Low Costa Mill

Low Costa Mill | Self-Catering Holiday Cottages | Pickering, North Yorkshire

Discover Low Costa Mill, a relaxing collection of seven charming 4-star self-catering holiday cottages, beautifully set around a picturesque courtyard with vibrant seasonal gardens. Nestled on the tranquil banks of Costa Beck, on the outskirts of Pickering, Low Costa Mill offers a peaceful countryside retreat right on the edge of the North York Moors, with the historic market town of Pickering just 1.5 miles away.

Thoughtfully converted from former farm and mill buildings, these character-filled cottages retain original features including exposed beams, brickwork, and stone walls, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Each cottage is furnished to a very high standard and fully equipped for a comfortable self-catering break, with well-equipped kitchens, plus bedding, towels, electricity and heating included, along with logs for cosy open fires. Please bring your own pool towels if you intend to use the swimming pool.

Dog-friendly stays
Low Costa Mill is a brilliant choice for a dog-friendly holiday in North Yorkshire. Five out of the seven cottages are dog-friendly, with a maximum of two well-behaved dogs per cottage. There is also a dedicated enclosed dog exercise paddock of at least half an acre, ideal for letting your dog off lead, especially handy for early morning walks, as well as playtime and ball games. If you are looking for pet-free accommodation, please note that Leat Cottage and The Granary are pet free.

Indoor heated swimming pool, all year round
Whatever the weather, enjoy hours of fun in the on-site indoor heated swimming pool, exclusively for cottage guests and open all year, including Christmas and New Year. There is an adjacent children’s pool for little ones. The pool is open 9am to 9pm (4pm to 9pm on Fridays). Guests can book a private 50-minute slot between 9am and 3pm, and from 3pm until 9pm there is no need to book, with a maximum of 12 guests in the pool at any one time.

Family-friendly grounds and space to explore
Set within 10 acres of gardens and woodlands, Low Costa Mill is ideal for families and nature lovers. Children can enjoy a treehouse, climbing frame, swings, a fully enclosed sandpit, and giant games including draughts, hopscotch, and snakes and ladders, plus plenty of grass for family games with seating for spectators. The Woodland Walk is accessed from the play area and invites you to explore the trail and discover features along the way.

Office-friendly, stay connected
If you need reliable Wi-Fi during your stay, Low Costa Mill offers a robust site-wide fibre connection capable of over 300Mbps, with Wi-Fi hotspots in each cottage, the pool area, and the main lawn for excellent coverage. It is a great fit for guests who want to balance exploring the local area with quiet downtime back at the cottage.

Extra on-site facilities
The courtyard provides ample off-road car parking next to the cottages. Cyclists are well catered for with four secure bike pods, each holding up to four bikes, plus a cycle repair stand with tools and a pump, and facilities to rinse and clean bikes. There is also a shared laundry room on site for cottages without a washing machine, and an EV Type 2 charger located within the reception courtyard (request use first, and move your vehicle once charging is complete).

Wildlife, riverside calm and friendly animals
For a slower pace, head past the stables to the Costa Beck and enjoy peaceful moments spotting wildlife by the tumbling beck. Wildlife is all around the site, with fully fenced ponds and riverside areas that are home to a wide variety of birds and other creatures. On-site there are also friendly farm animals and stable cats, adding to the memorable countryside feel that keeps many guests returning year after year.
