Accessible, Self-Catering Holiday Cottages in North Yorkshire

Booking Enquiries Call Helen: 01751 431697

Set on our working family farm in the peaceful Vale of Pickering, our three single-storey cottages provide a comfortable, quiet base for anyone looking to unwind, explore the countryside, or visit the Yorkshire coast.

Everyone is welcome here. What sets our cottages apart is that they were purpose-built from the ground up for step-free living. Whether you are travelling with young children, bringing older relatives, holidaying with your dog, or need full wheelchair accessibility, you will find an easy, practical home from home.

Easy Living for Everyone, Thoughtful by Design

Planning a family holiday often means juggling different needs. You might want peace and quiet, safe spaces for children, good walking routes for the dog, or accommodation where nobody has to struggle with stairs or steep steps.

Dove Court was built so our guests can simply settle in and relax. The cottages sit on level ground around a sheltered central courtyard garden.

  • Level tarmac parking right outside your door
  • Completely step-free thresholds from the driveway through every room
  • Generous room layouts, lowered kitchen worktops, and wide doorways
  • Traditional country comforts including open hearth fires and private courtyards

It means independence for wheelchair users, straightforward ease for families with prams, and a restful break for everyone else.

Life on the Farm and Shared Amenities

  • Working Farm Life: Guests of all ages are welcome to visit our livestock barn to say hello to the farm animals. During spring lambing, children and adults alike can help bottle-feed the pet lambs under supervision.
  • Gardens and Play Area: Relax in our enclosed orchard, sit out in the central courtyard, or make use of the covered barbecue area. For little ones, there is an outdoor play area with swings and a sandpit.
  • Dogs Are Very Welcome: Four-legged family members are welcome across all three cottages at no extra charge. There are quiet farm tracks and level country lanes for walking straight from your front door.
  • Everyday Practicalities: Enjoy on-site laundry facilities with washing machines and dryers, private parking beside your cottage, and free Wi-Fi throughout.

Exploring North Yorkshire

Dove Court sits in the peaceful hamlet of Salton, tucked into the countryside between Kirkbymoorside, Helmsley, and Pickering. It is a quiet rural escape, yet close to the North York Moors, Castle Howard, and the coast at Whitby and Scarborough.

We are about six miles from the nearest town shops, so we suggest picking up groceries on your way. You are also welcome to arrange a supermarket delivery to arrive when you check in, and we will happily help you get everything unpacked.

“A lovely peaceful holiday to unwind and relax. Beautiful cottages, well thought out, and a welcoming, helpful family. It really is like home from home for us.”

— Guest review, Rotherwood
