  A lovely cottage in the perfect location.

  Very well-appointed and comfortable. It kept its rustic charms whilst still been modern in terms of appliances, facillities and features. The cottage's position overlooking the hillside and valley is used very advantageously in the design and it provides a wonderful backdrop both physically and as a view from the windows. We loved dining outside and overlooking these views. We had a couple of issues over patchy wi-fi connection, unavoidable I guess given the relative remoteness of the location, but they were always sorted quickly and without fuss and I suspect if we'd had any other issues that would've been the case also. The driveway is a little steep and difficult to negoiate in places and if you ever able to be in a position to change this I think it would serve the overall experience of the cottage well. One other thing that occured but didn't actually come into play whilst we were there, is the proximity of the two cottages on site to each other, with regards to privacy especially when outside. The other cottage was empty when we were there so it didn't apply, but we felt had it been occupied it would have prohibited us slightly in enjoying the outside and the garden as there was not enough of a fence seperating the two and not everybody is comfortable in sharing what is essentially a communal space with total strangers. We loved our stay at the cottage and can not speak highly enough of it.

  A lovely break away at a beautiful place.

  Denise & Chris were so welcoming & very helpful. Meadowsweet is a renovated grain barn and it was just fab! Lovely seeing the chickens wandering round, alongside lots of pheasants and lovely Casper the dog and Gaz the cat! The driveway is quite lengthy with potholes as previous guests have also mentioned, and steep in places too, so just go very steady up & down. We also struggled to find the cottage via the directions, but stopped at Goathland post office who pointed us in the right direction (back to Goathland Church from the post office and then right at the mini roundabout past the Mallyan Spout Hotel and follow the road quite a good while, then Murkside Cottages eventually on your right, just past a forest). All in all a really lovely stay, the place was just beautiful (beds so comfy too!) and scenery was stunning, lovely to wake up to each morning and could see the steam train in the valley too at certain times of the day. We were also not far from a lovely little village called Egton which had a great little pub called The Witching Post Inn. We recommend! Thanks again for a lovely stay!

  Loved our stay in this really sweet cottage. Set in a very quiet location it is close enough to walk to the shops and pubs nearby. The property is immaculately clean, beautifully presented and spacious. The kitchen had plenty of teas and coffees and is well stocked with utensils, great sized fridge and lovely cooker. Upstairs the bedroom is very comfortable with a good size bathroom and great shower. Several comments have been made about the parking. This really is not an issue at all. I have a Honda Accord tourer with a tow bar (16 feet long) and put it into the space at the back of the cottage with no problem at all. Reversing the car in was the way ahead -and my husband just helped with the guidance and moved the wheelie bins to the side in order to get it. Do not be put off by parking comments - the property is well worth the stay. We will definitely come back - we have been to Goathland many times. Our usual property was unavailable and we only booked this very last minute. So glad we did.

  Meadowsweet is an outstanding property.

  The views and position are simply stunning. The track down to the property we found to be well maintained, rather fun and well worth the effort. We saw Red Grouse, Red Squirrels, a Hare as well as having an incredible view of the barn owl swooping down the valley. The hot tub is a welcome addition to this well thought out and tastfully renovated property. The owners, Denise and family, were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Casper and Olly - the owners dogs were also great company, eager to play but happy to stop once told! We all fell in love with the peace and quiet: lovely walks can be found without getting in your car. A highlight for us was walking to Goathland from the property and having Sunday lunch at the Inn on the Moor. The best Sunday lunch we have had. We all had a great time at Meadowsweet and would highly recommend it.

  The property was generally very good, however, I didn't pick up from your details that the key in the key safe was for the side door and not the door where it is located. I also think your information could high light the restricted nature of the parking provision. The issues with the property were that the sash window in the main bedroom would not open and the rooflight had to be closed when it was raining so there was a lack of ventialtion. Also the landing light was not working and it is needed as otherwise the lighting on the stairs is poor particularly with the winders being at the top. I also noted that as you enter the sitting area there seems to be a patch of rising damp, on the right hand side. In future we are aiming to return to continental holidays rather than UK stays.
