  Firstly, The cottage is in a beautiful, idyllic setting.

  The first thing we noticed was the peace and quiet and on entering through the side gate the garden which is a “wow”. Craven cottage itself is a gorgeous, big, yet cosy cottage. You have everything you need here. The kitchen wants for nothing just yourself and your food, the unique dining room with church pews and lovely lighting, the comfy sofas, the log fire, the comfiest beds, pillows, duvets sets you up for a deep sleep. If you can’t sleep, go outside or just look through the window at the array of stars, a magnificent sight, listen to the wildlife. We spent a lot of the time in the garden and were amazed to be visited twice by a family of deer, rabbits and their babies and too many species of birds to mention all munching on the huge fruit trees. The pears are delicious! We visited a few places like Bridlington and Beverley etc but were drawn back to spend time in and out of the cottage. There’s lots of walks near the cottage and just down the lane is the river.. I also have to add that the owners of the cottage are very helpful if you are needing any information.. we will definitely be returning!

  This cottage is a wonderful location and place to stay.

  It’s within easy reach to the coast and other interesting places such as Beverley. It’s also a great place if you enjoy wildlife, starting in the garden where there is alot of bird activity (especially if you fill up the bird feeders). Top hill Low Nature reserve nearby was fantastic where we watched a kingfisher fishing. RSPB Bempton Cliffs was also fascinating. Local walks were good too. When holidaying in February it’s always a bit of a worry that the house is warm. However there is no worry with Craven Cottage; the warmth was obvious as soon as we entered and stayed beautifully warm throughout our stay. We turned the thermostat down at night and when we went out for the day but it still was cosy. The wood burning stove was an added bonus too, but not essential for comfort. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped with a luxury coffee maker. We would love to return sometime as a week is not long enough and maybe bring bikes as the roads are very quiet and flat.

  Craven Cottage is cosy and comfortable and full of character, atmosphere and original features.

  It's well-equipped and had everything we needed and we particularly enjoyed the books and games and jigsaws. The fairy lights on the dining room ceiling are such a magical feature. There's plenty of hot water and the beds and sofas are comfy and we loved the quaint old fashioned furniture such as the pews in the dining room and having a cosy fire in the wood burner. The huge garden is enchanting and bursting with Nature! It was wonderful to see so many Red Admirals plus rabbits, pheasants and partridges and at night time hear the hooting owls. As we all live in a busy town centre area, the peacefulness was such a treat and so relaxing. The charming village is perfectly placed for the coast and many visitor attractions. We'd recommend 'The Deep', Burton Agnes Hall and the seal colony at Flamborough. We'd like to thank the owners for sharing their lovely cottage and thanks too for the tempting welcome tray. Much appreciated!

  After reading all the positive reviews on Craven cottage it seemed ideal for our week break with our family and grandchildren.

  We wanted somewhere quiet with a large safe garden for the children to play / explore and easy access to nearby places. It surpassed all our needs and expectations and we would recommend it highly. Don't worry about traffic noise as it doesn't exist and during the night the only sound you are likely to hear is from a nearby owl. For anyone with a love for wildlife in the garden you won't be disappointed either. Take some bird seed for the feeders and relax on the patio whilst a variety of birds entertain you. Look out for the rabbits, visiting pheasant and cheeky squirrels who mop up any food the birds drop. If you are lucky you may even see deer. We were often late in setting off for a day trip with so much happening in the garden! Yes, a beautiful relaxing place for sure

  Pretty from the outside but lacks comfort inside.

  Pews instead of dining chairs were really hard to sit on and we didn't linger over meals as a result which was a shame. The mattresses were hard and uncomfortable to sleep on and we got stiff backs as a result. The sofas were not comfortable and a couple of extra easy chairs would have been good - we ended up bringing the bedroom chairs downstairs. The microwave was hopeless and the kitchen cupboards full of random utensils etc meaning there was nowhere to store our food. It rained all week so we found it difficult to dry clothes after using the washing machine - a tumble drier is needed. The space was good for 6 people, but I was disappointed it wasn't more homely and relaxing, the place needs a bit of love and money spent on it.
