  This was our first time staying at Blink Bonney Cottage.

  It was lovely the views are absolutely beautiful. Especially from the bedroom watching the lovely pink sky's and odd nights went to bed early just to listen to the birds singing. The beds were very comfy and everything was there we could need. We enjoyed the Guess Who game it was funny. Sitting outside in the sun in the back was lovely then we sat also on the front. We also took the 11.21 train midweek from Glaisdale Station 3 times to whitby and return, if you time it right when you arrive in Whitby you can catch the X94 bus, onto Robin Hoods bay and return to catch the 15.59 train back to Glaisdale. The northern line is called the pretty line, it was beautiful. Our daughter loved it. We also enjoyed visiting Lealholm the next village, another pretty place and did the stepping stones. We filled up with fuel too there, very handy prior to our journey home, and visited the village store which has everything and also the most gorgeous garden centre and local pub. We had a wonderful stay thank you. Sadly our holiday ended on the last night with sad news of my Dad passing away and I think I was meant to be there when I found out, I went and sat by the stream on our last morning and a blackbird visited, it hopped right up to me and stayed for quite some time, maybe it was my dad visiting me one last time, that's what I'd like to think.

  Had a wonderful week away from it all this November in Blinkbonny.

  The cottage is wonderfully situated in the lovely village of Glaisdale, just up the road from the local pub and the train station. The cottage has everything you could need and is very cosy. The owners Jonathan and Rachel leave a welcome pack, of milk, local cake, Rachel's home made marmalade and a Whitby Gazette and are very helpful. There are also provisions in the cottage to use if you want to use them such as tea bags, coffee and all the essential cooking equipment etc. The stairs are quite steep but that wasn't a problem for us and to be expected in character properties. It was so quiet and peaceful and the views were stunning. There are many walks in the area with the added bonus that a lot of the local villages have a train station if you didn't fancy walking home. Whitby is at the end of the line too, so twice we caught the train there and back. I would highly recommend stopping in Blinkbonny.

  A lovely period house in Whitby .

  It’s well furnished, comfortable warm and well equipped. This was our second stay at Charlotte House and we thoroughly enjoyed it , even though the weather wasn’t brilliant. It’s nicely located , close to the West Cliff for the beach and a short walk down to the harbour. I always look forward to seeing what is in the Welcome packs and there was a nice selection of goodies from Bothams - which is just around the corner. It’s a dog friendly cottage and ours made themselves at home , one particularly enjoyed barking at all the passers by ! The beds are comfortable and 2 nice bathrooms , one of which has a lovely roll top bath . Parking permits are provided for on street and the West Cliff car park .We will definitely be returning for another stay .

  The house, Blinkbonny, was exactly what we hoped it would be like.

  The information was totally accurate and the finishings and fabric were of quality. The equipment in the house all worked and the variety of implements meant that it was a real home from home. It was an excellent situation for the day trips we wanted to undertake. Staithes, Runswick Bay, Sandsend, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Ravenscar NT Coastal Centre, Scarborough were all within reach. Lealholm well worth a visit for Stepping Stones, Garden Centre and Tea Shop. Falling Foss and May Beck circular walk impressive. Being able to play games after making evening meals was such a bonus. Thank you to Rachel and Jonathan for attending to the fine details.

  This is a lovely cottage set in what we think is the perfect spot for exploring the north york moors and coast.

  The cottage itself is roomy and well appointed. Michael the owner contacted a number of times to check that everything was good with our stay. There is a lovely communal garden at the back, which is a sunny spot. We were the only people using it. It was fun to watch the birds. Had it been warmer I am sure we might have eaten dinner at the outdoor table. There is a pub next door but one- which is busy. But fear not we had no disturbance what so ever. For those who want to walk from the cottage, if you get the OS map out you will be able to plot easy walks to the coast, which is what we did. Would definately stay again.
