About Hardwick House Cottages
Set in peaceful Harwood Dale, one of the loveliest valleys of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, and only 3 miles from the Heritage Coast, and 6 miles to Robin Hood's Bay, these five beautiful cottages, have been converted from 17th century former barns set around a courtyard. Individually furnished and decorated with great interior design expertise the cottages are all double glazed and cosily heated for all year round appeal, offering the visitor a wonderful holiday base in this fascinating part of Yorkshire.
There are 25 acres of shared grounds, which include a nature reserve with wildlife lake and a fenced children's play area with swings, slides and playhouse making this an excellent location for young children. The courtyard is safely enclosed with automatic gate system.
