It nestles on the flat top of one of the tabular hills featuring a National Trail for walking. Just to the left of the village church is Gillamoor's 'Surprise View', built right on the edge of a moorland escarpment. After a long walk through the countryside and looking for a spot to relax, head into The Royal Oak Inn which is a Grade II listed building and has been part of the village community since the mid-seventeenth century, offering cuisine cooked to order. Gillamoor is the place to be for anyone seeking a quiet spot in the North Yorkshire countryside, whilst the city of York is within easy driving distance.

Rosemary made us most welcome.. Lovely extras, cake, milk and eggs. Also treats and a ball/bowls and towels for the dogs. Lovely little enclosed garden. Lots of birds on the feeders. Log burner was fabulous too. Local pub very expensive, £4.95 for a standard sized glass of pinot. Robbery without violence. Only downside which is no reflection on this perfect hideaway. We will be booking again.x

We had a lovely stay at Hen house.. It was meticulously clean and had all all the facilities we required. Set in beautiful countryside and with the added bonus of a great pub just a 2 minute walk away. It is now on our list of places to stay, again.

Gillamoor is a great village for a quiet get-away with some spectacular views and good opportunities for walking right from the cottage door.. It's also well located for reaching all the major areas of North Yorks, including the Moors. Hen House Cottage is well laid out and very dog-friendly with the stone floors and open plan living area. The garden is great too. Overall we had a fantastic week and would go back there again.

Very relaxing quiet traditional style cottage and village.. Royal Oak pub in village ok for food and drinks and friendly locals who sell apples, eggs and vegetables for a small donation to the church. Good for dog walking, horse riding and country sports. Easy access to the east coast from the village but don't expect to get anywhere quickly. The major supermarkets deliver to the village but there are several supermarkets and farm shops within a few miles. The cottage itself lends itself to self catering, plenty of utensils, crockery, cutlery, glasses, dishes, pans and gadgets etc. The owners are friendly and helpful and provided some Yorkshire Brack, Milk and eggs and a good welcome. The only criticism I have and it is on a personal level, I do not like the dark floor tiles in the wet room. Other than that the cottage is home from home.
