  The name 'Little Haven' correctly captures the essence of the property's location. It is in a beautifully quiet and secluded spot with no noise at all and very dark at night, yet only a couple of miles from the nearest village. It offers perfect access to cycling and walking routes on the moors. Cycles can be stored, by arrangement, in a very secure barn immediately adjacent. Ken, the owner, was very friendly, yet left us alone throughout the stay. There is plenty of parking space outside the front door. There are lovely views outside, best seen by opening the stable door in the kitchen area. The building itself is newly refurbished and decoration and fittings are brand new (in October 2021). The comfortable sitting room has a sofa and two arm chairs and dining table with a kitchen area which includes fridge/freezer, washing machine, two-ring ceramic hob, sink and combined microwave/oven. There is no conventional oven. There is a large TV, which we did not use! A good supply of crockery is provided. Bedroom 1 has a comfortable and new double bed and bedside tables. Bedroom 2 has two comfortable single beds and bedside tables. Both rooms have simple hanging space for clothes. All bedding is clean and new, and plenty of towels are provided. The bathroom is a good size and has a large (two person) shower cubicle with modern mixer controlled wall-mounted adjustable shower head, great water pressure and plenty of very hot water which never ran out. The sink is in a unit with storage drawers. A large electric towel rail was useful for drying towels. Heating throughout the property is from modern electric radiators which worked well - the time clocks and temperatures can be adjusted with some fiddling. Flooring throughout is laminate style, so there are no carpets to collect dirt. Instruction books for the main appliances are provided. The Wi-Fi Internet in the property worked very well (45Mbps download and 7Mbps upload), and there was good vodafone 4G mobile service. We enjoyed a meal in the Royal Oak in Great Ayton. Stokesley has plenty of places to eat, and we had excellent food in Sadler's Cafe and Bistro. Overall this is a lovely clean and modern property in a super rural location. It is very good value and we would recommend it to others.

  114 Westgate is a fantastic property the photos on Sykes really don’t do it justice.

  It is really tastefully decorated , furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Modern but also in keeping with the age of the cottage. The bathroom is brilliant and so relaxing loved the lighting around the bath. The shower was also excellent. The icing on the cake with this property was the hot tub . It was absolutely fantastic to relax in after an afternoon out walking with the dog. The whole back yard was really well thought out with benches artificial grass and colour changing lighting . Although NOT mentioned in Sykes description a parking permit is provided by the owner, it is on the sideboard in the dining room. This made parking easy most evenings we were able to park right outside. Guisborough itself is a lovely town with really friendly people. It has everything you could possibly need, Aldi,Lidl, Sainsburys , M&S and independent shops, pubs including Wetherspoons, restaurants, multiple takeaways all within easy walking distance from the cottage. We particularly liked Shurovi Indian takeaway / restaurant. Danny the owner is a really nice genuine chap and he will go all out to make your holiday at Westgate enjoyable and one to remember. I can’t recommend this cottage enough and will definitely be returning. Thank you Danny for a wonderful stay.

  Little Haven definitely lived up to its name! The views were breath-taking. Totally peaceful location. Ken met us on our first day to show us around and explain the hot tub etc. Then left us in peace for the duration of our stay. Sitting in the hot tub, glad of wine in hand, looking out over the peaks of north Yorkshire was a delight. Teenage kids were happy with fast WiFi, smart TV to access Netflix etc and comfy beds. There were plenty of walks of the doorstep, public footpaths lead in both directions from field. The field attached to the cottage was available for us to use with our dog. They're is a cute little stream at the bottom of the field. The only negative about the whole start is that the garden/field are not fully enclosed. However, with careful parking I could create a barrier to make a secure area for our dog. We would absolutely stay again, it was perfect for our family (single mum, 2 feral teens and a large, crazy pup). Head to the bottom of the field and turn right for a walk to The Dudley Arms. A lovely local pub. Head left and you can take a walk to the nearby farm shop and cafe followed my a trek up the Peak to see captain cooks monument.

  We absolutely loved staying at Little Haven! The owner was warm, welcoming and extremely accommodating throughout our stay. The views from Little Haven are lovely and you are welcomed by the owner to make use of his neighbouring field to walk the dog if needed. You can see Captain Cooks monument from the cottage and the views from the hot tub are unrivalled on an evening. The cottage was really spacious, as there was 4 of us staying and we had enough room in the double bedroom to place our travel cot. The living room/dining room/kitchen is open plan so you are able to socialise, cook and relax with your family or friends throughout the day. There is also an outside eating area for you to enjoy the weather when dining Al Fresco. The surrounding area of Great Ayton offers you many lovely cafes, eateries and hiking days with the many walks around the area. If you are looking for a great place to stay in the North Yorkshire or Teeside areas then this is the place for you!

  We had a really lovely stay at Little Haven. The cottage was warm and very comfortable. It was the perfect base for us to explore the beautiful Yorkshire coast with our dog and to enjoy a quiet getaway. The hot tub was a wonderful luxury and kept well by Ken, who also very kindly let us use the field next to the cottage for exercising our dog. The cottage was a good space for for four of us, including two teens, and the kitchen/dining/lounge meant we could enjoy dinners altogether. The shower was very good and clearly thought had gone into making the cottage a clean and relaxing environment. Beds were comfy and heating perfect for our Autumnal stay. We would definitely recommend to friends and family, especially those with a dog.
