  If you are looking for a cottage that is immaculate, comfortable and in the perfect location Acorn Cottage is the one!

  ! Acorn Cottage is ideally located for the North Yorkshire Moors, York, Beverley, Driffield, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Thornton le Dale ( For Mathewsons / Bangers and Cash fans), Pickering, Goathland (for Heartbeat fans), Whitby, Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington and Flamborough plus the little known top tip place from the owner Danes Dyke - an absolutely stunning area of natural beauty, marine conservation at its best. Back to the cottage, the owners are next door - not that you would know, communication before and during our stay has been brilliant, very helpful and welcoming and our privacy maintained. The cottage is a tardis, all the rooms are large and spacious, two very big comfy sofas in the lounge. The kitchen is light and airy, great for cooks, pans and kitchen equipment are all high spec and I must add, easy to use! The dining area is large enough for a family or six people (cottage sleeps 4 so plenty of room). The area opens out on to a little patio area, keeping the area sociable inside and out. Lovely sun trap and so is the seating on the lawn. The tranquillity of the cottage is lovely. Yes there is a country lane outside but there is hardly any traffic at all, the birds make more noise than any cars. The large hallway is great for coats, shoes, brollies and wellies - you never know with the good old Great British Weather! There is a log burner for cooler nights and a huge basket of logs should you need them. The TV has Netflix and the cottage has superfast WIFI. Central heating and plenty of constant hot water at your fingertips. Upstairs, note; the cottage stairs are steep/deep stairs, on the plus side I have had a good workout, on the downside, they aren't suitable for people with mobility issues or small children climbing unaided. The bedrooms are large and airy. The windows are great on hot days and the heating is welcome on the cooler evenings. There is a Jack and Jill bathroom that is high spec and spacious. Both bedrooms have plenty of wardrobe space, side cupboards/drawers, a hairdryer, fan for those particularly hot days and extra bedding. Luxury bedding and towels are provided. The beds are extremely comfy, you get a really good nights sleep. The area is so quiet day and night, lovely for star gazing too. Field views to the front and overlooking the garden. The garden is lawned with patio seating areas and full of busy birds, all happy to say hello to you!! Facilities include; radio, washing machine, dishwasher, iron and ironing board, vacuum, child friendly equipment such as stairgates on request, the cottage caters for a family stay. With regards to parking, plenty of room for cars on the lane, park on the grass opposite, as do the locals. The lawns are all maintained beautifully. The cottage is on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Kilham, set in stunning countryside, it has a great pub and country shop, beautiful looking church and has everything you would expect from village life - a community with heart. I would highly recommend Acorn Cottage and we will definitely be returning.

  It is a lovely little chalet.

  We were there in late January/ early February, I can imagine it would be nice to sit on the fully enclosed veranda in summer. On arrival, there was no milk or oat milk, which was on the list of 'what to expect', however we had taken some with us just in case. The mattress was very soft and feels like it needs replacing. The same with the L shaped seating. There were only 3 mugs, not a huge problem, as when our friends came round, we used one of the 3 small tea cups. We found the sweeping brush which was provided was full of hairs, apart from that the chalet was clean, and well equipped. The instructions/ welcome book were very clear and helpful. A nice touch to have a caddy full of dog treats. The central heating an air con/ fan heater worked very well to warm the rooms very quickly. There are LOTS of rabbits around the chalets, which are nice to watch, but very tempting for our dogs! The owners went above and beyond to support us with a request regarding our dogs.

  Hi, We had a really nice stay.

  We didn't spend much time in the chalet as we wanted to explore the coast. Bathroom was really nice and so was living area and bedroom. Well equipped kitchen. Please receive the further comments for improvement and not as a direct criticism as we did have a really nice weekend. The photographs are misleading of the outside. It appears there are 3 chalets on their own. We would not have stayed on the site if we had known as there was no privacy if we wanted to sit out. We received verbal homophobic abuse from the residents opposite (to the right of 138) on our arrival (not your fault...obviously, but it made us very uncomfortable) The decking and furniture outside needs cleaning (bird muck), the tap in the kitchen needs replacing as it was loose and the mattress may need replacing. We found it uncomfortable but this may be personal preference. Thank you for our stay.

  The property is lovely.

  As described. Very clean and spacious with excellent facilities. As this was for three friends with a small dog each, it was perfect as the owners accept three dogs at a small cost whereas many other properties only allow one or two. The fully enclosed garden was ideal. No small gaps for our dogs to escape from. Plenty of kitchen facilities and gadgets. A vehicle is needed as it is very remote so need to drive even to reach a shop or pub. But it is an excellent, peaceful base for visiting places along the East Yorkshire coast and lots of nearby interesting villages. Sadly for me my holiday was cut short due to a fall and ending up in Scarborough Hospital with a broken hip! But as our plans to see Whitby Robin Hood’s Bay and Goathland did not happen, if I did return to this part of the country, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

  Acorn Cottage is a little gem!

  Booked within 2 days of arriving and couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay for a few days. The owners Simon and Jacquie couldn’t do enough for us, we got a lovely warm welcome and they always had time for a chat when we saw them. The cottage is beautiful, clean and comfy, it’s extremely well presented and has a very homely feel, a great destination for the places we wanted to visit, wether inland or on the coast. There's some absolutely stunning walks locally or just a short drive away. The owners were so helpful, the communication from him prior to our stay was excellent considering we gave them less than 48 hours notice before arrival! The village has a great pub - The Old Star which is within a 10 min walk, it does great food. We loved it so much we will definitely be back.
