Welcome to Greylands Cottage
GREYLANDS COTTAGE is a sandstone dwelling adjoining the 17th Century, Greylands Farmhouse (A Grade II Listed Building) on a working farm within the North York Moors National Park, and 700 yards from the cliff tops and spectacular views of the Yorkshire coastline.
The cottage has been used as a holiday home since 1989 and more than half our visitors return more than once, and in some cases every few months.
Located on a Working Farm on the North Yorkshire Coast
The farm is a 200 acre mixed farm with sheep, beef cattle and horses. We will be pleased to show visitors around the farmyard, which is very popular with the children. If you visit in the springtime, you can watch the sheep giving birth and assist with feeding the pet lambs. The cows calve from January to March and you are most welcome to watch.
Greylands Cottage is situated behind Greylands Farmhouse at the northern end of the village’s High Street, close to the Church and the turning to Port Mulgrave.
A Quiet Village Location - Perfect for Families
Hinderwell is a small village, but well supplied with shops and amenities, these include: Garage, Butcher, Hairdresser, Fish & Chip Shop, Tennis Courts/Sports Hall, 2 inns and two churches. There are three Inns within 250 yards of the cottage, all serve food and children are welcome. Hinderwell is on the main Middlesbrough to Whitby bus route, a bus passes the farm entrance every half hour during the day - very useful for getting home from long walks!
Hinderwell is ideally situated for exploring the local countryside. The area abounds with pleasant country walks and there are several easy circular routes from the cottage as well as longer distance walks. The farm also has land on part of the Cleveland Way, a lovely cliff-top walk through the Heritage Coast, which is easily explored from our base in Hinderwell. We can provide maps and suggestions as to other local walks. The picturesque village of Runswick Bay is 1 mile south, and the fishing village of Staithes is 1 mile to the north. Whitby is 15 minutes drive south.
