Keepers Cottage is attached to the owner's home and is set in spacious grounds, shared with the owner. The lounge overlooks a small paddock in which sheep are usually grazing, together with lambs in springtime. A second paddock behind the cottage provides the cottage with a quiet and peaceful location, although only a few yards from Gillamoor's central village green

Visitors are most welcome to sit in the orchard - a most relaxing occupation on warm summer evenings. The orchard has apple and plumb trees together with bushes of gooseberries, and red and black currants. There is a paved area for 2 portable barbecues which may be borrowed on request.
Gillamoor remains an unspoiled working village, through which sheep are regularly herded and farmers seen going about their daily tasks. There are three farms within the village boundary.
At one end of the village, the picturesque church of St Aidan sits on 'Surprise View', which is a dramatic and panoramic view of the moors, while in the main street is the Wesleyan chapel. Both have interesting histories.
Our local inn is 50 yards away from the cottage door. The 'Royal Oak' serves excellent food and beers.
Although perched on the edge of the North Yorks Moors, Gillamoor has easy access to Kirkbymoorside (2 miles) and Pickering (8 Miles) where there are a variety of food shops and supermarkets for general provisions.
