🍂 Autumn in Dalby Forest 🌲
If you’re looking for an easy-going family day out, take a trip to Staindale Lake in Dalby Forest. There’s a lovely, short circular trail around the lake, perfect for little legs and a gentle stroll through the forest. Along the way, look out for the Dragonfly sculpture — or simply find a spot by the water and sit for a while.

Fresh air, beautiful woodland and autumn colours 🍁

Add it to your list of days out in the North York Moors when you’re staying at Low Costa Mill.

☀️ Goodbye September… you’re certainly going out in style! 🍂

What a glorious end to September, warm sunshine and blue skies, but a nudge that autumn is gently arriving. The trees are just starting to turn, while the sedum and helianthus are putting on a fabulous splash of autumn colour. It really is a beautiful time to be outdoors — perfect for exploring, walking, cycling or simply sitting somewhere sunny and enjoying it. If you’ve been thinking about an autumn escape, come and enjoy it while it’s still lovely!

Need a break… but don’t have a week to spare? 🍂

You’re tired, the weekends disappear in a blur, and somehow there’s never quite enough time to relax. Come for a short break at Low Costa Mill.

A few days in the Yorkshire countryside can be enough to slow things down. Explore the North York Moors, enjoy a proper country walk, discover a pretty village or head to the coast.

Then come back to your cosy cottage, put your feet up and forget about the to-do list for a while.

🍁 Short breaks are available throughout the autumn and winter months, and because nobody likes to rush… optional late checkout is available too!

Sometimes you don’t need a long holiday.
You just need a few days somewhere you can breathe.

📩 Drop us a message for short-break availability.

A little look at my week at Low Costa Mill… It’s been a bit of a mixed bag.

🌲 A highlight: a session in Dalby Forest where I had the chance to sit in the hot seat and chat about the Visitor Economy in North Yorkshire. A really interesting morning, and not a bad place to have a meeting.

🔧 Less glamorous: replacing a broken hob at 3pm on a Friday afternoon! 😩 Not quite how I’d planned to end the working week, but these things happen when you run holiday cottages.

As always, there have been plenty of chats with our lovely guests. I never get tired of hearing what people have been up to and helping with ideas for places to visit.

And finally, we’ve had a rather exciting wildlife report. One guest spotted a Great White Egret. We regularly see the smaller Little Egret around here, but a Great White Egret would be a very exciting addition to the list. I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes peeled!

So that’s my week — visitor economy discussions, broken hobs, guest chats and wildlife spotting. Just a fairly normal week at Low Costa Mill

Thanks for all your guesses, the answer is …. 48cm. Some of you were very close.

As you can see the chickens absolutely loved it 🐓🐓🐓 I think they’re rather pleased I forgot to pick it 🤣

Well I forgot to pick the last courgette! 😂

It’s turned into a bit of a monster, it was so big I needed both hands to carry it.

But how long do you think it is?

Take a guess in the comments, closest guess gets absolutely nothing… except the satisfaction of being right!!

I’ll reveal the answer in a few days, I have a feeling our chickens might get the last laugh 🐓🐓

Autumn has a way of making you slow down. 🍂

Golden trees, fallen leaves, conkers beneath your feet and apples ripening on the trees.

Then there are those crisp autumn mornings when the sunrise over the North York Moors stops you in your tracks. The roads are quieter. The villages are peaceful. And there’s plenty of countryside waiting to be explored. Stop for a coffee and cake. Discover somewhere new.

Then, as the afternoon draws in, head back to Low Costa Mill, kick off your boots and light the fire.

🍁 Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Low Costa Mill — and we still have some availability.

Which would you choose: a day exploring or a cosy afternoon by the fire? ❤️

💐 Feeling very spoilt this morning!

We’ve said goodbye to some lovely guests today. One gifted us a beautiful bright bunch of flowers, while the other handed me a lovely pot plant, a tub of chocolates and a slice of birthday cake. Unfortunately the birthday cake didn't last long enough for a photo!

We really do appreciate these thoughtful gifts, although they are never expected or necessary. Having happy guests and knowing they’ve enjoyed their stay is more than enough for us. 😊

But thank you… you’ve certainly made our morning! 💚
