Whitby, North Yorkshire Coast

In 2003 The Piggery was a run-down cottage in dire need of TLC. An old farm labourer’s cottage dating from 1800, it had a cupboard that was a kitchen, a stone spiral staircase, infestation of woodworm and a severe damp problem. After the previous owners lovingly restored The Piggery, they saw opportunity to do the same in their overgrown gardens next door.

Work was finally finished on the other 4 stunning cottages over 10 years ago, and they were certainly built with heaps of determination, dedication and love, which we now love sharing with all of our guests who can also discover this little piece of paradise.

Ruston Parva, East Yorkshire Coast

In June 2023 our family home was added to the Unique Retreats collection of stunning holiday lets. West End Farm originally was a working farm set on 26 acres of land in East Yorkshire. In 2010 renovations started to create what is now a grand 6 bedroom house, perfect for large groups and celebrations.  The Lodge use to be a cinema room, office and gym when the house was lived in. We converted this space into a 2 bedroom annex, all on ground level making it wheel chair access friendly. The Lodge & West End Farm can be booked together or separately.

We redecorate and upgrade our cottages and retreats every year to keep them in first class condition, adding little changes to make them speak luxury for our guests to relax and enjoy.

The retreats, Ewelands and Cowslip, are romantic cottages sleeping 2 in complete luxury, but can also be interlinked with Cowslip Cottage and Ewelands House to provide accommodation sleeping up to 8, making it the perfect place for entertaining family and friends, yet retaining privacy if needed. Next door is the Piggery, a ‘little slice of heaven in which to stay’. Lovingly upgraded we have something to suit everyone.
