  We had an absolute 5 * experience and loved every minute at Plum Tree Cottage and it excedeed all expectations prior to arrival.

  The photo's do not do this beautiful Cottage justice. Can't wait to return. On arrival we had a fantastic welcome pack including Coffee, Tea, sugar, yummy chocolate brownies and biscuits and a bowl of chocolates in the sitting room. There were also treats for our dog Bella, doggy towels, poo bags and fresh water awaiting our arrival for her. The cottage was spotlessly clean throughout and the shower was the best we have EVER had!! The location was perfect and our enclosed garden was beautiful and perfectly maintained and a pleasure to sit in of an evening after lots of busy day's of walking and visiting our favourite places. Just 2 minutes walk at the bottom of the garden was a stunning little train station which took us to Whitby for a few hours. My partner loved the bay window in the sitting room and spent lots of time looking at the birds and other wildlife. One highlight was watching the ducks come waddling across for food at breakfast time. I honestly can't praise Plum Tree Cottage enough. The only downside for some may be having no WiFi, but for me it was rather nice not having phone calls and messages.

  Very enjoyable stay but a few pointers.

  Insructions for use of TV are not correct. If you follow instructions on card it says to use source button and scroll fown and highlight scart, incorrect. TV will only show channel on HDMI 1, HDMI 2 is for the X box with which to watch either Netflix or Youtube. Also it should be mentioned that to watch Netflix you need to have your account password to use and although I use an X box at home I feel lots of people will struggle using the controller to complete any tasks ! Sky is only for the WiFi, not anything else even though this is written down on the card !!! Also feel that the bench outside and the patio could do with a jetwash as after any rain the floor is quite slippy and even after wiping feet it's difficult not to walk ang Green slime in, the bench suffers from this as well, staining your clothes! All in all a very nice, cosy and comfortable cottsge in an ideal location. Thank you, Linda.

  Having just spent a lovely week at Plum Tree Cottage, we wish to congratulate alan and Karen on getting it spot on.

  Set in scenic and tranquil Castleton, Plum Tree Cottage nestles in the hillside (even sheep occasionally wander by!). Its actually a lovely 2 year old one level bungalow with all home comforts thought of. Plenty of crockery and cutlery, lovely bathroom plus torches and binoculars for bird watching at breakfast too. the sitting room is cosy in the evenings whilst the little garden catches the sun for tea and cake. Alan and Karen left us newspaper, milk, cookies and chocolate which was a nice touch. The location is ideal for visiting the many picturesque villages (once you’ve driven over the gorgeous moors) such as pickering, Helmsley, goathland. a visit to Whitby is a must too. we shall return to this wonderful home from home.

  Just returned from another totally amazing stay at Plum Tree Cottage.

  Once again everything was perfect. Clean and cosy and the biscuits and cake were most appreciated on arrival. The last review on here was quite unnecessary. The description of Plum Tree Cottage clearly states the steps down to the cottage. These are shallow and very accessible. We are in our 50's and had no problems what so ever. Alan & Karen just leave guests to enjoy their holiday unless you need them. We had no trouble with our Internet at the cottage at all and could make and receive calls without going to the top of the hill. Can't praise this place enough!! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at Plum Tree, we'll be back next year.

  Really enjoyed our stay at Plum tree cottage.

  The cottage was warm and cosy and equipped with everything we needed. Extra touches such as chocolates, biscuits and a welcome pack for our dog which included towels, blankets and treats! the cottage is in a small remote village but there are 2 pubs within walking distance plus a coop and a train station at the bottom of the owners garden. It is a great base for exploring the North Yorkshire coast with the only downside being the lack of phone signal and wifi. All in all though it was one of the best cottages we have stayed in.
