  Lovely well equipped cottage in a beautiful location, ideally situated for Whitby, Grosmont - Goathland, Scarborough.

  In fact you can walk out of the front door and enjoy stunning walks without travelling anywhere. The pub ‘The Horse Shoe Inn’ is literally next door a 20 meter walk across the grass where you can grab an excellent meal but you definitely need to book as it’s virtually impossible to walk in and just get a table! If you can’t get into ‘The Horse Shoe Inn’ then the pubs’ sister pub which is 2 and a half miles away is an excellent option, seems to be easier to book a table in here called The Fox and Rabbit’ also an excellent meal. I walked down to Levisham station a couple of times to see the steam trains it’s a one and a half mile walk ( just over 3 miles there and back) the hills on the way back are quite challenging as they are seriously steep! It’s also possible to walk to The Hole of Horcum from the cottage which is a beautiful setting. Nearest shops are back in Pickering where we stocked up out supplies, there’s a LIDL and a Spar As for the cottage itself everything thought of, well equipped and comfortable, shower wonderful after a hot sweaty day walking, washing machine and line outside to dry, everything except the two armchairs in the kitchen which for some reason didn’t have their cushions on them and we spent the majority of our time sat on these with small cushions as substitutes as it was so cool temperature wise in the kitchen area. The only other thing that we didn’t like was the recycling arrangements, everybody by now recycles and it’s instilled in us and I have no problem putting bins and boxes outside to be collected by the bin men whilst on holiday but taking our bottles to bottle banks in Pickering which is seven miles away is a no go for us!

  Sorry but I'm a one for lengthy reviews, so here goes.

  I've made sections so hopefully it's easier to read. 1) Getting there. The directions we're good and obtaining the key was safe and easy (followed the instructions & phoned the owner on key info). 2) Set up. The owners had a house next door and there are two semi detached cottages, a 2 bed & a 1 bed on site. Both had access to a private garden & summer house containing a bonus of chairs, tables & even a BBQ. Location was good, only about 5 miles from the sea & Hornsea ( if you are energetic you could walk it as there were footpaths, to keep you off the road). The area surrounding the cottage was quiet with almost no traffic noise. 3) Arrival. The owner (Louise) was present when we arrived. We received a very nice, Yorkshire, welcome. 4) Cottage itself We stayed in the 2 bed. Fresh flowers, milk in the fridge & a tray of tea & coffee was another lovely touch & true to the description in the brochure. The cottage was immaculate & everything worked as it should including a good WiFi signal. 5) To sum up. Good location, friendly owners (many thanks Louise and Pete) Immaculate cottage with added little touches that made it feel special. We will definitely be back when we are next in the area.

  Fabulous property in a lovely village.

  Really comfortable for a small family and the kitchen/dining room is delightful. Garden is smaller than it looks in the pictures but will lots of greenery and footpaths nearby that's not an issue. Village pub is in walking distance (dog friendly too) and is community run, friendly and welcoming. The beers rotate often and the food is good quality pub fare. Close to Leyburn for any shopping needs, Aysgarth for walks and only 20mins into Swaledale for even more walking and cycling routes. Absolutely ideal cottage for us and we'll be back. Might be worth adding some extra notes on recycling to the welcome folder as previous visitors had put everything out together mixed up and the bin men refused to take it. We did our best to sort it in to types for next time and took our own to a recycling point as it was full. Absolutely didn't impact our holiday just might be an idea to prevent it happening again.

  We loved the cottage.

  It was absolutely great and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was decent quality. The kitchen and dining area are fantastic and well-equipped. There were a couple of things that could be improved- There were some light bulbs in the kitchen that needed replacing, so the area wasn’t quite as well-lit as it could be. The fire had not been cleaned from its last use and there was no ‘starter pack’ for us to make a fire, although it was advertised in the listing. We were not cold, as the central heating was great. We therefore didn’t need to go out shopping for fuel. However, if this had been provided as advertised, we would have enjoyed the novelty. These two things are minor and could be remedied very easily. They did not detract from a lovely stay in a fantastic house. We will definitely be back.

  What a find.

  This cottage ticks all the boxes. Just like home, well better than home, because we don't have a pub next door at home. My only request would be to have a smart speaker in the kitchen, but otherwise everything was better than expected. We had some lovely walks, although we passed on the walk down to the station because our dog couldn't jump over the stile at the top of the hill, and the walk along the road was very narrow in places, so we used the car. Park all day only £3, [Pickering is £7], but then you will have to get the train The pub next door, was very busy and we had to book 2 days in advance, even then they could be fully booked. Cant wait to return to Manor Cottage, as I said earlier what a find. Many thanks to the owners for renting this property. 5 stars
