What our customers say about their holidays

  Tim and Hayley were the perfect hosts, we really had a fab time in their lodge, on our arrival we were greeted with warmth and friendliness, and were made to feel as if we were old friends come to stay.

  the lodge was complete with everything you could ask for,It is very well presented and very tastefully decorated, a real homely feel from the outset, Right down to the fresh milk, luxury biscuits and even eggs fresh from the farm that Tim and Hayley so generously provided. The Lodge itself is perfectly situated to make exploring very easy, it is close enough to Whitby and Scarborough to just pop in to town shopping sightseeing etc, yet far enough away to be perfectly tranquil and quite possibly the most peaceful area I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. The experience of being gently woken in the morning by the multitude of wild birds singing is something I shall treasure and remember for ever, simply beautiful!!!!! I have no doubt in my mind we shall return and stay again and we would award "Thirley Beck Lodge" and Tim & Hayley 15/10 they have really made this a winner in our minds.

  Lovely cottage in great location.

  Very quiet yet only 10 miles or so from Whitby and Scarborough. Great forest and coastal walks nearby - we had our dog with us and she loved it. Lovely walk up disused rail line from Ravenscar also. Recommend Ravenscar cafe for breakfast and snacks just a mile or so away and Blacksmiths inn in cloughton close to for food as nearest pub the Falcon appears to be being refurbished. Cottage lovely and clean - Bedrooms small but as expected in barn conversion so no complaints although if you were tall they may be a problem with very low beams. Lots of extra kitchen bits and bobs provided and thoughtful welcome gift appreciated. Enclosed garden for dog was good for us also. Only comment would be pillows were very soft and seemed lumpy but that could be our personal preference. Would recommend.

  This is a little gem whose owners clearly have an eye for detail.

  In over 40 years of hiring self-catering properties (2 to 5 times a year) I have never experienced a property which was so well-equipped. Despite being on holiday. I always cook from scratch and usually find that something is 'missing' - but not at Granary Cottage. It was exactly as described and shown in the listing and from the moment I entered I knew it would suit my needs perfectly. Everything was spotlessly clean and well thought out and provided for, plus the location was peaceful. My previous experiences - Often, there is initially disappointment when entering a property and a feeling of being let down. Often, if a property is for 3 people, there are just 3 of everything. Often, equipment is not provided or is well-used and/or mis-matched. BUT I cannot fault Granary Cottage

  Such a beautiful place to stay, it is on a farm, so you just need to be aware you are driving down a farm track, but it's not a problem.

  We loved our stay and the views were beautiful. If I had to make any comment at all it would be, that it was very cold during our stay, and although the heating was perfect just having a net on the sliding doors made it feel very cold sitting by it, I understand it's for the views, but maybe some simple tab top curtains would have blocked the cold coming from the glass! But it's a minor point. Spotlessly clean and comfy, brilliant cooker and microwave. The farm eggs supplied along with the milk and biscuits were lovely to walk into after a long drive. Highly recommend staying here. Close to Scarborough and easy to get to Whitby. A lovely smile and welcome when we arrived. Overall no complaints at all. We LOVED our stay. And will definitely go back.

  Lovely cottage set in peaceful countryside surroundings.

  Very small but more than adequate for our week away. Unfortunately we were there before lockdown had been totally lifted (holiday postponed from last year) so none of the local pubs were open for dining out, which meant a fair trek to Scarborough for a take-away. Great for dog walking, though very hilly, as you would expect in the Yorkshire Moors! The cottage had a small enclosed courtyard at the back, so the dogs were completely safe which is a must when I book anywhere. The only thing I would point out is that the stair treads are fairly narrow and a long-handled broom would not have gone amiss. Overall a lovely little cottage in the heart of farmland on the moors. Perhaps a little too remote for us, but that's just a personal opinion.
