty locomotives are sure to delight as they make their way to the seafaring town of Whitby. The owners have taken care to ensure that you have an exceptional stay, with thoughtful touches such as a little tuck shop, where you can get treats to enjoy during your stay including sweets, drinks and disposable barbecues. There are also cycle racks for your bikes, an enclosed garden with a patio and seating to enjoy the scenery, as well as the wild birds and wildlife. The living room boasts a wood burner and the kitchen/dining room is well equipped. On the ground floor is a kingsize bedroom with a vaulted ceiling as well as a family bathroom. With beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls, this cottage has an authentic, characterful feel throughout. Upstairs, the second kingsize bedroom has a en-suite shower room, and there is also a twin bedroom. Stephenson Cottage is a great size for families as well as couples. This is an enviable location for guests who love the great outdoors, with the incredible National Park just waiting to be explored. The nearest village is Levisham around a mile away, with a fabulous pub serving hearty traditional meals. The coast is only a 30-minute drive away, with scenic historical coastal towns and villages including Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough, all perfect for days out. Take a ride on the heritage steam train from Levisham to soak up the scenery across the rolling moorland, with quaint villages to visit along the way. Be prepared for grand landscapes and big views on the North York Moors. Starting with the dramatic panorama from Saltersgate over the Hole of Horcum, there is a wonderful scenic walk following a prominent track over Levisham Moor. If you are feeling adventurous, why not try ziplining through Dalby Forest tree tops or race along the trails on a Segway? Or try paddleboarding and the water assault course at Wykeham at the North Yorkshire Water Park. Flamingoland theme park and zoo is less than 20 minutes’ drive away, and great fun for children of all ages. For history lovers York is within an hours drive away, this vibrant city with an iconic cathedral has many attractions which guests can enjoy all year round, from the railway museum, Yorvik viking centre, the dungeons and the theatre. Throughout the seasons this a beautiful place to visit, with the colours of the forest changing from month to month - check out the local events for the upcoming Christmas period! A perfect choice for guests looking to reconnect with nature. Beach 17 miles. Stephenson Cottage can be booked together with Hudson Cottage (UK38152) to accommodate up to 10 guests. Free WiFi The external utility room is shared and has a washing machine and tumble dryer. ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, high chair](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99700000/99691600/99691512/3edefdab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Old Potting Shed, Kirkbymoorside, North York Moors Kirkbymoorside, York, - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available - Fireplace 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=99691512&PinnedHotelID=99691512&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cookware/dishes/utensils](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99530000/99520700/99520613/f518dca6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Hartoft, near Rosedale Abbey Hartoft, near Rosedale Abbey - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=99520613&PinnedHotelID=99520613&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92900000/92897500/92897448/f9161aea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Meadow View Cottage - UK33302 Pickering - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=92897448&PinnedHotelID=92897448&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69660000/69653100/69653019/655468a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lock Cottage, 3 bed cottage (sleeps 6) in Lockton nr Pickering Lockton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=69653019&PinnedHotelID=69653019&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dishwasher, high chair](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/66000000/65710000/65708800/65708712/bfb29d1f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Pickering Pickering - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Parking available 9.2 Wonderful 7 reviews £325 includes taxes & fees 14 Oct - 15 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=65708712&PinnedHotelID=65708712&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![High chair](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32940000/32930800/32930748/5343c480.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Cropton, near Pickering Cropton, near Pickering - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=32930748&PinnedHotelID=32930748&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32929000/32928981/d1838b59.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Lockton, near Pickering Lockton, near Pickering - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=32928981&PinnedHotelID=32928981&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32928700/32928615/1e7bac8f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Lockton near Pickering Lockton near Pickering - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=32928615&PinnedHotelID=32928615&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dishwasher, high chair, freezer](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32922200/32922184/2af84652.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 bedroom accommodation in Spaunton, near Lastingham Spaunton, near Lastingham - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=32922184&PinnedHotelID=32922184&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32922000/32921938/83318360.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Panoramic countryside views can be savoured from this barn conversion.

Loved this cottage and it's secluded location. Lot's of wildlife around and plenty to do and see in the local area. Couldn't complain about anything! ##### Andy Gardiner ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel P. 8 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### 8/10 Lovely property, I think key location could be clearer after a long drive, only 2 towels for 4 people but as weather hot managed as able to air on the line. Could not contact hosts as this was through another agency cottages.com. Would be happy to stay again as location perfect for the railway ##### Rachel P.

We did thoroughly enjoy watching the trains pass by and waving from the garden. Agree with previous comments about more pots and baking trays being needed. The tuck shop is a great idea but there was not much in it. Also, if you are going to charge for use of the washing machine and tumble drier this should be disclosed in the property description. Photos are a little deceptive for kitchen and dining room as you step up into them from the living room and the head height reduces quite a bit - tricky when 2 of your party are over 6 foot. ##### Jennifer Watson ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
