We purchased Murk Head Farm in 1994, as a run down farm house set in 160 acres of very beautiful North Yorkshire countryside and some derelict barns!

Today it is far from this. The location of this farm was crying out to be enjoyed so we converted the four redundant buildings into self-catering holiday cottages.
Services
Painter's Cottage has a lovely country feel. Light and airy, relaxed and personal and yet still very much as luxurious as all our four star self-catering holiday cottages.

The wonderfully comfortable sitting room has the Murk Head trademark window across the main wall, affording a spectacular view of the North York Moors National Park (possibly prompting you to consider a visit to nearby Dalby Forest, the North York Moors Railway or simply a walk on the North York Moors).
When it comes to four star holiday cottages North Yorks can boast four of the very best, right here at Murk Head. And with The Stables you can take in the stylishly modern open plan layout and the spectacular views of the North Yorks countryside the very moment you open the door.

Stables Cottage is very comfortably furnished, as you would expect from four star holiday cottages, North Yorks rolling fields stretching before you as you relax in the lounge facing the floor-to-ceiling picture window.The dining-kitchen arrangement means you can have that fish out of the river, into the pan and onto the table in record time.
Scarborough hotels can offer many things, but if you prefer a little more freedom and space to relax, Mill Cottage at Murk Head is one of the finest places to stay in North Yorkshire. The self-catering option is one that Scarborough hotels certainly don't offer, but that's simply one more reason to choose Mill Cottage.
This stunning single story stone barn has been furnished to the highest standard, surpassing even the luxury one might expect from the very best North Yorkshire holiday cottages. The comfortable open plan sitting room affords you the luxury of relaxing in a fine leather suite, while taking in the whole of Murk Head's spectacular vista, right to the horizon, through the double doors.
There are currently no listings for late availability accommodation, but please feel free to call us on 01723 871686 in case we have a cancellation. It has been a week to recharge the batteries, to relax & enjoy the beautiful location, so handy for many places of interest. We have felt really at home here & the weather has been amazing.

Murk Head cottages offer everything you need for a Yorkshire break. Beautiful scenery right outside your window, comfortable clean and well equipped with a warm welcome from the hosts. This working farm is conveniently situated between Scarborough and Whitby in the North Yorkshire Moors national park. An ideal base for exploring the coast or Moors.

A lovely home from home with all the conveniences. I loved how the heating was on when we woke up and came home. It was 15 minutes from Whitby and Scarborough which was perfect. Thanks for a lovely stay.
