  This is a lovely, warm and cosy cottage with the added bonus of 4 little ponies as the neighbours!

  It was a well equipped kitchen which made it great for enjoying meals together. Our almost 2 year old loved collecting apples from the garden. Outside the kitchen window was an active bird feeder which was calming to watch. There was a very nice welcome package. It's very useful having the bathroom downstairs to supplement the one upstairs. Great location for walks, trips to the North York Moors (we went to Whitby bay and Robins Hood bay - great day trip) whilst being close to the conveniences of North Allerton (Betty's tea rooms there is lovely). We did a trip to Thorp Perrow (arboretum, kids playground, birds of prey and mammal centre) and the Forbidden Corner (absolutely amazing maze, with sculptures and labyrinths - strongly recommended!). The only improvement is that we didn't find a clothes horse we could use indoors so it made a bit tricky to dry clothes after washing them. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

  Scarbeck House was excellent for our week in Masham. We used it as a base for many very good walks in the local area and never used our car. It is very well equipped with loads of good crockery and cutlery and a very well equipped kitchen with lots of worktop space. The beds were all comfortable although the room at the top of the house was a little cold and not very spacious but would be ideal for children in warmer months. The road outside was quite busy and large lorries seemed to start passing from around 5am (weekdays) and went on for most of the day, but there is not much that can be done about that. The owner phoned a few days before we arrived and was very helpful and friendly. All five of us in the group, agreed it was an excellent place to stay and it's very likely we will be back again, either in the same group or with our families. I would have no hesitation in recommending Scarbeck House.

  We had a wonderful break with three generations of family and our dog visiting the ancestorial home of Masham, even though one grandparent had recently broken his hip after the holiday had been booked the owners where very accommodating, even the stairs on the first two levels where manageable under the circumstances, the house had everything needed to enjoy a comfortable stay and there are still the wonderful places to eat like the Kings arms and a local café that provided our lunch time menu very efficiently, the garden is fully enclosed with a back gate / path to get you to the front of the house, this was ideal for muddy paws and wellies to clean off before accessing the kitchen area. We also received a lovely welcome pack and a postcard ( which I forgot to take home with me!! )welcoming us to the property. I would certainly recommend this property and will be back in the future.

  Webstone House is a gorgeous cottage in a stunning part of Yorkshire.

  The cottage has a lovely homely feel, is well equipped and very well located for getting around North Yorkshire. I spent many a happy moment watching all the different birds, from tiny Robins, stunning Pheasants to the village Peacock wandering down the lane. The Gardens are lovely and the whole place is peaceful, its a real sanctuary wasted if you are planning to just sleep and go - I recommend time is taken in between days out to stay 'home' and enjoy the cottage and amble around in Thimbleby, or walk up to Osmotherly, its all delightful. There is Clay Shooting near by but I didn't find the gunshot sound intrusive and wasn't happening all the time. The Host was friendly and quick to respond to any concerns I had.

  We had a wonderful stay at Olive Tree Cottage.

  The cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and equipped with everything you would need. The private parking was a great bonus on the small lane that the cottage is located on, a location which meant almost total silence at night despite being close to the centre of town. The host provided all the info we needed for the cottage as well as some local recommendations which were appreciated. Honley itself is a fantastic base to explore the surrounding area, whether on foot or via the impressive bus and train links. We brought our two whippets with us and the town is very dog friendly. All in all, couldn’t recommend Olive Tree Cottage highly enough and we would have no hesitation in staying again.
