  Lovely stay here.

  It is a peaceful location but easy to get to lots of places from here. The Street Head in is less than quarter of a mile away and serves lovely food. Tesco deliver here which was great for stocking up when we arrived because if you’re used to a large supermarket, then there aren’t any close by, however lovely smaller shops. Be aware that to get more than 4 people around the kitchen table you need to pull it out, which makes getting around the kitchen a bit tight. My only negative would be that we were a bit cold in the kitchen on occasions as we stayed the week the weather turned and I don’t think the heating had been adjusted accordingly. I gave up trying to figure the Rayburn out and phoned the owner who advised it was due to come on but that someone would visit if not. I know it’s been mentioned in previous reviews, but a welcome pack with basic info on things like this, as well as info about the recycling bins, would be so helpful. It didn’t spoil a lovely holiday but would have breakfast a bit warmer!

  A wonderful and well equipped cottage in the quiet village of Newbiggin.

  High level of equipment with excellent kitchen and utility room. The beds were some of the most comfortable we have experienced. Spacious, very clean and tidy and a lovely place to relax. The Street Inn pub very good and a few minutes walk directly down. Leyburn (with a decent Co-op store) and Hawes offer a range of opportunities and some splendid walks in the overall area. Walk a circular path to West Burton and enjoy the falls. A couple of points. Please note for customers, as previous reviews, the need for clear and short instructions for use of the Aga (not the mass of makers information). We struggled with this, there was a hand written note on them about resetting if a problem. The 'caretaker' reset all for us but we still did not get the central heating working as nothing pumped round. Also the bathroom toilet seat needs to be secured.

  The cottage is an excellent and well cared for property in a delightfully scenic part of the Dales.

  Although a car is necessary to reach local towns there are interesting walks readily accessible right from the cottage door. If you have 2 cars parking in the space by the cottage is tight but just opposite on the other side of the road is a space in front of a garage that is owned by Eastburn Cottage that enables a second car to be parked satisfactorily. The dining space in the kitchen is a bit tight when the table is pulled out and extended but we managed relatively easily even though there were 7 of us. The garden is small but well kept and is perfectly adequate for sitting out in the sun if you are enjoying fine weather during your stay. If you are not, then the utility room with its drying facilities is a real boon. We would be happy to return to this property at some time in the future.

  Great home base to explore the Yorkshire Dales!

  The cottage accommodated our family of 7, (made up of 2 adults, 3 kids and 2 elderly grandparents with mobility issues) PERFECTLY. The cottage was clean, and tidy and provided every necessity required for cooking breakfasts and dinners at home while also having close proximity to a lovely local pub (Street Head). The location is quiet and allows for walks right out the front door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I can quite honestly say that we wanted for nothing. It was a perfect holiday location which allowed us to unwind and relax. Highly recommend Eastburn Cottage!

  Eastburn Cottage was very comfortable, clean and had lovely views.

  We had a problem with the downstairs TV but this was quickly dealt with and we had no other problems. We visited a variety of visitor attractions - James Herriott museum in Thirsk which was very good and we liked Thirsk itself very much. We also enjoyed the Wensleydale Creamery and the Ropemakers in Hawes. We were unable to visit everything we wanted this time but we would stay at Eastburn Cottage again and would recommend it to others. We definitely liked the slower pace and less traffic of the Yorkshire Dales.
