Our lodges and cabins on the North York Moors
Most of the places here are lodges, cabins and cottages with a private hot tub, and the average sleeps about five. Many are small one-bedroom stays for two, which suits a weekend away. Others are family houses with three or four bedrooms. Ratings are strong, around 9.2 out of 10. Prices cover a wide range, from the cheapest nights found, which are well under a third of the usual price, to large houses that cost far more. If you are flexible on dates and location, there is room to keep the cost down.

The hut sleeps 2 people in one bedroom with a double bed. It measures 110 sq ft and has a private bathroom and a kitchen with a microwave and a minibar.
The North York Moors run from Helmsley and Pickering to the coast at Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, with forest cabins around Dalby and Cropton.
The North York Moors cover a lot of ground, from heather moorland and market towns such as Helmsley and Pickering to the harbour at Whitby and the beaches around Scarborough. The stays follow that split. Coastal places and the towns near the sea tend to cost more, while the inland bases are noticeably cheaper than the region as a whole.
Hot tubs are the norm here, with about 79% of places having one, so a tub alone does not set a stay apart. Log burners are in under half, and about 72% accept pets, which makes this a sensible area for a short break with a dog. Most places sleep around five, though the largest takes 18. Couples have a wide choice of one-bedroom lodges, and groups of five or six get the lowest cost per person. Ratings are high, at 9.2 out of 10 on average, and the cheapest nights are well below the usual price, so budgets vary a great deal.
Where to stay on the North York Moors
Whitby has the most places, followed by Scarborough, and both are dearer than the region as a whole. Saltburn-by-the-Sea is the dearest town in the list. Pickering, Helmsley, Cloughton, Thirsk and Rosedale Abbey are clearly cheaper, so inland bases cost less than the coast. Hot tubs are found in most towns, and in Great Ayton, Newton and Rosedale Abbey every place has one. York has the lowest share of tubs, so if a tub matters, check before you book there.

Features
A garden is the most common feature, followed closely by a hot tub. Log burners are in just under half of places, and high chairs are about as common, which helps if you travel with a baby. Places with a BBQ or a children's play area usually cost less than the typical night. Fishing and sea views sit at the other end, with usual nights well above the regional level. If you want a tub and a fire for a winter weekend, many places have both, and they cost about the same as those with a tub alone.

By number of guests
Stays for two are the cheapest in total, but they cost the most per person. The cost per person falls as the group grows, and the lowest figures are for the biggest houses. Places sleeping five or six are the best balance, with about three bedrooms and a lower usual night than the three or four guest group. Houses for seven or nine cost more in total but stay cheap per head. Only a handful of places sleep 15 or more, so book those early if you have a big group.
Usual nights rise steadily from November through to April. November is the cheapest month in this period, and April is the dearest. Availability moves the other way, with fewer places free in November and December than in the spring. Early winter dates, especially around Christmas, fill up first. If you want a last-minute break, spring has more choice, while November offers the lowest prices if you can find a free date.

All towns on the North York Moors
The towns range from seaside resorts to market towns and small villages on the moor. Coastal bases such as Whitby and Scarborough are good for beaches, harbours and fish and chips, while Pickering and Helmsley put you closer to the forests and the moorland walks. Small villages like Rosedale Abbey are quieter and cheaper. Check how far a place is from shops and pubs, as some cabins are a drive from the nearest town. A car makes the area much easier.
Which part of the North York Moors is cheapest to stay in?
Inland towns such as Pickering, Helmsley and Thirsk are usually much cheaper than the coast. Cloughton and Rosedale Abbey are also at the lower end. Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Scarborough and Whitby are the dearest.
Is a log burner common in the lodges?
About 46% of places have a log burner or fireplace. Hot tubs are far more common, at about 79%. If you want both, filter for them, as many places offer the pair.
Which size of lodge is best value per person?
Larger groups pay less per head. Places for five or six are a good middle ground, and the biggest houses are cheaper still per person. Stays for two cost the most per person.
Is it cheaper to go in winter?
Usual nightly prices are lowest in November and rise towards April. A week in winter costs about the same as one outside winter, so the saving is small. Early winter does have fewer free dates.

Based on the prices we check every day, a night in one of these lodges or cabins on the North York Moors usually costs £320, and a week in winter around £2,603 (£2,681 the rest of the year). Prices depend mostly on the dates and the size of the property.
