About Marwood

Located on a south facing wooded hillside overlooking the Esk Valley, Marwood is in an idyllic setting, sheltered by woodland and fields on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Visitors may even catch a glimpse of Deer, Owls and foxes - all regular visitors (to the garden, not the B&B)!

The original Yorkshire stone house has been extended and added to over the years to create a large private guest suite complete with en-suite bathrooms and ample parking. Guests have their own access to the rooms allowing them to come and go as they please. A large lounge provides the opportunity to relax on an evening or enjoy the summer sun on the front patio. Sun patios are also provided adjacent to the guest suites. Visitors can enjoy their breakfast overlooking the gardens to the front of the house. Continental and Full English breakfasts (including vegetarian options) are always available.

The village of Sleights is close by offering a village shop, public house, and a chance to sample the delights of Whitby fish and chips. Those who don't wish to drive have the choice of the Esk valley bus routes and the Whitby & Middlesbrough Railway line. At nearby Ruswarp you can journey on a miniature railway, go boating on the Esk and enjoy a cream tea whilst feeding the ducks. Due to the steep nature of the surroundings, access may not be suitable for some wheelchair users, Visitors are advised to enquire before booking. Details on the Contact page.

Whitby is very popular with tourists all year round, especially during bank holidays and the summer months when tall ships are moored in the harbour. Booking early is recommended.
